After his WGR days he did some announcing at high school games. I went to a St, Francis HS game years ago and Artie was the stadium announcer.

We all know Rice has already received absurdly beneficial procedural wins starting from the moment he exited that car last, from the passenger side, and successfully fled the scene. At no point has law enforcement treated him with the punitive urgency a working class or even poor citizen would have received. And as far as the NFL's separate investigative process is specifically concerned, I'm not hearing any noise about a history of prior behavioral red flags. I think at least one incident has come up since he joined the league and before the big public endangerment car crash thing. Total broom job upcoming: 4 games at most, but possibly appealed down to the 3, and that appeals process means Rice begins his suspension a week later, after week 5, and thus returns week 9 against Buffalo LMAO.

The other thing he was is a clunky scheme fit for a lot of schemes. I remember when I was doing the 2 round mock with @gonzo1105 there were a few edge needy teams in that late 2nd territory where Jackson just was not a fit. We found a team in the end in that range where it made sense..... the Buffalo Bills (I know they ended up taking him in the third but we didn't have trades).

In most the Super Bowl runs they made they had to come from behind once, if not multiple times and that’s something I don’t know that we have figured out in the postseason. We have trailed for a few minutes here or there and won, but for the most part when we have got behind we haven’t been able to come back (exception 13 seconds). To truly get it done we are likely looking at least one if not multiple late game comebacks which will also have to include late game stops. Pretty tall task from what we have seen so far. Baltimore basically avalanched us in the 2nd half. Perhaps Josh goes down and ends it if they convert the 2 pointer, but if he doesn’t that game is going the other way. The Chiefs aren’t the end of this. We will still need to close the deal in the Super Bowl. Which for a lot of teams, along with us being the most famous for, can be a bigger hurdle than anything that precedes it. NFC is getting stronger. Eagles were the best team in football last year. It’s a long road to eliminate our demons. What I want to see this regular season is Bishop stepping into a starter role. Max able to look like a first round pick towards the back half of the year. Possibly unseat Tre. Some pop for at least one of our interior DL rookies. A reasonably healthy season from Bosa, Bernard, and Milano. If these things happen I really think this defense could be positioned for a serious postseason run. Just a lot of ifs, especially when we have so much exposure with a few guys missing time like Benford or Bernard. It will be a fun year this year. I’m looking forward to it. But a lot needs to happen for us. I think if it’s going that way it will be apparent in the stats. The first iteration of this team was fielding #1 defenses at times in the regular season. Much more aggressive and disruptive dictating pace vs bend but don’t break. That’s what we need to see.

So from what I have seen so far it's c.$15m guaranteed at signing with a foregone conclusion option bonus in 2026 of about $7.5m at which time some of the 2027 money also guarantees. Feels like the Bills are tied in at least for this year and the first two of the four year deal. Sounds kinda fair. Josh breaking his hand week 1 last year forced them to back off running Josh inside the 5 so much (excpet for sneak type plays) and made them trust Cook. Finding out he is pretty reliable inside the 5 means they know now they don't need to use Josh as that battering.ram down there. In the long run that broken hand might have been a blessing.

Look at the title of this thread. No, I do not expect that, but clearly some people think he's going to be "the next monster in the NFL..."

I got nothing.

4 games for pleading to 2 felonies for what he did is ridiculous

One thing I’ve noticed about the Chiefs is that they’ve practically mastered the science of timing the drive possessions during a game and then turning it up a notch to score a last minute win. Even in the game against them in Buffalo, we were up by 2 and driving in the 4th. But they did just what they had to to force a 4th down. A normal team would have kicked a FG to go up by 5. Leaving the chiefs MORE than enough time to get the ball and score the winning TD. It was like the game script was playing out perfectly for them looking at each of the drives and scores prior to that point. Until…. The Bills went for it on 4th down and Josh Allen did Josh Allen things and won the game. To beat them, when it matters the most, McD is going to have to figure out how to flip that script.

Holy sh1t ! And people think are QB's have been bad over the years

It was definitely on Bussin' with the Boys which is 2 ex-NFL players

You are forgiven. This one time.

The devil is always in the details so we'll have to see, sure In this case, $30M guaranteed is an important number. Assuming he gets that in the first 2 years of the contract, Cook can look at it as he got is $15M a year, and the Bills can look at it as "we have the right to keep him for 4 years/$48M, making it $12M/yr. So both sides can say they got what they wanted.

Also showed up in my YouTube feed...

I was fortunate one time to go by the place at the perfect time and saw bunch's of them running by the fence. It was the only time but very cool

If Mrs. Trump brought the lawsuit, would require a lot of interviews and discovery about Epstien. Is that really what Team Trump wants? Interesting move.

Yup living 150 miles away I never heard of Arty until Empire came around, cracked me up. Mike Robatailles hockey Hotline was great on there

LOL apparently Chandler and I have the same YouTube preferences. I saw this today. It is longest TD runs at Highmark, thus home games from 1973 until now. So many interesting things in the background. Jim Donovan called two of those runs. He was a great play by play guy. RIP. The 1973 Simpson run recap was Pat Summerall. Bills started 4-1 and then he goes on to state they play Miami in the Orange Bowl to see if they are "for real". And of course they were not. They would go on to lose to Miami and finish in second place and out of the playoffs. Incredibly the Bills offense broke the record for most rushing yards in one season and of course OJ would go for 2003. But the passing offense produced only two 100 yard games all year. The next game he mentions, Bills only rushed for 75 yards and had net 1 yard passing. Absolutely mind blowing stats. Ferguson went 3 of 9 for 25 yards and gave up 20 yards on 3 sacks. Shaw also went 3 of 9 for 35 yards and gave up 6 sacks for 39 yards.

I actually like his takes most the time. They aren’t as tainted. I agree with game script impacting things. But as we know, it’s efficiency of each play. EPA, YPA, Doodle Day. Doesn’t really matter what A, it’s na nay.

Can't forget his favorite caller, Eastside Eddie.

😂😂Do yourself a favor and put that guy on ignore Bringing up the 2024 divisional as proof is hilarious. The chiefs were absolutely having their way w our defense. The ONLY reason they scored 27 and not 50 is because we managed to hold the ball for 37+ TOP and basically played the football version of a no hitter on offense It's probably one of the only ways to protect the defense tbh

And yet the Lions lost

It doesn't sound like that's going to happen. The last update from McDermott is that he's "unlikely" to make it back by the last Pre-Season game.

WHEW — GOOD THING TRUMP STEPPED IN TO RUN THE CITY, THEN! D.C. Mayor Heads to Martha’s Vineyard as Trump Takes Over City. Mayor Muriel Bowser’s office confirmed reports on Thursday that she left D.C. for Martha’s Vineyard. “The mayor has a family commitment and had to pick up her daughter. She will return to the District tomorrow,” her office said in a statement to ABC News. Bowser’s trip comes amid Trump’s attempt to wrest control of D.C. from the local officials duly elected by its already disenfranchised population. The city this week has been swarmed with federal law enforcement conducting a performative shock-and-awe operation on the orders of the president, who on Monday signed an executive order declaring a “crime emergency” despite violent crime being at at its lowest point in decades. The order also authorized a 30-day federal takeover of the city’s police, and the deployment of hundreds of National Guard to the nation’s capital. https://ca.news.yahoo.com/d-c-mayor-heads-martha-202020099.html?
