    Refereeing should be done from a central office with numerous camera angles for each game. 

    I think there is a place for this (the missed PI and the blow to the head that wasn't). OTOH, video technology is still only 2 dimensional. It lacks the depth perception inherent in having 2 eyeballs.

    That's kind of my point college kids can eat fast food anytime but given the opportunity to eat at the most powerful person in the U.S.'s house you might think you get to eat food made by a pretty talented chef. The visit isn't about the food there are a lot of things that should be great about it the visit the food is just one thing but it's still a thing. Like with a lot of things both the media and President are at fault for us having to see this stuff everywhere. The media for fixating on stupid ***** and the President for parading it around.

    Hey! When I was that age a bag of Doritos Nacho Cheese chips was a gourmet dinner.

    The Eagles can opt into the contract, which carries a $20 million salary, by picking up the option a month before the start of the 2019 league year. The salary is guaranteed on the 3rd day of the league year. If the option is exercised Foles may still become a free agent by paying back the $2 million signing bonus he received in 2018 as part of this new contract to void the 2019 league year

    Foles cap hit will be over 23.8 million on a tag.

    I mean, what would be the point of having a payback/void option, if he could just be tagged?  It would be pointless, right?

    Eagles: “we have exercised our option and we are gonna trade you to the Arizona Cardinals”

    Foles: “Ok, here’s $2M, I’m a free agent now”

    Eagles: “We accept your $2M but HAHA!  TAG!  Now you’re not free once again, and we’re still gonna trade you to the Arizona Cardinals.  Or the Broncs.”

     

    Foles would be $2M poorer, and still stuck with a situation he may not want.  What would be the point?

    If they pick up his 2019 league year option it cost the Eagles $20 million. If Foles opts out by paying back the $2 million and is subsequently tagged for $23.8 million he gets $23.8 million minus the $2 million he payed back for a cool $21.8 million. Under this scenario Foles wouldn't be $2 million poorer, he would be $1.8 million richer.

    You also need to consider the positions. Inexperience at RB is a non-issue, for example. OL experience could make a difference or at WR. Trading down and picking up another 2nd or 3rd might allow us to get one of the top interior OL in the draft. for example. I don't know who's who, but they generally get picked later than the OT's.

    Pretty much agree except for RB. While not an issue as far as running the ball is concerned. Knowing when to stay and block or go out as a safety valve. Knowing who to block and knowing where to be on a blitz is pretty important and undervalued. That all comes with experience and coaching.

    The back end of your 90 man roster is typically made up of 7-10 college free agents. Wouldn’t you rather blue chip first, second or third round players competing for those roster spots? Not saying we’ll be able to trade down but those high round picks are gold if you pick right.

    This is what the Bills get this year:

    1st - 1
    2nd - 1
    3rd - 1
    4th - 2
    5th - 2
    6th - 1
    7th - 2

     

    Likely the first 4 rounds picks all make the team. Assume one from the 5th and one more from the 6th and 7th. That is 7 rookies or 13% of the 53 man roster. Imagine trading down in the first for a 1st and a 3rd. Throw in a undrafted rookie and your up to 9 or 17% of your roster. At some point, and I don't know what that point is, the inexperience becomes a liability especially early in the season. IMO, they would be much better served if they traded down and got future draft picks. For example instead of a 1st and a 3rd a 1st and next years 3rd.

    I hear Tom Bradys family are also an IPad Family.........

     

    I have been looking at Surface Pros for the last year wanting to get one. They used to use them at my work before I started but just switched to IPad Pros. I wanted something with the pen to make notes over plans or photos. Its handy to have that option and they are much better then the old stylus to write with. The problem is that there are so many surface options and they can get expensive very fast.

    IPad's are consumer electronics devices. A big drawback is they don't have multi-user support nor can they authenticate to a Windows domain. This makes them a pain in the butt in a business environment. It's hard to find anything in the enterprise class of devices that doesn't support some form of authentication with a Windows domain (either Active Directory or RADIUS authentication).  Apple seems to still be suffering from the siege mentality by the ghost of Jobs. 

     

    Bought my wife a Surface Pro and she loves it. Her keyboard has started acting up and a new one is around $120. They are pricey. For work I have a dell laptop that turns into a tablet when you rotate the keyboard all the way to the back of the screen. It has a 15" screen which if you're sitting on the couch works great as a tablet. If you're walking around trying to input stuff into it it's a bit more difficult to hold onto then a true tablet.

    Running to the ball would have carried him out of the endzone before he secured the catch, he would have had to try to get back across the line and probably didn't know if anyone was behind him.  It's physics, go learn some.

    So now you're going to move the goal post with pure speculation. You said:

    Clay would have had to come out of the endzone to catch that ...

    The video evidence shows quite clearly you are wrong. Your response to the video evidence shows everybody how pathetic you are.
