I read it differently . A young man, struggling in life like so many of us, was lost under unrelated tragic circumstances. This, to me, is much more powerful and respectful than, say, “NFL QB”, or “former college star”. Dwayne Haskins’ story is try, succeed, try, fail, try … No debate with you. Another perspective.

Wonderlic 11.

I didn’t like the conservative play calling on the last possession. Should’ve been 8 for 8 with all the talent he has available.

Signed in just to LOL!

You make some great observations that go deeper than the original question.

From my seat .. right call in that situation. Style points for guts. That’s how I’d evaluate his seat if I owned a franchise.

At Capital Grille, St John’s Town Center. Drinks on me at the bar. PM me to connect.

St. john’s Town Center - Hyatt Place. Anyone close, PM me and we’ll connect. Drinks are on me! Dinner at Capital Grille .. and they have quite a bar.

I will be there with my daughter. I’ll check back in - love to gather for cocktails. Club East Section 135 / Bills Bench / 35 yard line. I bought my daughter and Allen jersey. She’s more excited than me!

Maybe those hundreds of emails the NFL has were between Gruden and my high school teammates, sent decades ago.

Yeah, but that one went off Tyreek’s hands.

Not at all disagreeing with you …. your post inspired a thought in me. Every adult I know can be cancelled. The instincts to do so are small and petty. We’ve brought this on ourselves. All three sentences are not inconsistent with “there’s bad stuff in this world that must stop.” Confront transgressions firmly but with compassion. If the offender apologizes, if you sense sincerity, move on. That’s both common sense and grace. And, yes, sometimes the apologies start with denials and rationalizations. That’s human nature when the lights go on and your hand’s in the cookie jar. The virtuous mob needs a hand mirror. Ever been in an NFL locker room? Gruden is Everyman. And yet, here we are …

He got me, too. That’s an example of a writer “creating separation” from his peers.

The metaphor … life gives gifts, if you pay attention.

I’d feel better if Jameis Winston wasn’t in the same article.

Logged in just to say ... if only the rest of the internet was this good.

Bear hands would be handy when killing a man!

I love playing Kansas City in meaningful games. I am Hank Stram, Lenny Dawson, Buck Buchanan, Willie Lanier, Bobby Bell, Jan Stenerud, Curly Culp .... THIS is old school AFL/NFL ... and Mahomes / Allen can be legend. Be healthy, Patrick, and play ... join the Pantheon. This is Troy (foreign soil), where Achilles (our hero) calls out Hector (hero of the invaded land). Sing, Goddess, the wrath of Achilles ...

He’ll be ready because the world’s best doctors work with athletes at the highest level, like the NFL has. That said, this is one nasty injury.

One of the proofs* that God exists is daughters, given to fathers. I need say no more. My daughter married a die hard Patriot fan last September. Oh, no reception, yet ... that will come, post pandemic. He is now posting all over their instagram with his Bills Mafia best, singing the shout song, and truly enjoying being a Bills fan. He met us as a Pats fan, but polite. He evolved to fans of both. Now, he’s all in Buffalo. A conversion, if you will. My observation, based upon his words ... “It is really cool to cheer for New England. It’s really cool to be a Bills fan.” * the others being The Golden Ratio and the rose, an infant’s fingers and peanut butter with chocolate.

.... in a game that wasn’t as close as the score indicated.

I don’t think you “sign” team friendly deals as often as you “restructure” later to be team friendly as you continue to win and be competitive. If i’m his agent, I say “get every penny today. You can always accommodate later, on your terms, when you want to.”

It’s all very clear to me, now ...
