Certainly a different post-NFL career route. Hope he makes the transition. http://www.foxsports.com.au/foxsports/afl/gold-coast-suns-sign-former-nfl-player-brandon-kaufman/news-story/681e1ce1eec0dc29709013cc584b112b

I went to the game last night, first one I've seen live this season. McDavid was spectacular, but don't be quick to write off Eichel. Jack makes great plays throughout the game and is great defensively, too. He also won a lot of big draws in the game. One advantage McDavid has over him right now is better quality line mates. Often on Jack's shifts he makes a great pass that his teammate can't handle, they lose the puck and it!s shift over. Kane seems an especially bad fit to be skating with Eichel - a puck hog that takes a lot of bad angle shots that produce no rebounds out front. I trust that GMTM will use FA and the trade route to give Jack a first rate line to play on next year. Keep the faith, Eich will go down as an all-time great Sabre. As a side note, exiting the arena last night was a nightmare. The sidewalks were caked in ice, with a lot of people slipping and falling on their way to their cars. The ride home was treacherous with a lit of police lights flashing at the scene of accidents. Was happy to get home unscathed.

Thank you for the kind words. Let's leave it there on that happy note.

You have direct knowledge of how they're living today, I provided it in the update that resurrected this thread. I can't speak to how they were living when Tim wrote the article, I didn't know them then. I can speak with first hand knowledge of how they are living since the fund and it's a home run of success. Darryl is receiving ongoing treatment from the national CTE center in Boston. They have straightened out their finances and have purchased an affordable home that they can live in for the rest of their lives. Darryl is working for the Bills. Most importantly, Darryl is no longer suicidal and his life once again has purpose and meaning. I don't know what else to say to you. I do know that the fans of the San Diego Chargers would give anything to get the same reports of progress about Junior Seau. Who knows what the future will hold for Darryl, but for now a very proud man accepted money he never asked for and has used it precisely in the manner that his fan base hoped he would to turn his life around. I'll close by saying that I spent two hours with the Talleys on Sunday and there were many expressions of thanks from them about the love and support displayed by this fan base. I left there feeling really good about what we accomplished and you, nor anyone else in the glass half empty crowd, aren't going to harsh that mellow.

It is. Also they were able to buy an affordable house and get out from the upside/down rent scenario they were trapped in. Darryl is in a far better place than he was a year and a half ago and it is completely due to the Bills and Mountaineer fan bases. Who knows what the future holds, but, right now, this story has a very happy ending. Thank you all that circled the wagons for Darryl, you're all the cat's pajamas.

Had a great brunch yesterday with Darryl and Janine Talley and the wife of former Bills safety Leonard Smith at the Left Bank. We talked about a lot of things and shared some good laughs. Darryl looks great and the Talleys are doing absolutely wonderful. Thought you all might enjoy the update.

Paul Hamilton from GR55 said that it was the NHL screwing with the Sabres as payback for the Tank last year.

I've got a feeling this is going to be in that girl's future. DNSFW

Actually made me laugh out loud. Well played, Sir.

Don't know why Macca and Beck wanted in anyway, but Tyga your clock just struck 15 minutes. http://www.tmz.com/2016/02/16/paul-mccartney-denied-beck-taylor-hawkins-video/

Yes, she was born and raised there.

A beautiful woman who nearly died of a drug overdose in the '90s and turned her life around after finding religion. RIP http://www.cbsnews.com/news/prince-protege-vanity-dies-at-57/

It was only 2 minutes in, many people hadn't made it to their seats yet.

Eichel scores another slick goal. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/gotta-see-it-another-puck-for-the-eichel-tower/

Just finished the series. It was awesome, maybe even better than Daredevil. Ritter was great in the title role. Luke Cage was a great character, can't wait to see him in his own series. Tennant was spellbinding as Kilgrave. Only disappointment was that the Patsy Walker character didn't become Hellcat - hopefully in Season Two. The show had great action scenes, more sex than in any other super hero show, mystery, intrigue and humor. My favorite line was when Patsy was showing Jessica a costume she wanted her to wear and what super hero name she should adopt. Jessica - "Unless you add a little more material, the only name I could go by is camel toe." Great show, can't wait to see all of the characters in the Defenders.

I'll flip the script: with a few key draft choices and FA pick-ups the defense will be top 5 next year. I still believe in Rex and think he will get it done.

The festival was held on his farmland. He was forever enshrined in the Joni Mitchell song, and C,S,N & Y hit, "Woodstock." "I'm going down to Yasgur's farm, gonna join in a rock-in-roll band. Gonna get back to the land and set my soul free." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Yasgur

I was reading through a list of actors from Buffalo and was surprised to learn that Sorrell Booke, Boss Hogg himself, is from Olean. Had I known that earlier, I would have rooted a little harder for him to catch those Duke boys. (Also just read that he's a cousin of Max Yasgur of Woodstock fame)

Eichel named NHL 3rd star of the week. Scott gets 1st. http://sabreshockeycentral.com/2016/02/01/eichel-named-nhl-3rd-star-of-the-week/

Loved that John Scott scored the first goal for the Pacific.

An amazing read from an articulate guy. This piece makes him an all-star in my book.

"I was really hoping we'd have another thread that would get hijacked to discuss whether OJ's name should come off of the Wall of Fame'" said no one ever.

Here's another pic, albeit with someone's store number over it. Hopefully, you can see this one.

Another rock icon has left us. I saw Jefferson Starship play on the revolving stage at Melody Fair in the early '90s. After the first few revolutions, Kantner stopped the show and said, "I feel like somebody put us in the microwave, Man." Drew a big laugh from the crowd.

Nice piece that ran at the time in the Baltimore Sun. http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1991-01-29/sports/1991029177_1_mario-cuomo-buffalo-scott
