  1. definitely worth the watch. have a real respect for that young man. his upbringing and the support around him molded him in to the man/player he is today. real sorry about his pops, dementia is a terrible deal.
  2. Remember how much of an adjustment it was for Mahomes/Reid early last season with limited weapons? I can only imagine Allen/McDermott right away… Cardinals are underrated. They are competitive with Kyler. Remember, they beat the Eagles last year once heated ups
  3. will need a full season under his belt before one can make a real good assessment. he did pretty well with the second half of the season. we shall see...
  4. I think some, myself included find some of the things said, interesting. there will likely always be conversation on former players whether it be praise or distain. no harm, no foul. just sharing thoughts on one recently past player.
  5. I don't think so based off these comments of his. “We knew where things were going—I did, at least. The outside world had so much speculation. I knew, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year to the offseason, exactly what was going on.
  6. Last season, Diggs started off the season in Buffalo hot, with more than 100 receiving yards in five of his first six games. But he didn’t go over 100 yards—and he notched only two scores—for the rest of the season. If it didn’t look like Diggs was having fun that’s because, well, he wasn’t. “Last year, I was in the worst mental space I’ve been in since I’ve been in the league,” Diggs says. “If I'm not in a good space, obviously that's not the best for me. So that's when things had to start shaking out.” In April, Diggs wasn’t surprised to learn that he’d been traded. “We had some talks with Buffalo,” he says. “We knew where things were going—I did, at least. The outside world had so much speculation. I knew, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year to the offseason, exactly what was going on. Not too much confusion on my end.”
  7. Entering his 10th season in the NFL, Diggs has designs on where he’d like to be next. His first catch for the Texans will likely put him over 10,000 career yards (he’s five short right now), and he’s done the math to know that he needs about 4,000 more to move into Hall of Fame territory. “I pay real close attention,” he says. “This ***** is not a game to me.” The fact that Diggs is keeping a close count is one of the reasons he’s a frequent discussion topic among people who get paid to talk about football for a living. In a sport where players are expected to abide by a platitudinous “there’s no I in team,” he’s certainly not quiet about wanting the ball. Which, if you ask him, is a preposterous line of criticism. “I don’t know one star in any sport that doesn’t want the ball,” he says, when I bring this up. “If you ain’t getting the ball, and it’s not a problem, you ain’t no competitor.” Still, this offseason was the second time Diggs was traded—before the Bills he played for the Minnesota Vikings—and both times, critics wondered: Why trade away a bona fide, offense-making superstar unless his sure hands also came with some great headaches? GQSPORTS Diggs, for his part, sees it differently. “None of those teams wanted to get rid of me,” he says. “Things had to shake because I kind of wanted them to shake.” So he called his shot and got what he wanted: another new beginning, with a team that is loaded with offensive talent—and that’s very excited about Diggs’s competitive fire. “When you watch the film on him, he jumps off the tape in how competitive he is,” says Bobby Slowik, the Texans’ offensive coordinator. “That is why we fell in love with his style of play.” The goal is nothing less than a Super Bowl, and now is the time: Diggs turned 30 last season, and despite the fact that he hasn’t missed a game due to injury in nearly six years, Father Time eventually jams up even the shiftiest route runners. “They say it’s rough,” Diggs says, when I bring up him approaching the big three-oh. “That’s just what they say.” He knows what’s at stake and he also hears what’s being said—and, as usual, would prefer to be the one making moves and doing the talking. “I love the noise,” he says. “Push me in the corner, I’m gonna show you my best *****. I’m a person that enjoys being doubted. I enjoy proving people wrong, but also, I enjoy doing it for myself. Everything I say I am, I am. I’m standing true to it. And every time I prove myself right, everybody disappears. I like when they get quiet.”
  8. 'No, I don't have a butler', says billionaire's daughter Pegula Jessica Pegula says she finds it "annoying" and "outrageous" that fans believe she has servants waiting on her hand and foot just because her father is a multi-billionaire sports mogul. American star Pegula is an accomplished professional tennis player in her own right and on Monday showed off her credentials by reaching the quarter-finals of the US Open. However, the 30-year-old has found it almost impossible to separate her fortunes from those of father Terry Pegula who owns the Buffalo Bills NFL team as well as the NHL's Buffalo Sabres.
