I agree with you but these athletes' future health could be compromised should they lose some lung or cardio capacity due to covid. There is a lot for them to consider not only for their present health but their future as well.

Their D was nasty! I'd love it if the Bills D could be that fierce...although so many of those hits in the 70s would warrant flags today.

When the rest of your O line is garbage, it may make decent players look bad. Wouldn't surprise me at all if Winters looks great as a Bill. It's the same, with our D line. Players that do nothing on other teams, excelled when they played for Buffalo. It's the sum of the parts, not the individuals that count when it comes to team.

In the video they quoted that by the current definition of obesity medically, 70 percent of NFL players would qualify. Their athleticism, while being a plus, could also be compromised. A nonathlete losing 5 to 10% of their lung capacity as an ongoing effect of Covid would not be impacted as negatively as an athlete.

It's not necessarily denial as much as risk acceptance. I think owners are thinking strictly about economics. For players I think it's some economics and their love of the game. Right now many players are willing to accept the risks. If we start seeing cases and transmission among players and teams, that may change.

Costas is merely using common sense. Unless you're in denial about the seriousness of this pandemic, and the impact this virus can have on the human body, I think many would agree his points are valid.

Read my post just above yours. You're welcome!

For those of you who want to assume what Costas is advocating without listening to his comments, he doesn't advocate anything one way or the other. Rather he offers serious consideration for whether the NFL has a shot at succeeding with a full season, just by the nature of the sport, the size of rosters and trying to play in 32 venues. He further mentions that at least NFL players have a union to protect them as opposed to college players. All valid points. I love and miss football as much as anyone but I'll be shocked if this season isn't curtailed in length or marred by some tragedy.

Costas is right. With the amount of NFL players that, despite being athletes, would be considered obese by medical standards, they are taking a huge risk opting in to the NFL season.

Should be a good crew. I love how Levi and Griese do college ball, as well as Herbie and Fowler. I've also always loved Riddick on the NFL shows.

Dream on. Seattle just got stronger. They are well managed and well coached. As long as Wilson stays healthy, they will contend for the super bowl every year.

23 second mark.

That's it in a nutshell. Our country's symbol is not merely a flag...but it's what that flag stands for....the freedom to take a knee before that flag in protest, or even burn it in protest like they did with Vietnam. That's the beauty of true democracy. It is not an easy system by any stretch.

I did hate it when the QB would be back to pass and Miller would say..."He lets it fly..." You'd envision a 20 yard plus pass and then Miller would continue..."and the pass was completed for 3 yards." Drove me nuts.

Before I scrolled downward, at the first sight of the picture, I said aloud: "It looks like a Roomba." The further references as I continued reading only added to the humor.

Pete Schrager posited the same thing on GMFB. They're simply connecting dots that shouldn't be connected: Bills/Carolina connection; tall, big mobile QBs

Totally agree. No one is getting blasted.

Well...since he was the top ranked kicker by Scouts and Kiper, I expect that Beane saw the value above any other player available. Plus we're now at that point in the draft where teams are drafting kickers and punters, so he may not have been available later.

Kiper just raved about him. Was his number one kicker. Said he has a big leg and is clutch.

And when Haush misses his first XP or field goal of 42 yards, you'd be blasting the Bills for not bringing in another kicker. At the very least, this is competition at the position. Beane picks gamers. Must have been something he saw on tape that led to this particular kicker.

Bills are getting good value for where they are picking. Love to see that in our GM. Unlike days of old.

That's what the Bills are drafting now. Backups! Nice position to be in.

Been watching a lot of Big Ten replays on the BTN. Lots of Wisconsin. I liked Cephus as well. Always making clutch catches.

You mean Patriots, right? Or did I miss something?

Bears are up. Fromm??
