    Shady on verge of cementing HoF status?

    It'll be close. Not a sure thing altho he is without a doubt an excellent RB. Not in the OJ,Sanders,Brown,Campbell  etc league of sure first time balloters.But perhaps after 2 or 3 tries ala Thurman.

    And quite honestly--in shady's favor..I dont think Shady needs anything at all more in his career  to augment the argument for him. He paid his dues and has played at a high level for more time than most RBs.He is almost 30 and has done everything that he could do.  He either is or isnt a hall of famer based on his already substantial accomplishments and unique style.

     

    Agree he isn’t first ballot. But 2-3 ballot isn’t out of question

    I think McCoy is a borderline HoFer. He is maybe the 5th best RB in football now.And was mainly about a 5th best kinda guy hos whole career.

    An excellent RB? Yes. a hall of famer? Gonna be tough.

     

    He is a 2 time 1st team all pro at RB so by that standard he was atleast the 1st-2nd best back in the league that year

     

    He is always near the top of the league in yards from scrimmage 

     

    He is a receiving threat as well

     

    If he reaches 12k he should make it

    I’m sure he was best friends with my father-in-law who was a dentist on the Missouri. Or maybe had a root canal...or something....

     

    My grandfather (God rest his soul) brought back a couple Japanese officer swords as war prizes 

     

    He left Germany as a child in 1930 and enlisted at 16 under the Alias John Smith as 1st generation Germans couldn’t fight . 

     

    He was eventually caught but forgiven and allowed to stay enlisted because he was a good soldier and loved America

    If he gets to 12k then yes, but if he retired right now then definitely not. 

     

    He's a great RB but he's been on bad to average teams his whole career, which like it or not has an impact on HOF voting.

     

    Well he certainly isn’t retiring today.

     

    He says he is going to play 3 more years. Even 800 yards a year for 3 years gets him over 12k

    On a similar note, I always thought it was cool that the Steelers logo is only on one side of the helmet.

     

    Not totally sure what that is about, but it's interesting and unique.

     

    I think Cleveland has, overall, one of the absolute worst uniforms in the whole league...but not b/c they don't have a logo.  I agree that is kind of cool.

     

    But that color scheme!  It's just horrible. 

     

     

     

     

     

    I love the artistically painted bison all over Buffalo! 

     

    Whoever was the impetus behind that movement deserves bonus points.

     

    And hey, while we are at it.  Not that this is a new idea or anything, but how about all city of Buffalo grade schools have the kids paint their idea of a good logo on a sheet of paper with a blank helmet drawn on it.

     

    Maybe the art teacher (if they still have those)  could pick the best 5, and send them to the Bills.

     

    Someone in the marketing department (?) at the Bills goes through each school's top 5, and picks the best.

     

    That is then translated to a sticker to be placed on the team's helmets, and worn in an actual game as "third jersey" type thing...

     

    Tie the whole "one Buffalo" concept into with the schoolchildren being part of the "one" and you have a winner.

     

    I have no doubt some kid out there would produce something really cool.

     

     

    Thats not a bad idea but I am too fond of our classic uniforms and helmets.

     

    i don’t know if id like a sticker of another uniform on our helmet...

     

    but as you said I guess they could make the winner into an alternate 

     

    as yes some schools in Buffalo still have art class... some ?

    I strongly disagree with most of the ordering of that list.

     

    He has Redskins in "bottom 5" ????

     

    It's one of the best in the league.  Whether or not you find it disparaging is a different issue entirely.  As a logo, it's fantastic.

     

    He also has the Bills as one of the top logos; I have always found the charging buffalo lame and it is now rather dated to the time of its inception, graphically.

     

    He has New England's "new" logo also fairly highly rated.  I think it's probably the worst in the league, and not just b/c I hate NE! 

     

     

     

     

     

    I agree the Redskins logo is fantastic

    How does the graphic designer with the artistic eye not see that the Falcons logo is shaped like an "F"?

     

    He makes a good point with his praise of the Saints logo being a symbol around the city of New Orleans and giving it points for that.

     

    Truthfully, we really don't see a whole lot of buffalo or "bison" representations around our city...we need to work on that.

     

    There are tons and tons of “Bison” statues around the city 

     

    from sitting on the grass near the thruway, to artwork bisons dotted all over the city 

     

    there actually are tons of Bison statues

    As I said in an earlier post that, is not the flag or the anthem that our servicemen fought and died for . It was for our RIGHTS. The Supreme Court has over and over again said that a citizen CAN  desecrate the flag. It is within our free speech right. I would not do it and the vast majority would not do it , but it is our right. It is our RIGHT To protest . Colin chose to protest in the manner he thought would draw attention to the  lack of justice for minorities . Unfortunately , the president decided to politicize his actions .This is what polarized the country. Even the president does not understand the constitution with regard to our rights. The posters who say that everyone must stand for the anthem and flag are only partially right, Active duty service people and  some contractual situations must stand . The NFL is between a rock and a hard place because any effort to legislate a dictum to the players , would make their correct null and void.

     

    But you don’t have full  freedom of speech when working.

     

    i can’t say or do anything to my boss without repercussions at work. I’ll lose my job

    One more year like last year (plus a little change as he slows down for a year or two), and I say he’s in. Now, how are those hammie’s feeling? 

     

    Some styles tend to hold up better than others. Compared to other bigger hulking backs Shady takes fewer big shots and still is super quick 

     

    his game isnt about speed, it’s about his vision/quickness which he still will have for a few more years

     

    who knows how he is in 3 years though

    He’d stand a better chance if he'd played on a great team and had more personal and post season success. He needs to stay healthy a few more years. I admit I didn’t click the link, but I am curious how his numbers stack up. Chalk one ignorant post up to pure laziness, while just going by instinct. ? 

     

    He has 13,740 yards from scrimmage , ahead of OJ Simpson and just behind Adrian Peterson

     

    If he gets 1100 more yards from scrimmage this year he becomes just the 11th player to reach 1100 scrimmage yards 9 or more times

     

    one of quickest players to 10,000 rushings yards by carries

    I am totally torn about something with fortnite..my son has actually started to make some money playing on twitch...but he leaves Monday till Mid August for his camp counsellor job.  So the real job, with no electronics for 2 1/2 months... or starting to get paid for playing video games?

     

    Unless you are a world class twitcher he should go to work lol

     

    i don’t see how making 5 dollar donations and subscriptions at a time can pay the bills

     

    unless he was bringing in a few grand a month
