Nothing beyond the bees. That's where the short lived sadistic-side of my childhood ended. And no bees perished under my very questionable training techniques.

When I was a very young lad, I told my friends I could train bees. I would catch them in a jar, cover it and let it sit in the sun. If I remember correctly, it was about 15-20 minutes. The bees would get exhausted from the eat or lack of oxygen. Not sure which. I would uncover the jar and let them crawl on to a flower. It would take some time before they had the strength to fly away. So, I would walk around and show my friends my trained bees. After a couple of times, I figured out about how long it would take to get their strength back, so I would instruct them to fly away. timing wasn't always good, but effective.

It appears, all the coaches in the front row were given instructions; "hands on the knees,or folded in the middle" McDermott and McVay apparently weren't listening, or simply scoffed at the instructions.

Yeah, right! And Col Jessup never ordered the "Code Red!"

How about "D-Ho".

I had to look those up. I didn't know they made those wimpy safety darts. I was referring to the original, old-fashioned steel gladiator darts.

Nor should you. If you did, you'd be taking away his cheat code. Let the man run. It not only fires himself up, but the team and fans as well. The threat alone probably opens up plays.

Lawn Darts at night? Intriguing.

Only one I prefer.....early season Buf @ MIa. ..... No sun!!

I'm not on instagram. Anyone have a picture?

I've never been a big Dahlin fan. Early in his career he was inconsistent defensively and couldn't keep pucks in at the point. Sure, his game has gotten better the last year and a half. But if one defenseman not named Dahlin can cause this much of swing, it's got to be a knock on Dahlin. I know he's dinged up a bit and maybe it's a bad defensive scheme that Samuelsson covers up, but if Dahlin is a true trophy contender than the D should not be this bad.

I'd rather have a free chili dog and beer!

What day is it? I gotta git to Illinois.

Why do I get the feeling that the title of this offseason is, "Just put a band-aid on it. It'll be fine."

Other than the Taiwan Jones piece, that article offered nothing to me. Part of it is kind of an oxymoron of itself. It talks about how the Bills have all these high priced players, a rather indictment of Beane, and how our rivals are getting pieces at greater value. Then it praises Beane for his free agency moves. As we all know, the jury will deliberate on those moves well into the upcoming season. The article also has a Capt Obvious ring to it. It talks about the playoff collapses, specifically the Cincy game. That loss is all too obvious to those that watched the game. Which is why Jones had no alternative except to agree with the Uber drive. It criticizes McD's philosophy which many here have done, and arguably so. However, the article offers no real solution. It's almost like a "Part 1 of 2" where there is no Part 2.
