  1. this is like Eddleman's thumb injury. Just giving a vet some time off. Lets the rookie and Yeldon get work.
  2. this is bizarre. all is says is "an incident in 2017?" And all the scrutiny on Hill and then nothing. This comes out of nowhere. Perhaps just more ESPN coverage of Hill b/c everyone knows who he is despite Reed being a great player, but the NFL needs to control the messaging better.
  3. eh. I can't stand Brady, but it was smart of him to hold her, otherwise she could have jumped too-close. As for him "dragging her," that's the point of holding her, to make sure she gets far enough away from the "cliff" during the jump.
  4. Wasn't Quinnen a bit of a one year wonder at Bama? I don't watch as much college football as most, but a bunch of mocks last year had Oliver as the #1 pick. He may be better than Quinnen, who had the benefit of a loaded D.
  5. perhaps some middle-ground. Training camp bodies so Milano can ease his way back into it, and not be overextended too early?
  6. Bledsoe. Had a fun first year, and if it's a better deal than the Henry jersey, I'd do it. Can't lose either way, take the better deal ! Had Paup as a kid also. Don't know what I did with it, think I donated it to Goodwill. Wish I still had it. Would love a Kenneth Davis one!
  7. I wonder if this guy was even on our board. If the player/agent is creating the issue, that's ridiculous with the rookie wage scale. perhaps a dysfunctional marriage made for the enjoyment of Bills fans
  8. great signing. Secondary depth was missing about 2 years ago. Now, we have it. Very important.
  9. Who is this twitter poster. He ADMITS that Foster is the best WR, then suggests trading him because, well, others are making more?!?!? That's not how you win games. They'd trade Jones or Beasly first. But, keep them all. Depth is your friend!
  10. who was the guy we had, in the secondary, a few years ago pointing at the other player while the other team scored a TD? He basically gave up on the play.... that was a signature move right there.
  11. unless you are the NYJ's, or Oakland Raiders. They would overpay for a RB. There is always someone who will! Watching Bell get hammered this year will be satisfying. The Steelers line is the reason he was able to do his dance step, then forward move. May not have that time in NYJ. And won't have it when Oliver is coming for you! Same with Zeke. Dude has a great OL. Gordon, on the other hand, usually has a suspect OL. What would he look like behind a good OL.
  12. its treatable, generally with blood thinners, which create issues in a contact sport like football. could lead to uncontrollable bleeding, I think. I'm not a Dr, however.
  13. I think their backup Eckler performed decently last year. Gordon may have little leverage. Wonder what LAC would give for Shady, Gore, or Yeldon? I could see LAC going after Duke Johnson if Gordon holds out. Although the Browns likely don't want to trade him to someone they view as a possible playoff opponent. Ture, but that is an improving OL. I'd imagine Ekeler looks better this year. Pair Ekeler with Johnson, Shady, or Yeldon and you have basically what you have with Gordon. Perhaps even better due to injury bug that hits Gordon.
  14. is Fucillo still doing his "HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE" THING>?
  15. his rushing yards make him a starter by themselves, then consider the added weapons. Yeah, I"m taking him. Esp. in my 2 QB league. I think he finishes the year a top 10 Fantasy QB at worst.
  16. this. Allen needs to be healthy for a proper analysis. I think Extend happens with playoffs or a 10 win season even w/o playoffs. I think under 6 wins with a healthy team is hot-seat time.
  17. yeah, extending Foster might be smart if he continues to play well, same with Wallace.
  18. exactly. In the off chance that Ford is a bust, he will say, "I called it all along." If he works and is a stud, everyone will forget he made this ridiculous comment.
  19. I like our chances with either guy. Might actually be easier to play Eli. Lots of tape on him.
  20. another interesting point is that many drown in the water because swimming was not as universally taught in the US as it is today. Many did not know how to swim. Also the Navy and Air Force had a difficult time clearing the German guns from the beach where the landing took place. The Navy actually had a battle of its own: https://www.usni.org/magazines/naval-history-magazine/2004/june/gallant-destroyers-d-day
  21. We should honor the men who fought that day (and others preceding and following in that great conflict) by enjoying the liberty they sacrificed to give us. Here is a quote from a news article I recently read: Helen Patton, a granddaughter of famed American tank commander Gen. George S. Patton Jr., is back in Normandy for the 75th anniversary with a message that younger generations should enjoy the liberties so many soldiers fought and died for. Presiding Monday at a game of American football played close to the landing beaches, she quoted from a poem written by her grandfather during World War I to convey the idea that part of honoring those sacrifices is relishing life: "When I sit in my tank and wait for the hour for the great barrage to come down, I wish to god there was one more day for raising hell in town."
  22. Ike Letter.pdf Letter from Ike to Troops and photo of Ike with paratroopers. Ike kept this photo above his desk for years following D-Day. Ike Photo.pdf
  23. This was sent out yesterday at 4:54 pm EST by a Judge in the Federal Court for the Western District of PA. It's well written: "Dear Colleagues, At this hour 75 years ago, 2245 hours British Double Summer Time, June 5, 1944, the paratroopers of the American 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions, along with the their British and Canadian comrades in arms, began to lift off from air bases in England to serve as the "pathfinders" for the D-Day invasion. They were soon followed by other Airborne troops in unarmed gliders. Knowing of the toll that they would soon endure, General Eisenhower personally visited with them as they prepared to board the C-47 cargo planes that would deliver them to France. These men (and back then they were all men) were almost all 20 years old or younger, and were tasked with dropping behind enemy lines on the Normandy peninsula, in the middle of the night, to secure the landing zones and to open pathways inland for the tens of thousands of troops that would soon land by sea. They sustained extensive casualties. They would become the first soldiers to land in occupied France to begin the battle that would free that country and the world from the grip of tyranny. We are all the fortunate beneficiaries of their bravery and sacrifice in that Great Crusade, and now, 75 years later, the very last of them are fading from our view. I would urge all of us, in our own way, to take a moment away from our vital work on behalf of the Nation to reflect on their service to the cause of freedom."
