My point was that there are a lot of people without family connections to the Confederacy who choose to fly the flag, and it raises a lot of questions as to why they would choose that symbol. If someone who was not French decided to fly the French flag, I'd also question that as an oddity, but it doesn't piss me off quite as much since we didn't fight a war against them over owning people.

Sure, it's perfectly normal to fly the flag of a defeated enemy. Everything's fine.

Sure, neither does wearing a white sheet (maybe it's Halloween after all) but it bears some explaining, especially when flaunted by someone with no ties to the Confederacy.

There are a lot of racists in WNY (as with pretty much everywhere else in the world.) I have a friend in Rochester who recently took a road trip down to South Carolina. He estimated that 80% of the confederate flags he saw during said trip were in the state of NY. Honestly, what is someone from NY's attachment to this flag?

What are we being distracted from this time?

This one hurt. One of my favorites.

I get what you're saying but the teams don't guarantee the contracts, so why should the players be held to them?

Going back? Jesus, have we been in light days?

I voted yes overall, but I would have preferred keeping Darby.

ashamed4Bills ****, it didn't work for me

This was my first game and I remember it as the loudest although I was only 8 and probably a bit in shock. This was definitely up there also.

Considering I could get Brady in the 5th, I'd try for both.

But the 5th year option is only 2 mil less than the top 5 salary.

If someone else signs him while on the non-exclusive tag I think they give up their next 2 first round picks (over 2 years), we wouldn't get 2 in the same year (since teams generally only have 1 per year.)

Yes, and from what I've heard it'd only be about 2mil$ more than what we pay for picking up his option, which is probably why they don't pick it up.

I think this is the most likely scenario but I also think Cardale is going to have to earn it over Yates. Cardale was Whaley's pick and I don't think they're going to keep him around for another year strictly based on potential.

I'm very sorry to hear this, we'll all be praying for your family.

came here to post this

I wouldn't say they're meaningless, although they're certainly not useful in comparing players of different eras.

meet the new favre, same as the old favre

I'll take that bet

If you are talking about not having alcohol (or whatever substance) in your system sure. But the definition of "sober" that I think would be required to lead, or even be on an NFL team (for an addict / alcoholic anyway) is not the same as going without alcohol for a few hours / days.

I'm not here to pick on the guy, and I've been in a similar situation. IMO someone who goes out of his way to explain that he didn't need professional assistance probably isn't really ready to turn it around. But I hope I'm wrong.

Right, and his chances of staying sober aren't great, especially without professional assistance.
