That is not even remotely true.
Besides, i’m not talking about “liking” someone. I’m talking the nonsense like “she’s part of our family” and “I love her”. Uh, that’s weird.
vast majority of fans like their owners. You mainly only hear negative stuff from the vocal minority.
even go to a Washington game when Snyder was being a dumb ass most fans say they love him. Not all fans pay attention.

I am not hurting, but I have prayed several times for her to get better. I find the odd demigod status that some on here have for the ownership team to be... well, odd.
your thoughts on this is odd too. Everyone likes their fav teams owners and will be concerned.

A serious question:
Baseball players/pitchers sometime require Tommy John surgery because the throwing motion in baseball is unnatural (overhand).
Softball players don't require Tommy John because underhand throwing is actually the natural motion for our arms and shoulders.
NFL QB's throw overhand....
I'm surprised more QB's haven't had to undergo Tommy John surgery.
Is there a reason?
much less throws at much lower speed. Less wind up and follow through. Arm does not go as far back as a pitcher. No mound to fall forward and down on to increase speed and stress on arm. No snapping of elbow sideways to throw curves, sliders, and screwballs.

What this guy did was horrible. He should do jail time. Never drive again.
However I don't believe he should spend his life in jail. There's a difference between reckless and malicious. This is a personal feeling, but I don't believe this level of reckless deserves life in jail. I would reserve that for multiple human fatalities, but that's just me, and I know everyone is different.
hmmm. So if his gf had died in the crash too then life in prison? But hitting a girl at 156 mph in city street coming home from bf place and burning alive along w her dog as bystanders heard her screams and tried in vain to get her out is not ??
I don't know. Glad I am not a judge and have to face all the families with my decision.

Since it relies on ever-increasing investment from ownership, do the Bills who pull in relatively little revenue each year compared to other teams ever reach a point where ownership has to pull back? Or with revenue sharing are we good forever?
as long as you have a very rich owner willing to lay out money early for sign bonuses then it can continue forever.
At some point you would think a smart NFL would have two salary caps running concurrently.
1. for salary allocated to the cap as we have now.
2. a limit on total cash outlays allowed per year regardless of it counts on current year cap. Look at spotrak and you see sal yearly cap money on a contract and then the total cash outlays by team on that contract also. Big difference in many cases. (FYI: Wilson tried to implement this and held Bills franchise to this thinking. Calling it Cash To Cap. Hindered Bills and resulted in the drought)
ex 2. to explain this would limit teams from giving multiple, large sign bonus sucking in FA's like flys on ice cream contracts per year.
This would close the competitive gap between super rich owners teams with big revenue and smaller capitalized owners and smaller team revenue.
Of course as NFL seems to want to sell all teams up for sale now to multi billionaires this may never happen and instead the less rich owners will be pushed out.

How would we classify an NFL HC who reports directly to ownership (so on-par or slightly above Beane in the organizational flow chart)? Is McDermott the functional CEO? Probably here in Buffalo he is. And Beane is the CFO/COO. I'd think in other, more vertical orgs, the President/Vice President/top Exec is the CEO while the GM is the CFO and the HC is the COO. It's not a 1:1 analogy between disparate companies, but it's interesting to compare NFL organizational flow charts.
As a long-term approach to work/life balance, "sleeping in the office" is a very American, unhealthy behavior. But as a 5-20 year approach to being a TOP exec trying to grow and maintain a successful corporate culture, it makes sense. Sean McDermott has this amazing shot at RUNNING AN NFL ORGANIZATION. He had some initial success piloting a previous regime's company, and has now had even more success after completely overhauling the org according to his own vision. THIS is his best shot at realizing his ambitions. Many of us encounter windows of opportunity deserving of short-term work/life sacrifices. Almost NONE of us reach the absolute pinnacle of our fields (which I'm arguing deserve increased sacrifice in order to best maximize the opportunity).
Oh, and he's making millions annually doing what he is obsessed with. It's just such a unique circumstance.
he needs to reallocate some of those work hours and attend game management seminars to learn how to coach in high pressure late game situations. Failures that he has consistently failed at. 13 secs being the call for help. That is his only weakness that is apparent right now.

