The debate on tank is mired in different perceptions of what tanking is.

Having read your posts for more this, you believe it is more of a soft tank...i.e. the management did little to nothing to improve upon a failed roster from the season before. I don't believe you believe Housley and the players purposefully played under their skill level.

Other interpreters the tank to be a hard tank...where players and coaches are in on it and fail purposefully.

So, when a poster challenges your shaft tank position, they come from the hard tank mindset.

I believe you are closer to the truth ... and Botts realized the roster sucked so he took "a year to evaluate it" to cover for not make g moves...Including keeping the kids down on the farm .

Ion- absolutely the Sabres management did everything in their power to finish last.

I really do not believe the players did any tanking.

Phil could go either way.

I want to say this is way too complicated for someone to make up. But I don't know.

It doesn't matter. We all live in the same place.

My uncle's friend with the Sabres called me and said " I sent you a gift, look out for it to be delivered." Well it got here and I opened it up and it's a F$$KIN Tim Connolly autographed home Sabres jersey. I called him and said," what am I suppose to do with this crap? " He laughed and said "wear it with pride" . I'm sending him a pile of dog s$$t back.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said Monday that the Bills are unlikely to trade up to No. 2 in the draft, but may make a move to No. 5 or 6.

The Bills, of course, are in the quarterback market and have two first-rounders, two second-round picks, and two third-rounders to use as trade bait. "From what I understand, it's not going to be one of those things where they just sell out and (trade) all the way to No. 2 with the Giants," Rapoport said. "I would be at this moment surprised if that happens." Rapoport considers a deal with the Broncos at No. 5 or Colts at No. 6 much more likely.

If it helps, in my experience, any Tom, who insists on spelling his shortened name with the “h” has been a big time delta bravo. Almost as certain as the dude that insists you call him by his full name.
