I'm curious what you hate about it.

I'm in the corner that says the less of other people's business we mind overall, the better off we are as a society. I realize that's not completely possible, but I would rather err to that side than the other. Obviously, when it comes to medical issues such as vaccines and disclosure of other medical issues, there's a gray area but I believe that there is inherent risk in any activity we undertake and it's up to each and every one of us to assess how much we are willing to live with, and live with the rewards and/or consequences of it. Now, on the flip side, business owners/institutions also have the right to make this decision as well, which I also do respect. However, that doesn't mean I have to applaud it either.

“The Chiefs were held to just 24:01 of possession last night.

They now hold a 2-6 record in games when have less than 25 minutes of possession compared to a 37-3 record when they have 25+ minutes of possession when Patrick Mahomes starts.”

Hey homie and other techies -

I am not buying the cable package this year to watch the Sabres play. 40$ a month for a team that will smell worse that the poophouse door on a tuna boat.

But I was thinking of getting a fire stick to watch the games for free.

Can I do this in Canada? Does it need to be hacked? I thought for $50 I could indulge the suffering and still withhold my $$$ from the pegulas.

I can give you a handful of websites to watch for free.

Of course, not the brains behind the plan ☝️

I'm guessing it was for financial reasons. I know it's the Pegulas so it will probably be met with some negativity, but why pay two extra guys to be on the air for one hour four days a week when you can just have gameday guys do it? My question is what do they do on Sabres travel days? Do they pre-record the show?

Sabres have added a Russian scout by the name of Ruslan Pechonkin, formerly of ISS (International Scouting Service). Two months after drafting four Russians. They're horny for more Russians.

You don't draft Russians, Russians draft you.

Peters and Rivet left the Instigators. Their contract was up after this past Friday and they decided to leave the show. Duffer and Biron will now take over.

Sounds like Rivet and Peters may be working on something else. Apparently they were disappointed with the time shift and hour cut to their program. I didn't listen today or Friday so I'm not sure what if anything was mentioned.

Essentially summed up the article by Vogl, here.

No bait. Just trying to figure out if he even knows the meaning of the word. When people use words that they don't even know, they need to be corrected.
