A great many of them do, starting with Colin Kaepernick... oh and BTW, so does Marshawn Lynch. There's a spectrum of behavior across the NFL just like any other segment of society. The problem is trying to paint them with one brush and thinking that they're all a bunch of self-consumed prima donnas. Many of them give their time, efforts and money heavily back into the neighborhoods they grew up in and the cities they play in.
I know some of them do but I would say that group is the minority of the protesters.

It's funny how the right wants us to kiss the rings of the old, white rich and be thankful for everything they give us.
But when the rich are young black men, they're unappreciative of what is given to THEM.
The owners control the purse strings, but the players are the product. Their elite skills fill stadiums, not the business acumen of Jerry Jones or Robert Kraft.
If these players cared so much about making a difference why don't they go out and do something about it then. Taking a knee or raising a fist doesn't do anything for a cause they are protesting. Why don't they hit the streets and attempt to make a change first hand. I know some of these guys do but the majority of them would just rather take a knee just to start a controversy. If there is a problem one of these guys want fixed they should go out and help try to fix it because taking a knee won't solve any issue. In fact all it does it create a bigger issue and divide people even further.

So all the other student athletes, toiling away in the weight room, at practice, risking injury, traveling during Break, and competing in their sports at the NCAA level while still going to class, etc. get what exactly?
No one's forcing them to play. They can walk away from the sport if they want to.

I’m calling BS on this. This is his company. Does it really seem like the type of product that could make you “$et for life?”
I'm just relaying what he said. He said he no longer has a full time job just does things here and there because his board game allows him the luxury to do that. Whether he is full of it or not I do not know.

I listened to WGR as a kid growing up in the Buffalo area and then listened again on The website/app when they added options to live stream.
Once every so often, I hear of a former personality named Brad Riter. I know that he occasionally subs on-air as well. My question is who is Brad Riter? From what I can gather he used to have a regular show on WGR but he either left or was fired. Does anyone have the details?
The other day he was on and went into detail on why he left. He invented a buffalo sports trivia board game and it was very successful. It was successful enough that he went on to make a bunch of other cities sports trivia board games and now he just kicks back and lives off of his earnings from the board games.

I never said it'd be based on solely on some Instagram post... I'm just saying that if she contacted the league with verifiable evidence, it could fall under the NFL/NFLPA's
Reasonable Cause Testing Policy. (See page 6.)
In which case he'd have to turn in a sample.
Unless she has a video or photo of him shooting up the league would never even think about testing him. The NFLPA would have a field day if they tested him based on hearsay.

Losing Wood, Incognito and now Shady. Nah, the running game will on cue as always and that will open up the play action game. Right? Right?
Wgr just had a segment this morning about a successful running game and the impact it has on the play action game. The guy that did the research found there is zero correlation between the two. A successful run game doesn't mean you will have a successful play action game. Also a bad run game doesn't mean you will have a bad play action game.

If you're going to put out an Instagram post saying somebody repeatedly beat their kid and dog, you might have to prepare for some backlash of why you never reported it.
I thought this myself. Idk the law on child abuse but is one legally obligated to report the abuse of a child?

Definitely thought this thread was about the Nike logo.

So you also read where sully was one of the most read columnists at tbn.
Just because he was one of the most read at TBN doesn't mean alot of people were reading his content. TBN did their research and realized they were losing subscriptions by having his column published. If he was making TBN money they wouldn't have cut his column. He clearly wasn't making them money nor were the others. Hence the overhaul at TBN.

I think it was one way of getting rid of one of their most expensive staffers. As you know, a lot of the staff was offered a buyout, to slash costs. It gets easier to make a guy choose a buyout when you take away a large part of his job
I get what your saying. It's just so hard to speculate anything without knowing the complete details.

Cause the pegulas pulled $250,000 worth of business from the paper. It was in the article if you read it.
I did read it and also read the part where an independent consulting firm polled people and said a number of them would not subscribe if Sullivan and Gleason continued to write for them. The idea Pegula pulled 250k from the paper because of Sullivan is just pure speculation.

Every major city newspaper has a guy like Sully writing a column. He's a guy people love to hate. They read him so they can tee off on him. But they read him.
If so many people read him then why did they take his column away?

