  1. If they're creative they could do some fun stuff, going around the country with video link ups in fans houses. Like, have a huge wall of screens showing Bills fans from around the country or even the world, and show their reactions at the picks. 

     

    Obviously show draft picks as well. War rooms etc. Make it even more interactive for fans and it could be great and something a little different 

    This whole thing makes Beane trading away the first pick for a proven player even more of a smart move

  2. People talk about not liking Bledsoe or Brady. Do you know which former NE QB I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally hate?

     

    Scott Zolak. 

     

    Anyone who doesn't know, he played for the Pats in the 90s before Parcells got there and was complete sh*t. His career totals are 8TDs, 7 INTS, 50 pct pass completion, 1300 yards.

     

    The guy is now an analyst for the Pats games and he is beyond unlikable. Seriously, he's so arrogant (I've heard clips of his commentary on the Around the League podcast) because of what they became long after he retired. He's also supposed to be a dick to people on Twitter. Talk about living vicariously through the achievements of someone else.

  3. This is where stats don't tell the full story. The eye test is so important. What Eli did beating Brady twice was phenomenal and I'll always love him for helping wreck their perfect season. But watching him play since he entered the league, he ain't one of the very best. At all. But I don't vote, and he will get in. 

     

    Personally I never thought Warner was quite good enough for the HOF and he moonwalked in

    The same people that bitched about TJ Graham over Wilson, Troupe over Gronk, Watkins over Mack etc, won't let ANYONE mention a blunder made by THIS organization. 

     

    McBeane have done well, but let's cut the oversensitive crap. 

    And what about the 26 teams that passed on an all pro CB before the Bills had the smarts to take him? Sure, CB isn't as sexy as QB but the point is every year great players are passed on by multiple teams.

     

    Sometimes we get them, sometimes we pass on them too. If you constantly spend your time bitching about the ones we missed that's all you'll ever think about.

     

    And anyway, so much more goes into the success of a player than his talent, like his situation, supporting cast, coach, the way he's handled early on. There are busts out there who would be great if they had landed in other places, and greats who would have been average in a different set of circumstances.

  5. If the Dolphins grab him they could really be in good shape for the future when you consider all the first rounders they have and the way they played down the stretch. Getting him and grabbing Tua or another good prospect and letting them sit for a year or two, plus some wise drafting with the other picks and they (it pains me to say) could be pretty good in a few years.

    Another place that would make some sense is Indy, he has a close relationship with Frank Reich and they have a good OL which he really needs. Not sure how that would work with the fam though. He’s very involved with his kids sports etc. 

    Definitely more sense if he wants a shot at the SB before quitting. Indy is a hell of a lot closer at this point than the Phins.

  6. In a parallel universe the Bills are preparing to face the Titans at New Era. I have sent the wife to her mother's and am sitting in my underwear with a bucket of wings on one side and several beers on the other.

     

    Still looking forward to the first game though. The NFC one, not so much. But I love the clash of styles we'll see with KC and the Titans.

    The thing that struck me about his story is how the hell  did they try to push the narrative that he became a homicidal maniac from concussion syndrome. This guy was emotionally constructed to be a violent predator by the domestically abusive father and the frustration of being a closeted homosexual. Throw in the entitled, above the law attitude that hometown football stars have , that gets supercharged by making it all the way to the pros. I'm disappointed that the iconic coaches at Florida and the Patriots cared more about his football skills than his obvious breakdown of behavior to live in civilized society. 

     

    Yep. The reason I brought up video games before is because some kids are just wired that way. They have no empathy and are able to kill animals, then move on to humans when they're older. Yes, they played violent video games, but they would have done that sort of stuff without them. You may as well blame consumer culture for their acts, or eating fast food or any other number of the thousands of things every other kid does.

     

    I think it's the same thing with CTE. Hernandez was wired to be a sociopath. That's just the way he was.

    It ALL boils down to decision making. When a person with no criminal record who made it that far in life without totally derailing...suddenly changes course and starts making decision after decision that are both irrational and illogical, you have to consider it isn't "just happening." Even the bottom of the food chain low life's make smarter decisions. These guys were no dumb guys who had no common sense. 

     

    Not every case is CTE, but because that's the case it's ignorant to act like no case is CTE. These extreme cases, in Hernandez's case PROVEN to be an EXTREME case of CTE, acknowledge it was a contributing factor. AB was always an arrogrant self entitled POS. But now he is CLEARLY a person with a mental issue that popped out of nowhere. IMO it was the hit from Burfict that did him in.

    With AB it could be so many other things. What about the extreme fame, coupled with the millions of dollars. He may have started associating with a different type of person. Plenty of rock stars are relatively normal before they hit the big time, then go crazy. Is it always the drugs? What about the ones that don't do drugs? Often it's lots of smaller things that alter someone's behavior.

     

    I'm not saying CTE doesn't have an effect on people, of course it does, I'm just starting to see it get blamed every time an NFL player acts like a piece of ***** by beating up his kids or assaulting his wife. 

     

    OBJ seems to have gotten worse over the years. Must be CTE. 

     

    And with Hernandez - I get that CTE can effect people's judgement etc. but does it effect their ability to feel guilt or show remorse? Because I saw none of that with him. And I get that it can make a person go into a rage on a spur of the moment thing, but does it also make you more likely to plan a murder some time in advance?

    Comparing kids and video games to an actual medical condition that has to do with brain damage is really foolish. 
     

    not much else to say on the matter.... Just that that’s really dumb comparison. 

     

    So why aren't all these other NFL players going beserk on other people?

     

    It amounts to the same thing - shifting the responsibility away from the criminal (or the parents) and onto something else. Everyone is a victim now, even the poor little murderer. Bless his size 13 cotton socks.

    I watched the series and I do have sympathy for the environment Hernandez grew up in, but it just seems to me that CTE may only have exasperated his violent tendencies that already existed and he may have gone down this road anyways.  I feel although his father's opinion on homosexuality created a extremely difficult home environment for Aaron, if his father had made it a few more years, Aaron would be alive today.

     

    Edit: Meant to say Aaron may be alive today.

     

    Yeah, I'm getting sick of CTE being blamed for evey player or ex player who acts like an animal. It's like when a kid does something evil and they blame the movies or video games. What about the millions of kids who watch that stuff and don't go around murdering and raping? 

     

    So every time a player or ex player beats his kids or punches his wife or shoots his friend, we can blame all the concussions he suffered. Same with boxers. Same with hockey players.

     

    Hernandez was a young man who had it all, the taken, the loving wife, beautiful kid, huge home, and yet it's clear from the video evidence that he felt no remorse for his victims. All those phone calls he never showed any regret for what he did. That is the behavior of a true sociopath. I'm sick of turning all the criminals into victims, so ***** him

    NOTE: After reading the article, this is kind of like a Timmah Graham article; reporting something that happens every year, however, but in a manner that suggests something different is happening when there is no proof.

     

    "It would appear to be, by those who are in the know, that it has been cleaned out in way that perhaps it has never has been cleaned out before."

     

    So ridiculous.

     

    Hmmm,I think the only thing that's different from all the rest is that this time he took his Tampons with him
