[Which Bills did you draft in fantasy?]

I went full homer - grabbed Diggs, and both Singletary and Moss as a handcuff. Figure I have a very solid back between the two. I've also got Lamar Jackson and Saquon so it felt like a luxury I could afford.

[Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton injures shoulder, getting MRI]

Really like Sutton.

 

I'm really not terribly worried about the Broncos this year, especially after the Von Miller news, but watch this open the door for a Jeudy hot start. I still think he's going to be the best WR out of the draft.

[Josh Rosen - the perfect push]

The attitude rumors have to be somewhat real at this point, right? Either he's a limited QB, or he's a potentially talented QB with a bad attitude. I don't want either.

Man, he rivals Ryan Leaf for how quick his QB career bottomed out.  From top QB in the country in his high school class to Chosen Rosen at UCLA, 10th pick in the 2018 draft, traded to Miami for a 2nd round pick and now released.

 

Movie in the making. Is Rosen really that bad/limited? I feel like the giant attitude warning coming out of college has to still play a part, and maybe he really is that much of a turd in the locker room. It's reason enough in my opinion

He was just drafted last year (4th round) but it was a numbers game.  When a team has Hopkins, Kirk, Fitzgerald, and Isabella, tough to crack that lineup. I don’t know if he’s any good or not so we’ll see if another team picks him up.

 

yes you're right, honestly felt like he was drafted a couple of years ago. Andy Isabella is amazing, great to see him sticking around

 

but still, would take our WR group over even that stack that includes two legends. nice.

[Notable cuts around the league]

Hakeem Butler got cut, which reminded me that people here wanted him years ago, which then reminded me that it's so awesome that we're now at a point with our receiving group that nobody cares. 3 years ago there would be multiple threads if anybody like Hakeem Butler was available.

 

I also realize that I'm now that guy bringing up Hakeem Butler, but whatever. It's so awesome that WR is a strength now after years of playing which 4th string wide receiver could we pick up and make a star.

[John Brown with high praise for rookie WRs “Gabriel Davis playing all over the field”]

Best news I've heard today. Got to love John Brown too, what a vet to have in the room right now. Same with Beasley, Diggs, man. It's really incredible how quickly WR has become a strength for this team. It seemed like a rut we were never going to get out of for so long post-Moulds.

 

Josh and Gabe Davis are going to have a connection this year. You can feel it coming. 

[Lamar Miller signed by the Pats?]

Lamar Miller? What year is this? Isn't he like an older, slower Jordan Howard but with injury problems? I'm really not the least bit concerned. New England looking shaky this year.

[Matt Milano: “I’m not focused on a contract. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else”]

Of course you resign Matt Milano. Absolutely love what he's saying about Edmunds, but it also makes it clear that Milano is currently a leader in that room.

Probabilities. Odds. So sick of you fear filled guys preaching. When it comes to KIDS, Covid is actually a lot LESS dangerous and lethal than the flu. Look it up. No,  not everybody, I said KIDS. Did you keep your kids at home in the winters during "flu season"?  Why not?

 

And they are bad transmitters as well. So grand-parents and all or not that much at risk from small kids giving it to them.

 

The solution is TESTING, random at times, mandatory for some professions. Not holing up scared till it goes away... as it might NEVER go away. Get a grip. We won't be saved by holing up.

 

Of course I fear for my kids, mom and all that. It's natural, especially with all the drama made about it. But look at odds and numbers and stop preaching like Karens.

"karens"

 

a lot to unpack here.

[Would you be cool if the Bills traded Tre White for a big trade package like the Jets got for Adams?]

No, I would not at all be cool with letting this devolve into a trade situation. He's not unhappy, he's just considering opting out of a likely plague-shortened season.

He and Diggs must be hanging out already. 

 

I mean if thousands of "fans" are getting it wrong and harassing me and I was only 25 years old, I may consider just tweeting once to clear the air a bit. Which he did. I seriously expected an AB like meltdown with the way some of you are responding. He made one tweet, and now the self-righteous old man fan collective is ready to label him a primadonna...

[Tre White decides not to opt out, everyone is beside themselves with excitement because we're all in need of any small nugget of good news these days. Who wants a drink?]

I'm seeing a single tweet. That's being immature and mishandling the situation? I guarantee his DMs and mentions are making him feel real good about staying in Buffalo right now...Twitter sucks.

Yeah, but then you realize some have also died. Do you really want to roll those dice? Rhetorically speaking, that's not really an open invite for the tough guy hoax screamers to proudly yell about how many places they'd be willing to take their children right now.

 

They can also carry the virus and give it to you, your mother, your innocent old neighbor minding her business, etc. and around and around we go for the 1000th time on this board.

Gamble. No shame. I haven't left the house in 4 months and it's legal here, and if there's more than a few of us we probably don't need the meeting anyway and its just going to inevitably devolve into smaller meetings to recap the bigger meeting.

It just won't end. Hasn't he retired 3 times now? Two years from now I'm still going to be stuck in the house reading about Antonio Brown waffling on a comeback, I swear.

I respectfully disagree, but I'm not going to die on the hill if you think otherwise. It's all good. I just can't take Jordan seriously and thought Fauci treated him the same way.

[Has MLB shown a "non-bubble" plan is doomed for failure?]

MLB is over. My fantasy team is a growing list of Covid inactives. Wait until Trout opts out now that he's a dad. Unless they get some scabs there's no way they can finish the season. And didn't they shut down minor league baseball entirely? No idea what all of those guys are doing, but it's clearly just not worth it. Bubble or bust.

 

Shame because the Rockies don't look too bad right now.

Ah I forgot, in this binary Trump universe you must hate every other country in order to appreciate this one, and vice versa. I'm a happy old dad that said if I were single and 22 now I'd make a jump in these current times. Complete hypothetical. You're allowed to love this place and also say, gee, I think we're really falling behind in some seriously concerning ways right now. 27th worldwide in education with Betsy DeVos currently at the helm might not be the best that the "greatest country on Earth" can pull off, ya know? That's one example.

what a cop out. Okay, world traveler, what’s your frame of reference for making a statement like that? I know I don’t have one; I haven’t traveled to enough places. So my educated answer would be “I don’t know, maybe Denmark.” All I can go on is the data. Which you ignore and listen to the TV instead. Ignorance in its purest form. 

 

I feel like most people who scream things like this have never even left their county. High school heroes and whatnot. Uprooting is frankly impossible at most stages in life, but if I were 22 and single right now I'd move to Prague or Berlin (the irony!) in a heartbeat, although neither would accept me because I'm a disease-ridden American.

He's a smart, business savvy dude. Bills are going to have to pay him top 2/3 money, and it's well deserved. He's gone if the org thinks anything less.
