  1. Ya gotta realize how happy Sam Darnold is, now that his indentured servitude is over, this is his last chance to have a career as a starter, as unlikely as it is, if this fails, he is a backup QB permanently,  or he is gone from the league... good luck to ya Sam...

    Can someone explain the line in the sand between Nike and Jordan brands? I'm guessing Jordan is a spinoff of Nike. Is it the same thing?

    Yes, it’s a Nike shoe, with Jordan colors and a Jordan logo on it.  
    It’s like Lexis, it is a Toyota, designed and built by Toyota motor company, no matter what anyone says differently, because the boys at Lexis answer to Toyota. It’s the same deal with lots of consumer goods, the parent company is the big dog that the individual brands answer to.

    I would not expect an 18th game for quite a while.  They specifically bargained in this CBA for a 17th game to come about and forbid an 18th game.  
     

    What cracks me up is players that agreed to the CBA then complaining about the additional game - like it was some kind of surprise.

     

    I could see in 5 years the Players and the League looking at 18 games and trying to work out a deal for 1 more game, one less preseason game, an additional bye, a 50/50 revenue split, a larger roster/PS call up, and a Super Bowl locked into Presidents’ Day weekend to ensure the following Monday is off - allowing it to be an even bigger party.

     

    My real guess is we are looking at 10 years and a big part of the negotiations to get this approved.

    Could be so, but money and those additional items could make it happen... never can tell,

    This is my thought. He starts at RG immediately, and if Williams happens to get hurt, he could slide out to RT, and Feliciano would come in at RG.

    Ya just can’t have to many good O line guys, being that there aren’t a real lot of them out there. 
     

    Only BB & SM are the ones who really know if we really have him In play, and where they see him as a pick,

    Well the current CBA that runs through 2030 strictly forbids going to an 18 game schedule. Or, to put it another way, has already been agreed (not) to. So yes it is possible for it to happen in 5 years, but only if both the players and owners want it to.

    I see, the remedy to this quandary is more money 💰 and I do think that is very doable, you know, a few million here a few million there, so to speak, will likely get er done... 😁

     

    oh, and by the way, have you had the opportunity to use the line, “ you know nothing of Tuco”  asking for a friend... 😁👍 awesome character, awesome portrayal by, Eli Wallach. 

  6. I will openly admit to not reading all the posts in this thread...

     

    My take on this is that the addition of a 17th game is old news to the teams and players, being all the particulars would have to have been  worked out previous to an open announcement, and this change going forward, so, any and all adjustments to cap/salaries should there be any, have already been agreed to, what ever those possible changes might be. So, not really news at all, imo. 
     

    What may be worth chatting about is the inevitability of the 18th game being added, because we all know  that is gonna happen, and it will be the next excuse/reason to renegotiate the  TV/ broadcast contracts...💰 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰it will happen inside the next five years, bank on it. 

  7. The key to the offensive lines improvement will be continuity and staying healthy, Remember, we did not have our preferred O line group together and healthy during the entire past season iirc. That said, even so we went 13-3, won the AFCE title, won multiple playoff games, and again, without our preferred O line guys healthy and playing together... Take into consideration that the need for an improved run game has come from on high... so we can assume the run game issue is already being schemed to a higher level, gotta have trust in our GM, HC, and OC.

    Innocent question, how old are you? Alternative question, how long until you realized?

     

    And I mean no offense. Not being a smartass just asking. I love MJ and always have and have a cool vibe from when he played AA baseball in Birmingham. 

    It only to a moment to realize,  and I’m on the older side. 62, and yes I always enjoyed watching MJ play, he was a maestro on the court.

    With the Pegula's wealth and the Bills History, is this really necessary?  Highmark is not a Buffalo brand, and they have taken jobs out of Buffalo to their PA HQ's. Just Saying. Bills Stadium works for me.

     

    Since when has it been a prerequisite for a stadium name sponsor to be a local business? 
     

    That and 98% of corporations have no soul/ sense of the concept of the greater good, their god is money,  they are the Sith of our world.
