  1. If he's a columnist, not a journalist - that's fine - but what is he doing at a press conference with journalists? The point of a press conference is to ask questions and hear answers, then go off and write about it which can include stating personal opinions or beliefs as columnists do. If he's not going to behave as a journalist in that venue, GTFO and let journalists, who use that time to ask questions, have his slot.
  2. You seem to be confusing the Constitutional guarantee of freedom of speech, with freedom from consequences for what's spoken. There's a pretty nice explanation here: https://constitutionus.com/constitution/rights/what-amendment-includes-the-freedom-of-speech/ Specifically, "Freedom of speech does not mean that anybody can say whatever they want without consequence. (...........) private entities are not obligated to respect freedom of speech. For example, an employer can impose non-disparagement clauses to keep employees from speaking negatively about the company or its products, and non-disclosure agreements are common in modern contract law. Because none of the participating parties are part of or otherwise affiliated with government entities, they are not required to respect an individual’s freedom of speech." No one has ever had any kind of protection from personal consequences for what they say, only from government restriction or action against it.
  3. Yeah, I asked who that was in another thread, the response was "Jerry Sullivan" The GMFB crew discussed. The GMFB host with the most actual training as a journalist is apparently Jamie Erhdahl (degree in broadcasting and communications). She seems to feel that Sullivan doesn't "get" journalism (critical or other) in the sense that the journalist's job in an interview is to - wait for it - ask questions, not state his personal views or beliefs. IOW: "Do you feel this offense is currently performing on the level to win a Super Bowl?" (wait for response) - critical journalism "This offense is not performing on the level to win a Super Bowl" - not journalism, statement of opinion out-of-place in an interview
  4. Cool! Then can you explain the humor/joke in "The worst fans really are the women. They don’t get critical journalism. They’re all wannabe cheerleaders" Help me understand what's funny.
  5. I shoulda known I wouldn't beat the YOLO. The Bills made it clear after pre-season they had Bryant graded >> CJ Brewer. So not a surprise to me they brought him back. I am a little surprised that Beasley was willing to sign to our practice squad though. I agree, but it's a bit of a surprise they haven't IR'd him if that's the case. Yeah, when you can't hold on to a PS spot that doesn't bode well for your prospects.
  6. Oh, nah, that crew had definitely had a few, that's not what I meant. I clarified.
  7. I listened. I thought the controversy-stirring was partly unintentional and worse than the OP presents. Sorry.not.Sorry but it's 2022. It's time to be over both "men are better than women" and "women are better than men". While we're at it, can we be over "my dog's better than your dog" "my kid can beat up your honor student" and similar dreck and debris?
  8. I could see them hanging out at a bar buying one drink at a time.
  9. This is what it was a reply to
  10. The problem isn't his yards, the problem is his consistency.
  11. How can anyone who calls himself a Bills fan have that hope? While Beasley's a Bill I hope he kills it. I have doubts about how much he (and John Brown) can contribute due to Father Time, but if either or both are "the missing piece" I will by damn cheer him. And I'd rather have Beasley than Odell Beckham "I could play in the regular season, but I don't see the point" with his "Little People, Pay your Tax" attitude. The point of playing in the regular season is to EARN the right to play in the post-season, then EARN the right to home games etc.
  12. They could if Beasley were where he left off in November of 2020
  13. Comments against men, too. I’m not sure which part pukes me most, the part where women are the worst fans, or the part where “generally, women are better than men” Gross all around, can we finally be done with this unmitigated #######? In no way does it make up for dunking on women fans, to then turn around and dunk generally on men. Yuck
  14. I forget, what did we get for him?
  15. Yes, it makes a significant difference. All practice squad players are free agents who can sign with anyone. Yeah, that’s as vague as can be after going to the trouble of quoting that guy’s tweet.
  16. Negative. This has been discussed before. Beasley was on Tampa’s practice squad, meaning he was a free agent, AND Tampa released him from their PS.
  17. In that article, Ryan just re-hashes the tweets linked in this thread. He doesn’t cite any new or more definitive information. Really lazy “journalism” IMO
  18. I Hear Ya, but it’s pretty hard to sort the wheat from the chaff so to speak
  19. Welp, I just gave up on this game. Can’t see the Cardinals scoring 14 points in the last 4 minutes. No how, no way
  20. Wonder if they’re related to the guy who met Josh Allen’s cousin in Walmart out in Cali and learned he’d be out several weeks
  21. Yeah, I was just thinking they look weak
  22. I guess I’m a moron? I broke my ankle once, backpacking in the White Mountains. It was on an established trail. I viewed it as just one of those freak things, a fraternity brother sustained a similar break stepping off the entranceway to our dorm. Stuff happens, I just stepped off a rock instead of a step. It was just rather more complicated to get me to the hospital. We weren’t in trouble - we had food, and sleeping bags, and tarps and were all tucked in for the night when the rescue squad got to us. Our plan was to try to splint up my ankle in the morning, divvy up my pack, and try to help me hobble out (though it was a ***** steep trail for the next half mile, people whose experience is hiking out west have no idea what NE trails are like). But I was glad to be spared that.
  23. No D snaps. 1 ST snap. I guess Frazier isn't swayed by the input of the TBD experts who feel Jackson is part of a contest for which Bills player sucked worst
  24. Ya know their QB was rocking 59.6% completions, and not all of those were throw aways (Allen was 59.2%) They were
  25. I could always be wrong, but I think Brady and Belicheck got a divorce before Brady moved to Tampa
