  1. Yeah I just don't really understand it. Clever nickname for Edelman, though.
  2. Unless there's some massive breakout traced back to those games, I dunno why they would. We should be hoping everything goes well, it will show the tangible progress that's been made since last year.
  3. Nope, I remember Brady's first season. I'm also a Blue Jays fan and had to deal with Yankees/Red Sox even longer. I have a dislike of the Red Sox, but I didn't turn my nose up when we grabbed Kevin Millar until it was obvious he was terrible at the sport. It's one thing to have a healthy rivalry with a team and it's quite another to get to the point where you wish injury on them for the crime of being really good for 20 years. I find the vitriol for Brady especially sad. He's one of the greatest athletes of our lifetimes, across all sports.
  4. I understand hating a team because their fans are insufferable, maybe a few players, but the hatred Bills fans feel for certain Patriots and ex-Patriots is truly strange.
  5. This seems to be a too common occurrence with CTE. We can crap on the guy for doing something horrible all we want (and it's warranted) but there is a much deeper problem here that we should probably consider. Chris Benoit, Aaron Hernandez, Junior Seau, Tyler Hilinski, etc. It's clearly an issue. Why would anyone discount this?
  6. More tongue in cheek. He's been such a Bills fanboy for a few months now I was expecting a totally rosy view of Josh but I don't disagree that he was fair. I was surprised at Schrager's response, though.
  7. I'm surprised none of them brought up the fact that Mahomes looked even worse than Josh did in the Superbowl. Kay's argument sucked. Is Dan Marino not a great QB because he never won a Superbowl? Jim Kelly? Rodgers has one, but if they didn't win that game, would he not be proven? On the other side, what about guys like Eli Manning and Joe Flacco? The SB = QB success is so tired and really a lazy argument. I feel like Schrager and KB did some kind of Freaky Friday thing. Disappointing, Kyle!
  8. As of yet, they are NOT factual allegations. These also weren't independent. We see it all the time where it starts with one and snowballs. Buzbee was actively looking for more women. Some experienced different things than others, and a small percentage likely experienced nothing at all. If Watson did what is alleged, he should be punished accordingly. That needs to be proven. For me, personally, the higher the number gets, the more suspicious I get. One or two I could see Watson thinking he could get away with, but 20-30? Risking his entire career for something that will surely come out publicly seems...weird. But, maybe he did have a sex addiction. Maybe he did think because he was who he was that everything he did could be considered consensual. But, at the end of the day, no one really knows what happened, and I am clearly not a big fan of jumping to the assumption of guilt before his side of the story is even heard.
  9. Bit misleading. I'd put all my chips on spread happening in the concourse, rest rooms, in line for food. How much spread there was, not sure. How many people died because of it, not sure. It's a scare tactic to keep people in line. For some reason, they really find the journey towards normalcy appalling.
  10. Ignoring the science, those people chose to go to those games and accepted the risks. Not sure what the big deal is. Of course there will be more cases if you're in a football stadium, not locked inside. What are the effects 2 years from now?
  11. Maybe Watson should find 100 people to say he's innocent. That's more than the women, so I'd have to conclude he did nothing wrong.
  12. No one said you can't judge Watson, have at it. No one is forcing you to like how the law works. Pretty dumb comparison, though. It would be apt if there was a single instance of video evidence, just like Rice.
  13. I don't think it's telling at all. First, his teammates probably have no idea what actually happened, and second, sticking your neck out for him could cost them something too, as the Twitter mob would set their sights on that player.
  14. Lately it seems like every franchise QB wants a say in personnel decisions and Josh explicitly states that he completely trusts the FO and has no place in it. I love this man.
  15. From the start, he immediately brought up beating Alex Smith. Just a pure competitor.
  16. Josh's take on vaccines is so refreshing. I knew he was intelligent but I guess I underestimated how much. Omg a pot shot at Russ Wilson. I would go gay for this man
  17. Oh ok, so the more people, the less you need to hear out Watson. Sounds like you're a big fan of the Western judicial system. Buzbee should just recruit a hundred women, then there would just be no need for due process at all.
  18. The site trying to recoup hosting fees/make money off its own success? Nooooooooooooooooooooooo! What if I accidentally click on an ad? What then?!
  19. Texas Rangers just had 38000 for their home opener. People are whining about it, as expected, but if they are doing that now, I have to imagine full capacity for everyone is perfectly achievable by the start of the season.
  20. Not just NFL. Domingo German and Roberto Osuna committed some pretty serious domestic assault. Osuna played again that same season (albeit after being traded) and German is playing now...he isn't even very good, so there isn't even an angle to ignore the crime because of talent. Probably the same in the NHL given the number of meathead goons, but I pay zero attention.
  21. Allegations need to be proven. Until that happens, everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt. I don't know why people still make judgments based on one side of the story. Why can't everyone just shut up and let the process play out? You know, the one between the two parties who have any idea what really happened?
  22. Yeah I got that now. Players switch positions so often that they often have to abandon their old number because it isn't allowed. I don't think it would bother me to see a LB with a single digit number but it might just be something to get used to. I'm normally for more player freedom, and I don't really see the harm.
  23. Gotta admit, I was surprised at the tape of how well Singletary reads gaps and his patience. I agree with Erik's assessment that the run game woes fall largely on the OL. And yeah, I kinda thought Moss and Singletary were interchangable but they each have different but valuable skills. I'd dress Breida, Motor and Moss pretty much every game. Breida could be a great weapon on the outside, clearly something Moss and Singletary do not excel at.
  24. The vast majority of players already adhere to this framework regardless. Oh no, an OL wants to wear 49! I mean, I understand numbers as positional identifiers but the number ranges they've proposed are so vast, it's essentially meaningless. E: I'm an idiot, I misread this entire thing. I didn't realize this is to lessen restrictions. I do not oppose this.
