Right, but if the QB simply holds the ball out and let's it go in the players hands, it may not be going forward.
By the rules of the league and the way it’s been called all year it does mean the ball was going forward.

Calling his bluff.

THE NEW YORK BILLS

Throw in the fact the Canadian govt will not help with subsidies as another poster pointed out, the possibility of Toronto getting a franchise is a major long shot for the foreseeable future.
Yeah, if he's frustrated by St. Louis not buying him a new stadium Toronto's not going to be any more ideal. I imagine Rogers Centre is a worse venue than the stadium they have too.

MAYBE the decision to get rid of him was OK. The deal was not.
Lynch has nothing to do with Bryce Brown, but he was on his 2nd strike at that point wasn't he? And he had played himself out of the starting job and pretty clearly didn't want to be here. RBs don't get traded for much on good terms. What should they have gotten for him?
-
Seven pages and a lot of hand-wringing over a guy was inactive 10 out of a possible 17 games here.

And nothing of value was lost.

Very sad indeed.
Do you think they should have a moment of silence before the game?
I doubt the team is going to do anything to draw attention to it at all today.
-
The shallow, foolish and ultimately dangerous rationale of those who would curtail the freedom of the masses for the transgressions of the few.
LOL. Freedom doesn't enter into it. This happened on stadium property. People camping out there are guests. It's a huge liability concern for the team and the county. Imagine if he'd turned the gun on other people first. I can't imagine the team wants to have to address this the morning of their home opener.

Horrible and tragic and nobody gets to criticize the Pegulas if they decide to build a new stadium somewhere without tailgating as we know it.

How do you ever expect something like this to gain traction when the second somebody takes the initiative to post it, a group of 5-10 posters (who actually would otherwise love to see something happen) try to make the poster feel like an idiot?
All it takes is 100 or so people before the media picks it up and hundreds of people read these threads.
I mean even if a small portion of each fanbase stops watching (only when their team isn't playing though of course) there are still millions of people watching who are fans of the other team, fans of the Patriots, who are just fans of the sport, or who have fantasy teams. So let's say you get your hundred people and Tim Graham or somebody comes calling to write a story about it what do you say the endgame is? Ideally what would you like to accomplish?

Seems pretty pansy-ish to only boycott the games your team isn't playing in. If you really want to make a statement stop watching, reading, commenting and spending money on the NFL altogether. That'll show 'em.
-
This seems to be the same thing that Rex has been saying anytime he's asked. They are hopeful he'll be back but it's not a sure thing. Not sure why people are surprised or incredulous now.
-
Any chance they can sign him back at a reduced salary? I wish they would have cut one of the WRs who will never see any real time this year. There are just too many positions they have to keep an extra guy like TE and 3 QBs and an extra KO specialist, etc.
There's no way they go through this day, call a press conference basically just to talk about it only to sign him again a few weeks later. It was reported that they never even tried to get him to take a paycut so his salary by itself wasn't the problem. He's gone.

As I said: you don't understand the concept.
Maybe because it only exists in your head?
-
Neither of you understand the concept of Free Speech.
Free Speech means free, as in: without consequences. If I can't say whatever I want, however offensive or misguided others think it is, because I have to fear what you/they might do about it, then I am not free. Period. Unpopular speech is exactly what must be defended, for all speech to be considered free.
Free Speech has nothing to do with job performance. If Schopp were to be fired, it would be due to the latter, and only because the bosses at the station own the format, and determine what is acceptable performance. They are free to do what they want with their business.
This has nothing to do with those external to the business, preventing/changing/cooling the speech they don't like, via a boycott.
You can't claim to support Free Speech, but then also support totalitarian/mob rule tactics whose sole objective is to curtail it, like boycotts. Pick one or the other.
No place in this country does free speech work the way you are describing and this entire topic is about his job performance so free speech doesn't even enter into it.

Incognito's reputation preceded the Martin situation and this doesn't excuse the texts and voicemails that were the basis of the investigation. So no.

Please refrain from co-opting my thread.
I don't agree with boycotts, and I never will. My old signature was something along the lines of "You are as entitled to your opinion as I am to mock you mercilessly for it". We shouldn't be looking to kill piss poor free speech. Instead, we should be looking to come back at it with better free speech.
Schopp has a God-given, not man-given, right to free speech. Or, if you're not into the whole God thing: man isn't allowed to take away rights, merely because they don't like what others do with them. That's what inalienable means.
Boycotts are an attack on free speech. Period. The object of a boycott is to either remove the speech we don't like, or the speaker.
That's crap.
Whoa wait what is this nonsense? Free speech just means the government can't arrest you for certain kinds of speech. It doesn't give you carte blanche to say whatever you want without any sort of repercussions. Boycotts are part of the free market. If enough people stopped listening to WGR it's conceivable they would have to replace the on-air talent with people the public liked better. Schopp or anyone else on that station could say something today and if the station felt it wasn't in their best interests to keep that person anymore they could fire them and it would have nothing to do with God or the constitution.

Change of what?
They'll bring back Chuck Dickerson and also make it the 90s again.
-
Yeah, Easely was JUST signed recently primarily for special teams' ability. Hard to imagine they suddenly stop valuing that for a WR that would hardly play.
Trubisky trade value?
