I'll say it. If she is hosting the show, I turn it off. I don't think she provides anything of value, personally. It is a waste of time when she is on. Locked On Bills and Cover 1 are my normal listens. I'll listen to OBL a couple of times a week. I do enjoy Steve Tasker and Chris Brown. I think they do a decent job, though they could improve their knowledge about other teams around the league. I've listened to Shout and a few others, but have not enjoyed them as much. Plus at some point it gets a little repetitive because they are all kind of talking about the same things.

If they don't believe in Dak they shouldn't have paid him $40 million per season with $125 million guaranteed. If they cut him next year it will be $62 million in dead cap.

Actually, you aren't promoting forgiveness, you are calling people out and accusing them of not forgiving him. There's a big difference. You are standing on a soap box. And it has nothing to do with dogs. It has everything to do with inhuman torture of dogs. It would be just as bad if he were torturing and killing mice or any other animal.

I haven't lived perfectly, but I certainly have not tortured animals. That's why I'm not casting stones. But I can and will be critical of his deplorable, criminal behavior. Certainly sounds like you are being pretty judgemental about people and their opinions. Perhaps you need to take your own advice.

So why give up a 4th round pick for that? Crazy.

But they have a QB, unless they are going to start a crazy QB controversy. Just really bizarre. I don't think Lance is a particularly good backup, either.

This is stupid. He tortured and killed dogs and went to jail for it. People can dislike him if they want. That does not mean they are casting stones. Jesus was not telling everyone to excuse the woman's actions. In fact, he did not excuse them either. He literally told her to stop sinning. He just didn't want her stoned to death because of them. Similarly, none of us are calling for Michael Vick to be dragged out into the streets and stoned to death. But we sure do not need to excuse or forget his horrible misdeeds. His actions will follow him forever.

Why did the Cowboys do this, I wonder?

Wait, is this positivity I sense? I thought that got banned...

He won't.

Tons of teams are playing their starters. The Bills are not unique. And they may have planned to regardless of what happened last week.

I think many players like him, though.

What do people see in the Patriots? They clearly have the least talented roster in the division.

You have to consider the strength of the respective conferences too. The AFC has been a lot stronger for the past 2-3 years at least. This year it is even more pronounced. I would not be terribly surprised if the 49ers make the Superbowl this year, but they wouldn't get close if they were in the AFC.

We are trading draft capital for busted QB's? Why would we do that?

Yes. Bates is a huge asset to this team. The coach often doesn't know much of anything until he is briefed later. He likely did not know anything at the time of his statement.

Really? I did not realize that. They joined the Pac 12 a few years ago. That's interesting they will be in the same conference again. That's pretty cool, actually. I lived in Utah for a few years, but I have never followed college sports much. Just the NFL for me.

Well, cutting them in half would be incredible, but I think he needs to not turn the ball over as much. His turnovers were up last year. We know he has the ability to turn it over less. Maybe his injury played into it, or the receivers, or whatever, but the bottom line is he needs to elevate and take command of the offense and take care of the football better. Cutting down the turnovers should be a primary focus for him and the offense.

Not considering the QB, I'd say it is fairly close. Considering the QB, the Bills are better. And, I'd say the Bills have a significant advantage in the experience and battle hardened aspects of football.

BYU doesn't play Utah every year anymore, right? Or did they start that up again?

He is a lock for the 53 now that Shell and Doyle are out of the picture. And he was playing before Doyle as it is, so maybe he was a lock before then as well.

Never, unless the NFL transitions away from the quick passing game and back to 7 to 10 step drops.

Yeah, it is important for the guys fighting for a roster spot and positions on the depth chart. For those guys it is the most important thing in the world. For the starters it is a glorified practice.

It destroyed like three houses around it and damaged a bunch of others, plus there are 6 dead from that one. My first thought was a meth lab or something, but they are thinking a faulty water heater, but to have that level of devastation from a water heater explosion? That seems unlikely to me.

I'd view that somewhat as a character concern if there was a player pigheaded enough to demand playing for a specific team and refusing to play for any other team. That's a bad way to enter the league. Maybe the Bills would skip on such a player for being such an entitled fool.
