White people….

Toothpick

The guy is a great writer and storyteller. Pick a random topic (maybe anything other than sci-fi) and I’ll. Bet I can link a great song. Go.

Cheers....nice work! It's tough raising kids these days. A lot of outside influence in ways that didn't exist when we were kids Well we know how that turned out. 😉

I'd put it more like this........players excelling on the field despite modest workout numbers is what proves that the testing doesn't promise results. However, it provides a foundation. The future performance can't be accurately predicted but if you pick a guy who runs sub 4.4 there is a greater chance that he will play fast than a guy who runs 4.6. The way it's framed in media sometimes that doesn't seem to be the case........because when a guy like Christian Benford excels with a 4.53 40 time they don't mention that he's one of hundreds of CB draft hopefuls in the last 5 years to run a 4.5 or slower.........they point to the much smaller group in faster sub-sections and compare his play to those players. Then it's something like "hey, only 3 of the 10 guys that ran under 4.4 in that draft class are good NFL CB's and Benford is as good or better than them........must be track speed doesn't matter".

Your dad was a pastor AND a cop …whoa!

Beane's drafted four running backs in the top three rounds since 2018. So it's half of his drafts so far. It's the best way to get value out of a RB as you're likely drafting a first/second round talent a full round later who will usually be more NFL ready than any other position. He's already in his prime years physically and will shortly fall off a cliff after his first contract. Go get your Cook replacement in the 2nd or 3rd round next year and hopefully get a comp pick for him. Use the draft pick the same way as Cook and four years later wash, lither repeat. I do agree that Beane should take more shots in both trading for possible #1 WR's and making it more of a priority each draft.

So just to go full circle, the Bills have recently overpaid for wide receivers in free agency who have not yet panned out but they can't reach an agreement with James Cook who was a huge part of the offense and a homegrown guy who had 18 TD last year including runs of 65, 49, 46, and 41 yards. I appreciate that a well-run team has to exercise contract discipline but if they're gonna overpay, who best to overpay? Also, what is the projected return on investment for any given contract?

I’d like to think my 3 kids turned out OK.

Kids of police officers and pastors are usually the worst in my experience. They end up rebeling

Not impressed. Some good restaurants. Otherwise pretty bland. Would stay at Kiawah next time instead.

It’s too early to analyze….lets just keep them In our thoughts and prayers They are the worst!

Exactly what it was in my town.

Probably going to find out it was a relative of a law enforcement official. I know it could be anyone but it would be a hell of a lot easier for a close relative to acquire a police uniform and patrol vehicle if those reports are true.

Every event looks exactly the same. Atlanta, Jacksonville, Asheville etc etc Boomer whites and unattractive millennials.

The "tolerant Left" hates Jews and anyone that goes against their agenda

Reagan shirt. It was lost in the sea of signs about fascists and whatnot. What do you imagine a man of Reagan’s stature would think of Donald Trump?

I believe they want to try a splenectomy first to see if that works.

I am not going to dig into all of those. But teams usually overpay in free agency - especially at the very start. I do remember being shocked that OBJ got $15M from the Ravens for one season. His one year $3M from Miami is much more in line with what he’s worth now. I am going to lump the Bills’ signings of Palmer, Samuel and Harty together. I’m on record saying they were all overpays - though with Samuel it was more injury risk than ability. OTOH I think the Elijah Moore contract is a very good deal. The timing of those deals should be noted. The first three were done at the very beginning of free agency. Moore’s was after the market had settled. I think the Bills have been willing to overpay to make sure they fill the roles they want for their offense. They really don’t want to take any chances on taking a step back. They are one of the highest cash spending teams so that mitigates the issues overspending would typically bring. But they aren’t maximizing the use of their spending though.
