  1. So is it fair to say that safety and linebacker are the weakest position in the draft? I see you only have 5 rbs in the top 100, and 3 tight ends, with 4 lbs. 

     

    Safety is a need. And I've seen many slated all over but I don't think it is fair to judge what a safety would do with our coaching. We seem to polish the most out of our talent there.  Linebacker is a sneaky need for us. But not a top 100 need.

     

    Either way, my point is quality players in the last 3-5 years have trended toward offense in a very heavy way. 

  2. I've heard several people on NFL coverage mentioned the colts moving up to get Harrison Jr. Evidently or say made some comments along that line as well. I could see the colts doing something like that

  5. i keep reading these reports on players so i went and found a tape measure at work. at my tallest in HS i was just at 6'3". i'm just under 6'1 5/8" now with old age.

     

    my arms are both about 30 1/2". i was curious how'd i'd compare because i never measured. i should probably be a 1st round pick.

    This happens all the time.  Players whine about being disrespected by teams saying they will take them and then don't.

     

    Randy Moss built a whole career out of telling everyone Dallas said they would take him and then they didn't and he still talks about it.

    Nice Article from Joe Buscaglia on where the bills are and how that effects the draft.

  8. Re: the Leggette situation where he said he was going to be drafted by the Panthers. Teams tell TONS of players they're getting him. Gronk said a bunch of teams said they were going to get him and passed, for example.

  9. we drafted only one guy with a hyphenated name. so tha'ts a plus in my books.

     

    #nevertrustthehyphen.

     

     

    Also... i don't mind these mock drafts. it gets us to look at people we may never pay attention to and learn about who's out there.

  10. Does any serious person who has the ability to think critically listen to NPR? I don't know of anyone who enjoys NPR who doesn't mouth pump the Democratic narrative.

     

    NPR is just fine but it shouldn't receive federal funding. The problem with truly open left leaning democratic entertainment venues is they do not survive. Specifically on radio. Not when every alphabet on the television carries the same mantra.

    I know nothing about North Carolina state income taxes, but here's how it works for federal income taxes:

     

    From https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc419

    _______________________________________________________________

     

    "Gambling winnings

    A payer is required to issue you a Form W-2G, Certain Gambling Winnings if you receive certain gambling winnings or have any gambling winnings subject to federal income tax withholding. You must report all gambling winnings on Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR (use Schedule 1 (Form 1040)PDF), including winnings that aren't reported on a Form W-2GPDF. When you have gambling winnings, you may be required to pay an estimated tax on that additional income. For information on withholding on gambling winnings, refer to Publication 505, Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax.

     

    Gambling losses

    You may deduct gambling losses only if you itemize your deductions on Schedule A (Form 1040) and kept a record of your winnings and losses. The amount of losses you deduct can't be more than the amount of gambling income you reported on your return. Claim your gambling losses up to the amount of winnings, as "Other Itemized Deductions."

                                                                                         * * * * *

    Recordkeeping

    To deduct your losses, you must keep an accurate diary or similar record of your gambling winnings and losses and be able to provide receipts, tickets, statements, or other records that show the amount of both your winnings and losses. Refer to Publication 529, Miscellaneous Deductions for more information."

    ________________________________________________________________

     

    So if your "guy" doesn't itemize deductions, he will definitely have to pay federal income taxes on his gross winnings, not just his net outcome.  If he itemizes deductions, he might only have to pay federal income taxes on his net winnings, but even that requires record keeping that most folks probably don't bother with.

    He does not itemize. I have told him he needs to work to be able to itemize. But he's stupid. So, tax season will be fun next year.

    Interesting considering there were rumors about him trying to sell the Sabres yesterday

    i was told early in the bills season by a trusted source of first hand knowledge those rumors were not true. i do not think this person was accurate.

     

    anyone doing this needs to have the ability to purchase the team as a whole should Pegs want to sell it.
