I did. Not because I think they're better than the Bills... but because I think they'll be the second wildcard team.

I'm not going to cheer this until Brady says that he's not taking it to court. Maybe I'm just too cynical... but I don't want to disappoint myself

So basically... Republicans and Democrats can be blamed and given credit for both the good and the bad.

Interesting.

Actually the decline started earlier due to other factors, and combined with changing economic conditions. Like usual this isn't a "rah rah Obama" or a "hah hah Obama" moment.

Probably, but they don't have much of a choice... there aren't that many good QBs in the league. Wilson qualifies as good, but not so good that he can carry a bad team to the Superbowl.

Yeah, I'm taking everything with a grain of salt... I still fully expect the NFL to overturn it in the end AND give the Patriots a reward

Innocent people totally do that.

Who would you have gotten at QB this offseason?

I was so pumped up after watching it haha

Ugh, the worst. 4 picks, and all we got was the worst WR taken in the first round, he can't even take a hit without complaining that his ribs are broken. Ugh.

A plus here... Only real fault of the team is missing a QB, but there weren't exactly hall of famers available.

Yet his twitter handle is OBJ....

This guy isn't a bust. Sammy is, though.

Why do people keep using "ODB" when it's "OBJ"?

Yeah, I always had a really good experience when there (what was the bar called?). I was there for the Bills comeback against the Pats a couple years ago, and hurt my throat by screaming so damned loud hahaha

Holy crap, that's cool... I used to get emails from her all the time because I frequented the Bills Backers bar up there when dating my ex in Philly.

Edit: No way to get a direct link it seems, that's annoying.

I'm actually surprised we don't do some preseason games there still. Money was good, and I think it helped regionalize a little... it'll help even more when the Bills start kicking ass and taking names

So if a player needs a "second chance" does that mean they're a bust? If so, how many 1st round 'busts' have we had now

I may or may not be in the minority on this, but the fact players can get suspended for much longer for relatively stupid things that have no impact on the actual games cements that Brady should be given a severe penalty, imo. BUT the NFL doesn't work like that, so you're right in that 4 games is on the high side of things, and 1 or 2 games at most would be in line.

I wouldn't consider a minor reduction to be a Brady 'win', it sounds like they are trying to get the whole thing thrown out, which is why I think they shouldn't bother with rules if that's the case. If a player and a team are caught cheating multiple times, you'd think the league would drop the hammer in a big way, not kitty foot around like they are. Of course I say all of this with the utmost bias. I'm generally tired of it. I want it resolved one way or another so I can be angry or happy, and then move on!
