  1. We find put that Josh has incentives in contract for knocking out fellow player.
  2. Or long snapper is going to do double duty.
  3. If it is based on number of snaps yes for many on defense line will not be on roster and he will be competing against draft picks and minimum salary players.
  4. He got a lot better later in year when he was more accustomed to defense.
  5. But he saved themmoney decorating his own office and bring in his own staff there. New England has lsrge cap space and they should hiresign him.
  6. Did he not do commercials with Fitzpatrick?
  7. My wife regularly cannot use her vacation time for there is no one to replace her because school system decided to not fund substitutes allowing superintendent to meet his fiscal goal and receive his bonuses. She has been taking it this year an hour now at my insistance to two a week at end of day when she got her work done and her assistant can close the kitchen. For me I had reserved two weeks in Hawaii at Christmas time and paid for hotel / airfare AFTER I sent notice that I was taking vacation and received approval in writing by my supervisor. At end of year was told that primary customer was holding exercise and the customer said I needed to be there. I was told that it was important for team spirit that I go, It was implied it would negatively reflect on my annual review if I didn't. I asked if they would refund my airfare if my wife was willing to go without me. No. I asked if I could get exception and be able to carry my time off to next year since I was at cap. I was told no. I told them I am planning on going on vacation and they would need to find a replacement. Thank you for being a good employer.
  8. Considering how much they are paid it is caviar and Broadway shows now.
  9. Bama coach did not recommend him to his buddy in New England. He took Mac Jones instead. Not sure if he was recommended by Nick Saban.
  10. I was on disability and was contacted by HR giving me two weeks notice for work for Verizon Business was being moved to India (significant portion of work was unclassified but for department of DOD). I told them that when you are on disability it is against rules of disability and law to do any work while you are on disability (they had before tried to get people to work reviewing documents and answering questions while on disability). They needed to wait another week to give me notice when I returned from disability. I got to office and most of people were gone even though they were supposed to work last two weeks; maybe they used vacation or sick time i don't sign contracts). Had one big issue on final Friday and I told customer that I would need to have someone handle this issue next week since I have put my hours in and today was last day. Customer insisted it needed to be handled today so I said I'd send email to manager but she rarely read emails Friday evenings.
  11. i talked to friend who used to watch Bills at Grevey's during K-Gun era. He suggested it is time to hold an Irish Wake.
  12. I had a turkey vulture on top of my gazebo on my back porch facing the 2.5 wooded acre lot behind house. No dead animals in my yard that I know of so I am assuming it was looking for a flat raised spot to rest while looking/scenting for food in wooded acre lot.
  13. They may be also trying to sue the rental company who rented the vehicle which hit him.
  14. I stripped the tracking and useless crap from URLs and posted many of the links from last hour.

  15. Just the many multiple of people who say they are going to quit board and don't. With Beane he meant it at time but circumstances change and smart people change when they do.
  16. By Bills releasing Nyheim Hines the Bills are giving him ammo to his legal team will pursue legal action against those he believed were responsible for the crash that injury impacted him financially. He made significant impact on special teams and because he was traded mid-season he did not have time to be integrated into offense.
  17. I hope not. Not time to add expensive contracts. All it takes is one injury and significant part of cap gone.
  18. Well Neanderthals and presidential primaries are related to each other.
  19. It's all fun and games WHEN something blows up!
  20. I wonder how rule would be applied if a relative worked in front office of a NFL. I.e. If Ed McCaffrey has a position in Broncos front office and he was seen talking to his son Christian McCaffrey after a game. There are a LOT of families in NFL.
  21. Partly safety and it uses space underground allowing space to be reused.
  22. If only the BBMB did not close down there would be inpatient therapy.
  23. He won't be successful until he breaks his leg and gets into commercials when he is on injured reserve like Dan.
