Awesome... CC predicted Jacksonville as 5-11 for 2017.

No choice?!? Ridiculous. Awful look for the franchise if they cut a player who turns out to be falsely accused. The Bills need to be patient with this, and if it extends into the season, so be it.

Tre' Williams (OLB Auburn) was picked up as an UDFA by the Jets this year. Maybe they cut him and we can bring him on board.

As for a rich and long record of SCOTUS decisions, I can cite precedence on rulings involving governmental bodies and jurisdictions in which compelled speech was ruled against, but I have not yet run across a case involving a private or public corporation. I am not saying there aren't any, only that I have not seen one. It's possible there are many. To your second point, I agree and should have worded my response more carefully. They cannot mandate whatever speech they, so thank you for calling me out on that. There are clearly limits bound by sedition and imminent danger and likely others.

The Supreme Court has ruled otherwise, and Corporate Personhood has been established. Corporations are treated as unique entities, just like a person, and are provided similar protections. Hobby Lobby was protected under the 1st Amendment in respect to avoiding laws that were in conflict with the corporate religious beliefs. If Burger King mandated those greetings it also be protected under the 1st Amendment with the free speech clause. They may go out of business if they did that, but it would be protected. The NFL can mandate whatever speech they like and it will be protected. Players can choose to drop out of the league, or fans can stop supporting the league and put them out of business.

$35M in Dead Money is gonna impact the quality of your depth. Opens some opportunities for the younger less expensive players. Here's hoping some of them take advantage and make a name for themselves. CORRECTION - $46M with the release of EW.

Just curious, where are you getting those stats from? I ask because I've spent time looking for them, but can only seem to find the standard REC, YDS, YDS per REC, AVG, TDs. I'd appreciate a link or a reference that has stats for targets and drops.

Yes, you are absolutely correct. However, the OP stated "It's obvious that we need some speed and someone that can get down the field." We have those guys in camp so it's not obvious. To your point. I completely agree with you, straight line speed in shorts is not enough. Great hands, route running ability, speed in and out of cuts, ability to get separation off the line, willingness to go over the middle, ability to understand offensive concepts, desire to put in the film study work. Those things make or break a receiver.

Exactly This. 5 Guys in camp sub 4.49 speed. 10 guys under 4.55 speed. Tyler Locket 4.40 as the comparison. Robert Foster 4.41 Zay Jones 4.45 (coming off surgery, so may be slower) Rod Streater 4.46 Brandon Reilly 4.47 Austin Proehl 4.47 Quan Bray 4.50 Kaelin Clay 4.51 Malachi Dupre 4.53 Ray-Ray McCloud 4.53 Andre Holmes 4.53 Jeremy Kerley 4.56 Kelvin Benjamin 4.61 (who knows if he can even run this fast anymore) Cam Phillips 4.79

Didn't see this link in the thread: http://www.tmz.com/2018/05/23/richie-incognito-victim-mark-dumbbell-video/ The story from the target's perspective. Strange stuff... hope RI can get some help.

If someone claims the stress of playing is literally killing them, like liver and kidney failure, you don't bring them back. Period.

If Rosen was as smart as he claims to be, he would realize 29 teams didn't want him. Once he fell to 10, every other team was in play in terms of trade with the exception of the Rams and KC. A first and next years first, or the Pats could have thrown #23 and #31. It was the Cardinals that begrudgingly made the move to get the ugly girl at the bar, and paid ZERO premium in the trade they made with Oakland.

OP must have meant the OTHER Jay Cutler as we need help on the O-Line.

Well... they outlasted the Courier-Express by 36 years.

Well done! Looking forward to the next Rant.

Starting Rob Johnson over Doug Flutie for the Tennessee playoff game.

I appreciate where you are coming from. My issue is you never say you don't deserve the backlash you get for a mistake you've made. Apologize, say you understand and deserve what you got, and hope the apology is accepted. The whole "hateful PMs weren't deserved because I didn't do it on purpose" crap gives me pause. The OP in effect tried to oddly make himself into a victim in this, so a little berating is well deserved.

So you posted that and never re-read your post? I quickly review all my posts for stuff like typos and missing words. That's why people are skeptical about your apology in that thread. To be clear, you deserve every nasty PM you got because you posted it and let it sit out there for 10 hours.

Too Soon?

Didn't see this in the thread yet, so I'll add to the hype: Why some teams didn't want Foster at the Combine: https://www.al.com/alabamafootball/index.ssf/2018/02/why_some_nfl_teams_didnt_want.html One of Foster's nicknames at Alabama: "The Road Runner." On a team full of fast players, Foster was arguably the fastest.

Rape victims are unimaginably burdened, which is why the crime is so abhorrent from both a physical and psychological perspective. The suffering doesn't end with the crime. There is no compassionate guidance for them. So when faced with two equally horrific choices, make the choice that protects others. Just to clarify the point... I believe in burdening rape victims by having them relive those painful moments to the police, doctors, nurses, the grand jury, and in open court facing their attacker. I believe it is for the betterment and protection of society and the only path to any possible closure for them, however unlikely real closure is. You seem to believe in the other choice; burdening rape victims by having them live everyday knowing that their inaction has inevitably lead to numerous more woman being raped and those rape victims now suffering through the exact same nightmares, panic attacks, and depression that they are dealing with on a daily basis. That guilt would be never ending and unbearable.

Thank you for the clarification. I incorrectly believed guilty and not guilty were the 2 legal statuses, but you are spot on and presumption of innocence is an actual legal right in many jurisdictions. Some interesting stuff in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presumption_of_innocence Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat "the burden of proof is on the one who declares, not on one who denies”

AGGRAVATED SEXUAL ASSAULT OF A CHILD? On March 15, 1996, in the middle of spring break on South Padre Island, Texas, a 21-year-old woman alleged to police. I'm confused...

You know nothing about me so please refrain from proclaiming what my opinion is on any topic. Feel free to state your opinion on whatever you like, but check your arrogance. It undermines whatever you state. Now I will state my opinion. The accuser came forward, provided evidence, and an indictment was in place. She had an obligation to testify in open court to protect other woman in society from potential future attacks if her allegations were true. That's my strong opinion. I hope we are clear. Everyone, men or woman or non-binaries, should come forward to report sexual assault to protect the rest of society. But... the accused deserve their day in court to vigorously defend themselves. This never happened, and now they author is digging this up punish the Patricia in the court of public opinion. I find it appalling. And for the record for you and the author - Patricia is not innocent in the court of law. No one is ever found innocent. You are declared guilty or not guilty, but he is neither as this never went to trial.
