  1. That was a very good team with a tough Front 7 and an outstanding OLine. They were a QB away from a championship, imo. As a fellow who has always been convinced that your defensive front is the 2nd most impactful position on your team (only superseded by QB), this is arguably my very favorite thing about Beane's philosophy. I will concede that rule changes have made DLs somewhat less impactful over the last few years, but not enough to significantly lessen their import in the greater scheme of the game.
  2. I'm holding out hope for an unhinged rant about how hard it is to be a white guy in America!
  3. It doesn't matter "why" they are interviewing them, only that they are interviewing them. You're operating under the mistaken assumption that the rule is intended to get teams to hire minority candidates; that is not what it's for. It was instituted to open up the Old Boy network so the same guys weren't interviewing their buddies over and over again. It's intended to give minorities the opportunity to meet and talk to people they would never have had a chance to talk to otherwise. It's not about hiring practices, it's about exposure.

  5. No pinball players here? A few of us took the ladies to this place a couple weekends ago and had a ball. 400+ fully functional pinball machines and 200 or so cabinet arcade games. $20 to walk in the door and then everything is Free so you can play anything you want as many times as you want. If you can find a place like this near you, it's a great time.
  6. Every single team worth its salt shows their leadership the courtesy of listening. It certainly doesn't mean they are going to do whatever the captain says, but it creates a sense of ownership that is valuable in every locker room.
  7. There's zero harm in showing the QB/leader of your team respect by being open to hearing his thoughts. Then if his wants match up with what you were planning on doing anyways, he's just that much more invested in manifesting success.
  8. Sometimes it's funny the first 10 times. It's rarely funny the 100th time. 🤙
  9. It's less about the post and more about the poster. He's become a repetitive troll that most of the community is sick of, engages in multiple pointless crusades that he's been repeatedly warned about and suspended for, and is now rapidly approaching the point where he's just going to be permanently removed with no further warnings because folks are tired of his schtick.
  10. There is an "ignore" feature you can activate so you don't see any of his pointless crusades. Just hover over his name (if using a PC) and it will pop up. I don't know how it works if you're using a phone.
  11. 'Preciate the effort of posting some video. Hard to read much from this imo, because (aside from the the guy with the clicker needing medicated) his QB is unsure of himself and late all the way through. I got the sense that if that ball was coming out on time, DB's have their hands full defensing an NFL legit catch radius. He might not be your first option on the dig, but he's a real problem on the post. Does he have the kind of long speed to back people off? If so, that is the kind of dude you do not like to see walk out across from you. You really need to defend a lot of grass with guys like that and an arm like Allen's exacerbates that by an order of magnitude.
  12. Anybody who comes even remotely close to tipping the Bills pick is gone for the weekend.
  13. Just a heads up that anybody who even comes remotely close to tipping the Bills pick, is instantly gone until Monday.
