You’re NOT going to be able to do all of these.

But you can be conscious of what you can easily live without, aware of who is supporting the things you dont like, and save some money.

Let me bottom line this for you homeslice:

The US has a population of 342M, with good infrastructure & logistics. It’s profitable & efficient to sell to America.

But if America is being a dick & the rest of the world wants to take their ball & go home, there are 7.8B potential customers elsewhere.
President Trump warned the United Kingdom against getting into business with China, saying it would be "very dangerous." He also said it is, "even more dangerous" for Canada.

Alex Tuch after Sabres win: "We’re trying to prove as a team that we’re legit. We’re not just gonna go for the playoffs, we’re gonna go for the Cup, and that’s our goal: get better each and every day. That's it. That's the end goal. We're not in here just to squeak in."

“Fucking bitch” maybe not quite as appealing a slogan than “open for business?”
American paramilitary units are on the cover of international newsmagazines.

But please, come visit and invest.

We’re “open for business.”

Five games left until the Olympic break.

With Luukkonen out, I’d be giving Lyon the net in four of those five, the three home games and one of the back-to-backs in Florida.

Colin Campbell healthy-scratched him during the Calder Cup semi-finals against the Amerks, who beat Binghampton, went on to get smoked by Bill MacDougall & Cape Breton in the Final.

I died a little bit during that Final. Don Steven’s moved to cable TV for the final,Paul Hamilton called it on radio.

Lindy Ruff said Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen will probably miss about a week and the Sabres will evaluate him from there. To be determined how this will impact his availability for the Olympics.

The Amerks lost 3-1 at home to Hershey last night.

Most of their top forwards are up with Buffalo, though Wahlberg had a nice snipe, most of their defensemen are hurt, and Levi wasn’t great.

“Looking forward” is a vague concept when I don’t see a high in the 30s anywhere in the long-range forecast.
You know the weather is awful when you are seriously looking forward to it being 30 degrees.

From former FIFA presidents to European lawmakers, there is a growing call to boycott the 2026 World Cup. But boycotts demand backbone, moral clarity, and a willingness to absorb real costs.

European leaders possess none of the three.

“Where in the modern era, players snack on orange slices at halftime; during the sport’s formative era, the players had waffles. And thus,’gridiron’ entered the sport’s lexicon.”
Let's get rid of Buck & Joe & Tom and get npr to broadcast the games. Now that'd be worth a tote bag!
"It's called a field goal because its a goal you score from the field. And you kick a 'pigskin' because there was a shortage of lamb's heads in the Napoleonic Wars."

"Football" is a word used to refer to different games: American football, the game played at the Super Bowl, where a foot is rarely used to direct the ball. And elsewhere in the world, football refers to what Americans call "soccer." But where does this word really come from? n.pr/4qJhroy
