  1. Past hour
  2. Plus the end of the stadium and all the ghosts surrounding those teams, it's a perfect combination of events
  3. Comedy is not funny when the commentary is made because of political views. Observation of politicians can be funny. Trump's orange glow could be funny is not done with the intent to insult due to political bias. Kimmel is over the top. They do nothing different than Fox News but with the cover of a joke. It is all just singing from the Hymn book. Gervais insults, Rickles insulted, Carson quibbed about Reagan, Red Buttons laughed about Nixon, who never had a dinner! I never found The Daily show funny, just one political view after another.
  4. More players should learn from this!
  5. Do you know the league average for guys getting the second contract? And actually, it's 3/6, since Cook is certainly second contract worthy. The question with Cook isn't whether he should be kept; the question is whether he and the Bills can agree on a price. I'd think a 50% yield on second rounders is not bad. Not great, but not bad.
  6. What it doesn’t show is neither is wearing pants.
  7. I see nothing wrong with this. He was being responsible by not drinking, tipping skanks, and driving.
  8. Remember that he wished Ghislaine Maxwell well, but hasn't contacted the families' of the Minnesota congresspeople that were murdered. I know. You are trying so hard. But turns out you are a pedo sympathizer.
  9. What is interesting is that growing up I really enjoyed the Colbert Report. So I was really excited when he was coming to late night. Then when I watched the show, it was awful. I knew that the Colbert Report was a "character" but I didn't realize how much that character was masking his true persona. Kimmel is the same way, you cant go from the "Man Show" and then try to become a "moral compass" As he ever come and said anything about the Man Show or tried to denounce it? I would respect him a little bit more if he had done that...
  10. Only when Tua still managed to get himself concussed
  11. I don't see much from Brandt these days. So this is how he spends his time
  12. Other than Tom Brady retiring, this might be the single best NFL related post I've ever seen
  13. Ah ha! Now we have the “naked” truth
  14. A little bit more than head butting https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45769802/ex-nflpa-boss-lloyd-howell-strip-club-expenses-sent-investigator “Former NFL Players Association leader Lloyd Howell Jr. resigned after an outside investigator hired by the union received documents this week showing Howell charged the union for two visits to strip clubs, including a $738.82 car service that took him from the airport to one of the clubs”
  15. BREAKING: Wow!!!
  16. My wife and I are having this. https://www.portraitmagazine.com/newmans-at-988-dungeness-crab-cakes?fbclid=IwAR32RsODgdVRbfAYT_FvwYYlSVkQb-QgJ9Z4QYTwhxz8JNAa2KWJtU3LRE0
  17. I've never heard of the guy myself but from the way it's worded (my leadership has become a distraction) it sounds like there was a bit of head butting going down.
  18. To go from 100 targets (roughly 6.6 per game based on his 2024 pace) to 150 targets (8.8 per game) you are talking a little over 2 extra targets per game. In order to manufacture those targets, imo, some of them would NEED to be more around the line of scrimmage. You aren’t dialing up 2 intermediate targets a game extra. Efficiency and ADOT would continue to drop. We just saw how much his efficiency dropped going from 45 to 100. Another 50 would continue to drop it imo. You say it’s factored in but I don’t think so. To get Shakir that level of volume, you are going dial up more manufactured stuff by definition. Did anyone predict his ADOT was gonna get cut in half after 2023? I doubt it. But it’s very telling to me that his OC did that in order to get him 100 targets. You are basically arguing that his 2024 usage is his baseline usage because it was. It’s circular logic. You could’ve said something similar after 2023. Assuming a little statistical drop off because his efficiency stats were bonkers, his target distribution should’ve remained relatively similar going from 2023 to 2024 and his ADOT should have never been cut in half. Unfortunately, we now have another year of evidence that that’s not how it works. In order to get his targets up, we DID have to use him more around the LoS, we DID have to manufacture a lot of touches, and it DID harm his efficiency. See above. I don’t want to do a lot of heavy back on forth on this any further because it’s too much math. But I do want to address the bolded because I think it’s the crux of the matter. I think you see Shakir a lot differently than me. But I also think you see the top 30 WRs in the NFL a lot differently too. Almost all of those guys, DON’T max out. The 30th WR in the NFL in receiving yards last year was Tyreek Hill. His offense wants to give him MORE targets, not less. The Bears want to get the ball to DJ Moore who was 29th in yards MORE, not less. I see Shakir as exactly who he is has been. His value add is at its best when he is maxing it probably between 60-80 targets and is very efficient on those targets. There are not a lot of top 30 WRs that you want hitting that target load. Most of them, you want them getting anywhere from 120-140 targets. And that’s the difference between being a #1 and a #2 to me. I want the #1 to get the ball all the time. I want a Diggs to get 150 targets. And if Shakir gets 60 or 80 along the way, that’s great and valuable too. So to me, there’s no chance that Shakir is top 30. His intangibles are great, but I think he’s at his best with only a moderate load of targets. And that puts him in a different class than the top 30. Ultimately, I see Shakir as maxing out as a 600-800 yard per year guy for his career. I don’t think 2024 was his efficiency floor, but I think there’s a very good chance that his career total averages never eclipses what he did in 2024. And I think finding the sweet spot of getting enough targets to be both MORE productive than 2024 and MORE efficient than 2024 is next to impossible. If Shakir retires from the NFL in 10 years, his career averages will likely be like 50 catches, 710 yards, and a handful of TDs. Thats not nothing and that’s still quite valuable mixed with some good traits but that’s not more valuable than the top 30 or so WRs.
  19. O'Brien's is for sure a blast but one thing... there are no past Buffalonians. Displaced maybe but not past... it's in the blood.
  20. Beane is a wizard
  21. Spotrac has details now. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/21771/tj-watt
