  1. This is not the first time, nor will it be the last, that public money will be used to support private enterprise. The hope is that the money was well spent for the greater good of the community. Let's hope the new stadium generates additional private development, creating growth for the region. That being said, I believe the public investment in a new stadium for Western New York makes sense. However, I think what would have made a better use of public money would have been to increase the investment and build the stadium in Buffalo with a dome.

  2. Based on the guaranteed amount in this agreement, and not knowing the specifics of the contract, it appears to me to be a 7.5 mil/yr deal with incentives.

  4. I thought it was a little boring, and I'm glad it was. I don't want to see anything that could be a distraction from the preparation for the season. That being said, I doubt Hard Knocks will keep the rest of the episodes as vanilla.

  5. Very Good!! Didn't want to see a holdout over something that will soon be the norm in the NFL. With college football going from amateur to professional status, I envision the first three rounds of draftees receiving fully guaranteed rookie contracts. Who knows, maybe all draftees will get fully guaranteed rookie contracts.

  6. I doubt gambling will ruin the NFL. I can see a scandal or two happening, but they will probably bring in some type of reform and all will move on. On the other hand, if CTE isn’t handled effectively, I can envision the elimination of the three point stance,and the NFL eventually becoming a flag football league.

  7. If I were a GM, I would be banging the desk to hire the best group of scouts money could buy. A GM's career primarily hinges on the talent he brings to the team, either through the Draft or free agency. I would not be pinching pennies with this group.

  8. I'm not sure in today's NFL, Cook is a 15 mil/yr back. But I do believe that the Pro Bowl player on our offense with the 2nd most touches of the ball, 2nd most TD's, 3rd most receptions, and rushed for over 1000 yards is worth at least Josh Palmer and Khalil Shakir money. That would put him at a minimum in the 12 mil/yr, 60 mil 4-year contract range.

  9. Pitts wants to be paid based on his college statistics and measurables. Atlanta wants to pay him based on his performance over the last three years in the NFL. I don't think Beane would want to take on this negotiation.
