Re: MLB 2014-2015 Offseason Thread
why blow it up.... and yet sign Nick Markakis? i don't get the Braves. then again, i've never liked 'em so i'm good with it. (having said that...i don't get this from Houston's POV either, unless there's some companion move yet to be played out. why seemingly jump the gun ... on someone like Gattis?)

Re: THE 2014-2015 NHL Regular Season Thread
apologies if this has been discussed already - i would say to have no illusions that the Sabres are so far and away the worst team in the NHL and that it's not even close... during their disappointing* "hot streak" in December (going by flawed memory here) they were something like 10-3 and...

Re: Eusebio
as a kid the first time i heard of him was when the (MISL) Buffalo Stallions signed him. we had season tickets and the word was "he's a soccer legend!" - he played 5 games, pulled a hammie, and retired. And pitifully that's all i knew about him for like 10 years.

i actually found it smoother than the regular Talisker and certainly more than the 57 North which we now have. (Smoother doesn't always mean better to me but it's a good whisky). the 57 North is really peppery and smoky - not a first-timer whisky - add a drop of water to the glass and it's perfect. ...
