    aside from the fact that this guy is simply a common criminal, how money can one actually make selling weed?  like, his pension has got to be a few hundo a year, and he musta netted like 12MM plus as a player.  

     

    most of these guys have terminal stupidity and it's just a question of what particular idiot move is going to do them in.

    According to Overthecap.com he earned over $21MM during his NFL Career.  Have to assume its all gone up in smoke.

    I agree, but a question: does GD look like he has a "play thru it" injury, like turf toe or something?

     

    He's running....funny. Seems to have a hitch in his giddy-up. Even seen it in practice vids.

     

    Maybe just me, but he still looks a little off.

    On the 35 yard toe tap, he outran the DB's, Josh underthrew the ball, which was batted and Davis grabbed it falling OOB while being interfered with.

    I was surprised Josh didn’t see him, and unsure of what Breida’s responsibility was there. What I know for sure was my neighbors had to hear me as that went down. At times like that you want a Paul Bunyan playing QB for you!  OUCH! 

    I clocked that sack at 2.8 seconds, Brieda might not have realized he had the assignment, but Josh had plenty of time to get rid of the ball.  I suspect he will realize that in the film room this week.  Very lucky it was a db on a blitz, and not a 275 pound DE.

    The one thing I couldn't understand yesterday was why were the Jets playing single coverage against Diggs. Their secondary blows and you have single coverage on Diggs. LOL Jets. The 57 yard pass that got the Bills down to the Jets 20 that they eventually scored and made it 17-3. WTF was Saleh thinking. He is supposed to a defensive minded coach.

    Esp since the starting corner got hurt and they had to plug in Guidry, and then they asked him to play single coverage against the Bills #1 receiver?? Defensive genius coach ????

  5. This is from August of this year: 

    SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints renewed its prior calls to members to get a COVID-19 vaccine and to wear face masks in public gatherings Thursday.

    Church leaders said in a statement that available vaccines have proven to be both safe and effective and urged members to help limit the spread of the virus. The message was the latest in a series of statements from church leaders encouraging vaccination efforts against COVID-19.

    First Von Miller, now Odell Beckham Jr. 

     

    Where is the money coming from? Further proof that the salary cap is a myth?

    We pay Dion Dawkins $11MM per season, they pay Aaron Donald $14MM. They have 10 players with Cap hits above $5MM, we have 16 players with Cap hits above $5MM. Bills JAG's with cap hits above $5MM include Addison, Klein, and Butler.

  7. Yes, I worked in payroll [troops really appreciate getting paid correctly], spent time at Beale which was a SR-71, KC-135, and B-52 base, KI Sawyer which was a KC-135 and B-52 base, and U-Tapao Thailand, which had KC-135's and B-52.  You should thank the tanker pilots as well, they give our aircraft nearly unlimited range.

    Those B-52's in Iraq were flying 7,000 mile round trips.

  8. Then there's the issue that we have a 69 year old on-field referee.  Please don't tell me that he's as fit and quick thinking as someone quite a bit younger. 

     

    The refereeing crew is dealing with world class athletes in mainly their 20's and 30's.  Colonels in the military have to retire when they are in their 50's.

  9. Truthfully Taunting [very subjective call] should just be a fine, perhaps escalating for repeat offenses.  Penalizing a team for an action by one player that has nothing to do with the play is IMHO idiotic.  Yes the players are very well paid, but perhaps a taunting penalty of $25K first offense, $100K second, and one game suspension for a third or subsequent would cure this without affecting the game being played.  Same thing with non-contact unsportmanlike. 

     

    Who knows how many of these are because the ref is having a bad day, had a bad travel experience on the way to the game, or is under the sway of people who want to influence the game outcome [Remember Tim Donaghy in the NBA]. 

     

    IMHO The Tre White penalty kerfuffle against Jax falls into this category.

     

    The other thing is the subjectivity of holding calls.  If the holding on the Derrick Henry TD in the Tenn game didn't rise to the level of a flag, then that should become the new standard example for not calling holding.  Right now a ref could call holding on every single play, likely on both the offense and the defense, but they pick and choose.
