Tom Brady's Role as a broadcaster and as a partial owner for the Las Vegas Raiders is threatening competitive balance. 1. One day after the Eagles Chiefs rematch Brady was in the Raiders coaching booth (Eagles and Chiefs will play this season) 2. 6 days before broadcasting Cowboys vs Bears - Brady was listening in the in-game communication of the Raiders (Raiders will play Cowboys and bears) So... Brady will broadcast games of 6 of the Raiders opponents this season Is this fair? Eric Shanks (Fox Sports CEO) declined to comment if that is a conflict of interest when asked. The NFL issued a statement. “There are no policies that prohibit an owner from sitting in the coaches’ booth or wearing a headset during a game,” league spokesman Brian McCarthy said in a statement to Yahoo Sports and others. "Brady was sitting in the booth in his capacity as a limited partner. All personnel sitting in the booth must abide by policies that prohibit the use of electronic devices other than league-issued equipment such as a Microsoft Surface Tablet for the Sideline Viewing System.” A yahoo article writes, "League broadcast partners routinely hold production meetings with the teams whose games they’re about to call. Facility visits include practice viewing and meeting with coaches and players. Oftentimes, staffs try to be more honest with the broadcast team than they would at a podium in order to ensure the success of a media rights deal worth $111 billion over 11 years.The NFL created some guardrails last season when Brady was approved as a limited owner of the Raiders months after his Fox gig began. The NFL barred Brady from participating in meetings and team visits last year. This year, the league loosened restrictions to allow Brady virtual access." So now this could lead the NFL to discuss this in future forums with the next one being in late October. What do we think?

https://506sports.com Bills play Thursday, but on Sunday Buffalo TV gets: CBS - Pittsburgh at New England FOX early - Jets at Tampa Bay (Rochester and Syracuse get Rams at Philly instead, a much better game) FOX late - Dallas at Chicago

Looked like he tried to slap him on the head.

Freddy, you give them too much credit. Bills-37 Fish-6 This wont be close. Couldbe, Trubiskywillscore on the lowly pathetic Fish. Can’t wait to them humiliated.

Allez les bleus!!!

The weird thing is that I have never considered Micah unathletic. It might come down to definition. Are we really just talking about speed? He definitely had slowed down near the end. I just keep seeing in my mind the over the head interception at the goal line against the Pats, thinking about how he just decided to score as the hands guy defending the onside kick, him returning kicks, him playing baseball, being such a great safety, etc. He just struck me as a superb athlete. I know that his RAS score is not even close to being good and that Hancock's RAS is elite. Like I said, weird.

IIRC Romo chuckled after he whiffed.

He's actually playing more than I thought he would. 69% Week 1. 55% Week 2 in a blowout.

Have a blast bud. Theres a chance my wife and i might after 35 years may move back. It’s wrapped around career stuff, but she gave me the green light. Have a blast tomorrow night. Youll have a ball.

I saw that thread—-turns you were surfing in shark-infested waters wearing a bathing suit made of seal meat!

we're very clearly not talking about right now lol

I'm not sure if this was already posted but - to my surprise - Hawes is PFF's highest graded rookie after two weeks... 1. TE Jackson Hawes, Buffalo Bills (92.7) Hawes followed up a 93.7 PFF overall grade against the Ravens in Week 1 with an 85.3 mark against the Jets in Week 2. He played 35 snaps, primarily as a run blocker, and earned an 84.8 PFF run-blocking grade on zone runs (18 snaps). The fifth-round pick from Georgia Tech is the NFL's highest-graded tight end after Week 2 and ranks as the second-best run blocker at the position (83.1), behind teammate Dawson Knox (90.6). While Hawes has dealt with challenges in man schemes (58.3), he’s been excellent in zone, earning an 85.6 zone PFF run-blocking grade across 23 snaps through two weeks. As a receiver, Hawes has caught both of his targets for 34 yards, 29 of which came in Week 1. www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-2-2025

If I am counting correctly, the Bills have knocked Tua out of the game 3 times....twice due to injury, and once due to ineffectiveness. I have a feeling we may see number 4 tomorrow.

Adam West is the only batman.

One thing Josh still does have a tendency to do is stare guys down a bit. I wouldn't mind him wearing a tinted one.

Just did it. No real tips - you have to just kind of muscle through the prep. It's definitely not that fun, but the procedure itself is nothing. On the plus side, I lost about 5 pounds, which I really needed to do.

2018 was a transitional year. The Bills middled 2017. They didn't go all in on a rebuild, they didn't go all in on winning. It worked out and McDermott coached his ass off that year. It was an odd and risky way to do it. But McDermott clearly wanted his buddy in situ as GM before he tied himself to a Quarterback. By 2019 they had to win and they did. He is as good as Stafford, right now. Peak Matt Stafford was a tier above peak Jared Goff. I know he had a good game Sunday, but Stafford isn't still that guy.

I thought I was on PPP but apparently one of the Kirk threads was on off the wall

Torrence is supposed to block 44. He fails on the Davis run but succeeds on the Cook run. It's that simple.

i don't think the shooters in either city were down played. i saw everything play out on common media. there didn't seem to be any question who they were to me at least. i also go to eastern universities for continuing ed. i see run of the mill common campuses. maybe we see completely different things through our own lenses. i'm not denying it exists at all, but i think were giving some college kids far too much credit on their political motivations. my head isn't in the sand over it, i just don't feel it's at the point were universities are programing their students in droves.

Not unfriendly in the least. No worries. And yeah, if the comparable RAS scores mean anything, Hancock’s athleticism is far superior. But we all know that doesn’t mean much if he can’t come close to Micah’s mastery of the cerebral aspects of the position which, again, is paramount in McD’s scheme of things. Looking forward to seeing Hancock put it all together eventually.

That was the case last week with the 4th qtr being garbage time and also with EO injured. All the starters played 67% vs the ravens iirc. Until Hoecht is available, I think the starters will continue around 67%- at that point, I think the DE’s may rotate more

Good Stats but thinking we should use Targets as opposed to Receptions in this mix to really assess value... Guess is Diggs had way more targets than Sanders with more drops or defended passes... More opportunity to better align the numbers

If you listen to the statements from the wingnuts protesting on his behalf at the courthouse it would be hard to reach any other conclusion than this was political. The guy's on trial for murder and these simpletons are reciting standard talking points and slogans about how the trial highlights the inequities in the health care system. No it doesn't.

Do you not realize you contradicted yourself in the first two paragraphs? First paragraph, basically saying the transgender relationship isn’t confirmed. But then state the shooters motive was to protect his love. So which one is it? You don’t want to meet violent terrorists with violence? They are not saying be violent against innocent people, they are saying be violent against terrorists. And you’re against that??? It really sounds like you are a Terrorist sympathizer. I believe in preventative measures to ensure more attacks don’t happen. It seems you don’t. You don’t believe in any measure for this. Sounds like you feel that we should just move on like nothing happened.
