  1. Seems that NFL refs get off scott-free each week for calls that are either incompetent, or unethical. 
     

    Yet when it’s all said and done, refs go home to their normal lives with no repercussions.  The NFL doesn’t care because they are a multi billion dollar business.  Refs don’t care cuz they get away with it with zero repercussions.
     

    If the NFL doesn’t care that their refs are unethical or incompetent, then the names of the refs who are making/ not making these calls should be exposed to the Public.  It would be interesting to see if the exposing the names of these refs making bad calls for their own personal agenda would help their competence level and make them be more efficient? 
     

    Anyone have the names of the ref(s) who made the call against Wallace and didn’t call the Diggs PI vs Bucs that we can post on the board?

  2. I personally would want Elijah Moore over Etienne.  But I would love either.  I can see Etienne as a Kamara comp, so moving up to get a player like that isn't a shock for me.

     

    Beane has been pretty tight lipped over the years, so it's a surprise that something like this would get out.  Could be a smoke screen.  Could be true.  But whatever Beane decides he has earned the trust of the fans to do what he thinks is right. 

     

    But gotta say if Asante Samuels Jr. is there, no way they don't pick him.

  3. I can see BB going through camp to see where Murphy stands.  If he isn't up to par,  then it wouldn't surprise me in the least if he would cut Murphy and sign Clowney to a one year deal close to Murphy's savings.  With the salaries of Cam and Jameis, I can see a team signing Clowney for less than $10 mil.

     

    Only caveat is I don't think he'll be a FA past the first day of training camp.   He will sign somewhere by then, and it will be too late.

    See but that is the problem. Women will constantly test and push to see what they can get away with. They will start with small disrespectful things and if you allow it, they will keep doing slightly more disrespectful things until it gets to a point where they have no regard for the man(and no respect for him as a man) like the situation you describe and stay(for a while...until they eventually get to a point they view him with such disdain and disgust they either cheat or leave after so much abuse---mental, emotional or physical).

     

    This is not something to applaud. If a man has no respect for himself, how can he expect anyone else to? She certainly doesn't anymore. I can pretty much guarantee you within 5 years she will divorce him and likely is/will cheat on him.

     

    She has wanted him to stand up for himself for a long time. Women WANT a man to have boundaries for behavior. He doesn't. It lets them feel secure and their respect grows for him that he will not tolerate certain actions.  

     

    The biggest fear a woman has is a man that is able to walk away. If he would simply show the willingness to not tolerate disrespectful behavior and have some self-respect for himself he may be able to slowly change the situation. The more he doesn't and the more he allows the closer it gets to the situation I describe which is going to be a when not if unless something changes drastically.

     

    Sad we have reached a point where other men "applaud" a man for having no self respect and allowing a woman to treat them like a doormat. Completely unacceptable in my book.

    This, right here, is 100% truth.  A lot of guys don't get this, and think standing up for one's self isn't being a real "gentleman".  Just because he's a 350 lbs lineman doesn't mean he isn't prone to this.   

     

    There does come a point though when it's too late, and there is no saving the relationship.  No matter what he does, he has taken her BS for so long, and she is so conditioned in her behavior, she simply won't believe him if he tries to change.  She'll just simply keep testing him, and either she will get frustrated and tell all of her friends what a jerk he has become and leave, or he will bend once again to her ways and go through this nightmare all over again.

     

    Until your a millionaire stuck in an unhappy relationship with a woman you despise with the fear she'll try to take you to the cleaners if you leave, it's tough to judge this guy.

    So I got several Pats fan friends on social media talking about the rumors and speculation that the Pats could sign Kap.  And all of them are hoping it happens surprisingly.  
     

    Me:  I don’t think so.  I think BB really wants to try and do his latest Matt Cassel like job of taking a guy who is basically unknown and unheralded young QB and prove he can win still without a “Tom Brady”.  Just my opinion of course. 
     

    BUT...what if they did sign Kap and let him battle for the starting job?  Seems some recent polls show majority of Pats fans would support this.  From a story perspective, I think this would be interesting to watch.  Get him back in and on a huge stage.  Be a great message in our climate for one, and a great opportunity for Kap in terms of how he could get back in the league.  
     

    As a Bills fan, I’d be stoked to see Pats have another distraction to go with the “Life after Brady” distraction haha.  
     

    So what are your thoughts?

    I don't see BB signing Kaep.   It would make more sense for the Vikings to sign him.  They have Sean Manion and Jake Browning as their backups.   For a playoff team thinking they are a Cousins Injury away from having one of those two guys under center is scary.

  6. For those that are old enough on this board, I'm sure we've all done something we're not too proud of in our early 20's.  The guy made a mistake.  It's not an indictment on his character. It's mistake.  I saw a post where first time DWI offenders get 2 games.  Both charges (DWI and Weapon) are misdemeanors.  On the video, he looked to be compliant.  He'll hire a good lawyer and they'll take care of him

     

    I'm sure when its all said and done Ed will learn from this and move on.  He'll realize that things could have been alot worse, and to not take for granted the gift God and the universe has given him in the game of football.

     

    Other than that, all of the crazy talk from all the perfect people on this board commenting as if they've never made a mistake is hypocritical.

    As a resident in Montgomery County I have to tell you he must have been driving REALLY bad to get a complaint! It's common to drive 85-90 MPH on I45 with Constables on the shoulder. Very rarely does someone get pulled over for a traffic violation, it slows traffic.

    The 911 caller stated he was driving erratically and dangerously.  So I'm sure once they tracked him down and saw him weave once they pulled him over.

     

     

     

  8. Only 27 starts.  He improved, and will get better.

     

    Eli Manning had 3336 passing yards, 56 completion % and 20 INT's the year they wont the SB in 2007.  Also had 25 INT's the year before they won SB in 2011.  But he was a winner, and when he needed to make a play he did.

     

    I foresee a long career ahead for Allen due to his competitiveness. and drive.  His stats won't define him.

    Moss supposedly tweaked his hammy at the combine so the 4.65 isn’t indicative of his actual speed. And the 4.52 is probably way too generous. Nothing wrong with 4.6 speed at RB though, lots of good guys out there who are a lot faster on the field the on the track.

    I agree nothing wrong with 4.6 speed.  But the guns at the yard markers (not hand time) clocked him at 4.52.  It wasn't generous, it's what he ran. 

  10. Pretty cool video piece by a local TV station showing Edmunds' mom running drills with a whistle (she's a P.E. teacher) while dad also assists.  They admitted their parents wouldn't let them slack off during the pandemic, and made sure they are training and learning via IPads, etc.  Not sure if I've seen anything like this.

     

    I can see what McD and BB was talking about when it comes to their family unit.  I think it speaks highly about the character of the parents, and the type of habits they are handing down to their kids. Championship mentality.

     

    Pretty cool.
