Morning Doc If you’re referring to my posts, I never once said that the prevailing party isn’t ’entitled’ to the punitive damages…not once.

Of course they are, they are ghouls, it is what they do.

agent just gained a bit more leverage. the way things go for us lately....if we sign him to a deal he'll immediately be tested and suspended OR some woman could sue him OR he could be arrested for _________

Is this one of those moral victory threads? We never win it all but enjoy the slightly better than average results. We are in the same position as the 31 other teams. Let's see how they do first before we congratulate anyone.

That’s on the locality. Not the Fed. How did funding cuts that don’t take effect until October impact this situation? For decades they’ve gotten the weather wrong everywhere all the time. Getting exact rainfall totals wrong? Omg man. Does this apply to police - or will people die if we defund them?

agreed. absolutely zero risk for us. If he makes it through camp cuts, awesome! If not, we've lost nothing

Authoritarianism has always lost in every era of human history.

I really like Beane....this off-season has been disappointing for the franchise. A few good moves were made but multiple players immediately being suspended and now this nonsense again (even if he's innocent) very annoying

Tasker's in on signing him long term now.

LMAO. You are gullible AF - you don’t just drink the Kool-Aid, you bathe in it, bottle it, and sell it online as Patriot Juice.

You voted for this!

Bring it on. The limp wrist soy boys will be obliterated into dust

They say that Republicans are Nazis on mainstream TV and then they act surprised when nut jobs try and take it in their own hands to try and do something. They are all at fault for this. They need to be prosecuted as accessories to the crimes. Their rhetoric is dangerous.

You voted for this. It is happening as I predicted. People will fight back against tyranny. Indeed, and they’re wearing masks and hiding their identities as they raid schools, restaurants, and job sites.

Cook just named #89 on the NFL top 100 list

They had no sirens, first of all, and second of all it’s being reported that the forecast didn’t account for the amount of rain they got. Then fund the NWS more.

To be fair this whole thing somehow turned into a somewhat interesting discussion of whether a victim was entitled to all the punitive damages (money) in a civil suit like this. It's such a ridiculously obvious answer but I enjoyed hearing the idiotic alternatives.

We are at war. America has been infiltrated by the enemy. This could get worse before it gets better

I respect that. I'd just like to point out that innocence and guilt, in a legal sense, are not at issue in a civil suit where the standard of proof is "more likely than not". I do wonder how many people commenting here actually read the suit? If one clicks on the OP article, it's linked.

Thanks. I was thinking more along the lines of insurance against nuisance lawsuits. (And before people jump to conclusions…I’m not saying this is one!) I’m not sure how it would work, or how much you’d have to pay in premiums but it seems like you can get insurance against just about anything as long as you’re willing to pay for it. Athletes have been known to get insurance on their knees or shoulders. Maybe the very existence of such a policy would make you even more of a target, but I could imagine all sorts of claims being filed against young athletes who suddenly come into big money.

ESPN has him ranked 8th in the NFL FWIW. No mention of him being abhorrent at pass blocking. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45589580/ranking-nfl-top-10-running-backs-2025-execs-coaches-scouts-make-their-picks-best-rushers 8. James Cook, Buffalo Bills Highest ranking: 4 | Lowest ranking: unranked Age: 25 | Last year's ranking: honorable mention Cook entered the top 10 after a 16-touchdown season in 2024, vaulting from honorable mention to No. 8 and pushing Taylor for the seventh spot. He's now tied with O.J. Simpson (1975) for the most rushing touchdowns in a single season in Bills history. Cook's 3.1 yards per rush before contact was the fifth-highest mark of any qualifying back. "Dangerous and explosive," an NFL personnel executive said. Added an AFC exec: "He's perfect for that offense, with a quarterback that spreads things out. He's good in the passing game, catches the ball really well, good in open space. Not sure he's elite yet, but he's really, really good." He's averaging 222 carries per season as the starter, and some teams are curious about how he would hold up as a 300-carry No. 1 back at 5-foot-11 and 190 pounds. But either way, he has earned league wide respect at a time when he's seeking a contract extension from Buffalo.

This is where I am at... we can win it this year... I do think they have transitioned nicely for the future... now we have to have some defensive picks hit and not just as serviceable starters... but the ones that wreck games .... but in the end... lets see but I like the future for this group.

I think he’s just upset that he got in line for the pitch forks, but the torch line moved much faster. He’s disenchanted by the process we use, and he seems to be giving up. Letting the process play out is not part of our typical process. It can be confusing.

in quicksand...

Trying to move to crisis ...
