    You know it really is tough looking at these situations.  First off you’re seeing a mans past rather than seeing the situation for what it is as others have stated.

    Another thing I might add is, do you know for a fact that the girl wasn’t just performing a money grab?  The only people that really know are Kolby and the 19 year old girl.

    Personally I think what you’re doing is worse than recognizing someone’s accomplishments.  You’re basically beating a deceased man with a stick.

    Read the quotes in the original post - from Kobe himself - - he almost strangled her.  What a guy!

    How the F are you not banned yet?  

    Because TRUTH rules and not silly posts like "who will the Bills draft"?  Life is reality and not a draft board son!

    Someone ban this POS for this thread.  This thread makes me never want to come back to this board again.  Seriously.  
     

    Cant even put my disdain for the OP into words.  

    who really cares - you just post about the obvious!

    I don't hate reality - just hiding from the truth in the mythical world of sports heroes!

    that children died? I would hope so. The fact that a young, transcendental athlete died, with a questionable past, and then was an outstanding father and member of society passed? yeah...Appropriate amount is ***** given. RIP Kobe

    What makes you think he was an "outstanding" father?  Who told you that???

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and say, and this is merely my own opinion..... that you are a smelly sack. Children lost their lives. Parents lost kids. Your thoughts on his character should be irrelevant at this point. LAMP

    so what is important to you??  If he wasn't and NBA player would you give a ***** - really?

    take the stardom out of it...

     

    a father and daughter died today on the way to a basketball game

     

    OP needs a reality check

    The reality is that he was a shady character in the world of sports made important by media that prays on fans that need 'stars".

    I never understood immortalizing athletes in particular. I feel sorry for his family like I would anyone else’s family, esp losing a person so young, but I never met the guy, watched him play basketball, and don’t feel some overwhelming dread like some are portraying on social media. 

     

    Young people die everyday who do great things that go unnoticed and don’t get any credit. 

    So true!  Kobe was not a "great man".  Just a basketball player with great skills. 

     

    The media loves this crap.

  5. I know the NFL is majority black and most of the players love basketball.  PLEASE - stop the hero worship for a man that raped a 19 year old girl and got away with it for $2.5 million.

    What message does that send to the fans!

     

    This is the report and statements from Mr. Bryant:

     

    Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did. After months of reviewing discovery, listening to her attorney, and even her testimony in person, I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter.

    I issue this statement today fully aware that while one part of this case ends today, another remains. I understand that the civil case against me will go forward. That part of this case will be decided by and between the parties directly involved in the incident and will no longer be a financial or emotional drain on the citizens of the state of Colorado.[21]

     

    When asked about bruises on the accuser's neck, Bryant admitted to "strangling" her during the encounter, stating that he held her "from the back" "around her neck",that strangling during sex was his "thing" and that he had a pattern of strangling a different sex partner (not his wife) during their recurring sexual encounters. When asked how hard he was holding onto her neck, Bryant stated, "My hands are strong. I don't know." 

     

    In March 2005, the two parties settled that lawsuit. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed to the public.[23] The Los Angeles Times reported that legal experts estimated the settlement was more than $2.5 million.[24]

    I remember Al Edwards for one play and one play only.  After the Giants had taken the lead back late in Super Bowl XXV, Edwards dropped a third-down pass which resulted in a punt and ultimately Norwood's miss.  If he had caught it, who knows?  Yes, it would have been nice to have Beebe for that game but you know who was sitting on the Bills' bench?  Steve Tasker.  I am 100% convinced that Tasker would have been Welker or Edelman before Welker and Edelman if we had used him in that role.  He sure as hell would have been better than Edwards.

    I think that was a Levy thing. Too conservative and set in his ways.  Remember he didn't play Henry Jones much at all in his 1st season because of his hold-out. 

  7. OK - - all 3 were replacements for 'star' Bills in play-off games and hurt the team effort allowing the opponents to win!

     

    -Al Edwards replaced Don Beebe (broken leg) in our 1st Super Bowl visit and was a non-factor with only 26 CAREER receptions !

    -Dwight Drane replaced Leonard Smith (illness which led to his retirement) in our 2nd Super Bowl and couldn't cover anyone let alone tackle Redskins!

    -Karl Wilson joined the Bills in 1995 and had played on 7 other NFL teams previously.  He had to replace Bruce Smith (illness) in our 1995 play-off loss to the Steelers and did zip!!

    After this Houston loss, and giving the benefit of the doubt following losses to Baltimore and NE (PLUS 2- pitiful drives against the Jets), it's so hard for me NOT to attribute a large portion of his perceived improvements to the easy schedule.  I think the offense as a whole was exposed during the final stretch of the year.  It all comes down to when Allen is able to 'mask' at least the deficiencies of the offense with his play... which he is currently not able to do so.

    I'm not a 'troll' and agree with your assessment.  Next years schedule will make or break Josh!

    Someone needs to sit down and go over game situations and clock management with Josh. That’s not a joke and it needs to happen. He needs to know when you can’t huddle, when you can’t afford to check to a run, when you can’t take a sack, when you throw the ball away and when you can’t rush a fumble with silly runs.

    That's what my post was about.  I don't think a lame 'guru' can help.

    Josh Allen is beginning to remind me of Flutie if Flutie had a bazooka for an arm and grew 7 inches.  

     

    But that's how Josh plays.  Unconventional.  And that is ok.  

     

    Allen's personality is the anti Flutie.  But I think their style is similar.  And Josh can make more throws that Flutie couldn't. 

