Yes, let’s see him play some concussion-free football for a while before committing a fortune. I think that actually hurts Benford’s leverage to some degree. His leverage is no greater than any other player, and maybe a bit less due to health concerns. I have seen nothing that makes me fear any kind of a holdout, so I won’t worry about it yet.

If we could contain it like that, I’d be a happy man.

I don’t follow that closely, so it’s nice of you to clearly announce yourself as a Ravens fan.

So, are you going to skip the parade? 😊

When are the Jills coming back?

Did it ever occur to you that they sat at home alone and read music reviews while locked down??? 😊 You know I kid, my friend. Things are different, in a lot of ways. And it’s just going to keep going faster and faster. .

It would probably be a PPV Sensation! I’d pay to see that! I mean, that’s like signing up for a Mike Tyson PPV to watch the other guy. 😂

But as he said, if it’s built into the price I have less problem with it. The season is longer than ever, and they will need a fresh wave of players later in the season.

They will never make it in the Tour De France. Amateurs!

OH BOY! This should be good! 😂

It was negotiated. I’ll blame Goodell since I’ve come to dislike him so intensely.

I’m guessing it was a negotiating item with the NFLPA to allow their guys to get their deals, and only then pay for their sins.

I don’t think he’s chuckling at the moment.

No, that’s when they are going to tell you the penalty was forgiven due to an error at the lab tainting results which didn’t stand up under appeal. And THAT will be April 1.

That was an early thought for me as well, but I don’t know how it works for sure.

Do we get any Comp picks for this? I’m sorry, I’d rather laugh than cry.

I was properly spaced when I swallowed my ice tea wrong at lunch and started coughing. I couldn’t shake it, and it kept going. OH MY!!! If looks could kill! I’m holding up my glass and pointing to it. 😂 It was strange to see roads and certain places practically vacant. Right in the heart of all this we had to fly somewhere for something. We are thinking traffic would be light….for Atlanta at least. Boy were we wrong! My wife had flown almost weekly out of ATL before Covid, but DURING Covid was the first time ever that both parking garages were 100% full and we had to find a new place to park. EVERYBODY was traveling! We were shocked.

We have a photo in our kitchen of the sunset dinner cruise on the Seine from a couple years ago. If you get to pick one destination, Paris is not a bad option! I want to get more travel in before I get too old to enjoy it, but as long as the wife is still working we’ll have to just pick our spots. Of course, when the money stops coming in that may change my mindset!

Did you fall out of the plane or something? 😱 (We actually went skydiving a few years ago, pretty cool.) I don’t like the experience, especially leaving from the zoo they call the Atlanta airport. Security lines are ridiculous and the plane seats are cramped, but I like to be able to go places so I suck it up. It annoys me much more than concerns me. But there is always a chance something crazy will happen. That’s life.

Does he have a poor attitude as well? You made me curious.

Let me just take a moment to say that I’m glad we didn’t listen to the people who wanted to draft this guy. 😂

I feel a lot safer flying than I do driving to the airport in Atlanta.

Wow! That’s warmer than my 71 in ATL. I just finished watching Xavier blow a 14 point lead and get bumped by Marquette in the BE tournament. The weather helps my spirits. I need it. I have no idea what will happen with Hendrickson. They won’t/can’t pay him. I just hope he lands outside of the AFC contenders.

Oh, I’ve got the house opened up!

A ton of money is one thing, if it’s a fair and reasonable amount. What the Browns do with contracts makes me wonder if they take the short bus and need a tutor. Nothing at all wrong with any of that, unless you are an NFL franchise.
