Wait. THATS Brady's girlfriend? Seriously? That's the one everyone says is so damn hot? She's good looking but damn, he could've done better.
Slightly masculine features aside, she's a 5'11" Brazilian supermodel worth $300M. I don't think he could have found a better beard if he tried.

Britt's had 9 run ins with the law since joining the NFL he'll give us street cred
Whew, I'm relieved to find out this thread is about a delinquent wide receiver. For a minute I thought they were going after one of those smarmy limies.

Stop leering at the children, Tommy! After your little pansy dance at Carnival, people are starting to talk.

I'm in... same sentiments, different drummer...

LOL, at least that's a good tasting high ABV beer! IPAs and Barley Wines are awesome for that - my favorite tasting beers plus huge ABV. The hoppier the better.
In college, before I discovered good beer, it was Steel Reserve as the high ABV haha.

...MC?

Was Switzer's point of view ever relevant? He was a validation of Jimmy Johnson's collection of talent... an (almost) English speaking version of a crap flinging monkey with a team on autopilot... more social experiment than coach. How 'bout dem Cowboyz.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Can't tell if I should bite or not. Sarcasm here?
You can't tell when you're being smoothered with sarcasm? You prefer your taunts with a few more wrinkles?

It doesn't matter how you view him, his value in a trade will be as a starter. Any team that trades for this guy is gonna view him as a starter. He won't be traded for less than a 2nd rounder, maybe a third cuz it is the redskins.
The OP suggested Thad Lewis and a 6th or Dennis Dixon (practice squad) and a 5th. You'd be lucky to acquire Gibran Hamdan for that price.
No way Thad Lewis, Dennis Dixon, a 5th and a 6th gets you Hamdan... all that Chroise don't come cheap.

Dr Trooth, you ignorant misnomer. My personality profile is not at issue here, any more than is your inability to achieve orgasm. The issue is the Bills. How can we expect to have the confidence of any football team when we stab one of our most faithful allies in the back. I suppose you'd like us to conduct our football fandom the way you conduct your private life, hopping from bed to bed with anyone that can do you some good. Then what do you have? An old, dried-out scuzz that no decent football team would want as a fan. Is that what you want for the Bills? It's too late for you, "Trooth", but our fanbase still has some dignity left, you hosebag!
But I suppose that sort of fashionable promiscuity means nothing to someone like you, Trooth, who hops from bed to bed with the frequency of a cheap ham radio.

very true, and most would say that they held all the cards, since even an unproven Rivers would have brought draft picks.... this is really a win- win.
Lest we forget that they didn't actually draft Rivers, but instead got picks and Rivers in exchange for Eli, whom they did draft. Talk about a GM playing with house money.

I didn't see the game. How did the Bills D return an INT for a TD and FG sans PAT in one play?

I had to check twice to verify that wasn't posted on The Onion.

We would never have been this bad if Wade Phillips would have just worn an effing headset.

I was surrounded by a bunch of crazy people that just watched their Cincinnati bengals go to the playoffs again this season. These people suffered for decades watching the bungles.. They know their football and they were more pissed off then I was when they saw it. L
Of course they were more pissed. Bengals get the 2nd seed if we beat NE*. We get... to feel a little less frustrated about the season?

I know. The view sucks... But the risk of having a drunken ad executive land on your head is much less up here.

Though he will never say why, Kiko admits that he is reason that Ritchie is Incognito.

That's where I saw the leprechaun, he tells me to burn things.
The doctor said I wouldn't have so many nosebleeds if I kept my finger out of there.

My cats breath smells like cat food.
These berries taste like burning.

What goes unreported is the huge number of concussions suffered by soccer players. I don't remember the figures but compared to Pop Warner, it was much higher. I don't know of studies on hockey, lacrosse, rugby, field hockey, etc., but they must up there too. You can add boxing, MMA, et al. Fact is, head injuries are wide spread throughout sports and many other activities. For some reason I don't understand, football has been singled out.
4) Hype. Which among those sports is more recognizable to a larger audience than the NFL? 5) Resources. If you were looking to fund your research, which of these sports would you choose?1) Money
2) looks scary
3) willing plaintiffs

RE CTE
Hit your head a lot and you're going to damage something. I have no doubt that I have some lingering ailments from my younger sports days. And I am only 32. These guys doing it for 20 years of their life... of course. Just like carpenters have hand problems. And cashiers have sore knees and feet. And desk workers are a little heavier with bad backs. And so on and so forth. cTE is awful and I hate it for them but with anything in life there is risk. Anyone who doesn't understand that doesn't need to and can go on in their happy little life.
CTE in 10% of the entire NFL population? Is that about right? Is there an accurate number anywhere? Are they only going to count vested NFL players? What about the 2-3 year players that never made the Union and can't really be considered?
Not sure if you're headed down this path as vehemently as I am, but here is my take.
In the US in 2013, 5300 people in 100,000 between the ages of 65 and 74 were diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. 17000 in 100,000 between the ages of 75 and 84. It's one of the most common diseases of aging. According to the Deadspin article, the PET imaging that is being done to "diagnose" CTE uses the same markers that are being studied to "diagnose" Alzheimer's, but the pattern is different??? They're looking at middle aged former athletes with anger issues and depression who spent a third of their lives hitting their heads against a wall and saying that because the findings on an unvalidated test are more localized, instead of the diffuse findings on this unvalidated test that you would see in an older population with Alzheimer's, that this must be reflective of CTE and not Alheimer's? You can't diagnose Alzheimer's with a PET scan, but now you can diagnose CTE???
I'm not disputing CTE exists. I'm not disputing the value of the work that is being done on it. I AM disputing the significance of how the "facts" of this condition are being reported. And I AM disputing that any person who ever got hit in the head and has an amyloid plaque or some abnormal Tau deposition has CTE. People age... therefore, brains age...and aging results in abnormalities, regardless of whether or not you spent your life in a bubble or hitting your head against a concrete wall. Search the scholarly literature for anything other than descriptive data on CTE and you come up empty. And before 2010, barely any literature existed at all.
Right now, IMO, this is essentially an irresponsible paparazzi driven whirlwind because of who it is affecting and how this story is being told.

What is sadder?
a) That I have a Jeff Tuel jersey?
b) That he already changed his #?
c) That we would have won this game with a healthy Thad Lewis?
Not that I don't have faith in Tuel, obviously...
Please tell me that it doesn't hang in the closet next to your Tyler Thigpen, Levi Brown and Brian Brohm jerseys.

^^ My impression of Dick Jauron ranting.^^
Preceded by slight **sigh** and accompanied by utter lack of facial expression.

I clicked to type nearly the exact same. 180 yards, 1 td- 2 ints and a fumble was my most likely outcome.
Seems about right. IMO, if his passes attempted exceed the teens we're screwed. Gotta go back to the Ravens gameplan.
Sad, but, funny comments

Definitely wide right. In hindsight, it was the only one we should have won.
