I get what your claim is, but it was absolutely church doctrine then, as Rome was attempting to fund St Peters. I provided a link that was from 1999, and it outlined the practice, obviously still in place per doctrine. It may have changed from money to other things, but there is no denying it. I am very uncomfortable pointing these things out, as the Catholic Church has been a far more positive influence on humanity throughout their existence, and schools/hospitals and charity and mission work has benefitted our country and others immensely. But....if the issue is theology, inventing stuff puts it on very thin ice that the rest of Christiandom does not agree with, and is absolutely not Biblically supported.

Deport them too...

I'm seeing Devo in Boston tonight.

He is the 2nd best player on our team. In a year, he will cost more. Pay him the 12.5. You might say this is a bad precedent, but I don’t see that would be perceived as meeting his demands. Also, all of the other deals were only for good players. I would guess that you don’t see JC as borderline elite. I do, especially for the offense we run without a burner WR. Tack this on after this year. In 3-5 years, he won’t be in the top 20% of RB pay. Good down payment for a Lombardi. JC is two furlongs ahead of what’s in the stable.

Technically, we did lose a game this year...

Johnson is our best 3rd down back, or Josh Allen is a liar. Btw...The opener against Arizona where Josh dives and busts his hand, the announcers make note Johonson is in the game vs Cook. Cook is a 2 down back and not a good blocker to boot.

The (few) corrupt medieval bishops were telling people if they just paid they would receive the indulgence. That’s not how they work. But that became the historical “lede” if you will. There was no church doctrine that said just pay and your sins will be forgiven.

Yes...I believe there will be q superbowl this year.

I...... got a feeeeeling! 🐃🏆

I'd say DaQuan Jones. His release frees-up $5.5M.

Here are our last 3 drives. It's clear the coaches had our best player on the bench. It's also clear it doesnt matter that Cook is a "2-down back" since when he does get the ball on early downs, we never get to 3rd down... Drive 1: Good comparison for everyone who still talks about Cook's old fumbles and drops and thinks Davis is going to step right in to replace him... Drive 2. Another good comparison for everyone who thinks Johnson is such a better 3rd down/receiving threat. Drive 3. Last drive of the game, Bills get the ball with 4minutes left. Coaches panic and meltdown in KC, AGAIN. Forcing passing plays when the run game was working. And we just needed a FG to stay in it.

Here’s the thing. They gave Josh two new weapons in Palmer and Moore. You not liking their choices is not the same as the team not giving him any new weapons.

I really get a kick out of you. You claim they're not mentioned in the Bible, yet the first Gentile to become Christian was a eunuch. Read Acts 8 vs 26. Read the story of Esther, which is so interesting it should be made into a movie. A personal question. Do you ever research things you post?

I dont think anyone would have though of/said JP Losman or EJ Manuel

No doubt BAl & KCY got theirs in the draft and FA, however, this is a post where everyone seems to be making reference to *weird* feelings, and I have one on my own, for some reason I think that PM15, even if still a youngster, has already peaked, maybe since 2023? and it showed on the past SB, they got us again, but it was in thier backyard, after a very iffy season, where, we can say they got the top 1 seed, in many things going their way, one of them with a blocked (superlow) kick fron DVR, or a ball snapped into OAKs QB shoulder, but never in dominating fashion. Lamar is Lamar, but one QB thta has not distiguished himself for stepping up on key moments, but because of shrinking... so, maybe our *luck* comes from the joint in time, for both of those two teams, not being at thier peak at QB?...who knows?

My first comment was it's just a kid saying he wants to take on the best. Totally understandable. But to name drop Allen brings a level of attention he may not want as a rookie.

Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise And I just can't live without you Can't you see it in my eyes? I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind

cool. tell me what it says about them. I mean the purpose was too stop guards from banging the king's concubines, right. They were usually slaves. Lot's of slaves mentioned in the bible, so maybe. So did someone speak out agains eunuchism? I think nowadays everyone thinks being a eunuch is undesirable. I guess there's probably a few people on the periphery who might find it appealing some how. As long as they don't bother me.....

I didn't before but your words have convinced me .

I've mentioned it numerous times in this thread and others. That is strictly on the coaches making yet another bad decision in KC. Why wasnt Cook on the field? You think he held himself out? Cook was their best personnel. He had the best game out of anyone on Offense. Him not being out there was a clear mistake made by coaches. He should have been out there in crunch time. Take it up with McD. Or better yet, pay him so it forces McD out of making these same dumb mistakes. Spotrac market value is like Zillow market value for homes, and they clearly state they have a +/- of 30% (which is a huge swing!).

I'd be more open to it if the data of RB's declining after age 26 wasn't so damning. Beane has the rare advantage of seeing how how an older brother (siblings share anywhere from 37 percent to 65 percent of their parents genetic variants) declined once he hit age 27. I'd even consider a franchise tag next year depending on how he performs this upcoming season.

Bill used to warn his players about booze, drugs and women. Maybe he can refer his players' women problems in house.

On paper it's the best roster we've had. Unfortunately, Baltimore and KC look to have gotten stronger too
