You may not know that 12-Step recovery is based on finding a spiritual solution to addiction. The 12 steps are based on finding a Higher Power or “God” to give over control of one’s life and to get one’s “house in order”. Pike’s grandfather was a Baptist minister and Mark Pike was always one to lead prayer circles at midfield after games. It’s natural that Zeke Pike would gravitate toward a ministry as part of getting his house in order. Although there are many that give religion a bad name, there are many, many more that turn to spirituality/religion to cope with life. It doesn’t make them infallible, or make them impervious to having problem employees or addict children. Enabling addicts and troublemakers is, in my experience, a completely separate issue from following a religion or being spiritual. It can be an affliction in itself, codependency is one example.

“Utah lawmakers raised the state’s minimum marriage age to 16 in March.” whaaaa? Raised to 16??

Butch Rolle isn’t doing squat for this guy

Commie!

I think the Bills take Williams if he’s available and then trade back up into the late first to get their D-lineman. TE after that. Signing Yeldon means there is less need to grab a TE earlier. RBs will be Allen’s bread and butter in between bombs.

Yet another reason why we can’t sign free agents in this friggin town

Sounds like someone needs a hug. Come here you big lug.....

I understand, but I was thinking more along the lines of “legitimate case” being “reasonable legal basis” as opposed to “take a shot and maybe they’ll flinch and settle”

This made me giggle. Since when do lawyers need a “legitimate case”? LOL

I would have bet money you were gonna say they upgraded your Sabres season tickets to Bills season tickets.

Ahhhhh....sleep apnea. Found the cure!

“Breaking...”?? This is news, much less “Breaking” news? Breaking: I am enjoying tonight’s Final Four games!

Try melatonin. Sleep like a baby

I see that point, but he was also pointing out a pass rush is less effective than good coverage when a QB is getting the ball out on time in 2 seconds. And with zone coverage, DBs aren’t trying to run with receivers, as long as they maintain positions, they can cover better and longer than in man situations. Im not saying don’t draft a pass rusher over a CB, I’m saying select the best CB over the 7th best D-lineman because it may be that’ll be your BPA.

They’ll take the CB and I’ll sit back and watch the board implode. Actually, I heard a compelling argument for Murphy by a PFF guy on One Bills Live the other day. He cited some of their analytics that said CBs can be bigger difference-makers than pass rushers. Something along the lines of “you can still complete a pass under great pressure, but it’s harder to complete a pass under great coverage”. He also cited the Bills’ defensive strategy of playing mostly zone and Murphy is the best zone cover CB that they rated. It sounded crazy at first but he made a good argument. If the top 6 D-linemen are gone by #9, you take the best player available at another position, because chances are they will be rated higher than DL #7.

I have no thoughts on day drinking and don’t wish to discuss it

I’m confused. Is our strategy to draft Pro Bowl special teamers, or are we looking for players with some type of ceiling with an 80% chance of being in the top 5%?

To piggyback on the OP’s strategy, my thought is to draft guys with low ceilings and high bottoms - they’re typically average but at least you’ll know what you’re getting.

Once again, the customers were the only ones that knew what the $&@! was (supposed to be) going on.

I’ve gotten to the point if I can’t get in the first 10 rows in a medium/big venue I won’t go. For the money shows cost now, I’m not gonna sit way back or in the balcony. I’ve gotten spoiled being up close. The experience is so much more immersive.

I was there in 2009. They have Take It Easy playing 24/7 at the “corner in Winslow Arizona”. There’s even a girl in a flatbed Ford!

According to the Eagles song, Winslow is in Arizona. You sure you don’t live in Arizona?

OMG! I know this girl! And her name also begins with “A”! Freaky!

WotAGuy has the same issue with this third person crap. What an ahole.

My snowflake is melting. ?
