Pathetic money grab attempt - there will be many empty seats
Bands need to know when to hang it up

The East standings are absolutely insane - it's still early in the season but I've never seen things so packed
The Metro is only 6pts from last to first, the Atlantic is only 7pts from last to first

Either NJ or Carolina (probably Carolina bc of NJ injuries) will end up running away with Metro but Atlantic is wide open

And as usual the top two best teams in the entire league are in the Central division. Any other year, the Avs early run would put them 10pts clear but nope Dallas is also playing amazing and only 4pts behind.

Drafting him was questionable but they were in a hole after 2024. Not trying to trade him last year while still an unknown was the true frickup


Sunken cost fallacy by GM/ownership

Had to prove they made the right decision

How is Chicago 7-3 as an objectively bad team? Their schedule is Charmin soft and they play lots of close games - did the new coach make that much difference?
My dog could have made that 2pt throw

:lol:
The Bucs are a good team but it sure doesn't seem that Buffalo has enough around Josh Allen to make a run this year

Anyone who suggests John Gruden stopped watching football in 2003
The guy was always massively overrated and can't coach in the modern game, let alone college

Guys are looking good - still need more secondary scoring but can’t remember the last time we outplayed Liverpool this badly

Avalanche go into Edmonton and win 9-1
4 players with 2 goals and a disallowed Landeskog goal
:lol:
Absolutely frick these refs
We were in it with everything to play for and they completely fricked it up in less than a minute

Losers
That was not a complete pass

That they didn’t even review us BS

28-3 is better because it was for all the marbles. The Bills game ultimately didn't even matter.

And the best come from behind soccer match is Liverpool-AC Milan in the CL final in Istanbul in 2005.


As a Man City fan - agree on both counts

28-3 is the answer because of the stage

wife and I had dinner at zasu tonight. If indeed the ratings are based solely on food, the star here is more than deserved

we had the octopus and tuna crudo apps, the Bibb lettuce and pear salad, the lentil pirogies and the trout special, pistachio cheesecake for dessert. All of it was delicious and exceptionally well executed. Service was rather impersonal (probably just that particular server) but I would not call it polished in any case. The dining room is really small and thus really loud, and it was freezing cold. 10/10 on the food, less so on atmosphere.

sue z is a superstar (was at gautreau’s for a long time) and I’m really happy for them


This is almost exactly how I felt going there my one time about 6mo ago
Food - smaller menu, incredibly well done, service was meh
Happy for them, but a bit head scratching

Ducks looking good good
No reason why they can't get one of the three Pacific spots that division is weak
To squander 2 "generational" talent No 1 draft picks within a 10 year stretch is impressive

Although, a lot of that was bad luck, but still - look at what San Antonio and OKC did with their high picks ...
Even if this happened, people would consider less than 3 NCs out of those 4 years a failure

don't think the OP is asking which metro/city has the best teams.

I think he's asking which city is the worst, that happens to have teams in all 3 leagues.

I believe I'd go with Minneapolis.


Well if so, answer still applies - Cleveland :lol:
