  1. From PFT: "The Haskins estate alleged that Patino drove the dump truck that struck Haskins in a negligent manner, by operating it carelessly, exceeding the posted speed limit, failing to keep a proper lookout, failing to maintain the brakes on the truck, failing to maintain the tires on his truck, failing to make necessary repairs to his truck to keep it roadworthy, failing to regularly inspect the truck, overloading the truck, and failing to avoid hitting Haskins when he was visible and avoidable. The complaint joins Diaz and Sorrel Enterprises as the owners of the dump truck. The Florida Department of Transportation faces claims relating to the condition of the roadway where the collision happened, with specific allegations that the DOT exercised negligence in allowing the roadway to obstruct the vision of drivers, and that the employees and agents of the DOT placed a traffic signal board along the roadway that further obstructed the vision of drivers, failed to provide necessary street lighting, failed to post a reduced speed limit, and failed to inspect, maintain, and remedy the issue of reduced visibility in the vicinity of the incident. The “John Doe” defendant is the contractor of the DOT that allegedly failed to make the roadway sufficiently safe. Ace Rent A Car has been sued for providing Haskins with a rental car that was “unreasonably dangerous and hazardous because it was mechanically damaged and ran out of gas,” which caused Haskins to leave the truck and enter the dangerous highway traffic. The Wyndham Garden Hotel Boca Raton has been sued for allegedly “allowing patrons to use drugs and to drug other patrons, including [Haskins], even when Defendant’s own employees were in attendance and observing same.” The same claims are made Drive Shack Palm Beach, Blue Anchor Pub and E11ven Miami, regarding drug use and the drugging of other patrons. Joey Smith, Meriem Yassine, Wissal Yassine, and Karlee Peyton are accused of “drugging [Haskins] to blackmail and rob him.” The fact that the lawsuit names specific names as to drugging, blackmail, and robbery suggests that sufficient evidence exists to proceed against them specifically. If there was any real doubt about the identity of the persons who allegedly drugged and blackmailed/robbed Haskins, they presumably would have been joined as John Doe defendants — as the DOT contractor was. Attorney Rick Ellsley recently explained in a statement that the Haskins estate has “recently reached a combined settlement with the truck driver, the truck owner, and the truck broker,” and that "[s]ettlements with various other parties have been previously secured.” This means that the claims against Patino, Diaz, and Sorrel Enterprises have been resolved. Ellsley’s statement did not specifically identify the other defendants with whom a settlement has been reached. “The case continues to proceed in Broward County Circuit Court against multiple other defendants,” Ellsley said." https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/inside-the-dwayne-haskins-wrongful-death-civil-complaint
  2. Not until January. Does this mean Josh has broken up with Jerry Seinfeld's sister? Mmmmm... bias or reverse-bias aside, Ruben couldn't carry Peters' Gatorade bottle.
  3. Do you have any context for the 70? I have no idea what that means.
  4. HOLY ZHITNIK!!!!!
  5. I remember you saying that you were the one that yelled "Go Kevin" distracting Kolb to the degree that he didn't notice the rubber mat and slipped on it, thus injuring his knee. Thanks.
  6. So we should say the above not because we care about the person, but just to be superstitious? I'll call your Pine Bluff and raise you a Little Rock...
  7. Counter argument: The Bills first team offense gets no live work and comes up flat in an opening day loss to the NY Jets and their excellent defense. Bills start 0-1. TJ is gonna be coming... but the Bills know this. He will actually be game-planned for. I understand the apprehension of all those against Josh playing vs Steelers but a pro team, especially one of the stature of the Bills shouldn't be playing afraid. I could see where they might agree on things like scheme, blitzes, etc but neither man would promise to go easy from an intensity standpoint. No NFL Head Coach is wired that way and both of these guys are ridiculously competitive. Primanti Brothers down there anywhere?
  8. With the caveat that he stay healthy. Harty has played just 36 out of a possible 66 regular season games in his career. He's actually a longshot to stay healthy all season.
  9. I'm just going to go on the record to say that: I don't think Edmunds will be missed much. The Bills LB situation is not going to be a major factor in the outcome of this season. The biggest factor in the performance of the Bills D will be the switch in DCs which will have a large positive effect.
  10. Exactly Rocky. The moral of the story isn't that Kyle Allen played well... it's that you (@White Linen) were expecting him to look worse. Your spelling is off.
  11. Yep. The bounce to the outside looked like nothing but he covers more ground than most RBs when he does it. Teams that lose outside contain on him are toast.
  12. I had no clue either though like many here I don't usually go looking for photos of scantily clad NFL players. You ain't the only one...
  13. Actually you were an apologist for Kyle Allen pointing out his relative inexperience in this system. I accurately qualified your statement by pointing out that he's entering his 6th season. Both are equally true.
  14. Would they make the dots smaller or just cut it into a half round? If they made them smaller would it be based on diameter, circumference, surface area? I'll take your opinions much more seriously as soon as you change out of that ridiculous green outfit.
  15. To the bolded, had he thrown the ball at Murray's feet he would have saved another 2 yards. From the standards of Rob Johnson that was a good play.
  16. You're on your own. I got as far as two Cooks and Yorkshire pudding and then I thought my head was going to explode. This is a bad exercise on a Sunday morning. To the subject, I'd be excited to try to sign Dalvin Cook if we didn't already have his brother on the roster.
  17. Is your screen name a reference to Kevin Kolb? 😅 Slippery Rubber Mats Community Member 1.1k Location:Outside on a field where you least expect them To the bolded on Kyle Allen, for complete context he's entering his 6th season in the NFL after having started 2 years in college. His play yesterday is disappointing but as was pointed out upthread, Keenum didn't look like a world beater in his preseason debut for the Bills so there's that. I noticed that. I also wasn't very pleased with the ensembles worn by the athletic training staff and the strength coaches. Absolutely agree on the disconnect between what the Bills look for in a LB as opposed to what traditional football fans look for in a LB. On that subject has anyone heard anything about how Jack Campbell is looking in Lions' camp? Their you go again... Josh Reed also comes to mind. To the bolded, I can't remember a time watching the NFL that O-line depth wasn't thin across the league. There's maybe only 1-2 teams that actually have 5 solid starters much less backups.
  18. You'll have to watch it on Youtube but at least here's the link. I didn't want it to get buried in a thread where people probably wouldn't be looking for it.
  19. The Bills stated that they wanted to get bigger at WR. They also stated that they wanted to get faster. The thing that possibly works in favor of Isabella making the final 53 (in addition to another small, speed guy in Harty) is that Kincaid counts as a big receiver. When you add Kincaid to Davis and Sherfield, the Bills probably have enough big targets on game day. This may be a factor in Isabella making the final 53 ahead of size guys like Shorter, Shaver, Johnson, Atemon, and Patmon. Also, we're talking about a former 2nd rounder against a bunch of guys with not as much pedigree. A lot of teams loved Isabella coming out. It's not like he's JAG. Finally, Harty has a history of injuries. It might be wise to have 2 small, really fast guys who are interchangeable.
  20. Barkley played almost all of the 2nd Half with some players that might not be in the league in 3 weeks. So did Ferdinand. Kyle was also on pace for 2 interceptions. The story is played? Today was the first live football he's played since his death. I'm not sure what rules you're going by but I think you're being a little premature. Damar playing today was a big story for a lot of people. This subject can't be talked about separately from the rule changes regarding the single (and late) roster cutdown date.
  21. Hall of Fair maybe? Incidentally that composition is titled "Entrance of the Gladiators." I know... hard to believe. He's a brave young man. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marv_Bateman
