  1. Had trouble for the first time today while trying to listen at work. Not going to waste my time trying different browsers, too much trouble and its not worth it.
  2. By next year the only way anyone will care to pronounce it is "Back-Up.'
  3. I share all the sentiments here. I used to go 3-4 times a year when I was still in college, mid two thousands. I did go two years ago with my then five year old son, and even before McDermott the changes had started as far as player access and visibility. I also share the sentiment about the public access to the team since McDermott has taken over. In a way it kind of stinks because I'd like my son to experience similar things to what I did growing up and becoming a fan. However, if the added focus has results like last year my son won't have to watch crap football his entire life. So I take the good with the bad. I think you're from out of town, but Kyle Williams is doing a signing at Dave and Adams soon. No better example of a player to meet with you and your daughter if you have time.
  4. Never had issues with this thing until this morning. Incredibly irritating, to the point where I just shut it off. Not worth the hassle.
  5. A few fans have committed to donate $10 for every sack Harry gets this year.
  6. Did anyone else think this was a complete Dorsey apologist piece? For example: Dorsey getting to see the Browns over drafted Coleman: sorry, but Dorsey scouted Coleman when he was with the Chiefs, he had thoughts on him when he came in Callaways small bag of weed: NFL doesnt care if its a small bag or big bag, it's all illegal Higgins etc: Higgins was an extremely productive player at CSU and would have been a high draft pick if he wasn't slow. He isnt some Dorsey revelation. And not for nothing if the players Dorsey has outside of Coleman are so gifted why is he trying to sign washed up Dez Bryant? Bottom line is the dummy traded a talented player during camp for peanuts without knowing the wideout he drafted to replace him on the roster was just busted for pot and weapons (which the writer here chooses not to talk about).
  7. He will get a chance at the #2s next time.
  8. Oddly enough Marshalls is good. I got my son's McCoy jersey there for 17 dollars. They had both home and away. They weren't the cheesy jersey shirts either. The exact kids jerseys they sell at Dicks.
  9. Bills store at training camp Sunday.
  10. The Cantaloupe Cannon or Melon Baller.
  11. I agree. But I am a little worried Peterman is fools.gold in the preseason. He looks great because he makes quick throws. Against vanilla defenses with wider windows that works well for him. My worry is when defenses tighten up his arm strength issue will show itself again.
  12. That play right there may have cost him what slim chance he had at the practice squad. Reminded me a lot of Sammy Watkins giving up on routes. Bad news for Foster is he isn't Sammy Watkins. For a guy who caught less than 10 balls a year in college you think he'd be playing like a mad dog for the chance to be in an NFL game
  13. They looked ok. Ducasse took a penalty but they kept the qbs upright. Mills seems like he has a ton of trouble against speed rushers could be an issue there.
  14. Didnt read the other 30, and on the broadcast I thought they said Reilly. Couldnt see the player. Does it matter that much?
  15. The Reilly drop on the sideline was bad, and two of the three long balls are tds if someone like Coleman is running under it. He looked fine tonight. His arm strength really is abnormal. Not many people can make the throw he made to McCloud. If they move him along slow he has a chance. But he isn't ready just yet
  16. The guy on the physically unable to perform list is durable?
  17. I completely agree with you. However, if there is nothing to it, why make the tweet at all? And then to top it off, follow up on the tweet? If you're stating the obvious, preface it by saying "this is only my opinion but" or "I have no inside information but" Stuff like this is the reason you have Jerry Sullivan on Buffalo Rumblings blasting non-union writers. I fully support the guy's right to do something he loves, but if he truly had no real information (acknowledging the tweet was cryptic and not specific to Mack) he should have stayed off of twitter, or at the very least been more responsible about it. Because as it stands now this looks like an attempt to gain twitter followers to push his writing career.
  18. Still cant believe we traded Takeo Spikes for a guy that never played for us.
  19. I feel for the guy in terms of the loss he has suffered in his life, grief is a heavy thing. However, it's just one thing in a long list of terrible things people deal with in life. That said, Dareus is 28 years old, he will have his whole life to grow up and make amends, seek forgiveness etc. But the time to play ball is slowly dwindling.
  20. The dead cap is only 6.8 if he is released. The dead cap for a post June 1st cut is 2.9 this year, and 2.9 next.
  21. That's a good point. He really didnt specify names, we all just kind of ran with it. The vague tweet stuff is something I find a little off putting, but if I had the information I may do the same thing.
  22. I don't want to judge a guy I don't know, but it seems like the latest tweet may be aimed at moving the speculation on to Aaron Donald as the Mack well is running dry.
  23. Doesnt necessarily mean their front office people were there. However, to the original point the closest training camps to Van Nuys are Oxnard (Dallas) and Irvine (Rams) both of which are an hour away. So who knows.
  24. Both teams could easily do the trade. The Raiders have more than enough cap space to give Mack the extension once they release Donald Penn, they can easily afford Hughes in the same scenario. I honestly have no clue why the Raiders seem intent on alienating their best player by letting him hold out. They are stupid not to pay him this second.
  25. It's 100% habitual. And I've seen lives of people close to me destroyed from it. Have a friend who wont leave a job he can't support his family with because he can't pass a drug test. Had another friend shot to death selling it. Freely admit both of those things would probably mitigated if it were legal. I also don't think its a direct health hazard like harder drugs. Its addicting, but I also like to have a drink of beer or wine more than once a week so I can't judge.
