Yeah, but especially if Bishop and Rapp continue to show they are prone to injury. But for the Bills' sake, not a good scenario, of course.

True story this chick I was talking to is a huge bills fan. She was saying ***** like Cook has a bad attitude and hes a baby, we should trade him, he should shut up etc.. I gave her a good LMAO as a response. She didn't like that and went off on FB about "men" laughing at her blah blah which didn't really make sense given the actual conversation. Then I was unfriended. Cook seems to really get people emotional.

You know what will fix this? Tariffs on bananas!

Just like that? Tell Putin that if he doesn't back down the US will enter the war? And just go back to your place in the world order where we are empowered to dictate to you what you can and cannot do? And you obey. That tough guy approach might work with the administration at Harvard but its quite likely it won't against Russia. Or China that is waiting on-deck to take Taiwan at a moment the US is occupied elsewhere.

Hope Hank is right. Cannot see the facts thru the smoke!

I get the sentiment. However, I doubt Chief Isku Kua is going to be asking for your Van Heusen Jersey and Dockers anytime soon. It's not just about being a good enough guy not to say something. It's about not needing the next job to make a living. There is a reason its called f you money.

Brilliant rebuttal.

Would be interested in seeing that. In the headphones today - one of my favorite pieces of all time.

I’m all for some comic relief on this board with the heightened sensitivity shown when someone offers up some objectivity on the negative side of a draft choice or FA acquisition. Since your cynical approach to accepting what is the collective opinion of scouts that do this stuff for a living, is belittling the messenger, what are you willing to do if Hairston is a liability? With your history of taking yourself really seriously, I’m sure you’ll just go into denial mode.

BALDING? Fuggetaboutit. You’re finished.

Ya, ok

He's keeping the war going so he can stay in power. You're welcome.

Putin is hopelessly caught in the "sunk cost fallacy. The only reasonable way out for his country is getting rid of him.

GMF team checks in

Let him enjoy his Ayahuasca ceremonies and time with his family. He was a great member of the team, but his days on the field are done.

Yes it will. You said you have to understand what the other guy wants, well Putin wants to win and thinks he can. Make it clear that he can't and won't win.

let us not forget Perry Tuttle... just sayin... lol

How about the stretch TD on 4th against KC?

Wouldn't be shocked if, at some point, he was added to the Practice Squad.

Not sure if posted yet, but contract details are out at overthecap. My estimate was a 4 year extension at $10.5M AAV with effective guarantees into the second added year. I thought up to about $25M would be the limit. I also said that a high salary in year 4 could be used to inflate the total. Cook got a 4 year extension at $12M AAV. The effective guarantees are $30M. That’s a win for his side. But the AAV of the added seasons through those guaranteed years is only $9.85M AAV. That's counting this season at the $5.6M he was already due. That’s a win for Beane and the Bills IMO. Seems like Cook took security over possible earnings. It was a reasonable trade off IMO. So I think this deal is in line with my estimations. My preference would have been less guaranteed money, but I don’t have any major complaints. Especially since he took a little less money to get that.

As Russia will never accept those terms without previously stated security guarantees a war of attrition goes on where the math favors Russia absent any direct intervention by Europe or America. My dad used to lead lots of negotiations. Labor agreements, contracts, that kind of stuff. He said you need to do at least three things going in. 1) understand what you want out of the final deal and more importantly what the other guy wants. 2) defend your vested interests but be willing to concede points that you find non-critical or unimportant that the other side finds essential to the agreement 3) don't expect the other guy to agree to demands you make that you're in no position to make. You did #3. Russia leaves. Ukraine continues to lose soldiers and territory over time as the Russians slowly grind forward and the longer they wait the more territory they stand to lose. More weapons won't reverse this trend. @sherpa already explained this above no deal scenario.

Remember AJZepp? He used to post on TBD, his friend Lana posted often too. AJ was big into playing classical music on hifi audiophile equipment. He knew his music. He emailed me a long list of his classical recommendations. I need to find it.

You like Hairston even though he comes with the shortcomings I detailed from the professional scouting operations, God bless you. If you haven’t paying attention, Beane’s history of drafting and FA acquisitions in the secondary has been spotty to bad as exemplified by what we have back there now.

Oh really? Like what? More TACO chump talk. I do like how Trump did not blink on the nuclear blackmail nonsense and rattled his sabre right back by saying nuclear subs were moved closer to Russia. I remember all the MAGA people saying Biden was starting WWIII, blah balh. Smart thing to do would be to arm Ukraine even more. Give them more weapons, supplies and economic aid. Let's stand with our friend and show them we will defend a fellow republic. Let that be our severe consequences. Really, force is the only thing Putin respects, not TACO talk Ya, why is Zelensky keeping this war going??
