  1. You should start a new topic... but for the best responses, make sure it's vague or misleading.
  2. Someone should tell Reggie Gilliam to focus more on football and less on leaking stories to the media.
  3. I think a more appropriate question is: What... is the sound of one hand clapping? (this is a rhetorical question... no need to answer)
  4. Infection of the tear ducts.
  5. If I'm making roster and financial decisions for an NFL team, I'm taking everything on a case by case basis and not making sweeping generalizations based on positional value. I can see a very strong justification for paying Cook more than some of the guys who got extensions this offseason. JMO.
  6. Just a few thoughts on the topic... I see some people asking the question "who watches every NFL game?" That misses the larger issue which is that the cost of watching the NFL continues to increase. That's the issue. Another issue is whether the cost of watching games is "fair." Some argue that the cost is fair based on simple market economics... "what the market will bear." However with the wealth inequality in this country there is an inequality in who can afford to watch the games, so to me it's a bit more complex than "what the market will bear" because the league is pricing out loyal and longtime customers that helped build the league. I'm with @Logic and @Simon in the opinion that the monopoly and greed of the NFL justifies a reaction of contempt and arguably justifies acts of piracy. I don't personally practice piracy but I don't have a problem with those that do. I always say you're only as principled as you can afford to be. At these prices I can still afford to be principled. If someday I decide not to pay an arm and a leg to the NFL, then they will lose my revenue. What will be interesting is what the NFL will do when higher prices create a drop in revenue. Will the NFL lower prices to increase the number of paying customers or will they simply raise prices on their remaining customers?
  7. Zero doesn’t qualify as an over/under so I’ll say 1. That feels like a certainty.
  8. Every time he's sacked we should call it an "Ayahuasca Retreat."
  9. Citing positive statistics as the OP did is an expression of appreciation for what the Bills have accomplished. Moreover it's a way of acknowledging that they're an excellent team and it indicates that the person expressing the data is happy with the team. Along those lines, if you don't get enjoyment and pleasure from watching the Josh Allen Buffalo Bills, you're probably not a happy person. Another sign of being a generally unhappy person would be if you're irritable or unsatisfied with a Bills victory because it wasn't as convincing as you wished it to be. JMO.
  10. Did you notice any discernible variance in his route tree in the aftermath of your yelling?
  11. Once McDermott took over, Darby was facing extinction. He hopped in his infamous Bentley and headed to the Eagles. This was actually somewhat of a homecoming for Darby as Philly is less than an hour from his hometown of Hamby, Maryland.
  12. Again though, even had the Bills kept their pick and taken Higgins, that's a guarantee of nothing. Being a rookie and presumed number one receiver in Buffalo is quite different than being the number two behind Jamar Chase in Cinci.
  13. The above doesn’t strengthen your argument IMO. Pittman’s best days appear behind him and Higgins without Chase is an interesting thought exercise. I agree with those who believe that the trade for Diggs was a good one. Could it have worked out better? Sure. Did it work well for awhile? Absolutely. Was it a hopeful risk that Diggs would parlay his second chance into becoming a better person? Of course. Did it work out that way? No. Did Beane do good damage control by getting a 2nd? Yes, very much so. How damaging was the cap hit? Not very based on last year’s results and the current state of the team.
  14. You guys are nuts... Mrs. Howell all the way!!!
  15. So you're saying it's a nothing burger but that McDermott is blowing it out of proportion?
  16. What do you make of McDermott saying that Bosa's injury is "concerning?"
  17. Are you possibly thinking of Seth Joyner or Byron Evans? Clyde Simmons was a big, rangy defensive end.
  18. Yes, he can now drink legally in every state in the US... he turned 21 on May 2nd.
  19. Louis Pasteur is on the list of coaches under Senior Germ Warfare Coordinator.
  20. What is this person's name? Thank you.
  21. Brown Swiss @Slippery Rubber Mats
