Let me see if I can understand this guy’s logic. The Bills apparently kicked Bell’s tires in free agency, but decided against the sky high contract. But now, they will be willing to part with a high pick AND take on the contract they didn’t like in March? These people get paid to write this crap?

No class by Bucs. They screwed him over by releasing after the draft.

As an aside, who was the first to use the term "soft bigotry/racism of low expectations?"

Ashkenazis didn't really exist yet in the period I'm talking about. bbb opened up a discussion that can take a long time to unravel, but would be good education for people spinning conspiracy theories.

You have to look at it in the context of how Europeans looked at Jews over the millennia. The ordinary Jews were usually highly segregated in the ghettos or villages, with the well-off families sometimes allowed to live among the general population. But the deciding line was always religion, especially since you couldn't place a distinct nationality around it, based on any normal notion of nationality. Thus, by default by the time middle ages, Jews acquired a nationality by virtue of being of a Jewish religion, and not coming from a particular nation or region, as they were removed from their native land by some 500 years.

This is great news for the season opener tickets!!

How about the inverse? If someone is convicted of a serious crime that they did not commit, and the conviction was due to severe misconduct on the part of the police and prosecutors - should the defense give up because the sentencing was already handed down?

Alyssa Milano was prescient

My take-way from this game's highlights? How did Murray become the top pick in the draft?

Reading up on his background it's very clear that hiring the right assistants will be very important for his success. I see more Marv Levy than Bill Belichick in his background.

The Athletic just confirmed as well. Stanley Cup!!

Uhm, they were the primary writers of many chapters of that book.

I still have a tap somewhere in the basement

Smart strategy to double down on deplorables when you can't poll into double digits.

Yeah it's not just you. Lenz's posts somehow muck up the board's reply features. Must be intentional.

So if I understand it correctly, Iran is saying that if the West doesn't want to abide by the deal everyone signed in 2015 with ostensibly good intentions, then the ONLY alternative is for it to start a war with Saudi Arabia?

Just saw on Sabrespace that Johan Larsson is leaving Sabres to join SHL team. (Edit) Or maybe not

I think the only reason Croom was on the roster last year is because everyone else was so bad. Can't block and has suspect hands. Tough combo to overcome for a TE.

Hey look at that, you're alive. Never know these days.

I believe that "our" AB made it through training camp and appeared in August games.

It will have nothing to do with First Amendment. If you believe Greggy's theory that some in the press were part of the intel machinery to the extent of actually receiving payments, then it's a fairly straightforward conspiracy case that can very easily ensnare the organizations themselves. Just like the charges against Assange are not about him publishing the leaked documents, but being an active participant in helping to steal the information. Just like Arthur Anderson as a company did not commit any crimes, yet that didn't stop criminal charges from being filed. The BoD members won't be indicted, but they'll be the Directors of major companies facing criminal charges, which will kill the companies. They have a fiduciary duty to their shareholders to prevent that. That's why I'm guessing there will be a lot of behind the scenes discussions if DoJ has truly incriminating evidence.
