Open container laws aren’t terribly strict in that they’re a misdemeanor not a moving violation and can be expunged. There is an as equal of a chance that this was just unfortunate and he is a dumb dumb. Not just that he was smashed and driving all over the road as a bunch of posters seem to be suggesting.

I am not excusing it. He was dumb enough to have some beers and another in the car. Just trying to provide some color on what it’s like to drive a trailer through construction. Also to give some insight into how quick people are to call and report any trailer driving. Again, I’ve had calls while towing a non DOT load for just being in the left lane and passing.

There is a strong possibility that since this was reported in a construction zone that he wasn’t uncontrollably swerving, rather trying to stay away from the medians/no shoulder. I used to drive about 45k trailer miles per year. Although a much bigger load. I’ve done a couple cross country trips with it as well. 40 foot open trailer, 60 foot load (over hang), 13 feet high, with a pick up. I used to swap lanes all the time at night if there wasn’t much traffic and their was no shoulder. It’s not the greatest to navigate. You would also be surprised at what people will call you in on when you’re towing. I have had two calls to my employer, which they would had to google because our number wasn’t on the truck. Both just for just being in the right lane. I would be going 80 plus not holding up traffic at all.

As a dude who drove a trailer, although bigger, Driving through construction with out a shoulder and with a median and cones can be a pain and I’d swap lanes all the time at night if there isn’t much traffic.

This is weird to me too. I’m not condoning the open container. But why not put it in a cup holder and say it was somebody else’s. But really it’s only only like a $100 fine and no points in NYS anyways. I had an ADA friend tell me that if you were to get pulled over over the legal limit. Before the cop comes over, get out of your car, open a fresh bottle of booze and start chugging. Can’t prove you were drunk when driving and it’s on video you pulled a bottle out and drank outside of your car. It’s a ballsy move. I’d just prefer not to be smashed while driving. I am wondering if I his was part of the play in not putting the bottle in the back. Opens beer in front of cop. Invalidates breathalyzer/blood test bought him time at the very least.

I’ll add to this. From an ADA in Buffalo. Open container while driving is a non-moving violation. 0 points. 99.9% of the time will only result in a ticket for about $100.

Nearly 60% of college players are black. Nearly 70% of the NFL are black. When thousands work through the highest levels of the sport (NCAA, NFL) you should see more representation on the coaching and FO side just by the sheer proportions. There was a time when black kids weren’t QB’s because “they weren’t the most qualified”. Women see the same problem. Most HC for women’s sports are men. It’s not that there aren’t enough qualified women. That is borderline insulting.

One good move I like in this is removing restrictions from assistance to interview as coordinators. It was silly to begin with DC/OC is clearly a promotion from DL, CB, QB etc. coach.

Right. OK, improving draft stock seems a bit like over correcting too far. But in an African American dominated sport the lack of racial diversity is appalling. This may be the wrong solution, but instead of people whining about it, what is the proper route. Because “just hire the most qualified regardless of race” is not working, and historically has never worked in America.

He was in his twilight for sure, but he did play on a 6-10 Houston team with David Carr as his QB. I never realized that we took that pick and grabbed Kyle Williams. 2007 the Titans were 10-6 with Kerry Collins/Vince Young. Surprisingly Moulds had the second most receptions from the WR Corp with a whopping 32. He retired after. He was toast. It’s like the dude chased bad QBs.

RB's are the fastest guys on the field most of the time. Ours both ran 4.6's at the combine. It is going to hurt your rankings for over speed of your starters at skill positions. Name: 40 time (average) Allen: 4.75 (4.93) Diggs: 4.46 (4.48) Beasley: 4.54 (4.48) Brown: 4.34 (4.48) Singletary: 4.66 (4.49) Moss: 4.65 (4.49) Knox: 4.85 (4.7) Kroft: 4.67 (4.7)

