Something tells me Buffalo isn't going to be used as an example of how tanking doesn't work much longer.

Can someone give me a legitimate reason not to bet a large amount of money on the under for browns wins next year. Vegas has set it at 5.5 and their schedule is not easy. What am I missing here?

Probably not unless it's underwritten within your policy that a 1 time tow is offered and if not available they reimburse you within a certain mileage range

I thought free tows was the whole point of AAA?

Really need the Flyers to win a round next year.
IM forcing myself to watch the Sixers because I know they are an exciting young team but its not the same as watching the Flyers for me.

You have to pay for AAA so is it really free or something you already pay for that you think is free?

This is also the fan base who wanted G suspended for two hits in the first round. They don't believe their team should take a hard hit. Any time it happens they want a suspension.

The Letang hit was after Crosby knocked G off balance and the Hagelin hit was just a pure open ice hit.

the difference between the wilson and giroux hit (aside from the obvious that one is renowned as a piece of poop and the other isnt) was that giroux really doesnt seem to lead with the shoulder or an elbow. he also doesnt seem to aim for the head. giroux just (frank)ing caught him body to body with hagelin skating full into him. huge open ice hit, but clean. said that from the start.

call it pens bias if you will , but wilson really seems to lead right into the head.

being upset about the "interference" on murray is kind of cheap. the issue is there is no set standard, and a lot less has been called back. conversely, a lot worse has been allowed. no one knows. you just have to take any interference call as a coin flip and move on. the no goal over the goal line, while ultimately irrelevant, is/was downright laughable. i wont say it cost them anything, but its comical how incorrect they can be at times.

I watch a lot of Phantoms games and I can’t say I agree. The size is certainly above average. Speed is great. I definitely think he stands out watching the Phantoms. His shot isn’t Ghost but he has a lot more to offer than AMac and Gudas offensively (who he will eventually replace)

Not disagreeing. I just wish he would utilize his advantages more than he does. I’m sure with more experience and development, he’ll continue to move up the ranks. Think my post was misinterpreted that I’m down on the guy. Not true.

Would be nice if Belinelli, Saric, or Ilyasova showed up. Anyone want to score besides Embiid?

Boston bench players and Horford playing out of their brain.

FULL SEND

Edit: For real, you now have me ready to put every cent I have on the under as well. How they're supposed to get 6 wins from that schedule I have no idea. Jets, Bucs, Brocos, Texans, Raiders, there's five games that could be competitive. But what might they actually win out of those? 4 absolute best case scenario? Then they have to beat the Bengals once and the Ravens once to get to 6 wins?

As much as I dislike the Pens, I get the frustration from Sunday's game. 3 big legit calls/non-calls seemed to go against the Pens. It adds up, and it starts to annoy. Put those same calls against the Flyers and everybody here would be complaining about one or all, no doubt. That being said, frustrated with the refs is the status quo every time the Flyers play a game against the Pens. The Letang trip/non-trip against Couts being the most timely example.

Still, lots of life left to the Pens/Caps series, and I'm looking forward to the combat.
