    "tough guy"?  WTF?  I guess I must deserve that somehow?  Sounds like you've got a problem.

     

    You don't have to speak your point eloquently or elegantly.  But it has to be able to be understood. 

     

    Yes, I think pretty much all of us have seen and dealt with addiction and alcoholism in one way or another. 

     

    But where does the stuff about "rewarding one with a stage" come from?  Poyer was rewarded with a stage by becoming a successful professional athlete that 168,000 people follow on Instagram for whatever reasons.


    If he chooses to use that stage to share personal information about struggles he's had behind the scenes, what exactly is the problem with that?  

     

    You might not find it helpful or inspirational, that's fine.  People who you know who are dealing with addiction issues might not find it helpful or inspirational, also fine.  But maybe someone will.  And maybe that someone would not be able to relate to, or find inspiration from, a different story from a different guy.  Who knows? 

     

     

     

     

    I like your point Hap. I'm as open as it gets. However, you have a history of being repressive.  so I can't quite believe a word you say. Namastè

    Well what the hell else do you call it when you're asking if a combat veteran suffering from addiction is a "monster" relative to a heroin addict then bring up this apparent red herring of Antonio Brown?

     

    They're both struggling with addiction, and so apparently was Poyer.  I personally don't need to pass judgement about whether one has more "justification" than another, but apparently you do.  If you have another point, it's not coming across clearly here.

    I'm no orator. You are correct. But since when do I have to speak my point, elagantly, to make my point Hap?? Im not , nor ever did, justify crap. Just saying that we see this everyday. most of us have in our lives.can we agree on that? Did we not all have an uncle or grandpa or cousin who struggled at some point? and why now do we reward one with a stage to make it different or more relevant?? My post wasn't political or social, but it sure turned into that quickly...didn't it? tough guy

    personally, if I’m following you correctly, I don’t think anyone has a right to cast judgement without knowing circumstances. He may not be a hero in your view, which is fine, but for other athletes or highly successful people struggling with an issue, he may be a huge hero to them, for showing it doesn’t only impact certain demographics, and that it’s non discriminatory. 
     

     

    I meant no harm. just pointing out that if "heros" get daily news cycles, we should make it easier to acess the every day people who suffer and overcome. didnt mean to upset the norm. EVERYBODY here knows someone who struggled. its called suck it up buttercup lol

    What exactly is your fixation on Antonio Brown and Poyer's wife? 

     

    Poyer didn't use that as a factor behind his addiction, so I'm not exactly sure where you're going with all this, except that it seems very weird.  Obviously the two of them got married and moved on and have worked through some other stuff and stayed married. 

     

    You say you place no judgement on anyone, yet your post seems all about moral relativism (this addict compared to that addict compared to pre-maritial infidelity). 

    read the rest of my post hap?moral relativism?? puke. cancel me. idc

    the definition of hero is different for everyone. In my view, individuals who overcome or learn to function successfully with addictions or mental health issues are heroes in their own right. Just because the public doesn’t see or recognize people for overcoming them, doesn’t make them any less of a hero than anyone else. 

    i agree

    I agree, I was all about Jenkins or Leatherwood but now I think Etienne might be the best on the board. The acceleration is insane.

    Not to mention, so is Toney's. I think Toney could replace 3 roster spots in McKenzie, Brown, AND Roberts.

    O-line is not plug and play like it used to be 10-15 years ago. A lot of rookie O-line players at all 5 positions struggle at higher rates than they used to. O-line players can take 2-3 years to develop due to lack of run blocking in college and other factors transitioning from college to the pros. I think it is possible the Bills still go O-line with that pick, if D.Williams just gets a ludicrous offer or they still sign D.Williams but draft a Mongo replacement who can kick out 3 years from now. 

     

    The Bills could and should still make a big offer to D.Williams, I wouldn't want to trust the second most important O-line position to a rookie even a first rounder. 

    I agree with some of what you say. However, you offset money year to year. Just like paying Diggs while Josh is on a rookie deal. EVERY position should be, and has been, applied by "winning organizations" over the years in this way. I'd welcome it. jmo

    I'm not trying to argue that anyone should or shouldn't break the bank for Milano.

     

    I'm pointing out that the Falcons signed Deion Jones, who was off the field a similar amount, to a contract similar to what Milano is said to be seeking (4 years, average $14.25M/year) and likewise as a FA Kwon Alexander, who was off the field even more, was given a 4 year, $13.5M/yr contract

     

    The point isn't that these guys are signings that turned out well for those teams. 

     

    They're an example of the fact teams are willing to hand over the type of contract Milano is seeking to guys who saw the field a similar or lesser amount.

     

    People who think that Milano won't get offered the contract he wants because he's injured too much are probably not correct.  The only reason he wouldn't is if there isn't a good match between his skill set and one of the teams with big cap space.

     

     

    I think he has a bed, sofa, and desk now.

     

    It's not just the guys themselves.  They have the opportunity to build generational wealth and to provide for their families as well as enhance or provide opportunities for their communities. 

    Yeah, I was just trying to be funny. I'll try harder next time😂