So I saw this question on Twitter & thought I'd ask it here just for fun. What 3 players from 2000-2017 era of no playoffs would you guys choose to replace a current roster member with? Also, which specific known starters would you replace with them?
**********
1. Takeo Spikes, LB - He normally played ILB, but I'd replace Milano as I'd prefer to see him & Edmunds on the field together. But if it came down to it, I'd take him over Edmunds too.
2. Ruben Brown, LG - He sometimes was called "overrated" by fans, but the guy made 8x Pro Bowls & 4x 2nd team All Pro on the Bills. He made the playoffs, but he played for us until signing with the Bears in 2004. I'd replace Ryan Bates & hope Saffold can play RG 😁
3. Marshawn Lynch, RB - There's a lot of good picks for RB, but I think having a really powerful, hard to tackle back that can get those tough yards would be best. I know the conventional wisdom would suggest someone good at catching the ball & be a dual receiving threat, but I think Lynch would kill it in this setup. The field is so spread out, he'd have a field day, and Josh would be the additional running threat if plays break down. Plus, there are just those short yardage situations you'd prefer to have Lynch over a QB sneak or a more shifty guy like Shady.
**********
Anyway, I really wanted to put Kyle Williams on the list, or an underrated guy like Terrance McGee who was a strong CB & ST guy (CB in particular has some nice candidates), but these are the 3 I'd love to take most.
Like Brown, Kyle Williams also was not from the drought years. He made playoffs.......😎😂
I would take Jason Peters, Spikes, Lynch. Drought year guys. That was the assignment.

Do they even tear down their old buildings? I thought most of them are just left to rot.
yes most of them. Gordmans moved into some. Then sadly died during Covid shutdown.
In my area one was smartly remodeled into a Farm and Fleet. Sort of a Lowes or Menards geared for Farmers. W car repair garages too.
And Walmart execs in abandoning mode......take note...Farm and Fleet original building right next door was demolished and replaced with Casey's convivence store and gas. Also a bank.

Considering he’s worth $57.9 Bil., I think he can afford it. Not only that but his family separately is worth billions each. Less than Robson Walton, but their wealth is insane.
I believe he pledged to build a SoFi type stadium with his $.
Good for Denver. I guess they never need to worry about relocation, and with exchanging salary to signing bonus, you have to have enough equity for cap to cash to do these deals per league rules with the CBA.
Yeah, that won’t ever be a problem. This will be a shiny toy for him. He wants to make more $, he’ll drop another 20 Walmarts in India or wherever. I was surprised 18 years ago in a couple of smaller cities in China when we adopted my daughter, there were a bunch of Walmarts there.
that would be smart af. Just build it now to cover current stadium and of course have a much bigger footprint of the roof like SoFi did.......then can just build a new stadium under it at any time.

he said when he entered he planned to play 8 years in NFL and retire.
so why did he sign contract into and through 2024? year 11 ???
and now he wants an extension?? To kick in in 2025? year 12 !! 🤣 🤣WTH, is he on glue?

Wrong. The team would have him examined by an independent physician. Just saying “I’m hurt” doesn’t cut it.
you can't prove pain.
if player says he has pain, team is stuck.

I was over 13 seconds once the game was over. Things happen in games. Life moves on.
Yes. There is "Life" and then there is "Sports Life." Life moved on as it always does.
Sports Life?....that died a little that day and is never coming back. Coaches blew it.

why would anyone need to “despise” something like PFF?
how is it possible to be that worked up over it?
weird
because if PFF takes bribes to boost the players ratings it is a fraud masquerading as vital intel on players play, talent, and worth.

Gore played a hundred years of CTE inducing CTE trauma football.
And likely due to that, thought CTE inducing boxing was a good career move.
No. Gore is not winning. Sadly.

Man…the fact police “talked him into putting down his gun” further illustrates how race factors into this. A white supremacist murders 10 people, with 11 of the 13 people shot being black, and police talked him down? It’s a trip. I pray something positive comes from this
omg that's not right if that's true. F'd up world for sure.

Apparently this kid live streamed it on twitch and lists the New Zealand shooter as one of his heroes. I guess my point is, do you think we’d have so many of these shootings if they never got coverage? I know it’s an impossible question because it couldn’t happen, but people copy what they see. You’re right in that they’ll find a way to express that hatred, but I have no doubt they love the attention of these mass shootings.
they will find a way. If not media they will read books etc etc..........

vets dont need waivers. They become FA when cut.
XFL not doing this. Likely thinking they have heads up on players that way.
