  1. Looks like Pettersson is an analytics "sweetheart".  I guess that explains why Benning took him at #5.  Let's hope it works better for him than it did for Florida last year.

      The main plus I like is that -on team full of young shooters we need a distributer. He MAY be that play making centre we need.Can't wait to see him in camp.

      He passes the eye test too.

  2. I think many more wanted Glass, including me.
  3. Cliff Pu is still a better name than Nick Suzuki!!!
  4. Had anybody here had an automatic buy-in of $400 set for when Ethereum quickly dropped to 10 cents, they'd be a millionaire right now. http://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/22/ethereum-price-crash-10-cents-gdax-exchange-after-multimillion-dollar-trade.html
  5. Farmer dies after drunken fight with pig

    People are stupid and this particular person paid for his own brand of stupidity with his life.

    A 60-year-old man has died after a drunken fight with a pig which saw his genitals mutilated and three of his fingers severed.

    Farmer Miguel Anaya Pablo was rushed to hospital in Tuxtepec, Mexico, after suffering the horrific injuries, but medics were unable to save his life.

    It is not known why he got into the fight with the animal.

      I suspect he didn't buy the pig dinner.

      Daily Mail = National Enquirer. I don't know what the actual percentage of their "news" is pure fabrication, but it is high.

      I found it on a few more sites also.  I just happened to post the Daily Mail link.

  6. People keep throwing money at Chris Roberts for not finishing it. They're at almost $152Million. He's making quite a good living by dragging development out. They're even years late on the Squadron 42 single player release.
  7. The worst thing that console players can do is pay it. These companies will feel emboldened to charge higher prices for every game released thereafter. Also, your sales tax is %15?! Wow!
  8. The PenFed blimp at the PGA U.S. Open crashed after supposedly catching fire.  The pilot parachuted safely out.

      The Hindenburg crash was a smidge more dramatic.

      The Hindenburg seems an apt metaphor for the current state of pro golf. Especially if piloted by a tiger.

  9. I got a small package of the new fireworks Oreo cookies the other day and I was very disappointed in them.  Barely any popping in most of the cookies.

  10. Be on your toes with your investment UASF is a double edged sword right now.
  11. You can't even log onto Coinbase right now. It's getting hammered because everybody is trying to sell off their coins.
  12. Just had the same 3 drunk chicks who sang the US & Canadian national anthems to me drunk several years ago in the middle of the street call and sing them both to me drunk again tonight over the phone. :lol:

     

    They got every word correct in both songs this time again as well!!!  Though the drunkest of the three added sound effects this time around.

      For what?  Drunk chick phone sex?  lol

       

      I'm friends with the one chick and the other 2 probably thought it would be funny to drunk dial me at 2:30am and give me a singing encore years after the first.... lol

       

      It still floors me that even hammered, they can manage to get every word correct in both anthems.

      @smithers joe Fortunately I never hallucinated drunk... lol  I just puked.  Those days though are long ago behind me.

  13. Now that the series is over, the Sabres can hire Phil Housley as head coach...

      The Bills took both a coach and GM from Carolina, so they might end up doing the same with Botterill and Tocchet from Pittsburgh.  Housley played for the Sabres his first 8 years in the NHL and their current defence needs help bad so I'm hoping those 2 things will give Housley a leg up.

      I hope it's Housley. Risto is a fantastic defenseman, but can you imagine how good he could be under Phil's teaching?

      Shortly after I posted in the original post about Housley it hit me that Tocchet was also now on the market for another HC gig.  And with Botterill as the GM, Tocchet may actually have a leg up on Housley unfortunately.

       

      Tocchet has also said that he wants to HC again and with the Sabres job the only opening in the league, he doesn't have any other options available to him.

  14. The Buffalo Sabres GM just got another Stanley Cup ring!  Will it be his last?  Hope not!

      Jack Eichel got a ring?

  15. Don't forget about the summer sale going on at GOG.com For the very few of you that don't know, gog sells games from the dawn of computer gaming all the way up to some of today's games. They're very inexpensive and they are all DRM free.
  16. Trump wants to keep the empire going, so I'd be surprised to see him recall large numbers of troops in Europe. He's just looking for the other NATO nations to start pulling their own weight. It's one of the few things that I agree with Trump on.
  17. It has less to do with power balance than it does with the US saying, "start covering your own arses from now on." Canada is also responding to Europe. If the Europeans start to build up their military, Canada doesn't want to be left behind and fall further down in reputation and military power amongst and in comparison to its NATO allies. If Trump gets impeached then removed from office or resigns in the next 9-12 months and Pence reverses course and brings the US back into the forefront of protecting the alliance, then there's a fair chance that the now fired up NATO nations fall back into old habits and continue to neglect their militaries.
  18. You're preaching to the choir when it comes to the stupidity that was Iraq War. That was all about greed as well as George Bush's religious beliefs. An incredible waste of lives and resources.
  19. If McGregor gets 10's of millions from a fight with Mayweather, we may never see him in the octagon again. My guess is that he'll most likely retire, unless he upsets Mayweather, then he would most likely just switch to boxing for a few more big paydays before retiring. I'm still skeptical of the Mayweather fight ever happening though. The longer Mayweather drags this processs out, the less people will be hyped to eventually watch it.
