Buftex

I have my draft on Tuesday night...I am much less prepared than normal. I have done about 10 mock drafts over the last few days...I normally try to stay away from Bills players...but I have ended up with Singeltary in a number of them...and Zack Moss in a couple too.

The crimes that Michael Vick committed, which is what you are referring to no doubt, had nothing to do with the NFL, or football. He had a pretty good career, all things considered, like a lot of other guys. But that doesn't put him in the HOF. Perhaps, if he'd won a Super Bowl he would have a legit shot. I would say you coudl definitely tell the story of the NFL, without ever mentioning VIck.

I thought they singed WR Jake Kumerow, who was cut by the Packers...also spent time with the Bengals and Patriots.

I disagaree on the McMahon point. He was the QB for a great team, but he was hardly the reason they won a Super Bowl. I think you are underplaying the significance of the Super Bowl he won. It wasn't just a case of an underdog winning a championship, the win put to rest the whole notion that the AFL was inferior to the NFL. AFL teams had a real stigma before that. Players didn't want to play for AFL teams. I know you know this, but you simply can't compare QB play from Namaths' time, to modern QB's, especailly from this century. Namath was a cultural icon, and played a big role in establishing he legitimacy of the AFL.

Good for him.

So, this may not be the place to ask this question, but what happened to DCTom? I genuinely miss his posts.

Whoa...at least she's not pretending to be the co-president of the United States!

I am fairly certain all teams will use as many spots as the rules will allow...the Patriots might even use a few more than that!

Just complying with B-man's request for links. I don't guess he is worried about Twitter bullies, but I think he, as a soldier, won't speak out. It is pretty clear that "Trumps' generals" all have a level of disdain for him.

I do not believe the McCain comments (there were a number of comments and tweets) were during a debate, but an interview. Trump has a lot of nice things to say about the military when they can benefit his self-image...more props for his fragile ego. Trump's whole world view is based on "winners" and "losers", not right or wrong. People who make money are "winners" and those who don't are "losers". He doesn't have any concept of the notion of sacrifice for a greater good. Then there are stories like this...the guy has some very strange ideas about military service. https://www.newsweek.com/tiffany-trump-child-support-payments-would-have-been-stopped-donald-if-she-joined-military-prenup-1442203 .. And now he is just looking for somebody to love him

It is ironic that now you who were criticizing Bolton a few weeks back, are now aciting as though you take his word. It goes both ways. There are other possible interpretations for Bolton: 1- He is a lifelong Republican who got roasted by the party for speaking out about their crappy president, and has been mostly criticized by the left for being a coward...resisting testifying at the impeachment hearing, but then writing a "tell all", for monatary gain. He is a man without a party right now...why not suck up to Lumpy one more time? He is a DC creature...Dems are never going to accept him...and for better or worse, whatever is left of the Repulican party is where some of his friends reside. 2- He could be senstitive to the deserved criticism that he, and other former Trump insiders who spoke out after the fact: "it this was happening, didn't you see it as your responsibilty to speak out then?"

bull####. His other words? You mean the ones where he isn't bashing miliary people. Or the ones where he is? You really are a sucker...the fool born in your minute.

It's fun to see the Trump losers and suckers in denial. The guy has revealed himself to be human garbage over and over again...

I would think Trump supporters are probably immune from the odor of desperation at this point.

It is the "best time" for the division for those with a political agenda.

The NFL, as other sports, does tons of community charity work, not related to BLM, or any social justice causes.

I am as excited as ever about the season, though a bit less engaged. The lack of pre-season games really hurts. I may be one of the few people who actually enjoys them. As someone who moved away from WNY back in 1988, not being able to attend games isn't that big a deal to me peronally, though I understand the pains it causes for some. I had season tickets from 1980- 1987, and going to those games are still some of the best times I have had. Now, I get to make it to one game a year, most seasons. Maybe another road game, if the Bills travel down my way. As for the politics, I pretty much support the players and the leagues messaging, so that isn't really affecting my anticipation. I also like the NBA, and have really been enjoying the "bubble playoffs", even though it is a little bit of an adjusment. The quality of the play has been really good. It is weird at first, but once you just start following the flow of the game, you forget that there isn't a real audience on hand. Where I notice my lack of engagement most, however, is with Fanatasy Football. I used to love it...this year, I am still playing out of obligation..but I haven't followed off-season moves by teams around the league near as much as I normally would. I have my big money leauge draft next Tuesday night, and I have no desire to prepare for it at all...I used to sit and watch pre-season games from all over the league, while i prepared for the draft, and made notes...not this year.

Oh, sorry..you speak for all "working class" Americans...I stand corrected.

White working class Americans.

It hasn't stopped him before.

Whatever helps you sleep at night westside2. You support a racist, who is encouraging racists to throw gas on a situation.

While I agree, some unification would be nice, patriotism is not encouraging right-wing fundamentalists to take to the streets, to support your election bid. Trump has made it very clear that he can't distinguish between rioters and demonstrators, or he just doesn't care to try. He wants the chaos. It distracts from what a miserable job he is doing.

The fact is, Americans are not very healthy. Most have some underlying conditions...which is what made COVID19 deadlier than "just a cold".
