Ooo ahh Sabres on the warpath!

IIRC, Ruutu was part of the trade for Hasek

... but my firefox extension still has it at yellow ... ... is something wrong with me? or my firefox? or my FF extension? /sarcasm

While I lived in WI, we advocated putting up a 100' wall around Illinois, then filling it with water ...

who named their team after the Jets?

it looks like we're full

Create a team and look for the league called: Unofficial TBD League Initially, make your team name match your user name on TSW

I am still looking for 4 tickets -- if you have seasons and don't want this game, we'll take them. PM me please

dumping a former franchise QB who had slipped in recent years and is sent packing, taking swipes at the team's decision vs. relegating the current starting QB who has never been better than average who quietly accepts the backup role and is ready to come off the bench Not really similar situations ...

but you still receive your signing bonus -- that's your insurance. That's why players play for lower amounts but receive the S.B. "Nuts, I got cut this year, so I lose my 3.4 million (unless someone else signs me). But I received my 7.9 million when I signed the contract 3 years ago."

I killed a squirrel on my bicycle when I was 16 -- the same year that I almost hit a deer going 45 mph near Letchworth State Park (on bike). I have hit a pheasant (not a peasant) which exploded like a feather pillow. And I have hit a bobcat.

We are looking for 4 tickets together for the preseason game. We are willing to pay, but obviously would like to keep the cost minimal. This is my son's 8th birthday -- and his third trek up for the kids day game. Anyone? Anyone?

gotta love this kinder, gentler TSW

Smells like ... victory!

I haven't seen WOTW yet, but it's hard to argue with a score by John Williams -- quite possibly one of the greatest composers (of a classical genre, not modern) of our era. Kinda like dismissing a film by Spielberg because it's a remake of DeMille.

Is that where the drug runners from Lost got their money from?

cool. Dufek, sounds more like an insult

I remember Joe Dufek wearing #19 ... not to major on the minutia ...

yeah, it was 99 yesterday in PA too. And I'm out back of my house building a 14x30 deck 8 feet above the ground ....

In our area (NW PA), the teams are assembled somewhat randomly, but they stay together as much as they can through the different levels. I watched one game this year (9-12 year olds) and the final score was something like 23-1. I asked about this because the winning team had a lot of big kids and the losing team had mostly 9 year olds. I was told this was done intentionally -- that in two years, the team that lost 23-1 would probably win the championship after staying together and growing together. Essentially, every kid starts off on a young team that is prone to lose, but ends up on a team that has a very good chance of winning -- if they don't quit.

I'm actually kinda hoping that the imagery and allegory of the story is deep enough that the execs at Disney don't even realize that they just told the story of Christ.

I had my doubts about them doing all 7, but the trailer erased those doubts. They are planning on it based on how the movie is being marketed: The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. The L, W, & W is actually a subtitle. It is being marketed as the first installment of the the Chronicles.

Watch the PBS version, not the recent one with Anthony Hopkins -- great actor, but the story isn't quite as powerful.

IIRC, Nicole Kidman was originally cast as the White Witch ... wonder what happened?

as one who was in Chicago for Harry Carey's last season, and now in Pittsburgh for Cope's swan song, I say they both ended their careers too late. Both of them were exhausting and annoying to listen to. Cope, just cuz of his voice, and Carey cuz he was drunk most of the time.
