    Gronk is a millionaire

     

    think brother think, its not just a hat rack

    i asked  a question,  you want to tell me or give a smart  response.

     

    If i had to guess you either have class enough and dont like millionaires or you think he has deep pockets and might get sued which I think is ridiculous.

    This level of financial acumen belongs in the Business section of The Buffalo News!

    Yes, i was thinking the same thing, didn't even bother to respond to it, not worth it trying to educate people.

    I think Americans have been dumped down by smart phones, internet, etc. 

    I see some of the workers at job and wonder how they got job other than they are contractors and the contracting companies hire inexpensive workers from home country.

    Anyone note the irony here?

    Yeah but it was and remains a colossal error in judgment to have selected him 9th overall, notwithstanding his upside which you nicely summarize.

     

    I really like the OP's examples.  Not sure what I could add to his list in terms of whiffs with the same magnitude.

     

    Can't overstate what mistakes EJ, Sammy, and Rex were.  

     

    I think as a second rd pick cJ would have been fine, i just think as far as the multiple number of whiffs the Bills have had I dont think CJ in rd 1 would make my top 50.  Just look only at some of the 1st rds we have had, just since 2000, Mike Williams, Aaron Maybin, Erik Flowers, EJ Manuel, JP Losman..none of these guys should have been drafted at all

    Losman, Rex, Maybin, Sammy for sure.

     

    I'd also add in signing Langston Walker and Derrick Dockery to big contracts at the same time.

     

    Good call upthread on letting Pat Williams walk for what turned out to be barely $1mil difference.

    What made it worse was our OC, was it Alex Van Pelt, that decided we were going to use the hurry up offense, since it worked so well 20 years ago with Jim Kelly...poor Walker, it almost killed him, total mismatch of players to scheme. That decision to try the hurry up since Edwards was supposedly so smart and could run it was a total joke.

    Anyone else catch this? 

    "When police asked where he lived, his address turned out to be a multimillion-dollar home on the Intracoastal Waterway, not far from the party.  Neighbors confirmed that he lived there with his parents.  Horton was arrested and booked for burglary, grand theft, and trespassing. "

     

     

     

     

    I dont get it, why in the world did he enter the party?  Had he just walked away with Bortles wallet he probably would have never been caught

    Wouldn't feel too bad for him, he made more than enough money to live comfortably, and he's not too old to resurrect his career and really finish the next 4-5 years strong if he decides he wants to.     It's all on him at this point.  

     

    Murphy, holy hell that's  a home gym???   

    Actually I was talking about his personal life, he had a series of tragedies including his brother getting murdered a few years ago.

     

    Did I read correctly that you said Groy can play tackle?  If true that is amazing versatility, keep him on the bench as insurance of Bodine is serviceable.

    AJ has enough arm strength and the guy is pretty accurate. I still think Allen beats him out in camp, but he will get a fair shake here and he's better than Peterman.

     

    This high light reel is instructive for a few things, he was hardly ever under pressure, his receivers usually had got separation/had their man beat and had ibncredible YAC.  I give AJ credit, he did slide in the pocket nicely twice and had nice placement on the ball but this is more a testimony that he was as much the product of a great team as anything.

    They weren’t gonna leave until the lease is up anyways

     

    they were always gonna be at SJF this year and next year and such.. after the contract who knows

    Unless you can read their minds and know about the contract you cant say that.  It is quite likely a lot of Brandon's "inappropriate behavior" occurred at SJF, esp since he was probably away from his wife.  Bills could claim SJF didn't provide a safe and secure environment for Bills personnel.  Maybe the detectives uncovered some funny business Brnadon was doing with his alma mater.  Maybe The Bills, beyond Brandon himself,  ever really wanted it there.  Multiple ways that Bills could have gotten out of that contract.  SJF might be totally out of the loop with what Brandon did and this communication re-assured them.  The tweet cost the Bills nothing and assured a lot of people.  As I said before, smart move on her part.

    So she said, "Here are the contract terms.  I'm from Rochester."

     

    That's some impressive ****, right there.

    Do you know the terms of the contract? It was most likely signed by Brandon, there may have been an out if he departed.  Or she may used his behavior to get out of the contract.

     

    So yes, it is impressive she cane out and proactively made the comment.

    It's odd that Russ had a blowup with McDermott since Russ was just up in the business office crunching numbers and selling seats.

     

    I can't think of any reason why coach would be that mad unless Russ was sticking his nose where it didn't belong OR pulling a Ted Nolan with a player's wife or something.

     

    Beane and McDermott are really Terry and Kim's first hires, given that Rex happened right after they took over and were not prepared for that type of turnover.

     

    Russ was the pool table in the basement that came with the house, and they finally decided to put him up on Criagslist

    spot on great post

    It might also be germane that he was not chosen as the best QB in the conference. In fact, he only got "Honorable Mention." But, hey, McD will fix him and he'll be a franchise QB by September.

    That is a liittle scary
