It's crazy how fast the offseason goes nowadays. I dont know if its my age, or a change in the way the NFL does things but I can remember waiting with very little patience for the season to start, but it seems like the gap between February and September is a lot shorter now.

A good start would be providing mentors and counseling for kids from Fatherless homes. A good start would be figuring out why 72% of minority families and 25% of all families are led by single parents. While beyond tragic, the gun issue goes way beyond Buffalo and Uvalde. 60 people a day are murdered in the United States. As usual our government is missing the point. Red tape laws will only mitigate the issue of people using legal guns to murder. Will it look good for midterms and on the news? Yes. But what the laws won't do is prevent illegal firearms for falling into the hands of mentally unstable and violent people. They are not digging deep enough into root cause analysis.

I have to be honest, it still seems like a mirage than Von Miller is on the Bills. Even opening day is going to be odd for me seeing him in a Bills uniform.

What you see is what you get. He is a guy with all the physical tools and none of the intangibles to be a Franchise QB. He will have a long career as a backup, probably eek out a few starter type seasons, but its obvious at this point what he is.

I don't think Mattingly has. However, I vaguely recall his mustache getting into some hairy situations back in the day.

Agree for the most part but Marino also doesn't belong in the Montana/Peyton/Elway tier. Brady belongs in his own tier. Marino was 8-10 in the playoffs over 17 seasons. Great regular season QB, but he doesn't belong in a tier with multiple super bowl winners.

Disclaimer: Neither my joke about Matt Fairburn being a Patriot fan, or my criticism of his reporting of Josh Allen were meant to offend anyone. Nor did I intend to make an assumption regarding the rationale of the Global Location of Mr. Fairburn, his family, his pets, his future Grandchild or his vehicles (henceforth known as MF's Toyota Sienna, Corolla, Honda CRV, Civic or other non-descript yet reliable family vehicles).

So when he left last year and said it was his "dream job" to cover the Patriots as a life long Patriots fan what he really meant was it was only his dream job when the Patriots still had Tom Brady? I know people like him here, but I've always found him overly critical of Josh Allen and his criticism always seemed more like trying to speak into existence Allen not being a franchise QB.

All of this garbage is just PR. They need to make up for two years of trying to ruin the guys career by overcompensating. Very similar to the Bills trying to convince fans EJ was about to take the step, in reality he was in the middle of losing a camp battle to Tyrod Taylor.

Went to my daughters field hockey playoffs about a month ago and noticed one of the other Dads had a Browns hat and t-shirt on. I asked him how he feels about getting Deshaun and he said "I don't know how to cheer for someone like that" Was glad to hear that. Each jerk on that message board would feel a lot different if it was their daughter.

Bad legal background and limited play calling at the NFL level.

Gotta go for the takedown when you're giving up that much height.

I like the third rule. Otherwise just more change for the sake of change. A team that can kneel it out, earned that right. Stop the team in the other 59 minutes of the game.

Yeah man it was pretty surprising to hear he was a life long Bills fan. Enjoy his MMA coverage as well. I enjoy that he gets under Dana's skin a bit.

Thats 100% correct. Now that the playing field is leveled a bit and you dont have to rely directly on shady donors to do your dirty work Saban is upset.

You really have to listen to the entire interview to get a sense of how Feliciano feels about the Bills. He was very complimentary of the Bills organization, McDermott, Beane and Allen in particular. This is a very small portion of the interview and puts him in a bad light Was surprised to hear that Ariel is a Bills fan.

Hope he spent the year getting more strength in his am because he was throwing old Peyton Manning like ducks there at the end.

I wish I'd found this thread a long time ago. The fear mongering and absurdity is amazing!

They care. The problem is the hubris and blind ignorance that comes with the caring. The country is in a complete s storm right now, but at the very least no one is getting their feelings hurt.

Outside of the dead duck.. Is there a more annoying player in the NFL than Tyreek Hill?

Welp looks like they found the idiots. Hope she enjoys her jailcell. I am sure the inmates will treat her just as well as that retirement she took a mondo duke on.

I thought that was Spike Lee.

Can the season start already...

At 32, trying to make a comeback in football essentially means you spent all your money.

Granted, Ive never been to jail...but if I had to choose between three meals, TV, and a roof over my head or waking up next to her...thered be a great deal of thought that went into my decision.
