All of this is very apparent. But his voice. Oh my, his voice! Truly ear splitting; a voice for print journalism.

To me, the essence of the OP's question pertains to the wisdom of making decisions based on a small sample size. I think it's a valid question. We COULD look at his back shoulder TD throw to Benjamin, recognize that we never saw Tyrod make that throw, and extrapolate that to say Peterman may be the best bad weather QB ever. That would be a ridiculous extrapolation. But so too might be tossing him over one half of bad football.

I think I'm in this camp.

Nah, I think it was a problem on my end - my sarcasm meter's on the fritz.

^^ Are you telling or asking?

Wow, I didn't realize there are still people left who think DD even HAD a source.

Since Butler is seen as a DC prospect, this hire may also ensure Frazier doesn't get too comfortable.

So maybe I'm just slow but after reading JW's article I'm not clear on whether the hiccup yesterday was essentially a last minute effort by the Bills to manage their cap situation, or if it was EWood disputing some aspect of his bonus. I was hoping Wood was actively (graciously?) working with the team to find a cap friendly "out", but I'm not sure that's the case.

Dumb list filled with inaccurate statements, but what takes the cake is mentioning Wood in that list. That's just ignorant.

Well today is the big day. Taking him in at 5:00. Have had some good chats with the fam and where this has fallen is, I'm doing it alone. He really has been "my dog" for many years so it's probably appropriate. I want to thank all of you for your support and suggestions. Very helpful.

To my recollection, he said the former, not the latter.

I wonder what the football people at OBD are thinking when they hear Brandon refer to football as "content". That has to be irritating.

I'd submit that the ruckus "creator" as you put it, is the one who puts the lies out there in the first place.

I couldn't disagree more. If holding the truth in high regard is passe, then call me old fashioned. Anonymous internet or not, I still cling to the belief that we all have an obligation to tell the truth. Stating opinions is perfectly fine; that's the lifeblood of this board. But its not OK to say you have a source when in reality the only one speaking to you is that little voice in your head. We have very passionate people on this board, some of whom are easily manipulated and excited. It's not Ok for them to be used and manipulated by a few pathetic posters whose only distinction is their desperate need for affirmation and attention. These people need empathy and help, not enabling.

Should I know what this means?

How very true, and how very embarrassing to any poster considering himself serious. I highly recommend the ignore function as it can save a lot of irritation, but it does have its limitations. For example it doesn't shield you from idiocy when others quote the "ignoree" in their posts.

Your point is valid and well made but, FWIW, moniker doesn't mean what you think it does.

Thanks Scott for making this possible.

I wish I could say this was an analogy as you say. Parting ways with a mediocre QB is much easier IMO. BTW, thank you all for your advice and empathy. This is a tough one.

So I found myself making an appointment this morning to have my 14 year old dog put to sleep. He has been a wonderful pet, rescued from a shelter at 1 year old, but has hips so deteriorated he can now barely stand. He's been on pain meds for awhile but when he stands up he's leaning worse than ever. I'm planning to do the deed myself, although my wife and daughter have offered to join me at the vet. I've politely declined and they haven't pushed back. I'm not really sure if I've refused their "help" out of selfishness or if Im actually protecting them from the sight of it. Any suggestions or advice is appreciated.

What exactly are the character concerns, other than being "brash"?

This is her pic on the NFL.com website. Am I crazy or does she look different on air? Maybe she got a nose job?

Probably. Make the sausage in private then do the fanboy stuff for the TV cameras.

^^Antithesis of class.

What's the difference?
