So you subscribe to in theory My body, my choice.
But practically, you reject it for others.

Put yourself in Jack's place, how would you feel...hey, so this will be the first of likely 3 maybe 4 of these fusion surgeries in your lifetime Mr Boss34...each one fusing more vertebra together, and with each succeeding surgery you will lose more flexibility permanently.

Ya, didn't think so.
He is human too, not just a $10m / year contract.

C'mon man.

It's a business, pretending I do not care about his health is ridiculous.

Also pretending the 50 million is the only issue, is ridiculous.

He has value as a human and as an asset to this franchise.

New surgery risks that asset. šŸ™„

He literally signed a contract allowing the team to dictate medical situations. All players have that in their contract itā€™s how sports works.
There is no ā€œmy body my choice hereā€

I'm sure there's a lot going on behind the scenes. Jack's camp got defensive with their press release and the appearance of their doctor, who does "minimally invasive" surgery furthered that notion.

I am Chief of Neurosurgery in Denver Colorado at the Rocky Mountain Spine Clinic. My focus is minimally invasive spine surgery, sports medicine and integrative health. I grew up in Wilton Ct. I went to Harvard Univ. and studied Biophysics. I then attended at Columbia Medical School and did my neurosurgery training at the Univ. of Miami. I stayed at the U to finish two fellowships: spine and skull base surgery. I perform approximately 400 spine surgeries per year and am the neurosurgical consultant for the Denver Broncos.

Defensively he was on the of the best shutdown forwards. I didnā€™t say his entire game was dominant.
- nyrangers2


Congrats. The Sabres need a 2nd overall defensive winger.

Pass on that garbage.

And Iā€™m not disputing any of the above, but wishing a horrible death on him is well beyond simply calling a spade a spade, Thatā€™s all.

Sell the team then.

Western New Yorkers and Canadians from Southern Ontario who support the Bills that are die hard fans that love and support their sports teams, who donate to player charities because they are kind hearted people, donā€™t deserve to be taken advantage because of the sole reason that they are the type of people whom would pay for the stadium in full for Terry the cuck to pay for his yacht.

This is a man who doubled his net worth. Laid hundreds of people of work who can hardly support their families during a pandemic, now wants money to fund a stadium or move the team to another city that will ?

Golisano would have made an extra $70M to sell the Sabres to a man who would have moved him out of Buffalo. Thatā€™s a true hero.

Terry is the definition of a cuck, and Iā€™m not even a Bills fan. I call a spade a spade though

- Pegullaville



1st of all , you're horrible wishing disease on anyone.

2nd a hero isnt a sports team owner.

A hero is a police officer, for example:

The officers who protected our freedoms from insurrectionists. Protected us (USA) citizens anyways.


Shame on you flacco

Why are we going from zero to sixty here already?

This is called negotiating.

I'd like to see the bruins work a pasternak for eichel swap in some shape or form. Probably have to throw in Debrusk as well to make room. but we'd get the second line center we need.

Agreed.

Not a good look for the Pegulas though. Although I think Bills fans should have seen where this was heading when Jerry Jones got involved

I think Bills fans would be fine going to the outdated Ralph for the next 50 years. Unfortunately the money-printing organization that is the NFL doesn't view that as a viable option

It doesn't surprise me though. They seem to have zero clue about optics.

Although, they're already calling out the report as being false:

"After publication of the story, a PSE spokesman, Jim Wilkinson, said the team is not seeking any funds for work at the Sabres' KeyBank Center. Wilkinson also said the figure of at least $1.1 billion being sought in public money for a new Bills' stadium was incorrect; he declined to say if the request by the team was higher or lower."

You can say the same thing about Sabres fans and Eichelā€™s trade value

Wasnā€™t talking about trading for him. Just stating that heā€™s definitely improved. Once he adds scoring like heā€™s done on every other level of hockey heā€™ll round out to a solid second line winger

No I got your point, Iā€™m just an arsehole who doesnā€™t care.

Life isnā€™t fair, great people suffer hardships every day.

An adulterer who uses as wealth as a negotiating tactic, especially one whom made his fortunate via dirty money, doesnā€™t get any sympathy from me

Not getting any sympathy from you = understood
Wishing horrible disease = not rational

It would be nice to retract your statement so you would be respected moving forward.
