    He’s definitely going to be the highest paid CB in the league, but whether he signs this contract with the Bills is questionable. The only way out of this situation is to start negotiating the year we are legally able to. If he ends his final season without an extension, he’s gone. And he’ll still be the highest paid CB in the league. And maybe in a state with no income tax. 

     

    Do state taxes really matter when you are making that much?  Lebron chose to go to LA, Durant chose to go to the Warriors and then the Nets and Kyrie Irving chose to go to the Nets even those those states have the highest state taxes.

     

    It's primary getting the biggest number as an ego trip.  You can`t get less than Kirk Cousins if you think you`re better.

    According to Google
    134 - 168 plays in an average NFL game (67 - 84 plays per Offense in an average NFL game)
    10 - 11 Corner kicks in an average EPL match

    Also, the EPL only needed to jam in 8 matches to finish a season.  The NFL is looking at starting a season and getting 18 games in pre playoffs (assuming 2 pre-season).

    Every NFL play definitely has more in your face contact than a soccer match.  

     

     

    Another big difference is that the EPL only had six players (out ot 748) tested positive on the restart and 10 in the Bundesliga.  The NBA on the other hand had about 5% tested positive,

     

  3. The Colts claim that it will be an open battle between their 4th round draft choice Jacob Eason and Chad Kelly for #3 QB but I assume nobody believes that.  Barring injuries Kelly has no chance to be on the Colts roster this year.

     

    Probably best start looking for alternative careers.

    Tammy started to push his vitamin supplement as with immunity booster days after COVID was declared a pandemic. 
     

    $45 for a bottle of vitamins. 
     

     

    Crazy.  You would think that he had enough money to not try to take advantage of people during a crisis. 

     

    As the old saying goes -- no-one has ever gone broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.

    Dont most players adopt the Patriot way once they get there?  It seems like they get talented but troubled players all the time and it almost always works out.  Antonio Brown being the exception.

     

    Plenty failed -- Albert Haynesworth, Josh Gordon just off the top of my head but I am sure there are plenty others.

    Not at all. Lawson has improved each year. Particularly the last couple of years.

     

    They likely just figured they could replace him cheaper.

     

     

    I agree.  There is no need to bash a guy just because he is not on the Bills anymore.

     

    Shaq was pretty good the last half of 2018 and better than that in 2019.

     

    Clearly the Bills wanted him back.  Beane said so at the post season press conference. The Bills made a competitive offer to Shaq (versus Jordan Phillips who they did not make an offer to).  They just didn't want him as much as the Dolphins. 

     

    Maybe they didn't match because they were thinking of Addison as an alternative during the Lawson negotiations but obviously we will never know.

    Yep. The Eagles did too. 

     

    I really thought after the Philadelphia-Washington-Cleveland stretch  where the Bill's run defense got gashed that the league had figured something out about the Bill's defense,

     

     I was very impressed that they were able to make adjustments and essentially shut down the opponent run game the rest of the year.

     

    I assume that at least some of the credit had to go to a more disciplined Edmunds (though probably most is due to Frazier and McDermott),

    Just to further clarify what was said by PFF, it was a highly qualified comment about Hodges and Allen.  It was something to the effect of Hodges having been graded higher than Allen in the couple games leading up to the Bills v Steelers game.  The guy made a point of how difficult it was to find any positive thing to say in regard to the Steelers offense and Hodges versus the Bills.  

     

    So your saying that the statement was taken out of context and blown all out of proportion.

     

    I`m shocked, shocked, that there is taking out of context going on here

  9. I am sure it was not a coincidence that she chose a meaningless game to do this rather than, say, the Ravens game.  I assume she didn't want to affect the coaches.

     

    No big deal although it would certainly be a issue if she does this all the time.

     

    I noticed that there was an another article saying that the most important thing she looks for in a coach is authenticity.   I assume that is a lesson learn from the Rex Ryan fiasco.

  10. I am not saying Mehta is not right -- just that the article is a rehash of general jets stuff that is not specific to Adams. 

     

    Mehta does seem to have something personal again Gase but  Gase has done enough publicly (such as throwing players under the bus in press conferences and posting player fines in the training facilities plus all the stuff that former Dolphins said) that I believe that many players hate playing for him.

    Manish Mehta reporting that Jamal doesn’t want to play for Gase is not a surprise. The next step for Adams is for his camp to leak out negative commentary about everyone within the Jets organization.

     

     

    Not that it is not true, but these are just random generalities from Mehta most of which is not even about Adams.  

     

    One can hardly trust what Mehta says about Gase.

    Masks are effective

    Unfortunately masks are only effective if most people use them.

     

    Masks don't really protect the wearer (maybe a little), it protects the people around the wearer.   Wearing a mask is a minor inconvenience.  To me wearing a mask in an indoor public place is a courtesy similar to turning your face when you sneeze.

     

    When and how opening occurs should be a political issue.   Masks should not have been a political issue.  It should just be common sense.

    This exactly, I will also add that the $300 million loss is temporary. Fracking is still the largest source of natural gas nationally at 67% and the primary function of his energy company. The losses will be related mostly to COVID and come this time next year profits will be back up where they have been or higher.

     Like most of the very wealthy, their money is probably tied up in huge purchases of gold and silver which very rarely make huge jumps or slides in value. This is why and how the wealthy STAY wealthy. 

     

    Fracking has not been profitable for many years.

    Both articles are from well before the COV-19 impact on oil prices.   

     

    The Pegulas were very smart (or lucky) to sell when they did.

     

    The Sabres payroll was the fifth highest in the NHL.  It makes sense that if things aren't working, you don't continue doing it.
