Michael Pachla: Highlights and notes from a busy weekend for Western New York sports fans
- Michael Pachla

Welcome to 2018!

I gotta say, seeing Kyle Williams celebrate with his kids in the locker room was pretty special.

Great that he got to share that moment with them.

Welcome to 2018!

wow...you're back

Awesome weekend. The only touch of grey in this silver lining is that Mittelstadt won't be in the Olympics. Hard to see how he wouldn't make that team better.

Hoping we use our picks to move up for a QB the 49ers have their franchise quarterback it looks Like the Giants are going to keep Eli so I don’t think they’re going to draft a quarterback with their top pick maybe in the second round


Browns are taking Josh Allen first overall so It should be a very interesting draft

is the college season still going on at that time? if so i could see Minnesota not wanting to loan him out AGAIN for the olympics.. plus thats a longer timeframe and there is going to be the jet leg to deal with when he gets back.

I like that

I might have to pay someone to put down $200 or more for me this is like an easy bet

Yeah, i think the season goes til march.


If he were chosen, he could basically say kick rocks to Minnesota. Would they really kick an olympian out of school for going to the Olympics?

eli is old, they need to draft his successor...no better time than now

Now we have to watch Will Borgen and have in the back of our minds is he going to test free agency lol

- jcragcrumple

i bet he could, but i thought i read he was a pretty loyal guy.. he may have talked to Minnesota coaching and they asked him not to go so he said ok.. remember he went back to play highschool hockey instead of sticking in the USHL last year

- Michael Pachla

That is true but if you’re bringing back Eli I don’t see them wasting a high pick on a quarterback when they need help imo

I definitely could see them drafting one in the second though

I like vea...question is, will he drop down to them (probably not)

I for one, won't

i assume that has to be one of GMJBs conversations he is having. trying to get him locked up.. we can't afford to be losing d prospects for nothign

I might have to pay someone to put down $200 or more for me this is like an easy bet
- GERBE!!!75PTS

I can piss away $20 going from point A to point B, stopping to get a round of shots on the way


$20 for a chance to get 2,000 was an easy bet for me to make

- Michael Pachla

I see him going before our first pick in the first rd
