Buffalo716

I also played division 1 football and I've been a coach and scout for 30 years So yeah I think I know what I'm talking about with football. I was around elite levels of the game

I totally understand the drive to be great. I played high-level football and sports my whole life I've gotten into fights on the pickup basketball court because I'm so competitive. I don't think I struggle with competitors striving to be great But by the time they reach that level a lot of them have lost their passion for the sport. You don't have to love something to strive to be great. That's just competitive nature

I should have said not passionate about the game, instead of not liking it 99% of the game at a high level is preparation work. And after years and years and years of that it just drains the passion for the game. Sure the actual 60 minutes of game time still could be enjoyable, but the actual job of being a player. The actual grind of preparation work sucks the passion out of tons of guys

But a quick search it's easy to see lots players don't love the game And I know lots of players who played high-level football who didn't love it

I can buy a house in the City of Buffalo that is 1500 square feet For like 40-60 grand in spots That house in cheektowaga. 120-170 grand East Aurora: 200-300 grand lol

If by the city, you mean New York City... Of course , a house in Amherst or East Aurora is nothing to them To somebody living in the City of Buffalo.. a house in cheektowaga sometimes seems impossible to them, a house in East Aurora would be like a fairytale

Parts of cheektowaga and West Seneca are still really nice. The parts that touch the city have some problems But South cheektowaga around stiglmeier Park is still really nice , and so is the area around maryvale school systems in cheektowaga Real estate in those areas are well up over 10 20 years

I've just been around the game for so long. And know tons of D1 and pro players and it's really not a secret The vast majority of NFL players don't love the game anymore. From Little league to high school to college to pros, the number gets smaller every step The Tom Brady's of the world, who still get emotional because they were overlooked, and they love the game that much, are rare

williamsville Amherst and East Aurora have been prime real estate in West New York for years It's pretty damn expensive but it's gorgeous

We we may start seeing that in the near future We're already seeing some players retire at 25 26 27.. if your head's not in it, you are way more likely to get hurt... because in a violent sport like football you need to be 100% all In

I never got the guys who didn't love the game but played. Like if you took your determination and work ethic towards that sport, and put it into something you do like, you'd probably be destined for greatness in whatever you chose to do But sometimes it's the check that is too good to ignore

That usually starts happening in college. It's about 60 /40 in D1 60% still love the game but you're starting to get large number of people who think it's a chore or a ticket out.. and every year you go past that the number gets higher and higher When you do something every single day for 20 plus years, sometimes it does become a chore. Playing the game is fun but that's only 1% of the work you put in The other 99% is working out ,rehab , film study, nutrition, and that's not fun and takes a toll on a lot of players

I'm honestly not surprised The majority of pro football players don't like the sport anymore. Like at least 70-75% They just realized it's a way to make money because they're good at it. They lost the passion for the game a long time ago it's only about 10% of NFL players that truly still have a passion for the game. And those are the guys you want because they are always willing to work and learn

I think it's the hair that throws everything off. Deion was bald for the last part of his career, but he had a sort of fade earlier in his career If you look at it while trying to remove the hair it might be a bit closer. Still not the greatest

that's true but I could still post 1000 articles about how it's very unsafe to fast track a vaccine under 1 year The average time to develop a vaccine is still 10 to 20 years. Under one year is Ludicrous still The fastest fast tracked vaccine is 5 years.. under 1 year is crazy

The first polio vaccine killed some children and left others with paralysis because they rushed it out Nothing would change today if they fast-tracked a vaccine

Belichick has way too much pride to go 0 and 16

Tebow just never realized he was actually right-handed

In 1955 they rushed out the first polio vaccine which actually killed some children and left others paralyzed or with paralysis.. they abandoned that first programme immediately after And I was wrong most vaccines take 10 to 20 years to develop. A vaccine produced in under a year is extremely risky, says all doctors https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-risks-of-rushing-a-covid-19-vaccine/ Rushing something of this magnitude has zero benefit's especially knowing that the actual death rates of covid are a lot less than thought in March.. I could bring up a thousand articles about why rushing vaccines are dangerous, and sometimes only enhance some problems

That certainly can be true. But Nobody here was alive to see how he treated natives and he could've been respectful We only have things written down If it wasn't for the wild west show nobody would know who he was

He killed 4000 maximum. There were 65 million He didn't even dent it, and he personally didn't cause the diseases to creep in. that second article literally says over population of Bison led to starvation and disease and the natives used to keep that in check. Okay, that has nothing to do with Bill Cody But a couple posts ago you were saying that Cody killed all the bison that the Sioux depended on? So what is it? Did Cody kill so many plains bison that the Sioux couldn't function properly? Or where the bison overpopulated, and ecological factors led to their decline? that article said they were so overpopulated that they were starving to death, and since they were malnourished their immune systems didn't work And I never praised Bill Cody once. I never said he was an honorable venerable man who should be held in high regards, or anything like that I Said he was a scout and the owner of a frontier show which made people money.. that's all, nothing more or less.. But it's certainly not something that needs to be dragged up about changing our name

There's no way a vaccine put together that quick could be safe Even fauci and other doctors and scientists have said the same Something that takes usually five or more years cannot be fast-tracked in 8 months safely

Because lots of people don't like going against the status quo But it's just a numbers game. There weren't enough settlers out west to wipe out 60 million Buffalo Let alone their territory was over vast amounts of land. They were not hunted to near Extinction, it was a host of ecological factors

Yeah you can tell the Bangals the plays beforehand and they still wont be able to stop him lol

Until Lamar get better at throwing outside the numbers.. which I have my doubts on The blueprint will stick. But you need the right defensive personnel for the blueprint which only a few teams have