No they didn't. They drafted a WR2 to help him, not his replacement
He is definitely not a 2nd wr in the NFL. Maybe on day 1 he is but a year or two down the road this kid is definitely going to be number 1 wr talent. Julio Jones will be 30 after this season. They drafted Ridley now to be the eventual replacement for Jones.

anyone who thinks one of the best WR's in the league is going to get traded is nuts.
I hate these stupid posts. I'vr read Brady, Rodgers, and so on who can be traded and just screams of you have no knowledge of football. I'm not blaming the
OP just dumb remarks.
I think the odds of him being traded are very low, however, the Falcons did just draft his replacement and they already have a very solid group of guys at wr. Add that up with his contract situation makes it all the more possible. I still think the odds are low but is not on the same line as Brady or Rodgers being traded.

I like fat bobs but the last 2-3 times I’ve went here it was slacking a bit to their standards
That's too bad. I was there a couple weeks ago and it was as good as always.

I have to respectfully disagree with you and say Fat Bobs is the best bbq in the city.

No, it also means AVERAGE....
QUICK
AVERAGE
SLOW
Josh Allen is AVERAGE on release time... but NOT QUICK because he goes all the way back with the ball and points the ball 180 degrees backwards before he brings it forward.
Not here to argue the English language just to talk football. Anyhow I showed you a picture of Brady that looks just like the one you posted of Allen. Most everyone agrees Brady has a quick release. John Brenkus broke down Allen's release time and his words were "on par with Brady" for his release time. I get what your saying about turning the football and having a slow release. Problem is that argument doesn't hold water with Allen. He was fitted with all the equipment and tested for his release speed which was .38 seconds in case you were wondering.

He should be excited to learn from Williams. Williams is a true professional who knows the meaning of hard work. He was always the undersized underdog who had to fight for everything he has in the league. Williams doesn't rely just on talent but on grit and determination and is always pushing himself to be the best he can be. Williams is a great player for any young dt to learn from.

My eyeball test says he's plenty big for a WR, as anyone who has seen him take on SEC and ACC defenses. Any WR would be jealous of his yards after contact.
Let me provide additional facts: Over three seasons, Lamar Jackson ran the ball 655 times (Saquon Barkley: 671), attempted 619 passes and was sacked over 100 times yet he didn't miss ONE game (and hard to find where he missed any significant snaps). That's more than tough enough to play WR.
Having said that, I also think he would be a very good QB who will strike fear into defenses.
Trust me I understand what you're saying. Biggest difference is when you are a rusher as opposed to a receiver you can protect your body much better. As a receiver you don't always have the chance to protect your body. I get his height and weight. He just looks a little on the lanky side.

Lamar Jackson is 6'3" 216 - he's bigger and faster than most WRs and had more rushes than most SEC/ACC running backs without ever missing a game to injury. I think he has the body to withstand the punishment.
Kapernick took his team to the super bowl and then got black balled.
I know he is that size but he is still a bit on the skinny side. He just doesn't pass the eyeball test as being a thicker guy. That is why i said body type and not size. As far as his rush attempts there is a huge difference between a qb scrambling as opposed to a wr coming acrossed the middle.

Somehow my points either didn't quite catch, or the reading comprehension skills here are really poor.
Any QB who throws with a full wind-up with the ball pointing 180 degrees the wrong way behind the head.... is doing a lot more motion than Marino, Culter, or Cardale... which explains why the release is not "quick" by NFL standards...
Find where I said his release was "slow" or apologize for lying....
Josh Allen doesn't have a quick release... he has an AVERAGE release... there, can you understand that???
JaMarcus took his $40 million and didn't lead, try, or even stay in shape.
According to Rex, Cardale tried very hard here....
Reading comprehension falls short on you. Look up an antonym for quick. You said not quick which would be the opposite of quick. So before you want to slam someone else for reading comprehension maybe you should brush up on your own. When it comes to the release motion Google Brady release images. Brady has many images such as the one you showed of Allen. There are plenty more of these Brady ones out there.

Well probably have some trick plays lined up. It could involve him some in the season. I just don't think it would be to specifically feature him at different positions. I could be wrong.
I would agree with you on that, but who knows what they see in practice.
Dolphins will suspend and/or fine any player who displays anthem protest

No one is just talking police treatment of minorities it's protests in general. There are so many different protests going on that people can not keep them straight anymore. Your right about police treatment of minorities and it got me curious. So I did some research and the topic and found out whites are more likely to be killed by a cop than any other race. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/police-shootings-2017/?noredirect=on
