Ahh yes, a sure sign of an awesome player and leader. Perhaps he should have spent more time running up and down the actual field and he may have contributed more than 30 yrds receiving.

I know a couple people that have used the green to combat heroin and oxy addictions and have done so successfully. That's a route I'll never condemn. For me, I sometimes go months without a beer or a cocktail but as soon as I knock a couple back I am instantly looking to burn one as a force multiplier. And the insane amount of booze you can consume while blowing rails is terrifying enough that it made me see the light and knock that shlt off.

This is an interesting point and could very well be true. I've always thought McDermott's rigidity and conservative nature were a bad fit for Allen and the Bills SB chase, but I also thought that they'd be able to gather enough talent to overcome the issue. I'm no longer sure I believe that.

Yeah, no booze but ganja is OK. Technically it's supposed to be using cannabis while avoiding all addictive substances (alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, etc) but I think there's also a lite version. Celibama? My names are Jim and Bob and it's been 120 days since I made out with any of my cousins!

I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that he's California sober.

Do you happen to know how that rate compares to traditional kickoffs?

There's a few fellas over in the other Veteran's Day thread if you want to check in there also.

It contained zero information, zero insight and was nothing more than a woe is us LAMP, half of which was just you repeating two words of lyrics that you stole from Leonard Cohen. If you're desperate for it to be revived, PM me which of the "Fire McDermott" or "Beane Sucks" or "We're Doomed" threads you would like it to be merged into and I will see if I can dig it out of the bin.

Agreed. At the top of their respective games, Chan Gailey was a much better football coach.

The consulting firm was virtually irrelevant. I could make a reasonably cogent argument that Mike Tomlin indirectly had more to do with McDermott's hire than anybody outside the Bills organization.

This is true This is not true. When I say that Whaley wanted McDermott and pounded the table for him, it is not idle speculation or reading tea leaves. I was given first hand information that was who Doug was fighting for, prior to the hire.

Doug wanted him and fought hard for him to be hired. It was the first and only time in his tenure as GM that Pegula gave him who he wanted as a HC.

I don't know if you quite have to go there, but I was definitely b'ing and moaning early in the Dolphins game about them not making even the slightest bit of effort whatsoever to run the offense at any kind of pace.

It's probably not just a coincidence that some of Hurts' best performances have come when the Eagles had two weeks of prep time before a game.
