Well I'm certainly glad the first Europeans that lot to Hawaii were the not of the Conquistador mindset of ' we are superior, bow to our wisdom, do as we say or pay the penalty... now it has me curious how the Hawaiian natives took to a violent sport of dog fighting. I'm not currentvon early Hawaiian cultures and how they usually dealt with strangers that they encountered. Were there separate tribes across the islands that got into infighting amongst themselves. Other natives in the new world had their share of violent cultures... Incas, Mayans and Aztecs many had some violent tendencies so that may have led them to turn those impulses to dog fighting. I'm just very surprised it is still a rampant issue in Hawaii and do not understand how it hasn't been dealt with by legal means to end the practice.

Or give up smoking as it is bad for your health.

Works for me!

If Kyle got hurt as ND Barkley 8s out they'd likely just have some fringe player hand off not even risking Josh at that point. That would be very bad coaching. I can understand having the starters get a bit more rust off but risking Josh when other 2 qbs we have a lot already hurt is totally irresponsible.

Injury settled players are FA with the added caveat they cannot sign with the team they got the injury settlement from for that season. They can get a new contract from that club the next season, I do not know if they can offer a futures contract until this season is over as the settlement team. If he plays this year it would have to be for another team. Edit: saw the post that said the injury settlement time frame is how long before Bills can re add him if both parties choose that. So he may decide he wants to keep playing for Bills once the time passes. It could be a stash of sorts. He is not required to accept any offer from any other team. He may just be rehabbing and waiting to be added back to roster once he's needed.

Just curious if you know, is there any history of native Hawaiians being hunted by the colonizers for sport? Just was thinking that as black slaves had often been hunted down by dogs there were alot of black people that didn't care for dogs as pets for that reason. Even though many black people now have fogs as loved family pets there still pretty recent history where black people are terrorized by dogs trained to do so. Just utube 60s civil rights clashes in the 60s to see video of GSD attacking blacks. I surely saw those as a child as I was born in 60, so I'm sure that made a impression on me enough to understand why I've met some black people that totally hated dogs. I can see how some people would even enjoy hurting them if they are otherwise terrified of them. I know I'm terrified of sharks so if someone goes out shark fishing just for pure sport I tend to not get outraged as much as I would if it were any cute or otherwise non threatening animals. If the first Europeans did hunt the natives that could certainly be a reason that dog fighting became popular there and then the damage desensitized any person to other life does its harm generating future psychopaths. Much like domestic abuse snowballs until the cycle is broken.

I think BillsNutHawaii is just suggesting that people think about it a bit on how Vick may have learned from his mistakes. I know a neighbor who is terrified of cats due to some incident as a child a cat attacked her and now at age 60+ she has zero tolerance for any cats and would happily see them as ll put down if she had anything to say about it. I don't suddenly believe she is some psycho animal abuser just her terror is deep seated and I can see her satisfaction over a dead cat the same as I would feel catching and killing a shark or any animal I am terrified of. I do not enjoy seafood so if I did go shark fishing it wouldn't be to secure any food from the shark so in essence I'd be no better than hunters that only care about the trophy to hang on their wall. I tend to view hunting as cruel when it isn't to provide sustenance but only the thrill of the kill, same as if I fish for the shark. I know that I'd be just as bad as Vick torturing a dog to its death for no reason if I just went out fishing for shark which I wouldn't be eating or killing in self defense. I wouldn't view people going out shark fishing in the same way as someone killing a dog but I also know that many black people were terrorized by dogs as young children just for being black. So I can understand how someone might do something that I would consider evil but they are not doing it with evil intent so much as doing something out if fear or even just ignorance.

Don't know how he first got into doing the stuff he was doing with the dogs, but it maybe he just fell in with wrong crowd and that could be far too many young people making similar or worse mistakes.

I am not excusing anything I detest what he was involved in and am happy he got caught and they ended his hobby. I also am aware that anyone that can hurt any innocent animal for no good reason is very likely a borderline psychopath as well. He did get caught and got sentenced to whatever the laws allowed. He served the time and I'd expect he didn't have a wonderful time in prison, but even I can't really speak to that as he may save had alot of fans among the guards and inmates and that could make his time served a joke much like somebof those country club detention centers they make white collar criminals serve their community service at. I just know that currently he is no longer engaged in such activity and he could have a legitimate change of heart I have no way to know as I do not have any contact with him. I am surprised as Jessica's husband and I assume JPeg herself are animal activists. I won't suddenly hope they cut Poyer or Hyde because they greeted Vick in the video. But if any dog starts growling at Vick for no apparent reason then I'll take that as a sign that Vick is a psychopath and I'd steer clear of him.

And one never knows if he would have had something occur to have him change on his own. He had plenty of time to reflect while he was in prison. Easily can change a person.

Just go edit ur post u have option to edit title to on posts u created

May have talked to his agent who informed any teams that his guy was signing a new deal with eagles.

Dawkins is no leader, you show up out of shape and not ready to go play and practice fo season then you aren't a leader.

We need all our Bills on defense when they are on the field with Aaron to give him a great big hug to console him. Just like a good neighbor would.

Well guess they plan on giving Kyle plenty of game reps which he needs to be honest.

I hope they just got him to stock up on players to trade with Buffalo to get the Bills Gisnts as the Carolina Buffalo connection has been.

Yes and on the second/third video like how he is aware he's getting tackled he is proactively sort of tumbling to the ground as the player behind him grabs him. Instead of fighting and exposing himself to a big hit by the player coming at him from the front. He kinda tucks into a roll so he able to absorb the hit easier.

No it's more like California dreaming.......

Yea I love Josh and I hope he still climbs up to his full potential but if I'm gonna pick best draft pick in Bills history I'm going with Bruce. He's arguably the best pass rusher in nfl history -- just above a couple of other NFL legends.

I'll go with Deez Nuts offense. With a variation of Cooking with Deez Nuts.

I googled Rusty Jones. Seems like he's working for Colts as the director sports performance. Bruce needs to advise Terry that he should hire Rusty away from the Colts.

Well if they have capable replacement plus a capable backup you consider trading him but ol is so hard to find capable and once he is in shape he can be capable. So I only trade him if they got 2 equal or better on roster

Since we technically traded up he didn't fall to us we went and grabbed him as smoothly as he catches those passes. Gotta love the Dallas disappointment.

Indeed curious if he had some shortness of breath or if he wears one of those bra that monitor heart rate and something triggered off that to make them aware. Either case I'm glad it's daboll as coach as he's a players coach in that regard.

I agree and I think Morse has planned that too. Gets a shot at a ring which I'd like to see him get this year then he can retire for his family.
