Greggo getting the crowd all fired up. A bit surprised he didn’t use a bull horn to give the speech though... ?

Laguardia is a nightmare. I only fly into LGA when I have no other choice. I always fly into JFK if at all possible (sometimes it’s not as close as LGA to where I need to go but it’s very easy to get anywhere in NYC from JFK). I am usually flying on a very tight schedule myself. I usually have to be headed into the city by about 11am and take a flight that is scheduled to land at JFK somewhere between 8:30 to 10am. I’d say roughly 80+% of the time I have no issues being on time. There are definitely the odd times that the plane runs late. I find it’s best, if possible, to take one of the first 2 flights of the day. Much less chance they are running behind at that point. Also, If your wife is a frequent flyer and doesn’t already have it, I would highly recommend applying for TSA pre-screening. It’s something like an $85 fee for 5 years. Speeds things up a lot. You don’t have to take off your shoes, coat, belt etc. and you get to skip the main security line to go through a much much shorter line (there’s usually a handful of people in line, at most).

Good suggestion. I was just going to suggest JetBlue too. I fly to NYC often and always use JB. They have flights for as cheap as $55-60 each way (depending on the day of the week and time of year, etc). Its only a quick 45 minute flight if you’re strapped for time. Amtrak is great if you have more time.

They are all pretty short, but that’s what WGR has up right now. I’ll add in the full interviews when I see/find them posted

Ah man, what is wrong with me?! How did I not use a picture from “Leatherheads”? Opportunity missed... ?

https://www.mtvuutiset.fi/artikkeli/suomalaistahti-rasmus-ristolainen-vaihtaa-seuraa-nhl-ssa/7493272?fbclid=IwAR3VVkpuzji6gC7deVeJ45_PQhsKzMd9_t4JHaaccQt6dF74te_Qo86fENE#gs.rxhd2d article from a Finnish news source (MTV it’s called) that I am told by numerous Finnish friends is very reliable and wouldn’t report this unless it was true. They said it’s kind of the equivalent of NHL.com - a site that only reports real, confirmed news. Apparently the title of the article is “Ristolainen switches to a new NHL team”. (according to my Finnish friend). He says there isn’t any real details on the trade in the article. no team is named but this MTV claims to have received confirmation that a deal involving Ristolainen is very close and will happen before the season starts. Take it with a grain of salt, but I just figured I’d share.

I wonder if John Brown coming in here and kind of feeling like “the guy” at WR has been a boost to his confidence. Sounds like he’s killing it. He really seems to be embracing this opportunity to run with the #1 WR role. Sounds like Josh Allen is killing it too. Honestly, as a long time die hard Buffalo sports fan all this positivity is making me a bit nervous.... ?

Im not so sure about that... ?

Thoughts and Prayers with Kyle Peko’s wife as well as everyone here battling this terrible disease. I really feel for you all. Best wishes!

Shaq putting the moves on! the guy yelling “oh ****” made me lol

Josh is definitely an easy kid to root for.

I am really liking what I’ve seen of this guy so far. I like the energy he brings.

Antonio Brown arrived at Raiders camp in a hot air balloon.

Good point. I forgot how close to the cap they are after signing MoJo.

The arbitrator can pick whatever amount he wants. I believe you are thinking of baseball where iirc the arbitrator picks one of the 2 offers. But in NHL arbitration the arbitrator sets whatever amount he feels is right. The sabres press release even says it was the arbitrators ruling - Because ERod is the one who filed, the Sabres got to pick the term -> 1 or 2 years. And the Sabres could only walk away from the ruling if the arbitrator set a salary above $4 or $4.5M (or something like that). Edit - here’s a link explaining the NHL arbitration process if you’re interested https://www.dkpittsburghsports.com/2019/07/06/nhl-salary-arbitration-rules-faq-aston-reese-tlh/

Seems kind of dumb that they didn’t settle at $2M x 1yr before the arbitration hearing seeing as the ruling landed exactly where pretty much everyone expected it to land when it came out that the Sabres were at $1.5M and ERod at $2.65M. Also, Im guessing the reason that the Sabres chose a 1 year term is that he is a UFA in 2 years time.

Sheary thanked him too. I found that interesting. I can’t really remember seeing that happen too often (but maybe I just haven’t paid close enough attention...).

Interesting idea. Especially with how flag happy some refs are with the holding calls. And also, I have to say that I already like this Marcel guy better than Rodak! lol

I like the camera angle in those 2 highlight videos posted so far (Allen to Jones, poyer breakup). It made it easy to see Allen going through his reads. Looked like he got to (at least) his 2nd read on both plays.

Here’s the full Beane/McDermott press conference - https://www.buffalobills.com/video/brandon-beane-sean-mcdermott-it-s-a-journey

Just came across this video - https://www.buffalobills.com/video/coming-soon-buffalo-bills-training-camp (Sorry, don’t know how to embed from the Bills site) it’s titled “Coming Soon: Buffalo Bills Training Camp”. Not sure if it’s a continuation of the embedded series or not, but I’m excited to see it either way!

So it looks like the Sabres and ERod went through with the arbitration hearing. They can still come to an agreement before the arbitrator rules. Hopefully whatever happens it doesn't sour the relationship between him and the team. But I’m not going to lose sleep over it if it does.

So sorry to hear this. I went through something similar with my malamute and it’s terrible. My condolences.
