Doc Brown

Agreed but the thing is I don't know if Beane wants to set that precedent for someone at the end of their rookie deal. I always thought some likely to be earn incentives was the easy compromise.

That's a rugby jersey. The tush push and now this. Pretty soon we're going to refer to a touchdown as a "try."

That's the extension I liked the least as he took a step back last year. Still, Milano's gone after this year probably so it give the Bills some stability at the position. It's a little easier to swallow when Edmunds is making $18m/year and the Eagles signed Baun for $17m/year. I think $10.54m/year was fair especially when only $14.1m was fully guaranteed. It's an easy contract to get out of after two years as I'm sure injury concerns were part of that equation. McDermott obviously loves the kid and sees him as the leader of the defense so I'll trust his judgment.

I'm a little surprised Rousseau and Benford both got extended for what will be a bargain of a contract if they both stay healthy. Take it or leave it is a good strategy when there's a year left on their rookie contract. Seemed everybody played ball but Cook.

If I was undervaluing Trubisky than I wouldn't have even suggested a possible trade since the Titans wouldn't want him.

Dalton Kincaid talent wise is where I'd put my chips if I had to pick one that could develop into a Superstar.

If the Bills like Might Wight I'd wonder if the Titans would be interested in trading for Trubisky. Wentz, Huntley, and maybe Beathard are unsigned so they could go that route too.

Always bet the under for season long player props no matter who it is.

I wish they'd release the full financials so I'd have a better idea of where my opinion lies. I will say this. If they could market Clark, Reese, and I don't know anyone else they could have a shot at being a good long term investment. Even if they are losing money right now they had their best year ever (tv ratings, attendance, merchandise sale) and a lot of businesses take a lot of years to make a profit believing from the start it's a good long term investment. We'll see what happens if they actually do get substantially higher pay to see what the owners think. Clark and Reese are young so it's not like they're going away anytime soon.

Colbert was better playing a fake conservative when the audience knew what it was getting with the Colbert Report. I think CBS wanted Stewart but knew he didn't want the job so Colbert was the next best option as they pulled in high ratings back to back. Especially since the audience for comedy central was younger than Letterman's. Colbert had no background as a standup comic so I don't know what CBS was expecting. He just went back to his bread and butter which was political satire making fun of the right. He just wasn't funny out of character so I stopped watching within a month or so. He had higher ratings than Kimmel and Fallon so he just stuck with it. It is funny seeing how freaked out liberals are because he was basically just a propaganda show for their party. Maybe the show just sucked in a dying industry and they were paying a guy $20m a year and losing $40m a year. Late night is a lumbering dinosaur anyways waiting for a knockout punch and that's why CBS is canceling the Late Show altogether.

I agree but I think it's just as important for last year's picks to step up in Coleman, Bishop, and Carter. Davis was the only rookie drafted in the first four rounds that had any real impact.

That's a really good one. I'd pry choose door 2 because the host knew their was nothing behind door #3. Unless you have a prick of a host.

I don't quite get the argument either unless he's arguing that he's a much more complete player now. Which he is. He's answered all the critics who've questioned his passing prowess. He's improved at reading defenses, manipulating the pocket, his short and long yardage accuracy, and throwing the ball effectively outside the numbers. He's just got to do what Allen has to do and win a Super Bowl.

Trump should've just buried it saying it would just cause more political division in our country. Mostly because for the selfish reason in I'm sick of hearing about it.

When they introduced the rookie wage scale the union could've done a better job of negotiating % of guaranteed money by draft position. When the contract runs up the NFLPA if they're worth anything will have these rookie contracts set with no wiggle room by teams.

That line of thinking means every draft pick every year sets a new precedent. It was a coordinated effort by 2nd round picks though but we're just talking semantics at this point.

I doubt a TV show is going to move the needle on any financial decision Beane makes. I hope not at least.

He'd pry go in the 40 to 50 range if the NFL had a five round WR draft for one season. I'd be thrilled if he gave us the same production as last year.

I think everyone's signed through this year unless I'm missing someone.

It was a weird hire from the start because all he knew was political satire geared to the left. Colbert was basically the MSNBC of late night and Gutfeld was the Fox News (literally) of late night. Both had higher ratings than Kimmel and Fallon so there's something to that strategy of targeting just one group of people. That was NBC you dolt.

Two other 2nd rounders already got guaranteed contracts. It wouldn't have broken precedence.

What's funny is them refusing to guarantee the whole contract. That extra $572k will be held over his head for four years?

All I'll pry remember about him is Aaron Rodgers throwing him under the bus and the Jets trading him not too long after wasting a pick trading for Adams

I never doubted they'd figure it out but didn't expect $108m guaranteed for three years. Taking advantage of Rodgers's rookie deal.

You didn't even think they were going to arrest him. I get homerism but not to that extreme.
