I’m quoting this…… because I can. The draft is a crap shoot, and we only admit that when it suits us. Nobody gets them all right, you just hope to do better than most, more often than not. Every team has busts, even in the early rounds. I honestly think the football side with game tape and all that type of evaluation is almost an impossible way to judge players, if used in a vacuum. It’s obviously the HUGE part of it, but you have to know the person. What motivates them? That’s a big reason the draft is so difficult, and all teams have busts.

A little closer to home, Jack Kemp’s son Jeff played QB for quite a few years in the NFL. I should have known because we were in 3rd grade together and only when he came to my neighborhood could we beat the older kids in football in the backyard. .

This is not news to Josh, he will be just fine tomorrow. Ask me when he’s been up all night with a crying infant, but he will have peeps for that. Somehow we all survive childhood, first our own, then the ones we create. It’s a friggin’ miracle, at least from my perspective. .

Using hindsight like that regarding draft choices is often one indication of a feeble mind, imo. You can almost always find a better choice for any draft slot with the benefit of hindsight. Tom Brady. Case closed.

Give us a healthy DL with Ed, Hoecht and Bosa all healthy (plus Groot and the backups) and we have a VERY formidable DL which helps every level of the defense. Add in one quality WR (with all TE’s healthy) and we are a darn good football team. We are 7-1 with Kincaid playing. Maybe Brandon Cooks is enough to fill that deep threat role for this year. Time will tell, but I like our chances going forward.

Ya never wanna hear that……

So, are we looking at a June-ish birth? After free agency and the draft, but before training camp. Planning like that is the mark of a true leader! …..or…..nope, I’m going with the leader stuff. .

Congrats to Josh, Hailee and Simon!

I watched it again on NFLN yesterday and had the same reaction. Wow! That was even worse than I remembered in real time, which means it had to be pretty darn bad! Those fields they play on overseas tell you just how serious they are about player safety. The hypocrisy is really annoying.

No, it does not negate what he did before. And what he did before does not excuse his complete lack of professionalism when he went into full diva mode….again.

Would you care to explain the contradiction in the bolded comments. No, never mind, don’t bother trying. 🤦

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. And if it winds up in a tart, the Ryan Bros will fight each other for it.

They really need to kick the horse out of practice.

If he needs a Toe Donor, I bet we could find one here.

If we did a deal like that with multiple high picks I would immediately try to make a wager that a season ending injury was in his future. NOT wishing it upon anyone, but lets face it….. At least that way I get one win, unfortunately probably in the form of a bet won. Going all in is great, but only if you get it right and stay lucky. Or you could go bold by paying 4 players big and have nothing else to put around them, like the Bengals*. I didn’t hate the Von deal at all, but we’ll never know what might have been. He looked good until the injury. 🤷‍♂️ I do expect them to attack the WR position the way they did the OL, then the DL last year. I have no idea who, but I expect them to address WR more seriously in FA and the draft than they have in the past. The good news is two, or even one guy can move the needle. On the lines you need a bunch of guys, at WR we need A guy. * Speaking of the Bengals, NFLN just had the game replay on. It was shockingly obvious with a calm mind that Higgins was rocked after repeatedly banging his head on the ground. How was that allowed to continue? I don’t do sports channels on TV or radio the way I used to, but I hope that got some attention.

There is clearly a theme developing here.

Gee, it sure stinks to be the boss.

I’d like to see Munich, but I’ll hold out for something better. That’s about all these games mean to me, vacation opportunities with a built in excuse. I hope they have a decent field for the players, not that the NFL is too concerned.

No, he’s actually quite knowledgeable about football and his negative comments are far more tempered.

Does he have a solid alibi for the time period during which the poop magically appeared on your desk?

Die Hard is a Christmas movie. It is also a romance/action/drama/comedy flick and pretty much everything but Vampires and zombies, right? .

Did it scare anyone else that he just might get a holding call? I mean, that’s the kinda thing you almost expect.

What is the common theme thru everything? Money. If we are drafting 32 (because we earned the honor), I don’t care if they don’t mention the Bills all day.

I remember being a little kid telling my mother I didn’t mind rain or snow, but wind ruined everything.

Now I’m curious, is that info you need/have as a golfer? I had a tennis buddy in Florida who had a certain palm tree he would look at. He knew by how that was blowing if I’d be willing to play in those conditions. Slightly less scientific.
