The other what-if thread (promoting Pettine to HC) got me wondering if people would feel any differently if, after Marrone quit, we elevated Schwartz to HC and it was he who recruited and hired Roman as the OC. Would people here feel much differently? Is there more confidence or support for Rex as HC vs. Schwartz, given the same OC? On the one hand, there is the continuity on defense (Schwartz), while on the other, there is the track record and creativity on defense, plus the allure and personality (Rex). None of this matters, of course, I'm just curious. For the record, I'm totally on board with the Rex hire.

All we need is an offensive line that can keep guys off of the QB, whoever it is, and we should be sitting pretty.

We were leading at halftime of the last one...

Agreed!

Awesome! Go Cornell! Loved it there.

Man, you can say that again.

Whoa. Clutch win by the Coyotes.

No way Arizona gets any more points the rest of the way. This is going to be a real nail biter. If the Sabres and Coyotes end up tied in points, who finishes #30?

The tweet seems to imply they are wondering about his post-playing plans (ie, coaching), rather than him as a player.

There were two shadow babies in the books, and the impression I got is that they were born for one purpose: to kill an individual, after which they disappear. GRRM hasn't done anything more with them for several books, so I'm guessing he's done with the shadow babies. Unless he plans to use one more to kill, say, a Bolton. But I don't see that happening.

I highly doubt this team goes with a raw rookie behind center this year. Not the way it's stacked right now. But I guess stranger things have happened.

There are a lot of Packers fans where I work, but I'm the only Bills fan (of course). I tell them all that last year's game against the Pack was my Super Bowl. And boy, did I let them have it.

I love how we read deeply into everything.

Since we don't have a 4th I imagine it's a tough call, as I agree they're probably offering one of our 5ths. Maybe if nobody else bites...

My right, or your right?

I still believe in him.

You, sir, get a gold star.

Okay, well that makes sense. I don't know much about Eichel other than he's an excellent prospect, I just thought he wasn't on the same level as McDavid. Perhaps not.

Right, but the point was that there are three other cities already going, so I was wondering what the experience thus far has been.

Wrapped up and relax? Sure, if it was guaranteed that the worst team would get the #1 pick. Instead, all it does is give us the best chance out of what is generally a poor chance of getting the #1 pick. That's what sucks. At this point I'd put money on the Sabres not getting the #1 pick regardless of what happens, but that's just the cynical **** side of me.

No kidding. Almost sorry I asked.

It's hard to believe how far this team has come in just a year.

No kidding. I'm basically resigned to the fact that, no matter what, Buffalo has 0% chance of the #1 pick, and some other !@#$ing undeserving team will get it.

Confirmed: don't watch the show if you don't want to know what happens in the end. From: 5 People Having A Worse Monday Than You Ugh. To watch or not to watch?

I live in Salt Lake City, and Google just announced it's coming here. I'm happy about it since I still use DSL (15-20 Mb/s) and won't do the Comcast thing, but I just wanted to see if anyone here lives where it's available and has any experience with it, both from a price and performance standpoint.
