You realize that’s a 2 way street right? It’s not just Beane wanting to, it’s Tre and his team being willing too. They know what’s coming with the CBA too.

Honestly doesn't surprise me at all. PFF has just become laughable at their evaluations across the league.

LMAO...this is at 111 pages now? Hahaha crazy, its gonna hit 200 and be all the same arguments over and over. Its pretty simple and doesn't need 111 pages. Did Allen improve in just about every measurable statistic this year? Yes Does Allen still have areas he needs to keep improving? Yes Is he a finished product or peaked? No Is there a reason to be excited for next year? Yes There was that so hard? NOTE: Allen has had no high level coaching until he got to the Bills. Under that coaching, in the highest level of football in the world, he has continued to improve in every major category, including accuracy. For anyone to argue he cant get better, especially on accuracy, is just being foolish. He made a significant jump in accuracy this year, DESPITE: An underwhelming receiving core that included a raw rookie TE, top 3 WRs second half of the year averaging 5'10" in height, and seeing the Bills lead the league in dropped passes. Lets not forget the travesty that was Zay Jones and Robert Foster this year either. Bottom line, a heck of a lot more to be optimistic about than pessimistic right now. He isn't a finished product, but he is certainly a guy who is trending in the right directions with intangibles and gifts you cant teach.

I was just going to add this. I was ready to fight someone in the front office when I saw that stupidity. Honorable mentions: Using 9th pick in the draft to take CJ Spiller with Lynch and FJ on the roster. Whitner over Ngata Not having a true GM for so long

Ask yourself why did you click on this thread and you will have your answer.

When these young stars gonna realize you cant hoe around when married and not think one of these girls isn't gonna try and get paid off it or air your dirty laundry out to be funny or spiteful. Cant fix stupid.

She said: I blew you, so now pay me some money or I will tell everyone. He said: Go F-yourself and called her bluff. Great plan Baker, except she wasn't bluffing lol.

I’m really surprised he did it as a single entity league, not very common anymore. I stand corrected, really didn’t think he would financially guarantee a single entity league for 3 years. That’s quite the capital commitment to say the least.

I don’t think so

Yeah, read the same thing that McM has funded them for 3 years and is willing to lose money over that time until they can get to TV rev deals. Which probably confirms the existing deal is a 3 year deal. Also, McM isn't carry all the expense. Each of those individually owned teams will have had to come into the league with enough funding to also survive for 3 years (or could have been even longer like 5 years). And thats gross operations before revenue as they can't depend on revenue projections on something that hasn't launched yet. I was involved in the first year of Major League Rugby, and it was run the same way.

No new sports league will ever have any TV rights paying them money at launch, this is standard. Like MLS, MLR, AAF, etc when they started, they wont make money on their TV deals out the gate. The league/teams will pay for production of non national TV games, and the national TV games production cost will likely be covered by the network. But the network keeps all revenue. League like this usually signs a 2 or 3 year deal like this. They need the exposure to succeed, so they don't really have a choice. If the league exceeds early expectations, its not out of the question the networks will open negotiations early, but also its not likely. From what I have read, XFL is on a 3 year TV deal like this. When MLR launched in 2017, it was a 2 year deal (they just started their 3rd season in January). There is no guarantee money will be offered for the rights even when deal has expired. If the league isn't drawing enough, they would likely just extend the original deal. As does every sports league as that is a main source of revenue for a league

Those numbers are not far off to his numbers this year.

Lamb or Juedy would make sense to me, but only if they fell into double digits do I think Beane considers it just cause cost. He said he doesn’t see us as one player away, so can’t see him paying a bounty for any player to get into say top 10. But you never know

All good, I had already added a note saying you didn’t even have to reply as I could tell by other comments you answered it a lot, but you responded before I made the edit. That being said, there is almost no chance at all Beane moves up to draft Ruggs in this draft class, especially at that price.

So in the deepest WR class in years, we gave up all those picks to move up to get a WR who would have been there at 22? I just don’t see the logic in this. This feels like a personal want than an attempt to mock what Beane would actually do. Cant see any scenario where Beane trades up for Ruggs. Nothing against him, he’s a heck of a prospect, but he’s not even the consensus best WR on the board there. Note: I see from comments at current last page of this thread this has apparently been discussed a lot. So don’t feel obliged to reply. I was just floored with the unrealistic nature of this trade. All good, it’s just a mock for fun obviously. It’s just this happens all the time where whoever has the Bills pick makes some unrealistic trade in these mocks

I loved it when it happened, love it still now.

It’s such a shame that someone who worked so hard to be so great for so long has let the final best years of his career evaporate like this. What a waste of talent. Funny, I followed AB long before he went nuts on social, and I used to tell people he was weird as f***. Like on Snap chat all his stories were like him staring into camera with smiling for long periods of time no matter what he was doing. Usually while in one of his cars going somewhere or walking past fans on way to field or something. At least he barely spoke back then lol.

It’s in HBO for sure, you must have just went past it or something. But hey, Vice Principals is pretty good too. I’m also a McBride fan

Sorry for your lost, sincerest condolences, never easy to lose a parent or loved one.

103...man, what a life. Funny, I remember loving the movie as a little kid that he was in called "Tough Guys" and he was old as heck then. Never imagined he would still be alive this far along into my life.

Thanks for the info on that, it doesn't surprise me as from what I have seen of the Outsider in terms of comments and trailers, it reminded me of The Night Of.

Im about to start The Outsider this weekend probably. Not sure if this is a mini-series where it will conclude at the end of this season, or if its a show that will have multiple seasons. But, HBO has another show that was amazing that was a mini-series called "The night of" a few years ago. Definitely give that one a watch if you haven't seen yet when you are done with this series.

Season 2 is better. And the final few episodes were really good

Did you finish season 1, or did you finish seasons 1 & 2? I ask because you said (final 4 episodes). But then mention you are gonna watch season 2. The final 4 would be in season 2 as there are 2 seasons out. I finished season 2 of “You” last week. It was one of those shows that I didn’t necessary love but liked enough to finish the seasons that are out. It was ok, but the final few episodes were my favorite and good enough for me to give season 3 a go. Its kind of like a lighter, dark comedy, cheesier version of Dexter.
