Said this in another thread but maybe it's better here.....We'll know soon enough if he shows up ... Either way I'm in IDGAF mode now.... If he shows, run the ***** into the ground. Too many shades of his brother here. Terrible advice putting it out publicly that he feels "disconnected from the team and the city". I mean I can understand how as a person he would feel disconnected from the team because they don't want to pay him, and the city because the overwhelming feeling out there is that he's not worth the money he thinks he is. It's human nature that if you think you're worth something and literally nobody else does, you're going to feel bum hurt by it... That said, this is what agents are for. Manage your clients expectations and let them understand what the real world is, not the fantasy world that they're living in. I would have been fine with this guy moved for a fifth or sixth during the draft for this exact reason. It's a distraction, and frankly we're going to let him walk for nothing after this year. I just hope he ends up playing for us so we get some sort of value out of the money we're going to end up having to pay him on the last year of his deal. For me the smart move would have been to move him for literally anything, let him be somebody else's headache, and draft of running back to stick in the backfield in an RBC. Ty Johnson is a fine piece as a scatt back receiver, Ray Davis show to me he can absolutely be a receiver out of the backfield and he's more of that thunder to Ty Johnson's flash... I'll be honest they were plays that I was a little disappointed in Ray Davis's ability to run over guys, but value above replacement, these two dudes 100% can be a tandem in the NFL without cook in the mix. I'm on the train that no running back is for 15 million... Not even Henry or CMC... But definitely not Cook. I m an we pay Ty Johnson what $1.2M.... Is Cook 13 times better than him? I'd he really $13.8M better? The answer is ***** NO. Sure he's better, but in smaller degrees than people want to admit, and the financial trade is laughably lopsided here. If this ***** nut wants to talk through the media to "send a message", then he's not smart enough to understand the message that's being sent back to him already. It's "bro we love you, but we don't value you like that. Let's get this done and you can go get paid next year like Gabe Davis.". The bills are known for letting dudes test the market. They do it with starters and scrubs alike... "Here's our number, go check the market and if we can make a deal happen we'd love to have you back.". ***** we did it with Ty this off-season, we let him see what the market was and he chose to come back. I understand getting paid before your career is over, especially in a sport like football, and especially at a position like running back. That said, there's an absolute tone deaf imaginary world he is living in if he thinks he can stronger the team into giving him whatever he wants. So I guess I just don't understand what the end game is. He's not going to get paid what he thinks he's worth by the bills. It's just not going to happen and they've said as much. Stirring up more problems, I mean what does he want to be released? Then he should have just asked for that before the draft and before teams chewed up all of their salary camp space. If that's his end game he should have played his cards entirely differently to get off the roster when there was a huge amount of salary cap space that he could have been a part of. Now teams are full, rosters are full, caps are full, he has no play here. It's just ignorant and pathetic.

No way th y give us both Thanksgiving and Christmas in the same year.

Broncos @ Chiefs Christmas Day released Hopefully this means we won't be playing Christmas Day at home like some rumors. I don't think they would put two heavy hitter AFC teams on the same day, I feel like they would want to diversify it with NFC action. I mean it could be Bills Eagles, but that's a Marquee matchup and doesn't need to be on a holiday like Christmas to be a mega draw for ratings, feels like a waste on a day like that where you already have a captive audience.

Seriously, I clicked on this thread to see what was going on and I'm reading about people bashing Neil deGrasse Tyson... I'm like WTF? Am i still on the message board or did I end up in some random reddit lol

All I have to say is Apollo TV .. l'd look into it ... I love it for way more than just sports, but for sports it's unmatched.

They need camp bodies for reps there's a reason the roster is 90 dudes.... If this guy is good enough, he could be a trade candidate at cut downs, but at the end of the day he's little more than a camp body, and that's fine. Bring in dudes on the cheap with NFL experience to battle and make the competition better. No negative there.

Lamar is such a narcissistic bozo... I thank God every time I see that dudes name come up that we have Allen and not him.

If there's a spot I'd be down, I've done dynasty auction, dynasty draft and regular draft leagues for years A few defunct over time others I fell away when we had our kids because of time, but they're older now and I'd be happy to get back into the fray of dynasty. For this to be true dynasty, do we allow trading of draft picks as well for future years? That always adds a really fun wrinkle, and while sometimes you get some issues with teams that are out dumping a little bit, there's obvious ways of mitigating that. But it also adds a fun way of adding keepers at the trade deadline who add value for your team next year while allowing some higher ticket players to go who you aren't going to keep anyway. Just a thought.

Steroids & HGH are a hell of a thing!

RB is interchangeable and a depreciating asset... Cook isn't Barkely lol, dude played less than 50% of snaps, he's not a 3 down back, what are we even talking about???? Trade cook with 56 to move up from Bond, replace him in the 4th with Raheim Sanders, and move on. Johnson+Davis+Sander is more than good enough to move forward. Spending real money on a RB is just dumb.

All for this, sounds like fun!

I think people are forgetting how much time Milano has missed with two entirely different injuries requiring very different rehabs. I think his return this year was always going to be a "get back in the flow" kind of year and next year is when we'll know "washed" or not... He shows some flashes where he looks like old Milano, then he hesitates too much on a play and gets washed by a lineman or misses the tackle due to a bad angle. But not playing for over a year and rehabbing will do that. The instincts are there, the reaction time just seems a bit off. Execution also seems a bit off. Let's also not forget that his strength isn't going to be the same it would normally be coming back from a torn pectoral. There's only so much lifting he's going to be able to do to get himself back. It's funny because he took that leg injury last year, and talked about how tough it was not being able to do leg work so he focused on his upper body. Now it's been the opposite where he was able to do some cardio work while he was down, but he couldn't do anything upper body. He's still trying to get literally everything back in football condition and trust his body to do what he's thinking about. And don't think for a second that those injuries aren't in the back of his head every time he hits somebody too. That's only natural and all players say it takes a while for that to go away. He's still better than Dorian Williams, and to me it's not even close... Williams is a freak but his football IQ has been lacking IMO... Hopefully watching Matt he'll pick more up. Don't even get me started on how terribly Baylon Spector is... Dude singlehandedly gave them 60 yards on the last drive by being entirely unable to cover anyone. They just threw to his area of the field over and over. Hopefully Milano's groin isn't serious, he needs more reps before the playoffs to help him get right.

I'll be there with 7 people, where you tailgating? Pink lot?? Also does anybody know of any billsbackers bars in LA or around LA? Anyone else stuck on the tarmack in Buffalo with me? Damn snow storm, 100% missing the JFK to LAX connection...
