no vaccine is 100% effective. And if he (or anyone) has legitimate reasons for getting a vaccine being “not the right choice for them” I’d love to hear them. Because many of the reasons people cite for not getting it are based in pure, malevolent fantasy.

all false analogies. Comparing longstanding, habitual unhealthy behaviors to an acute, worldwide, communicable health crisis? Yeah you do not know what you’re doing.

he won’t be cut, not for just this little twitter tirade. But if he goes into the season and is regularly breaking protocol (as he says he will) and is thus continuing to incur fines and the wrong kind of attention, then yes he’s out the door. Sure there are other teammates who share his view, but they’ve made no indication that they are going to rock the boat like this.

County hasn’t changed their position yet though. We’ll see how it shakes out the state gov may attempt to overrule Erie Co but that’ll be hard to do since other venues have already instituted vax requirements and Cuomo let them go.

yeah you’ve completely lost the script.

Not to mention Josh Allen, who was the 1st to say it’s “in house,” and McDermott (who was pretty open discussing vax issues with the press before the players got into minicamps.) And we all know about how Beane got absolutely roasted (by the same union beasley is calling a joke) after he made his comments about cutting an unvaccinated player.

Pretty much any other course of action would’ve been better than hopping on twitter and calling the NFLPA a joke. I get it; he’s PO’ed - the protocols for unvaccinated players are extremely strict. But twitter ranting ain’t gonna help.

Pfff hahahaha. The protocols he’s complaining about are DIRECTLY related to the vaccination status of the players. His follow up tweets were also directly talking about vaccinations. Now if this is an elaborate troll, you got me. If not, well everyone reading your scribblings knows who the “dumb” one is chief.

as someone who is clearly anti-vaccine currently, Cole absolutely should be concerned about his and his family’s health. Crying on twitter about league protocols does nothing to help protect his health. Getting vaccinated would.

He’s getting dragged for airing these complaints and dumping on his union publicly because team leaders have repeatedly said they won’t address anything vaccine-related publicly, preemptively shutting down media members from asking questions about the subject at all. With that context, you can see why what Beasley is doing (for, like, the 3rd time now) stinks of hypocrisy, yes?

7 and 1? Can’t tell if you’re talking AFC championships or Super Bowls but those numbers aren’t right in either case. Bell may well still have some talent left but if you think he’s gonna pop up here or elsewhere and get back to his dominant Steeler years that’s not happening.

And wait until a reporter asks Beasley about his latest twitter meltdown and the usual suspects here will trash the reporter for doing his job. Like clockwork.

I agree. The union has leadership elected by the players to negotiate and enact stuff like this with the league. He shouldn’t be complaining publicly about the lack of a full referendum on this, but he is of course.

Cole’s current issue is more with the players’ union than anything else - seems he wanted a vote before the league and union agreed to the separate protocols. (Yes I know he has other issues re the vaccine.)

i would definitely like to see something more wacky like this. Just one game a season or whatever, don’t overkill it but Nike tried to do something “out there” with color rush and just screwed it up so bad for so many teams. The zubaz idea is really cool though.

Thanks. I really hope the helmet restriction is lifted. Heard they were debating it a while back but haven’t heard any news on a decision.

i don’t think Star is exceptional in any way. If there was a feasible way to upgrade the position I’m all in. I just don’t get the “he’s a bum” “he quit on his team” “he’ll come in fat he doesn’t want to work” etc… You can make the argument he’s overpaid, sure; I’d buy that. There’s a few other guys on this defense guilty of the same thing based on production though.

As expected. I’d like to hear about tailgating rules from the county next but that probably isn’t coming anytime soon.

and Phillips plays at or around 307lbs, same as Star. Height difference is negligible.

so after all the hand wringing around here, he comes back just a shade under playing weight.

I *think* Carolina traveled to somewhere in South Carolina? I thought I remembered them going down there since they rep both states. EDIT: Yes the Panthers go to Wofford College in Spartanburg SC. 90 min from Charlotte. They are going back this year.

The training facilities at the stadium are so much better now after the recent renovations. Harder to justify leaving for camp now.

Oh they are definitely copping out. If no one says anything then no one can be singled out and asked hard questions. Obviously they’ve discussed this collectively and decided this is the way they’re gonna go with it. Personally I don’t like it but i’m not all bent about it either.

Again with the “no one cares.” Bro, you don’t speak for everyone. YOU may not care, and that’s fine. Personally, I do care about the answer to JW’s question, for purely football reasons, since the league announced these different standards based on a team’s level of vaccination. I’d like the Bills to be able to take advantage of the relaxed rules for teams that meet the vaccination threshold. Other people may also care about that question and answer in broader terms as well, because some people want to get past COVID and see as many people as possible vaccinated asap. That would include public figures like the local football team. Generalizations are the quickest way to prove to others that you’re a moron.
