I didn't write that real well being a little under the influence after seeing the great Robert Cray in concert. In saying that, you can pound sand.

I love that he's back on this team. I know he's not an all pro LB or anything but there will never be a time I don't love a MLB that can stop the run.

I just spend the evening with a friend who was in 10th Mountain during Black Hawk Down. I was talking to him about this thread and he can't believe how many people under appreciate what he went through.

It's like 10,000 spoons and we have a knife.

Racism can't entirely be dealt with because you can't force people to change their hearts. Black people have more opportunity now than any other time in history. They also have never had more freedom to speak outwardly about it - not to say they don't get judged for it - but they certainly don't get the punishment of past generations. I just wish they would see that as a positive for themselves and start being appreciative to the country. Debate will always be there and it's why we're great and free. Black people are involved in that debate and it's a great thing. Even if we disagree with each other on substance at times. To have more hate than ever in history is not the answer - just because you're able.

Yeah that was my take. It was inadvertent but when a large man lands on your head it's dangerous. I think those are the type of plays that get overlooked on how dangerous the game is.

People are changing their minds in this country like never before.

Not necessarily. We don't know one way or the other.

Great, great, great way of putting it

There's the viewpoint it's disrespectful to what a lot of people hold dear in this country - he has a right to say I don't care, I'm not standing to stand up for this - others have a right to say well then I don't think you deserve this country - he has a right to live here

It was a great time and much respect to Ralph Wilson - but it's a new era and I'm ready to embrace the change. Not turning back for a minute.

Theisman was terrible so I was able to switch to the Bills broadcast on the NFL pass. Damn Murphy even though he's our guy is just for me, exhausting to listen to. I thought about switching back.

I could absolutely see him getting cut.

Probably a bit premature but every year we go through who our surprise cuts are. Who's yours? Offense - I'm going with Goodwin. I think the last not contact injury was the final straw. Hope for him to be able to stay on the field has to be dwindled. Defense - Robey-Coleman. I just get this feeling that he's in trouble.

I already think they're better.

Yeah, you're starting to get a boring with this broken record.

I wish I knew how much influence agents have on players. I get the feeling the agents guilt the players into doing things like this.

Karlos is going to look back and say damn - if I would have kept myself straight I could have played with one of the great young QB's in the game - Tyrod Taylor.

Look, I understand what you're saying and we're not that far off. I think the important part of your post is give your all in practice - especially in the film room. It's become a thinking man's game as the game has evolved along with the physicality. These guys are getting stronger, bigger and more athletic. Unfortunately the joints don't get bigger so it's an injury ridden game. The pre-season to me is get the starters a little action to feel the game speed again and for others to make the team. I don't want my known starters to go crazy and get hurt but play hard and smart. I think you'll agree those trying to make the team should go all out.

It's not about them. I'ts about Badol actually thinking he's the best talent evaluator of the 3. They've studied film on the players and so has Badol - he literally believes folks should side with him - prior to either of them playing in the NFL - that they f'd up missing what he see's so clearly. It's hilarious and you're the sheep.

It amazes me that you think your smarter than Whaley and Monos.

I find it ridiculous that you should give everything you have in game 3 of the pre-season - in the event the world ends and someone finds your game film. They went 6-10, 10-6, 4-12 and 7-9 while he was in Detroit. Didn't work apparently.

It's mental warfare being a place kicker. I've said it in another thread - that it really bothers me that Rex is messing with Carp again. You don't do it to kickers unless you absolutely have to for competition purposes.

and he's proven he can play in the league