     

    Thought a lot about this comp yesterday.  

     

    I think ultimately Daboll is doing right by his development.  How can this be argued.  The toughest job they seem to have is balancing the gunslinger, and when to gunsling vs when to be smart.  

     

    That, and finding WRs over 5'10. 

     

    when to be smart.   I don't know if 'smart' can be taught?

    Allen works with Palmer in the offseason when, per NFL rules, regular coaches don’t have contact with players. Not sure what else he’s supposed to do.

    Is Palmer the ONLY person in the world he can work with?  Come on - -

    So the 2nd year QB who is tied with Russel Wilson for most 4th quarter comeback wins (despite playing or finishing 7 less games than Wilson over that span) and now a guy who "melts down"?  LMAO.  The same QB who was the third highest rated QB in the 4th quarter in the entire NFL this year?  The same guy who after the first NE game went on to have a 21-3 TD:Turnover ratio to finish the season?  The same guy who despite being royally screwed by the refs late in the playoff game had us in position to win the game still?  

     

    Geezus, where do you people come up with this stuff?

    I watch games and see reactions! 

  11. Is there any doubt in your mind that Josh needs more practical, game relevant PRACTICE??  There should be no melt-down events in any game if he’s totally prepared to play the position.  I’ve seen that type of play from Rob, J.P. and EJ.  It’s a red flag for even the rawest rookie.

    Where is Allen’s QB coach Ken Dorsey?  He supposedly helped Cam Newton with the Panthers. 

    Josh has been working for 2 years in CA with Jordan Palmer’s private Company “QB Summit”.  They stress footwork and include ‘yoga on the beach’!!  Jordan Palmer completed 11 passes in the NFL career and is really a spiritual guru rather than a coach/trainer.   Josh has said he’s going back for a 3rd year.

     

    Per Jordan’s web-site:

     

    The quarterback rooms I’ve been in have been filled with names such as Jason Campbell, Jay Cutler, Blaine Gabbert, Chad Henne, Carson Palmer, EJ Manuel, Josh Mccown, Jimmy Clausen and many others. I’ve lifted with linemen, ran with wideouts and studied with coaches. The experiences I’ve gained over my career have shaped me into the coach I am today.  The emotional side of the game is the common thread that is woven into every aspect of the QB position. We help QBs to self-generate confidence, handle success and adversity, and challenge themselves to use their platform for good.

     

    Personally, I think it’s all BS! 

  12. ** UPDATE**  Posters have furnished Revenue numbers for the Bills in 2019 - see below-!

     

    The 2019 version of the Bills drew (tickets sold) 570,713 fans to New Era Field.  That was an average of 68,839 per game.  The only game close to a sell-out was in week #4 vs. the Patriots with a crowd of 70,317.  Current capacity is 71,857.

     

    The Bills averaged over 8 games a 95.8% capacity rating which was 16th in the NFL.  Among the 16 below us were the Jets, Giants, Dallas and Green Bay.

     

    GO BILLS!

    Plain and simple. 

     

    It was a great season but the fact we could have easily won our first division title since god knows how long this year puts a dark cloud over everything. Dabolls play calling in the pats game at home and the Browns game where singletary got something like 7 touches cost us big time. Daboll is a very lucky man because had it not been for our top 3 defense he would probably be getting fired tomorrow morning. 

     

    This is the worst NE team of the Brady era and the best Bills team and we still couldn't beat them to the division title. 

    PLEASE STOP!  We have 2 decent NFL receivers, 1 decent NFL RB, a make-shift OL with 2nd tier free agents and inexperienced TE's.  Josh isn't a star (yet?) and doesn't lead the team down the field!   

  14. Don scored the 1st touchdown for the Bills in Super Bowl XXV.  That was his last carry in the NFL.  He was released the following year and his life went down hill after that.

    Former NFL player Don Smith, convicted of drug charges, held his head in his hands and wept in 1994 as a judge sentenced him to a mandatory 15 years in prison.

    Smith, a second-round draft pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1987, was arrested in April 1993 after trying to purchase a half kilo of cocaine from an undercover police officer for $9,500.

    The former All-Southeastern Conference quarterback for Mississippi State was found guilty Tuesday of conspiracy and trafficking in cocaine. A co-defendant, Raul Maldonado, was convicted of a lesser charge of possession of cocaine.

    Under current state law, Smith will have to serve the entire 15-year sentence because of the amount of cocaine involved.

    Smith, 30, played running back for the Bucs for three seasons before signing as a free agent with Buffalo in 1990. He scored a touchdown for the Bills in the team's Super Bowl loss to the New York Giants.

    Maybe this football thing ain’t for you then

    It IS for me!  50 years of following the Bills, playing the game and coaching teams at the Div. 111 level give me a pretty good feel for players.

    QB's that never got to even Allens current level have won SB's so...

    I don't think that will happen in today's level of skilled QB's.

  16. Josh is a nice NFL QB. A good face of the franchise. BUT,  he's not a difference maker regardless of his running ability and rocket arm.

     

    Mahomes, Brees, Jackson, Brady & Rodgers are!  It’s the way they make plays out of nothing and control a game.

     

    I know he’s young and learning about the NFL but so are Jackson & Mahomes.  I just don’t see it in Josh’s makeup.  I don't see the quickness in his vision during a game.  Also, if you have ever thrown a ball (baseball, football etc.) accuracy can't be taught.  It's an innate skill.  

     

    We’ll win games but not the big, dominate player defined games.  I wish it wasn’t so!
