I agree with the"late bloomer" which is something community college is there for, not just kids who are not stellar students but people who once were terrible students but care now.

They tried. They brought in guys like Addison and Murphy to replace him and none of them were as good as Jerry. Teams generally don’t move on from their best pass rusher without having a plan to replace them.

This is awesome. I love this guy.

The Rams did us a favor by extending Williams. I think it helps us extend Cook at a reasonable deal similar to what they did.

When they said it I thought they were talking about about tubing down the mighty Niagara.

Cook's biggest mistake to date was his initial very public social media demands.... I can't believe that went over very well..

I am counting on Beane not being dumb enough to jettison his most dynamic offensive weapon, the Bills only elite offensive weapon, and the fastest, most elusive player on the roster--and right before a season with such high expectations. I am betting on the first option, to end this nonsense now. Something like: 13, 14, 15 with most of it guaranteed, locking up the biggest offensive threat for 3 years for under 45 million. Should be a tremendous bargain by the end of this season. Soon!

Since we are throwing out non McBeane era, let’s not forget Daryl Lamonica.

I, for one, feel bad for the kid. Imagine all the work he put in, he finally gets to the NFL, and his body lets him down. Hopefully he has a degree to fall back on. Good luck Braylon.

I was walking out of court recently watching a father berate his son (apparently the kid just took a plea to a minor offense) about getting his life together. The kid was maybe 20. Obviously not in college, not doing anything useful. Dad: You live at home with me for a few years. You start working at UPS. You get your CDL. You'll be able to put away $20K a year with no living expenses. By the time you're 25 you'll have a down payment for a house and you'll be set up for a good life. (I got the sense that the dad had done something like this himself.) Kid wasn't really listening. I like the idea of tracking/vocational training as long as we leave a route open for the late bloomers. The 14 year old kid tracked into more vocational training who still gets a diploma and later can restart at community college, etc, if he wants to be a teacher or an accountant or something that isn't a traditional trade.

There's very few people I've heard from that doesn't like Liev Schreiber's voice as the narrator. Would you prefer Maddy Glab?

Traded him for a 5th and 6th rounder, though. So at least we got something.

I was at that game. Wore my raincoat in my Dads car

Who's going to trade for a running back who wants what appears to be an unreasonable extension? If I had to guess most to least likely it would be extended, shows up week 1, or goes full nuclear and won't report until week 12 to get his accused season in.

2 years, 6 mil. I wouldn't consider that to be a big loss. A back-up role where he can support multiple positions makes sense for him though. Beane still references this as one of his bigger misses.

If it basically does nothing, then the players don't need it. Personally, I think it is a bad look having players on the sideline sniffing salts all game long and littering the ground with those packages. Just go play football. They literally have oxygen masks on the sidelines for players. They don't need salts for the oxygen boost.

I Googled this on my work computer and HR just set an unplanned meeting with me. Earlier I Googled Hard Knocks but made a rather embarrassing typo on the second word. Anyways my HR rep must be a fan of the show. I'll let you know how the meeting goes.

The obligatory “This narrator/announcer/talk show host sucks” take

Outstanding work.

I think the strategy behind the narrator is to have the players and coaches be the stars. The narrator is there to fill in the blanks. You can like it or not (I'm kinda "meh"), but I think that is the reasoning behind the style.

I have to confess I didn't make it through that first episode. Really boring TV. But from a football standpoint, boring is good! Good team, no big controversies, entering another season with the expectation of winning and maybe getting over the hump. Good, but ... boring.

Yeah, I would have took it. I siphoned off everything I could for…..what was it Rick James said?

Training with a python seems correct for dealing with how the KC OL "blocks"
