You also saw E Rod as a good 3C

And Soderberg was so desirable that only the lowly Arizona franchise made a play for him

Reason just eludes you here Captain

And despite the fact I told you this months before you or Botterill accepted it - 6 months ago - you call me captain hindsight.

That's rich

I'd like to see him for another year, and if he doesn't get better at crunch-time calls then he can go.

I wouldn't touch that job, the Browns are a walking disaster.

Players of Eichel's caliber, aside from freak injuries of course, stay very productive well into their 30's.
- Wetbandit1

I would bet the odds of Eichel playing a game for the Sabres past the age of 30 is exactly 0:1

Soderberg is on pace for 22+24 at the center position

Haula is on pace for 30+15

Your blind enthusiasm for the GM is clouding your judgement. He (frank)ed up. That's it

- jcragcrumple

I'm glad our GM has more perspective than you do when it comes to building a team. We definitely should be trading assets for a 34 and 28 year old when trying to build a team. We probably should have traded for Neal, because he's on pace for 32 goals. 5 in the last 29 games.
Sure, everyone knows we need to improve at 2C, but you can't force someone to trade you one. Then when a move does get made, everyone will b!tch and say we overpaid. The only UFA centers worthwhile were Duchenne, who signed for less to play in Nashville, and perhaps Kevin Hayes, who no one wanted for $7m a year.
Wish we could have traded for Soderberg and Haula though, that would have made us a contender.

At this point it's the right thing to do, because the dingleberry in chief hasn't taken care of business in the past 18 months
- jcragcrumple

To bad it has been longer than that, and that dingleberry had to make up for the stupid hemorrhoid before him

Once again people, I present you with this gem:

Andy Dalton

Born: 1987

Could have theoretically won the Super Bowl when he was 16 because:

"Elite Defense"

Oh yes, the thing you acknowledged I knew 6 months before you accepted it. The forwards were inadequate

Peyton had points defense ranks of 7, 2, 1, 7, 8, and went a combined 2-5 in the playoffs those years, both wins coming the year they lost to the Saints. The year he won in Indy he had the 23rd ranked points defense. And they had the 2nd ranked points offense. I'd imagine he profusely thanks Rex Grossman.

โ€œIn fact, Manning has the postseason stats. He ranks second in playoff history in passing yards (7,198), completions (636), and attempts (1,004) while ranking fourth in passing touchdowns (40). When it comes to passer rating, Manning's mark of 88.1 ranks as the 15th-best in postseason history, (ahead of Tom Brady, who has a career rating of 88.0 in the playoffs) and eight of the players ahead of him are still active (meaning it could change). His completion percentage of 63.4% ranks 27th, while his average of 276.8 yards per game is 14th. In addition, Manning has nine playoff games with 300+ passing yards (and three with 400+ yards), the second-most of all-time.

But yea itโ€™s Manningโ€™s fault Mike Vanderjagt blew two games in which the Colts should of went all the way and Rahim Moore let Jacoby Jones get by him for a 70 yard hail marry touchdown.

Brady had Belicheck, Vinateri, and God on his side

Does the headline of the article in the red circle make any actual sense within the context of the English language? I'm trying to understand what the actual hell it means.

"First woman to stay in space for the longest timespan"

Okay and anyone could theoretically be the first person to teleport for the longest "timespan" honestly what the hell is this? What on God's green Earth does it even mean? She is the first woman to be in space a few minutes longer than the last woman?

Isn't the first person to do anything the first person to do something if it hasn't been done? What kind of fvckery is this?

Yep
How could Botts have screwed up on missing a guy in as much demand as Soderberg?!

The horror

Stylistic comparison between average QBโ€™s. Brad Johnson or Trent Dilfer would have won that super bowl with that defence.

If we could have gotten Soderberg and Haula though we would be right there with the top teams.

Yeah, who needs a 45-50 point center when we have Casey Mittelstadt putting up 1 point and a -4 in Rochester? Botterill would have been crazy to address that position
