His team owner allowed it. So he got to kneel.

I have no idea where this is coming from, but yes police should be able to live their lives. I am very much pro law and order.

I think the guy in the middle of the defense calling signals is pretty vital.

And the company was OK with it or it would not have happened.

I’m perfectly calm. We’re in OTAs now? Let’s turn to actually watching what the kid does and quit doing things like trying to predict a kid’s future from a YouTube video. There’s a lot of confirmation bias both ways.

With respect to your last sentence, don’t you think that’s the case for any draft pick?

Yes. Talk is cheap. So why do you continue? And that goes for others on the incessantly positive side as well. At this point he is a Bill, he is going to play and we ALL need to get behind him.

And we are still where we were when all this started. A player has the right to say what he wants, people reading or hearing it have the right to express their opinions if they be negative or positive. The league and the team have a responsibility to the other players and teams to indicate the player speaks only for himself. And of course as with seemingly everything these days it all comes down to political persuasion. Some of the same people who lambasted Kaepernick for his stance fall all over themselves praising Butker. And vice versa. Speaking as an Independent, both these guys had the absolute right to express themselves however they wanted. I was OK with Kaepernick kneeling because he cleared it with a Green Beret as being appropriate, and I understand those who hated it. To me the flag stands for freedom, and what you do with your freedom may be repugnant to me but that’s the way it goes. Same with Butker. But with Butker I am less understanding because of his views about the LGBTQ community. Comments like his get like minded folks charged up and that can result in direct harm to folks who simply want to live their lives. His comments about women? Women I know waver between being pissed at the guy and laughing at him, and they are OK with someone wanting to be a homemaker. That’s not a choice the vast majority of women I know would make, but to each her own.

I think you'll see Davis on the field a lot, and the C from UGA has a shot. Hoping the DE from Troy shows something.

Yet that is what happens. The NFL protects the shield like it or not. The health care network I work for would do the same if I made remarks that ticked off a lot of folks.

They read the stories one presumes which identified him as a member of the Chiefs. Surely you realize that.

Yes they did. They needed to make sure the public knew the player did not speak for the league. Not everyone out there who read the story is an NFL fan

Gailey would have been a good coach for Josh. I wonder if Mularkey would have done well with him.

One of the all time greats

Or you could get over yourself, realize people have different opinions on things and not get so sensitive and lash out when someone disagrees with yours. This started with you criticizing McD for not using Williams to stop Kelce. One of the reasons Kelce will be a first ballot HOFer is that teams have not figured out a way to stop him. In response, you indicated you don’t really have knowledge of what teams did with Kelce but were sure some team did slow him down. So you said you had no knowledge of a subject but then said you were sure of something about it. And I and at least one other person commented on how that is, in my words, funny. We share opinions around here. And then discuss them. If you don’t like my comments on yours simply use your ignore function. Or do like many do and engage civilly in the banter that goes on. You choose. I’m gong to bed.

And twice on Sundays.

My nieces love the Bandits. They took me to a playoff game a couple years ago when I was in town. Fun atmosphere; I’d consider getting seasons if I ever move back.

I’m sorry, I swore to myself that we’d just agree to disagree, but calling the WR position pathetic based on just one desired player is way over the top.

I think you’re mistaking me with someone else about quoting an article. The individual who did so I believe said you have to cover the existing contract terms if you make a trade, and only then can you subsequently renegotiate. Other folks wiser than me have pointed out cap implications but you choose to ignore them it appears. And there is nothing I can see that suggests a rebuild. We got younger at some positions which we needed to do. And to say it yet again, a Plus/minus on one WR is not pivotal. It does not constitute a rebuild. If he brings somebody in great. If not then he’s saying he is OK with the WR room as is. Which he has already said, I believe. So you have your take, I’ll keep mine. I’m anxious for camp to start.

I’ll be interested to see how the Solomon kid looks.

You got me. I spend every waking moment reading your posts. How did you know?

I’m sorry. Was I responding to you? Silly me.

I just think the critical thing is how Brady uses guys

So I can see several guys on the roster that could do that. Samuel could. MVS could. If Claypool gets his head straight he could. Coleman could. I can see them splitting Cook out wide out of the backfield. Kincaid can split wide. The success or failure of the offense is going to depend on Brady’s schemes and play calling as well as Josh distributing. If Beane decides he wants to add another WR in a trade fine by me, but I don’t envision it.
