I hope we are close to seeing a deal get done with Cook. We need him out there this year. Big loss if he is disgruntled/tagged/nothing happens. He has earned it imo.

Democrats Learn What Consequences Are, and They Aren't Happy About It One of the more underappreciated aspects of the 2024 election is just how confident most Democrats were that they would win it. It seems like an eternity ago, but there was a time when the American left was all but certain Kamala Harris would be the next president. Who can remember the months-long proclamation of "joy" being a central theme of her campaign? Or "Brat summer," suggesting Harris had made inroads with pop culture that simply couldn't be defeated. I still remember having to repeatedly debunk reports on election day of massive turnout in Philadelphia that had supposedly sealed the deal for the then-vice president. That attitude was nothing new, though. Between 2021 and 2024, no action was taken by the Democratic Party that factored in the possibility that Donald Trump might be president again one day. Assuming that he'd surely be done this time, they didn't even consider the possible alternative outcomes of their crusade. But then he won, and like a child who angrily wonders how the hot stove burned him, the Democrats are now very unhappy that Trump is governing in light of their actions. I'm going to go ahead and skip the sugar-coating that some try to do regarding this topic. Is Donald Trump seeking retribution for how the Democratic Party weaponized the American judicial system to try to throw him in prison for the rest of his life? Yes. Yes, he is. Here's the best summation of the situation I've seen. You see, in life, when you do things, those things often produce specific repercussions. We call those "consequences," and you don't get to call a timeout from them the moment they arrive. Democrats seem to be under the impression that they can set new standards only to revert when those new standards devour them. Take the recent battle over redistricting, which has seen over 50 left-wing Texas legislators flee their state to stop the passing of a new congressional map that would eliminate five Democrat-held seats. For decades, the Democratic Party has used state power to draw some of the most gerrymandered maps in the nation. Some examples include Illinois, Maryland, California, New York, Massachusetts, and New Mexico. But when Texas Republicans decided they wanted to stop playing the game with their hands tied behind their back, Democrats screamed bloody murder. The same is happening regarding Trump's quest to hold people accountable for the political weaponization of the government. When Joe Biden used a special counsel to try to jail the current president on extremely specious legal grounds, that was spun as "no one is above the law." When Trump responds to that breaking of norms by investigating those who perpetrated it, suddenly it's a "threat to democracy." When Department of Justice officials and FBI agents used their power to hatch a conspiracy to try to take down the Democrats' primary political rival, they were just "doing their job." When Trump fires those leaders and agents as a result of their own decisions to politicize their offices, that's claimed to be "politicization." But really, what did Democrats think was going to happen? At what point in Trump's political career has he shown a penchant for letting things go? https://redstate.com/bonchie/2025/08/10/democrats-learn-what-consequences-are-and-they-arent-happy-n2192651

Brady's system is signifgantly better for Josh along with our offense than Dorsey's. We are getting more with less. I know that's a complicated to understand. Our 3rd down defense by year 2019 9th 2020 19th 2021 1st 2022 6th 2023 18th 2024 30th I know having all the information probably isn't as good as cherry picking. This isn't hard, you're serving lay ups.

Many people under 25 also have type 2 diabetes or other underlying conditions that would make them candidates to get the vaccine Quack. Also the mortality data is useless as they counted people who died with covid just the same as people who died from covid or covid complications. Garbage in, garbage out. Which was the entire point.

McDermott is a better regular season coach, and a substantially better post season coach. Schottenheimer had a .278 win percentage in the playoffs. Its fine if you dont like McDermott but he is a lot closer to Jim Harbaugh than he is Schottenheimer. At least make a fair comparison to make your point. I get he hasnt won the Superbowl, but its ignorant to discount how good he has been otherwise.

I assure you that YOU don’t want to do that.

Trump whining about “homegrown criminals” and the Capitol being a mess while he pardoned violent January 6 thugs is peak brain-melt hypocrisy.

But like you said, reports are that they are close, and it sounds like we're near the Williams deal... So it's about to be on Beane to step up and make it $11.5M or $12M or whatever slight difference there is and get it done. Doesnt sound from any report that Cook is holding strong at $15M. Big Baller Beane needs to be Bridge Builder Beane if we're this close. All reports are that they are close. So with that, I'm sure the discussion was more along the lines of "We'd love to have you out there, Jimbo", "Sorry coach, I cant risk injury until this deal gets done", "Understood. We'd still like to have you dress and be with the team", "No problem". McD understands this business as well. The players even more so. Nothing is getting fractured, especially Cook's leg.

