You made most of that up in your own mind. So congrats.
Also, I don't accept your apology. Be smarter and stop dragging the rest of us down.
No, I didn't, but good retort. I'm probably too smoothbrained to comprehend it.
And don't worry, you're in no danger of my associating with obedient bootlickers.

Again, he has options as has been explained to you several times by various people. He doesn't like his options and wants everything to change to suit him personally which is what people have a problem with.
Yes, I apologize for being much more stupid than you, but if you tell someone "you can say whatever you want, but if you say something we don't like, you will get disciplined" it gives the illusion of choice without actually giving you much choice. In this case it's "get vaccinated or not, your choice, but if you don't, you will be forced to face strict measures that you may consider unreasonable and will be constantly shamed by followers of Science (the religion) for being way dumber than they are."

Vaccines aren't mandatory. Follow me here, so if Bease isn't vaccinated, then other players may not be vaccinated...
The vaccine is also not full proof. Kind of like condoms... Don't want to use a condom, cool. There are potential consequences... Also try not to ***** over your teammates.
Follow me here, if the team and his teammates have a big problem with his stance, couldn't THEY deal with it?
Don't treat me like an idiot just because I value personal choice, including how the team responds to Beasley.
Also, if the vaccine is 95% effective or whatever, does that not greatly reduce its transmissibility, which is pretty much the only reason why it's caused this pandemic? Condoms may not be foolproof, but they have played a huge factor in the decline of unplanned pregnancies.

I'm sure there is boilerplate language in the contracts agreeing to abide by the CBA and any additional rules agreed to by the NFL/NFLPA.
There's a process, the NFL didn't just impose these protocols, the NFLPA (his reps) had a chance to discuss and negotiate.
The point was that people are acting like he made a choice to enter the NFLPA with this in mind. Up to like March of last year, restrictions like this would be inconceivable. I'm not contesting that he is bound by the CBA and NFLPA. It's a philosophical argument.

Just now, jeremy2020 said:
The current CBA didn't exist either... point?
Thought it was obvious, but the point is he didn't agree to this, nor did he have a say in its implementation.

Yeah, but no one in the NFL is forcing vaccination. Beasley wants to have no travel restrictions and no restrictions on having family with him on the road. Those protocols are to limit the chance of Bease from spread the disease to his teammates.
Don't get vaccinated, that's your right. Refuse to take precautions from potentially spreading the pandemic to your teammates, that's selfish.
How do you spread it to teammates that have been vaccinated?

Except you seem to be (purposely) misunderstanding the situation. No one is saying holding his feet to the fire for not getting vaccinated. They're holding his feet to the fire because he has chosen to be apart of the NFLPA which has set forth rules along with the NFL for people who don't get vaccinated and instead of saying,
"I have concerns about being vaccinated and the restrictions on me because I will not be vaccinated, I will hold firm to my beliefs. I'd like to thank my teammates, the Buffalo Bills and the fans for understanding my decision to retire."
He has decided that everything should be changed to accommodate him and his theories making a distraction that has the potential to sink the Bills legitimate Superbowl aspirations.
When he joined the NFLPA, these rules didn't exist.

Wow, already hit Godwin's Law in just 6 pages. Well done.
There's a legitimate debate about forced vaccinations in regards to public safety, but we aren't having it. What's the mortality rate threshold a disease has to hit? How infectious must it be? How effective is the vaccine? Instead, we shame people for not "following the science" and just doing as they are told.
Just so I'm not accused, I have gotten my first shot (Canada sucks) and am booked to get my second but I will not be treating people differently based on whether they are vaccinated or not and I think people who do are gross.
I sure hope this post isn't too political since this opinion is contrary to that of some moderators. This applies fully to Beasley's situation.

Lmao. You don't automatically get respect for speaking your mind. You don't get respect when what's on your mind is complete nonsense, and you are acting like a clown, like Cole is.
Sometimes it amazes me how foreign empathy is to some people. Not everyone thinks like you, and not everyone values the same things you do. I hate to say this, but that doesn't automatically make them a bad person. Someone actually took Cole's stance, not on general vaccines, but on just this particular one and compared it directly to people who picket the funerals of gay people. Like, what?

"We respect each player's decision on the vaccination is their own, and while we continue to educate our players and hope they decide to get the vaccine, we know we have a number of players who will not, and are totally fine with that as they are still on the team. However, we also made a decision as a team to not speak out about it or let it become a distraction, and Cole was unable to follow that. Nor would he agree to follow the protocols agreed to by the NFL and NFLPA. We provided him plenty of ways and opportunities to contact his union reps and work with the NFLPA, but he was unwilling to do so. So we made the decision to move on since we are trying to stay unified as a team, and move forward into a re-opened 2021."

