I am by nature an optimist. I worry about climate change (actually, I worry about "global warming" and don't know what they stopped calling it that)
To hedge their bets in case it turned out the planet was actually cooling. Since they don't really know beyond the very, very short term.

You do realize that your comment makes absolutely ZERO sense at all, right?
Not only do his posts make no sense, he doesn't even know who he's responding to.
So essentially he's the Joe Biden of PPP.

Don't think it's a bad take.
Isn't the list of super bowl winning qbs the last 20 years basically Brady, Rodgers, Manning, Manning, Big Ben, Wilson and Mahomes? I know there's a random Foles mixed in every now and then, but the vast majority of super bowls the last 20 years have been won by very few QBs, and they're the elite of elite.
I think the point is the goal is to get one of those elite qbs (which I am hoping Allen is), if you don't think you did, don't compound the mistake and give out an elite level contract.
Edit: I left off Brees. Other than that the only three other winning qbs since 2000 have been Trent Dilfer, Brad Johnson, Joe Flacco and Nick Foles.
Exactly. Those are the guys you give the big $ to because they all (you can make a case against Eli) make the players around them better. To use the baseball metric, those guys have a very high WAR.
That defines the current Dak Prescott conundrum, and is the critical evaluation that must take place on Josh Allen over the next year and a half. I'm optimistic Josh can reach the top level of the QB position, but if the Bills conclude otherwise they have to find the courage to let him walk.

Europe: Lockdown, Part II
Gee, I was certain that all those smart, pragmatic leaders in (why can't we be more like) Europe had this thing under control. Or is this all Trump's fault too?

Easy to give a big second contract to a QB once he's established himself in the top group, like Mahomes.
The trap is when you have a good, not great QB like Goff or Wentz. That's when you kill your roster because those guys don't elevate the team.

Just because socialism didn't work last time, doesn't mean it won't work this time.
We just haven't tried real socialism yet.

Only 40%?
Well...could be more depending where he lives. It would be 50% for those of us in CA.

On the bright side, his tax burden on the $3k win will be substantially less than the 40% or so he'd have paid on $1mm.

I wonder if Tre spends enough time out of NY to not be a NYS resident. That would mean big bucks to him.......home back down south? Probabily not, w camps etc. But, the season and training camp are well short of the 6 months required to be a resident. I suspect that NYS has special rules on income tax for the professional athletes, but don't know that for sure. Never wondered about that before until this housing discussion.....I too think the signed contract is binding, unless there is a 48 hour escape clause hidden somewhere.
Good read here on that subject (and by Bills fans). And I suspect the states have only upped their aggressive position on residency since this was written.

I love when "Bills history" starts in 1988 (or 2000).

What does it say about baseball when Manfred is booed worse — by a tiny COVID crowd no less — than even Gary Bettman?

Well that was just a nice DP.
And for the record, the game on Saturday nigh was epic even with all the early HRs.
I guess, in that the Rays somehow stuck around even though the Dodgers has every hit they needed. But I’ve seen dozens of World Series games more entertaining than that HR derby. To me, only the fluky ending made it memorable.2 minutes ago, SinceThe70s said:Congrats to Kershaw.
I agree with that. Always liked him and as with Manning, never bought into the post season criticism. -

Was lamenting the K/HR mentality to my son earlier. Bottom 8, 27 strikeouts so far. In the biggest game of many of these players lives they barely put the ball in play.
I think the last time I saw a ground out was 2015.It’s shocking how quickly they’ve made postseason baseball almost unwatchable.

And after only throwing 73 pitches. I guess he was saving him for tomorrow night. lol
They have absolutely ruined baseball with the over-managing and the home run-or-nothing offense.The day I am appointed Emperor, every fence in MLB will be pushed back 50 feet.

Pulling your ace in the sixth inning after giving up no runs on two hits.
The idiots have ruined baseball.

Exactly the kind of guy the Bills have avoided bringing here. I don't think they change that approach now for a player rapidly closing in on 'first round bust' status.

I guess maybe the better question would have been, how does the NFL eliminate the tie games(which the NCAA has figured out)? Nothing worse than a tie...unless your a soccer fan.
Less than half of one percent of games ends in a tie. Is it really that big a problem?

No to silly gimmicks in pro football.

Let’s just say a game against the Jets offense couldn’t have come at a better time.