Goodbye to DEI, crushed by the weight of its own hypocrisies by Victor Davis Hanson President Donald Trump’s executive orders banning diversity, equity and inclusion-related racial and gender preferencing have ostensibly doomed the DEI industry. But DEI was already on its last legs. Half of all Americans no longer approve of racial, ethnic or gender preferences. DEI had enjoyed a surge following the death of George Floyd and the subsequent 120 days of nonstop rioting, arson, assaults, killings and attacks on law enforcement during the summer of 2020. In those chaotic years, DEI was seen as the answer to racial tensions. {snip} Yet almost immediately, contradictions and hypocrisies undermined DEI. First, how does one define “diverse” in an increasingly multiracial, intermarried, assimilated and integrated society? DNA badges? The old one-drop rule of the antebellum South? Superficial appearance? To establish racial or ethnic proof of being one-sixteenth, one-fourth, or one-half “non-white,” employers, corporations and universities would have to become racially obsessed genealogists. Yet refusing to become racial auditors also would allow racial and ethnic fraudsters — like Sen. Elizabeth Warren and the would-be mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani — to go unchecked. Warren falsely claimed Native American heritage to leverage a Harvard professorship. Mamdani, an immigrant son of wealthy Indian immigrants from Uganda, tried to game his way into college by claiming he was African American. Second, in 21st-century America, class became increasingly divergent from race. Mamdani, who promises to tax “affluent” and “whiter” neighborhoods at higher rates, is himself the child of Indian immigrants, the most affluent ethnic group in America. Why would the children of Barack Obama, Joy Reid or LeBron James need any special preferences, given the multimillionaire status of their parents? In other words, one’s superficial appearance no longer necessarily determines one’s income or wealth, nor defines “privilege” or lack thereof. Third, DEI is often tied to questions of “reparations.” The current white majority supposedly owes other particular groups financial or entitlement compensation for the sins of the past. Yet in today’s multiracial and multiethnic society, in which over 50 million residents were not born in the United States and many have only recently arrived, what are the particular historical or past grievances that would earn anyone special treatment? What injustices can recent arrivals from southern Mexico, South Korea or Chad claim, knowing little about, and experiencing no firsthand bias from, Americans, the United States, or its history? Is the DEI logic that when a Guatemalan steps one foot across the southern border, she is suddenly classified as a victim of white oppression and therefore entitled to preferences in hiring or employment? Fourth, does the word “minority” still carry any currency? In today’s California, the demography breaks down as 40% Latino, 34% white, 16% Asian American or Pacific Islander, 6% black, and 3% Other — with no significant majority and fewer whites than the Latino “minority.” Are Latinos the new de facto “majority” and “whites” just one of the four other “minorities?” Do the other minorities, then, have grievances against Latinos, given that they are the dominant population in the state? Fifth, when does DEI “proportional representation” apply, and when does it not? Are whites “overrepresented” among the nation’s university faculties, reportedly 75% white, when they comprise only about 70% of the population? Or, are whites “underrepresented” as college students, making up just 55% of them, and thus in need of DEI action to bump up their numbers? Black athletes are vastly overrepresented in lucrative and prestigious professional sports. To correct such asymmetries, should Asians and Hispanics be given mandated quotas for quarterback or point-guard positions to ensure proper athletic “diversity, equity and inclusion”? Sixth, DEI determines good and bad prejudices, as well as correct and incorrect biases. “Affinity” segregationist graduations — black, Hispanic, Asian and gay — are considered “affirming”. But would a similar affinity graduation ceremony for European-Americans or Jews be considered “racist”? Is a Latino-themed, de facto segregated house on a California campus considered “enlightened,” while a European-American dorm would be condemned as incendiary? In truth, DEI long ago became corrupt, falling apart under the weight of its own paradoxes and hypocrisies. It is a perniciously divisive idea — unable to define who qualifies for preference or why, who is overrepresented or not, or when bias is acceptable or unjust. And it is past time that it goes away. https://nypost.com/2025/08/10/opinion/goodbye-to-dei-crushed-by-the-weight-of-its-own-hypocrisies/

Marino/Shula called. They said, Atta Boy Sean

I see a lot of shoulder shaking but not violent enough with his hands

Yeah I'm on the pay Cook train as well. Just imagine what the offense looks like without him. It certainly is not breaking any records and could take a huge step backward

I've learned that Dane Jackson didn't get any better and Dion only plays well in pre-season when Josh is in.

I don't get why you spend a high pick on a guy to "set the edge". You need pass rushers 1st

Ah ok, so "the usual"

Yea i am on the Pay cook train. Not having a fully invested Cook for this season would be a huge blow. They paid shakir, they should pay Cook. Cook is the more productive and better player. If I was cook that would be my issue.

Never broken a bone or had stiches. (other than a broken nose or toe that just healed on its own) Never smoked pot. Never been wrong.

But the had Billy B🤷‍♂️

Id be shocked if they franchise tagged him. And I’m sorry, but this premise of saying the Bills just need to swallow whatever Cook wants and get it done is ridiculous. Maybe the Bills are only offering like 8M per, and ok, if that’s the case I get it. But with reports that the two sides are somewhat close, it sounds like we’re around the Kyren Williams deal, which is absolutely fair. If he wants more than that.. cool.. I don’t want to trade him for a pick that won’t help us this year, but if we could player for player trade him.. I’m all in on that right now.

Rousseau never really got home in college or during rookie deal. He is who we drafted.

Yeah I didnt see much from him nor am I hearing out of camp ... holy crap this guy gets it and is going to be a beast etc... , its early, but if he doesnt turn it up its not gonna end well for him

Never thought I’d ever get to see a MAGA who claimed to have “dOnE tHEiR oWn reSeArCh” in real time! WOW!! 😂😂😂 You’re arguing with a medical professional but because one of the classes he took wasn’t recent enough for your uneducated self, you disclaim him. I’m certain he’s basically saying “take immunology 101” and that he has more knowledge in his pinky than on all the conspiracy sites/twitter accounts you follow. I suppose you think since that geriatric conspiracy theory-laden creep BillsFanNC calls him a quack that you just follow along like a little sheep. This is one of the - amongst a list a mile long - most uneducated posts in PPP history.
