  1. Past hour
  2. I can stop hitting F5.
  3. He has been talking since last season that he wants no part of paying a RB over $10 million a year and was more than willing to let Cook walk
  4. Nothing crazy like some of you guys. I always bought cheap used cars. I had a 2014 toyota cruze that I liked and that I wanted to beat into the ground, but 1) going down the highway and busy main roads with my 1 daughter felt completely unsafe, especially with the amount of crazy "me first drivers" 2) it had a progressive oil leak that was getting worse and worse, so it was time to get a new/newer SUV. I never went full on new car before, I grew up in a family were we wore or rode everything into the ground so I knew if I got a good one, and kept it nice it could last me 10-15 years or better. Did lots and lots of research, narrowed it down to Toyota Rav4, Honda CRV and Subaru Forrester. My favorite of the bunch, the Rav4 is what I ended up going with. Now it came down to where to buy it. I did not need the one with all the glitz and glamour, my parents both grew up extremely dirt poor, we did fine growing up (dad a teacher and mom a nurse), but dad's mentality was to always stretch a dollar, so we did not have anything fancy whether it was cars, clothes, house, etc. So I have slightly acquired a little of that mentality in the sense that I do not need anything fancy, so I went with the basic model, because it had everything I need to go from A to B. I read up on strategies to lower the price tag, admittedly I suck at negotiations, but one tactic I thought I could employ easily was to pit the 3-4 main dealerships in the area against each other to see who would give me the best price. It worked I was able to work them down until they started dropping out 1 by 1, and eventually the last two remaining were trying to outdo each other with "their best price" even got to the point of them asking for the offer sheet of the other dealership to make sure I was not lying, which I gladly showed them. I ended up getting about 5-6 thousand off the listed price in addition to 2500 for the chevy cruze (oil was pretty bad a this point, but my mechanic cleaned up the engine pretty good prior to trading it in, so it was not very noticeable). The only part that was bad in this process from my standpoint was the guy trying to sell the extended warranty. He acted nice, I had my wife and daughter with me, and he was trying to sell me an additional warranty by saying that it covers rotors and what not in addition to something else. Something did not feel right, I bought one when I got the Cruze and it was a nightmare to get the company I bought the warranty from to cover something that was listed in the warranty in black and white, so I was very cautious about this. Anyways I took the sheet home with me and told him I would let him know in 24-48 hours, and when I googled it, I found out the warranty he was trying to sell me in fact did not cover what he was telling me as his main selling point, that it was a different warranty that the company sold that covered these things, not this one. I unloaded on his ass like no other, I was not pleasant saying he knowingly lied to my face, my wife's face and I brought the proof of the two different warranties off of the company's website. He backed off pretty quick when he realized I found out he was lying and that the dealership was about to lose the sale if he said another word to me.
  5. Hard Knocks looking for another storyline now 😛
  6. Someone go check on Bulldog
  7. Why? Honestly, I don’t know. I haven’t been listening to him talk about this.
  8. Fantabulous! We didn’t need that hanging over the team into the season. I guess I have to call out a thank you to Drew Rosenhaus for getting that deal done for Kyrel Williams.
  9. Now sit him through the remainder of preseason!
  10. Glad he signed.. surprised he got $30m guaranteed. Does more guaranty lessen the salary cap ramifications? It always seems like teams are up against the cap and then you see a signing like this
  11. Great news for slightly above average running backs who can't block everywhere.
  12. Imo the most important signing this year. Good deal both sides. LOL got to be a lot of disappointed Bills fans, the get rid of him crowd
  13. Solid deal on both sides. Happy this is done.
  14. Similar money to the Bernard contract which is what I expected from the start. A little bit more drama though.
  15. i just looked hoover's up and it looks legit!
  16. YES! Great news. The Bills need Cook out there helping Allen as he is their 2nd best player on offense
  17. Stoked ❤️😁
  18. Nice work getting that done almost a month before the season starts. Plenty of time to get him up to speed. Glad he's on the team; he's a weapon.
  19. Great day! Love Cook! $30M guaranteed is what probably got the deal done. The per year stuff is just funny money. I really like the RB group. If Davis can progress just a little they have three guys that can all play. Would love to see Cook around 50 receptions this year but I dont think it will happen. And that's becuase I think Kincaid is going to explode this year.
  20. Thanks for helping us stupid people, how does the next greatest player to wear 52 play in?
  21. Great job for both sides! Since it’s an extension rather than a new deal, wonder if it lowers the cap this year
  22. So we like Cook now?😉
  23. This is seriously your response. Pretty sad.
