  1. Great post, so inspiring.

     

    I really want to go to my first NFL game and i want it to be at New Era Field.

     

    Its tough to be a Bills fan in a small town in Western Canada =-(

     

    However yesterday i had my Bills toque on  and some dude gave me the thumps up and go bills in the parking lot leaving work. Made my day!

    It over shadowed the person who said "why would YOU be a bills fan" and of course my answer was..."well Bruce Smith of course..."

  2. Trent Williams didn’t pass his physical

     

    Quote

    Head coach Bill Callahan said on Wednesday that Williams did not pass his physical with the team. The reason why he didn’t get a thumbs up was because he felt discomfort when he tried to put on his helmet.

    Williams had a benign growth removed from his head this offseason. The team’s handling of that growth was at the heart of Williams’s holdout and led to reports that Williams was resolved never to play for the team again.

    There was another report since Williams returned to the team that he has no plans to actually play for them this year. Washington currently has a roster exemption for Williams, although the failed physical would complicate his status under any circumstances.

  3. Or just do a lotto for the bottom 15 teams like the NHL does.

     

    Being worst gives you the best chance at first pick, but not a guarantee. 

     

    From the wiki

     

    Draft lottery

    At the conclusion of the regular season, the 15 teams that did not qualify for the playoffs are entered in a weighted lottery to determine the initial draft picks in the first round. The teams are seeded in the basic draft order based on their regular season point totals. The odds of winning the lottery are weighted on a descending scale that gives the greatest chance of winning to the team with the lowest point total (18.5%), and the worst chance to the team with the highest point total (1.0%).

    The prize for winning the draft lottery is to be upgraded to pick first in the first round of the draft, with each team that preceded the winner in the basic draft order bumped one pick lower. For example, if the team with the 5th worst point total wins the lottery, it would pick first, and the teams with the worst through 4th-worst records would pick second through fifth. The remaining teams would be unaffected. The teams would return to the basic order for the second and all subsequent rounds.

    From its inception through 2015, there was one winner of the lottery, from 1995–2012 the team that won the draft lottery moved up no more than four positions in the draft order. If the winner of the lottery was among the five worst teams in a given season, that team won the first pick in the draft, If the winner of the lottery was not among the five worst teams in a given season, the team will move up no more than four spots, and that team will not receive the first pick in the draft; from 2013–2015 the lottery winner received the first pick overall regardless of regular season point totals amongst the non-playoff teams. Beginning with the 2016 draft, three winners are picked in the lottery. These teams win the first three picks, with the remaining teams dropping as many as three places in the first round from their spot in the basic order.[11]

    The NHL Draft Lottery takes place just before or during the Stanley Cup playoffs and is hosted at Sportsnet's studios in Toronto from 2015 onwards. From 2006 to 2014, the draft lottery took place at TSN's studios in Toronto.

  4. Tate

     

    I have Tate projecting 12.89 vs Singletary @ 5.98 via yahoo. 

     

    I am sitting Motor until he can prove he can light it up and at least give me a 15 point week.

     

  5. Allen - Thielen is unlikely to play i hear and i expect Cook to run all over the skins. Skins are 4th worst vs the run.

     

    White - Motor has been a bust so far in fantasy, he just does not get enough touches.  I am sitting him in my pool. Motor needs at aleast one break out fantasy game before i put him in again.  Cle (white) is 5th worst vs the run, Eagles  (motor) are 23rd worst.

     

    I am playing Allen over Winston and Cook & Gordon over Motor. (have Elliot but he is on a bye)

     

    Best of luck!