Boom, cut.
But if he's willing to retire over it all, than problem solved.
Subservience is a virtue, I guess. By "we will educate the players" they really just mean "try to force them to get vaccinated"
Yes, let's get excited to cut our second best receiver because he wants to have a choice without being treated like a leper. Lunacy. I personally got the shot just so I can get my freedom papers, but just make the damn thing mandatory because it effectively is anyway. Your choice is get the shot and get your papers to participate in society, or don't and be cast out. It's not really a choice.

I am not sold on Baker Mayfield at QB and think he keeps them from being a true contender.
I feel the same way about the Ravens, except I feel Jackson is wildly overrated as a QB. They also have a good D but not scary at all on O with Jackson, teams have figured his style out.
Right, I completely agree, but the Browns have a much better team surrounding Mayfield. If Eli Manning can win 2 Super bowls because of his supporting cast, pretty sure the Browns can too.

IMO Ravens are way overrated. Browns are well the browns… So that leaves the Chiefs and Bills and the Chiefs are 1 and the Bills 2. The Dolphins COULD be 3 but I am not sold on Tua, Chargers should have a good O but not sold on their D, Raiders suck, Jets Suck.. Steelers have a damn good D, but a very shaky O.
Bengals are a couple years at least away, Broncos are a mess.
Titans and Colts could be 3 and 4 especially the Titans but their D still very shaky, Colts have to fix their QB. Jaguars in full rebuild And the Texans are a train wreck.
finally my team, Patriots will have a top D, and a rebuilt O weapons but at best am unproven rookie QB or worse a broken down Cam Newton.
so point is only Chiefs and Bills are true SB contenders in the AFC. The rest have obvious and possibly big flaws.
Did you really just dismiss the Browns Juju style? That's so silly. I think they are being overrated, but they are still the best team in the AFC North and definitely not a joke.

i mean look at the previous 3 seasons for wentz last season was bad yes you are right. So wentz having 1 bad season out of the past 4 makes him terrible now? its more than likely just a blip rather than his new standard of play.
i mean old no arm phillip rivers won 11 games with that INDY squad. i think they will be in the playoffs and anything can happen once you are there.
Why would you assume he'd revert back to 2017-2019 rather than continue from 2020? He might not be terrible, but I have no reason to believe that until he proves it. He wasn't injured, and he was awful whether he had a clean pocket or not. It's not "more than likely" a blip. It's more likely he just sucks.

I don’t think Tanny is a world beater but he’s good enough, has a very accurate deep ball, and does have mobility that needs respected. If the big 3 are healthy that’s a lot for a defense to account for - you can’t stack the box , they have two #1 WRs
Tannehill is up there with Derek Carr as one of the most underrated QBs in the league. The offense will be really good, but people are ignoring that they lost Corey Davis in the process. Is Julio Jones so much better than Davis that it vaults the Titans into Superbowl contention? I don't think so.
That's not even mentioning the fact that their defense is poop. I'm glad these guys left out the Titans. They are becoming annoying.

Like I said, unless he's some kind of actual wizard, a coach can only do so much. You don't throw like 50 interceptions by accident.

They should have stuck Indy in there somewhere too. I like their team and expect Wentz to enjoy Frank Reich's coaching and the Indy weapons and O line a LOT more than he did Philly's
.
I am having a hard time understanding why so many people are predicting that Wentz will be good. It all seems to be based on playing again for a coach he likes? He was literally the worst starter in football last season, and that's a pretty weak argument for why he'll be better.

Damn, the DL looks trim. No wonder they didn't draft a fat 1T.

Well, he's been a huge mystery for a long time, and whether he plays or not has a big impact on our cap space.

I have to wonder if it's a bit of a mistake for the overall team chemistry bringing "his guys" back in for Allen.
It's not going to take targets away from Diggs, Beasley, Sanders or Davis - but I'm a bit concerned that bottom of the roster players who have put in the "grind" here like McKenzie, Kumerow, Williams, Gilliam, Becker might feel that they don't have a "fair chance" based on talent because of the prior connection that Allen has with Hollister and Gentry.
Make no mistake, Gentry and Allen are tight. Allen was in Tanner's wedding. Allen hosted Gentry at his Orange County house before a big "Wyo friends" get together in the Palm Desert this spring; they refer to each other as "Fam".
Meanwhile, people who know more about scouting than I do ( @Buffalo716 ) tell me if we have Gentry and Kumerow as WR options we're in trouble.
It's something where the coaches need to be crystal clear on what the evaluation process is at the bottom of the roster and build trust that it's merit-based.
Man, Wyo's defense just sucked.
I think at least Hollister deserves his spot based on merit, regardless of his ties to Josh. I don't think Beane is going to let this team become the Lakers and promote LeJosh to GM2.

Mayor of Chicago from the top rope on the consideration of moving the Bears stadium to the suburbs

How is making fun of her emails political? I'd make fun of anyone who repeats something seventeen times in the same email. It's hilarious, and has nothing to do with her being mayor.
