I'd like to think so Mark, but I'm skeptical at best. Lambeau Field is about 3 miles from downtown Green Bay. Virtually all of the draft cities since the NFL abandoned Radio City Music Hall in 2014 have been in downtown/city centers. I think the only exception was when Arlington hosted it. Arlington is about 20 miles from downtown Dallas. I have a hard time imagining a quality draft being held in Orchard Park. It's a sparsely populated suburb. I hope I'm wrong. I hear this talk about stadium-centered development in Orchard Park but honestly, how much development is gonna be spurred by 10-12 dates per year? Again I'm skeptical and hope I'm wrong. I'm pretty sure the number of hotel rooms in Rochester is irrelevant. If I was going to attend a draft I'd want to go to a city which has lots of different entertainment and recreational options. I believe the distance from Buffalo to Orchard Park is problematic. I think the draft would actually be a lot better in Buffalo than in Orchard Park, whether it was held in the baseball stadium, the Sabres arena, or even Shea's. Again, I hope I'm wrong. Maybe they'll throw Orchard Park a bone simply because of the new stadium being built but I can't see WNY being host to a second draft.

Git’ er done!!!

Don’t forget, Amari had that wrist injury so the Bills would want to check that out before making any decisions on remedial surgery.

Someone pass me the bottle… of red grenadine… if there’s nothing stronger.

I thought he was serving time for stalking and displaying himself to gmilfs. He should fit right in with the Chefs.

I always questioned the practice of "clearing the way" for the undisputed starter. 1) It contradicts the "steel sharpens steel" principle. 2) It brings into question the mental toughness of the presumed starter. That said, we've seen it done many times.

From ProFootballTalk: "... the message is unmistakable. Vrabel didn’t want Milton to be around when the process begins of crafting a team that will be clearly and unambiguously led by Drake Maye. There’s been plenty of chatter about the concern that Milton’s mere presence undermines Maye. Milton has skills. Milton played well, both in the preseason and in a Week 18 win over the Bills that cost New England the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. The Patriots apparently don’t want on the roster a quarterback around whom some players and plenty of fans might rally if/when Maye experiences obstacles in the effort to achieve his ceiling. They want Maye to be the guy. If there’s another guy for whom a plausible argument can be made that he’s the guy, it becomes harder for Maye to be and stay the guy. The move leaves the Patriots with only two quarterbacks on the roster: Maye and Joshua Dobbs. They’ll inevitably be adding someone to replace Milton. Someone who won’t dilute the Drake Maye vibe in New England." https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-patriots-wanted-to-trade-joe-milton-iii-before-start-of-offseason-program

That would give new meaning to the term, "livestream." The last piece of hardware would be the "Spikes Spike."

I find this an odd comparison boyst. Milton has more talent in his pinkie than Tyrod does in his arm. It doesn't seem like a bad trade for whom? FWIW, Lance signed with the Chargers yesterday. I agree with the handful of posters in this topic who say that NE didn't want Milton around in the event Maye stumbles. He doesn't have to beat out Dak... Prescott has missed 24 games in the last 5 seasons. He's not exactly an ironman. Milton had a much better career than Anthony Richardson and Richardson was drafted 4th overall. Milton was the MVP of the Orange Bowl if I recall correctly. Milton just turned 25 and I would not write him off at this point. I'm curious what prompted you to bring up Brian Thomas Jr. in this topic?

Will the game be played in Missouri or Kansas?

I know what you're saying. That was yesterday... did I miss something? What's the significance of the date?

"Evidently, jmo?" 😃 It would be interesting to see how Josh would do throwing to Chase and Higgins. Another reason Josh is at a different level is durability. In 7 seasons, Josh has played in 111 of 117 regular season games... nearly 95% of all games. The only games he missed were in his rookie season. In 5 seasons Burrow has played in 69 of 82 regular season games... only 84% of all games.

Regarding Restrepo running an historically embarrassing 40 time at his Pro Day: The event was held at Carol Soffer Indoor Practice Facility, where the Canes often practice. In the weeks leading up to the pro day did he practice his 40s there? If not, why not? If so what were his times? If his times were even in the 4.7s and/or 4.8s, why was he even allowed to run? The decision to run cost him millions of dollars. Who on his team was supposed to looking out for this young man?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Stevens_(safety) Drafted by the Bills in the 3rd round 8 year NFL career played for 5 teams 42 games started won a Super Bowl with New England in 2001 last played for Houston in 2003 paralyzed from the waist down in a motorcycle accident in 2007 by 2011 had regained the ability to move through the use of special leg brace support From archives: "Former Houston Texans safety Matt Stevens remains bound to a wheelchair after a motorcycle accident three years ago where he broke his spinal cord. He is paralyzed from below his torso, and doctors have told Stevens he'll never walk again. "I can move my arms, my chest, my upper back and my head and that's it," Stevens told the Texans' official Web site. "So there's no chance of me walking, feeling, moving again, unless science comes up with some major new breakthrough. .. "I have a girl who loves me and I have two kids. The reason I subconsciously made it through the accident when I was in a coma is due to my kids." Stevens said he maintains a positive attitude despite the challenges he faces. "It's very hard for me to get around," he said. "I can drive with hand controls. I have basically, on average, two doctors appointments per week, and they assess my progress. Whatever I can do, I'm trying to do at the gym just to try to keep my strength up." Per the report, Stevens remains in touch with several NFL players, including Mike Vrabel, Larry Izzo and Brian Dawkins. "I talked to Seth (Payne) not too long ago," Stevens said. "Actually, Jamie Sharper visited me in the hospital when I was there. Troy Evans, Aaron Glenn, Jason Bell, Marcus Coleman - I've talked to all of them. They all try to give me the positive attitude to keep your lip up when it's kind of hard to keep your lip up when you can't do anything. It's just a day-by-day fight. It's what it is."

My parents forbid me from wrestling, due to not being that big of a person plus the likelihood of having to cut weight. I did dabble in boxing after high school (Singer's Gym) and it was eye opening. Three minutes is an eternity in a boxing ring. Rachel Bush? I think ole Hunter was talking about things other than athletics.

"The oldest athlete to participate on a Division I (D1) sports team is believed to be Joe Thomas Sr., who played running back for South Carolina State in 2016 at the age of 55." https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=who+was+the+oldest+athlete+to+participate+on+a+D1+sports+team&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

Yes... easy queasy.

I poked around a bit. It's an adjective so yes, it's a word. That said I can't find a direct dictionary entry for it... it's derivative of the noun perineum. I stand corrected.

I think the Steveson failure raises the question whether someone who is 5'11" and 266 pounds can actually play defensive tackle in the NFL.

The word is perineum.

I don't understand the surprise about Steveson's return to college athletics. 1) He competed in a different sport as a professional 2) Olympic athletes (who are assuredly professional) can return to compete in college sports 3) Many college athletes (via NIL) are now professional athletes. On a different subject, Steveson played for the Bills at 5'11" and 266 lbs. He was often listed at 6'1" as a wrestler but the tape measure shows otherwise. Not that it's the end all by any means but Hendrickson looked taller, longer, and heavier. And it probably didn't help that Steveson had taken time off from wrestling either.

Autocorrect doesn't makeup non-existent words.
