When Trent Edwards flexed his biceps in front of him and gave him a towel to wipe off the bench for him to sit..

It does not matter what we think. Many owners and Goodell will do whatever certain political persons tell them to do, to make life more lavish or peaceful for them. Our opinions only matter if we do not buy their NFL stuff or show up. Otherwise our views will fall on deaf ears. We are likely nobodies in their eyes, despite their talk of care. Goodell only caved in a little with his statement because he feared backlash for doing nothing. He could have taken steps further, but the rich owners would not have allowed that. Politics will always be in football, in the public's eye and behind the scenes, as that is where the money and power is.

Here is the problem I have from "some" who are against Fromm. It's called hypocrisy. They are disgusted with him for what he said, based on that smaller sample size and not knowing more what he meant by such and who he is, and are quick to want him off the team thinking he is a despicable person, yet at the same time support a clear racist, one who has a very large sample size of racist statements and actions, and which the majority of persons could clearly see as a racist, and as being some unethical, selfish and immoral human being. These people cannot have it both ways. Or is it that certain racists you will condone, if you are getting something yourself indirectly or directly from that racist person? That's called not only hypocrisy, but selfishness and perhaps not standing up for the truth and what you really believe in, for personal gain.
Although my belief is that the perpetrator of any racist views and actions may or may not sincere in their apologies, at least they publicly stated it was wrong, which could help create positive learning for others, and changes there. Those who never admit such wrongs, nor apologize for such, and who keep promoting such, are the worst persons ever, in my mind, as this is what causes racism to be accepted and spread, emotions to boil, and more division to occur. I feel both Brees and Fromm were clearly wrong, yes, and I do not mind them getting some backlash..But, is that enough to have them be defined forever by that? No, as everyone has said very stupid things. But, for those others who feel their bad behaviors and remarks, or their ignorant or racist statements and actions should continue as the others are the problem, and not them, this is where my concerns and any anger is mainly at, as I feel there is at least some hope for the others who seemed insensitive, biased, prejudicial or without empathy. Perhaps it could make them better persons.
And that is why I am strongly for these protests, and for those with less power or that feel they have less power to use their powers of the truth and in uniting together to combat those tone deaf and racist forces and persons in power, that do not belong there, as they continue their wrongs without conscience. Without such masses uniting, and pain seen and heard more clearly by the masses through the media, the status quo will continue to occur and people will be continued to be mistreated and any power you have will be taken from you even more. Power corrupts, when it is gotten into the wrong hands. Everyone needs to take accountability for their actions. But, we can hopefully also vote out those who have more self-serving interests and hateful views than wanting to benefit the nation as a whole, even if it means we personally could have financially faired better by siding with any certain others. My conscience tells me I have seen and heard enough of certain others in power. It's time the people and victims speak.

Jokes are not allowed in this day and age. It's illegal, immoral and unethical. No, lol's, no rotfl,s, no lamo's, and certainly no haha's which are the worst of all. Fromm, you are guilty as charged. Only serious people who are choir boys are entitled to be in the nfl. Maybe you will learn to keep your hahas to yourself next time.

What if he was poking fun at "some" of the old elite white men in Congress or elsewhere who "could be" gung ho and feel only they are entitled to guns/silencers? If this was the case, why is him critiquing that old rich boys network mentality using humor bad? I mean, was he being honest or sarcastic? Nobody seems to be focusing on that central issue. If he was being sarcastic, its called humor, perhaps to try to show how bad such racists in power can be. No story there then. However, if he truly feels that only rich white persons should have those items/rights, yeah, it is hard for me to even accept any apology, as you cannot change that line of thinking easily.. You can put a bandage on it, or make amends, but that may not solve everything if biases are ingrained into ones psyche.

I'm quite serious. He believes it's disrespectful and doesn't agree with it. You FEEL that his belief makes him think he's above them. People disagree with other people that they respect pretty often.
Yes people "CAN" disagree and respect someone at the same time, but Brees did not do this. He said and suggested the others were showing disrespect because of their views and actions regarding the flag. That is disrespecting them by putting feelings into their mouths. Had he wanted to show respect, he could have just stated his position and what the flag meant to him, but said those who disagreed were not necessarily disrespecting the flag as they are entitled to their own views.

What part of his response did he state that those that kneel are beneath him?
You must be joking? Throughout his intire quote he stated AND Suggested the others were being "disrespectful." That certainly implies he thinks he is on moral high ground for his feelings, views and actions. That thus implies those others are beneath him. That is why he apologized.
-
The fact is, although he has a right to his personal views about the flag, and what it means to him, his earlier comments stated and/or suggested those others who kneeled or did not think or act like him were wrong. That is where he messed up big time. The flag does not stand for any one thing, regardless what anyone says, as we all have a right to be respected for our personal rights to see that as a representation for whatever we choose, based on our past experiences, sensitivities, national historical events--good or bad-- and what that symbol means to us thus personally.
Brees has that same right. He was not breaking the law and has a right to free speech, too, but if he was implying or telling others how they should think or feel, suggesting or stating they are worse humans, otherwise, for not thinking or acting like him, that is where that bs needs to end, and why I am glad he got backlash back. Had he just stated his personal views about what the flag meant to him, I would have respected him for that, regardless if I agreed or not, but when he sat on his high horse and suggested those others who did not think or feel like him were beneath him, that is where he looked like a fool, showing some bias or agenda, instead of compassion for everyone's rights.

Did he cut that beard yet? That's all I care about, as Fitz will be Fitz. Sometimes gives the defense fits, sometimes he plays like a ditz. That's why he's Fitz.

No, to answer your question. From my extensive research only Coach McD and our team found a way. The other teams' players are waiting for the green light from Roger Goodfeller and their Govs to unlock their house doors, venture out, take off their masks and astronaut suits off.

Wondering if they will allow fake pumped in crowd noise by the home team, to use or not use as they see fit.

Some members here will be yelling at Beane towards the end of the first round asking him to trade up for a player they want that is still available.

The bills won't draft at 54..They are moving on up, and will take Jonathan Taylor at beginning of round 2..

This is sort of where I’m at. Sort of. It’s going to be tough watching Aiyuk or Hamler or Dobbins tear up the league in 2020 while our first pick (Dugger) spends the season as a special teams gunner. Not that I don’t like the player - I do - but does he help us win in 2020? I’m just not sure. A pick like that would be within their comfort zone, I get that, but I wish they’d step outside of that zone and focus on speed on offense.
And egads, if they pass on Johnathan Taylor to take a defensive back I will lose it. I don’t think he’ll last to 54 but if somehow he did and they pass... that dude is special.
I think Beane loves Jonathan Taylor, so he will will be using smoke and mirrors to say how they're set at RB, and talk of other positions of need, etc..With JT and DS teams will be obsessing about our running game. BB is smart enough not to pass up on JT. He may even think of jumping up to take him, if need be. So, BB, I know you are listening. Ger er done.

I was too busy crying when he woke up from the stroke. I have no toilet paper here though, and I cannot use my hands as I'll get sick.

I here Miami wants him, but it is too costly for them. Skins wanted Rosen and a 6th rounder in return.
