  1. The topic he is speaking about has been beat to death. Aside from the free tuition the athletes are given, they also have the ability to walk away with a degree which will make them a great deal more money throughout their lifetime than they could have ever expected without college. Do they make the money up front? Officially no (unofficially, how many of you have driven a Cadillac in college?), but make no mistake, in some way shape or form football gives them the opportunity they may not have had without it. If having "two full time jobs" is too much for someone, they have the free will to quit one or both of those and deal with the consequences. No one is keeping them in the insufferable situation. If they dont like the situation, they have free reign to leave. I have a very hard time drumming up empathy for people in advantageous situations who complain because their situation isnt more advantageous. Average people go to work everyday for billion dollar companies in a lot less enviable situations with less personal financial gains, and somehow still appreciate the paycheck. It's pretty clear Rosen has never been one of those people. On the football side of things, his game tape is underwhelming and reminds me a lot of the Brad Kaaya hype from last summer.
  2. The only question left to ask on Sammy is if you'd pay top ten wideout money to someone like Golden Tate or Emmanuel Sanders. Sammy's production is similar, would be better if he could be on the field for more than 12-13 games a year on average. He has all the talent in the world but at this point I wouldnt pay him top wideout money.
  3. I would consider this, if you dont go permanent at the next job youll be looking at your third job in a matter of 10 or 11 months. Probably not a great look to have three job changes in less than a year. Does your current job give out a bonus every year? Do you get one at your new place? 15k a year more is a great chunk, but you will also be spending a little over a thousand dollars a year on gas with that drive. Leaving for a new job isnt going to erase awful people, they will just have a different face at the new job. Offices are shady places.
  4. Feel like the Bills have slowly but surely become less fan friendly. Didnt appreciate them getting rid of the message board, and now this weird sort of no answer answer on the Kids Day Game. The only reason to go to this game is to spend a day with the kids at a more family friendly atmosphere. I know they arent a minor league baseball team, but they do have some responsibility to fans who have handed over tons of money for a terrible on the field product.
