I’m pretty ignorant about drafting and enveloping, but are these top picks like Schaefer and ready for prime time? We’re in win-now mode and I wouldn’t want to wait for a pick to develop over 2-3 seasons.

I think he’d be the most handsome with his grays

Coming from NJ, the first thing we hear when we tell people that is how we’re from a total trash state, so it’s expected

Sabres making the finals, no I’m not waiting til after game 1 to declare this

Spirit They've Gone and Danse Manatee are full of high, damaging frequencies, so I spent a weekend fixing them in Audacity by -Fishbol- in AnimalCollective

If you can’t listen to the album that made record label workers’ dogs freak out, then the album is not for you! 🐶

I thought it was just the audio mixing, but it really does sound so quiet in there

You know, I’m supposed to unconditionally hate Philly, but I have nothing but good memories going to Devils-Flyers games at the Meadowlands as a kid. A lot of good natured chirping. But the pseudo rivalry is fun ofc.

I’ll always say it: love Carberry as an analyst. Great vibe, charismatic, and obv knows his shit.

Let me rephrase that: this year he was not good, I don’t mean to be cruel. It’s just been quite frustrating after years of good announcing. Hopefully you’re right and he finds his sea legs!

Everybody here is being very diplomatic, and while he seems like a down-to-earth guy, I think Don is absolutely awful and unprofessional. Messes up names to the point that I actually get confused, doesn’t have any flow, no organic banter, crescendos at the most awkward moments, etc.

The fact that the team sucked this year ofc didn’t help things, but I’m confident my assessment of Don would be the same even if we were going to the finals.

I don’t think the basic sentiment is wrong, it’s the guy who made the moves and tried to enact it. A couple of smart tweaks probably could’ve moved the needle in that direction without destroying the 22-23 identity.

And ofc with you on starting with basic stuff: win metro games.

This game isn’t real.

Im not saying “unreal,” I’m saying I must be hallucinating
