  1. Chargers and Rams share a stadium. PSLs for Chargers are not applicable to Rams games and vise versa.
  2. is the Irish Wake still going on?
  3. Fields needs work like Baker Mayfield did with Alex Van Pelt - he has to be broken down and rebuilt and it takes time and commitment. Fields has the physical attributes to be a good QB. No one is going to pay him on 5th year contract rate so he will need to sign a multiyear contract in order for a team to gets its money worth on investment in money and roster space. Alternately he can be a package QB but can be used a few times a game plus do some running.
  4. It helped explain why he did not get many interviews.
  5. I came out of bank one time and there was an owl stunned on sidewalk. I went out to hit looking to see if it was injured and others started coming over. Someone asked those there who were there was there anyone there who worked with birds and I said I have raised wild bird babies, handled large parrots and I have helped a hummingbird to be rehabilitated. It did not seem injured but stunned. it would move away although very slowly when anyone moved toward it. I asked two people to stand along sidewall on side of road so it would not move into road. I asked someone to keep an eye on it while I got some things out of my car. I got a box and blanket. We went i a circle slowly closing in and then I tossed blanket over owl. It calmed down when it was dark and it did not see people. I asked someone to bring me box and I put the owl into it and closed it. I then got a call I was late and asked another person to call animal control and ask them to call me to tell state of the bird. I never did hear but it seemed okay other than being stunned.
  6. Some years no. QBs are different however since they usually only use one QB. With WRs when depth is supposedly and team needs WRs I think taking two which team think are viable makes sense rather than spending assets to move up and take a chance on one.
  7. Actually I was being sarcastic. Teams have their own physicians so most players will not be taking advantage of healthcare system and 16 month pay calendar is used by countries like Greece who have restrictions on spending to borrow money but unable to resist pressure on pay. I think a great amount of the taxes for benefits players play overseas would be wasted. The same disparity exists in US between states in US which certainly gives some teams advantages recruiting free agents whose first priority is how much they (and their agent) is paid but NFL does not try to balance that. And I am very familiar with need for insurance since I had a stroke and overnight stay costs $28K without them telling how much each thing they do costs before they do it. I do not purchase items from supermarkets without knowing price ahead of time and hospitals do not allow it but fortunately some states have statures resisting them from charging for the moon except for anesthesiologists.
  8. Diggs was selected in the fifth round with the 146th overall pick by the Minnesota Vikings in the 2015 NFL draft so I do not see why it is NECESSARY to replace him with a first round pick. EASIER? Maybe but there are a number of busts in every round. Some college WRs cannot adjust to NFL Diggs, a 5th round pick, did better than many picks before him. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/D/DiggSt00.htm More important that they pick the right player and get him in sync with Josh.
  9. You exaggerate to make your point. It actually has been simulcast on ABC and ESPN a number of times.
  10. We need the Ghost of Christmas Past (Ralph Wilson) to haunt Ebenezer Scrooge (Roger Goodfornothingell) until either he has a heart attack (hard when it is made of solid gold) or it melts.
  11. I agree. VA does not require those who do large projects to contribute to community services including schools it impacts for that takes away from their property rights The only leverage they appear is zoning using requested zoning changes to allow developers to have them with agreement to create subsidized housing surrounded by very large, very expensive properties.
  12. Sorry no, afraid if getting a social disease like some ball lickers.
  13. I think they will use multiple QBs using Fields in a lot of options plays. I also believe that Steelers would not have signed Wilson if they knew that Fields was available but since they signed him he will get chance provided bur if a QB goes down in preseason he may be traded for an asset.
  14. Wizards and Capitals NOT moving to Virginia, And you could see THIS coming:
  15. More former Patriots are upset by The Dynasty’s negative spin https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/more-former-patriots-are-upset-by-the-dynastys-negative-spin
  16. With new rules it should be renamed "Friendly Taps" or "Just get flags".
  17. High taxes are relative. Some countries in Europe have very high tax rates. They also have other benefits like universal healthcare and 16 month pay calendars. Image atrribution: https://taxfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Europe_PIT_Top_Rates_24-2048x1769.png
  18. New England should have been one of teams there since New England Patriots Awarded Brazil as a Global Markets Program Territory. NFL Marketing screwed up. Please correct subject. Misleading.
  19. At least Jaguars helped catch the ex-employee.
  20. Don't confuse irrational ranters with logic. I have heard people talk like all of the offense players in draft are better than all of the defense players in draft so if Beane does not use top 5 picks including some they need to trade next years picks for Beane is a finger puppet of Coach McD and just picking defense players for him. Any offense players picked are going to be converted to defense like George Wilson was.
  21. Only if we trade down a few times to get extra picks for we know no UDFA WR will WANT to go to Buffalo with Buffalo weather in fall and a QB who throws so hard.
  22. Hit with two many rights and passed out. They have not figured out how to charge for view.
