    Replay assist doesn’t do holding penalties. They can cover obvious mistakes made without coaches having to do challenges 

    They shouldnt do penalties at all. But we've seen them review illegal men down field which is not normally a reviewable play.

    I’ve met plenty of people in their 40s who still look youthful. Rodgers is not one of those guys. He looks grizzled and increasingly tired. He also looks ridiculously slow in the pocket. 
     

    Rodgers is obviously grasping at straws. It’s sad, at this point. 
     

    Brady comparatively, as much as it pains me to say it, seems to have found the secret sauce of youth. The expensive hair plugs probably help with that tho…
     

     

    HGH does wonders.

    My girlfriend lives in Welland, so i need to get back to Fredonia for the game.  

     

    Last time i left early, arrived at Peace Bridge at like 830ish, and it was insane.

     

    Leaving Welland at 6am this time.  Beat the backup.

    Solid move having your wife and your girlfriend in different countries.

    I've been enjoying the occasional drop-in on Fin Heaven this year. It's an absolute delight, if you haven't been over there recently. But, boy oh boy, Dolphins fans are perpetually angry at Jordan Poyer. I don't think Poyer is an upgrade over Rapp at this stage of his career, and maybe only marginally better than Hamlin. 

    He's cooked. No speed left. He's been slowing down for a couple years and instincts and experience can only take you so far.

    Florida is cup champs so they are, you know, good.  Did you notice how hard the Sabres played them? Very physical. Gave them a lot of trouble. That's different from the same old Sabres. And they did manage to come back. But you can't make mistakes against a good team. So they lost. They weren't going 82-0. Next game is Friday. Move on.

    I feel like you missed a couple of my previous posts, but whatever. I said I'd give them a game of my time if they won 3. I gave them a game and if I'm really honest about I was halfway back out the door after the first period. Maybe I'll flip them on again at some point later in the middle of winter when there's nothing else going on. Probably not. Definitely not appointment viewing though.

     

    And if that makes me a bandwagon fan, that's fine.  Their level of ineptitude over that period of time made me not want to watch hockey anymore. It's not that I don't watch the Sabres, I don't watch the sport that much anymore. My son went to their last home playoff game. He was 5. He's now a freshman in college. He was also a hockey player himself. I would have liked to enjoy Sabres hockey with him more as a child but that ship sailed and yes I'm a little bitter about it.

    Fwiw, his numbers look like this:

     

    3 TDs in 7 games

    Averaging about 4 catches for 50 yrds per game

    Still only bringing in 50% of his targets

    Missed their last game with a "rib" injury

     

    I don't know how much the numbers were affected by QB play and I don't know if he was really hurt or just bubble-wrapped for a trade.

    All I know is they traded a player and a pick for him in March and now gave him away for basically nothing halfway through the season. Obviously they weren't impressed. The price tag tells you what the rest of the league thought also.

    He's got enough money to spend the rest of his life traveling and eating surf and turf so I'm not going to feel bad for him.

    It's hard to manufacture a lot of empathy for a-hole drama queens.

    He drives Lamborghinis in the snow. I'm not sure a lot of wise financial decisions have been made.

    My understanding is that it was for one play when he was really gassed after a bunch of running around.

    He probably shouldn't have done it, but it's going to get waaaaaayyyyyyy more attention than it deserves.

    It didn't help that he was 2 for 15 with a horrible INT in the first half. When you're having that sort of day and then tap out for a play it looks a lot more like quitting than if he'd been balling out.

    Then don't watch 'em, bro.

     

    Saying "they look the same" tells me how little you know hockey.

    1. Ok

    2. 2-0 first period deficit, lost 5-2 they looked like naive little boys playing against men last night.
