My grades for Adams et all:
Staal A+ - complete shocker #1
Hall A+ - complete shocker #2
Reinhart B - good deal for Sabres, would have been higher based on Strome's deal at $700k less
Olofsson B/B+ - good deal for both
Ullmark B - good deal, 2 yr term would have improved the rating
Thompson C - over paid, but ,at be Strategic in terms of a bit expensive to claim if they send him down
Eakin C- fills immediate 3rd C need, maybe be 4th in '21 - -22
Girgensons D- - discussed enough
Reider C+ - 13th F, but should help on PK
Tokarski B - good depth, strategic for expansion draft


Overall pretty decent on moves made to date. Would improve if he could find a trade of RhD for a decent Goalie

Let's hope that Joe can get the country on track.
- Resolve Covid
- Improve the lives of for minorities, poor and underprivileged
- stop racism, social unrest, etc
- restore the economy to pre Covid conditions

Lots to get done

I knew I could count on you Ion S. 👍

You're lack of football knowledge is comical. If you don't think 24 points (28 if Davis makes the catch at the end) with almost 200 yards rushing in that weather last week wasn't impressive, I don't know what to tell you.

I'll hang up waiting for your response to (a) our offense compared to stats from the Cleveland/LV game last week and (b) how Dahlin sucks

As long as Josh continues to minimize the turnovers he has proven that he’s good enough to go the distance.

If the Bills can build on last week and continue to run the ball with effectiveness that keeps Wilson on the side line.

Defence needs to continue to improve over the course of the season and this week is a good test for that unit.

That’s the out of town scouting report from myself with no Bills bias

Yeah, I thought they did what they needed to do. Seattle's defense is allowing over 340yrds a game passing the ball. As long as the Oline can give Allen time he should be able to light them up, especially if Brown plays. This will come down to who's defense can make a few stops and create a turnover or 2.

I agree.

I’ve thought about it all for a while and I came to the conclusion that most of you are what we used to call fags.

Or stat dweebs. These kids are confused about the real value of life, which cannot be reduced to numeric values.

Some of you are buttholes. There’s always buttholes.

A couple of you are OK. But not the ones who think they are.

There was a guy named Cabin - all of you could learn so much from him. None of you will be humble enough to know it, or even think it over.
In any case - Adios.
- Der Kaiser

I hope you reconsider, I've always appreciated your contribution around here. And if I've been a butthole, I hope I didn't make the list.

Let's hope that Joe can get the country on track.
- responsibly deal with Covid
- create jobs / save small businesses
- have everyone pay their fair share
- save social security/medicare

In your letter, you said you could replace me...

Well here's a opinion, we can be happy or upset with who is the President. But unless Democrats and Republicans can come together in some ways instead of constantly trying to bend each other over, it really doesn't matter who wins the Presidency.

It won’t matter because Reps and Dems coming together will never happen.

Unfortunately you are probably right Guy, but with everything going on with the country, I hope eyes start to open after the Election. They really need to take the shades off, the American people need them.

That’s gonna be pretty hard to accomplish when trump has many of his followers believing BASELESS allegations of a “rigged election”

His ridiculous behavior is just leading to ppl digging in their heals even deeper

So you’re saying there actually is some common ground between the Trumpers and the Hillarians?
Maybe there is some hope for us, after all.

I don't understand how, as reported, that in Philly,a Court authorized Election Vote Watchers to have access to the closed door count facility, yet the Election officials refused and the Sheriff's refused to enforce. Why is that?

Debunked bullpoop.

Two other motions had been filed over access for poll watchers.

In one, Kerns insisted that Trump campaign operatives who had obtained poll watcher certificates under the city’s process have been ejected from upwards of “thirty” of the city’s 700+ polling places. The attorney did not immediately have a list of locations where poll watchers had been barred access, however. After discussions with the city, this claim was withdrawn.

A separate motion brought by the Trump campaign sought greater access to the city’s main ballot counting area inside the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

Poll watchers are allowed inside the space, and the City Commissioners, who administer Philly elections, are broadcasting a livestream of the counting area. But the campaign insists that individual ballots are hard to see from an observation area, and that changes to the set-up are needed.


The city responded by arguing that the election code doesn’t provide for greater levels of access for political campaigns. Kerns, the Trump lawyer, then asked the court to withdraw the petition without prejudice — meaning that the same complaint could be refiled at a later time.

So far, the Biden campaign has largely concurred with the city’s defenses against the claims. Attorneys for both camps did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

B). I have never once said dahlin sucks.


Allen hasn’t been good since the raiders games. Don’t give me the fluff. “Well if this dude made a catch”. Blah blah blah

Allen has struggled since teams have played 10-15 yard back zone defenses. I said this before any single media person mentioned it.

Patriots - okay unfair due to wind.
Jets game- he couldn’t finish and score a td to save his life that game. Fitzmagic torched the very same defense.
Chiefs game - he sucked and flopped We got toasted.
Titans game - complete train wreck.

There are BOTH Rep & Dem “poll watchers” everywhere votes are being counted at all times

It’s much ado about nothing
Whether they stay 20feet away watching, or are 6feet away watching, the votes aren’t changing

They are what they are

That said....
if u wanna wait till this all plays out through the courts, that’s your prerogative
But court filings he’s made are already being dismissed, so it’s not looking good for him

It’s pretty obvious he’s just throwing sh!t at the wall & hoping something sticks....
just hoping that the mere appearance of possible impropriety will actually help him somehow

I personally don't really care anymore, as Biden apparently has the votes, so I have turned the page.
That said, I would like to see the courts decide the merit of these claims...if nothing happened it should be a wide open book and nobody should have an issue with a "look -see".

That report does include information that collaborates the claim, after delayed access to the building, the Watchers were kept 75 to 100 feet away...hard to watch the details from that distance, but whatever...too late now.