I’ll add on here. I was understanding of the trade. Not terrible, not great. I have a mild issue with it. Our WR Corp was bad. I’m not sure we had the luxury to trade Sammy at the time. I feel bad for Watkins. I wasn’t aware of his history. There’s a lot of baggage. His lizard king, demon inhabiting, world is flat views aren’t why he spiraled in Buffalo. It just makes him a super weird dude.His spiral is because he has a number of life changing experiences that seem like they were never dealt with until he was on his own. Not terribly uncommon. I feel for the kid. I hope he feels whole again. Our front office does preach process, “come to Buffalo and be the best version of yourself”, and family, but they've seemed to turn their back on players with some serious baggage in pretty short order. Which is fine to a certain extent. It’s professional sports and my boss isn’t cutting me slack for my baggage. But my boss isn’t taking the opportunity to tell the world that he can help me do anything other than pay my bills.

Everybody should write simply so the masses can understand it. Everybody should also be concise. Here is the big kicker that seems to be missed on the OP. Everybody should have a GD point (and get to it quickly) that is conveyed cleanly.

My favorite part about this new post is that he rants about what he meant the original to be about, but still provides us with no real information or summary. A simple "Bishop was glad RJ started that game because A, B, C" would go a long way and have kept the other thread open. Then he makes the same exact mistake twice. At this point I am not listening to it out of principal until the OP provides even the tiniest piece of insight. Act like a brat, get treated like a brat.

I am definitely too busy/lazy at the moment, but you can't adjust the Bills number and not the rest of the league, and state ranking change. They are what they are compared to the league, and everybody gets the bump or nobody does. They might jump 2 spots at best, but they also might just stay the same. Even when accounting for "adjusted" numbers across the league, Buffalo does not see a ton of movement in rankings compared to other franchises. Buffalo does not jump after adjusting everybody between 23 and 16: Indy Arizona Carolina Chargers Cleveland And is close with since exact numbers aren't provided, with: Detroit NYJ

I mean, Jimmy G had 15 more passes, 7 less drops on the season than Josh, and threw for 900 more yards. JG completed 69% of his passes and was top half in the league in total completed passes. They were incredibly efficient through the air to say the least.

I hope that it is all or nothing for the NFL and not by region. Where NY, Mchigan, Cali teams have to hold off because of state restrictions, but the Falcons can hold camp business as usual. The NFL needs to level the playing field for the season. It is in the best interest of the product.

WHHAAAAATTTT? Our Uni's are easily top 5 in the league. Why would we change them, they are awesome. God, this made them even worse.

That is an ownership decision not a manufacturer decision. I would assume anyways. NYG, Dallas, GB, etc. have not had any real uniform changes in decades.

Unsure who makes these decisions. I assume that Nike creates a couple of options for owners, marketing, etc. to decide from. This is less on Nike and more on ownership I think.

I could look past the weird fading colors for the numbers if they never changed the horns on the helmet.

Guilty of not reading the article and only reading the OP. I was going of Cal and UCLA which are PAC-12 schools. While not dominant they have players just not enough of them. If the PAC-12 cuts the season I stand by my post. Otherwise, you are 100% right. Agreed. Maybe some movement in the lower ranked schools. But nothing near the top get effected...unless kids decide to transfer. I am guessing you lose some from the ACC but they play on, PAC-12 eventually cancels. The league will to the way of the B1G. While a power conference UM, OSU, Wisco, are all very good schools academically regardless of politics. They still may cancel.

And they could be...if it wasn’t for the SEC and ACC. Based on regions depending on which way the big 10 schools go will be the real kicker. Students will get another year of eligibility if they choose to wait it out. From the sounds of it the PAC-12 will eventually call it quits on the year. Which means there is no inter conference transfer issues. If programs jump on this right, you could see some power teams for the areas of the country that stay open. If I were say Georgia and I had any kids not committed yet, with some money still available, I’d be jumping on starting guys from cancelled programs for weak spots on my roster. Also UCLA and UW are good schools. Even if you don’t have money, I’m sure they have some pull to get them academic money.

Fair point. A little chick and egg. Both sides have some validity. Robert Woods has a near identical catch rate to Antonio Brown with LAR. But sub 60% in his time in BUF.

If you have a VPN $5 per month for the CBS and/or Fox app, you can just change your location to somewhere the game is being shown locally and watch it that way.
