I hear what you’re saying but I’ll judge the ***** out of him. If someone is paying you what he’s getting, get over whatever you are or aren’t feeling and live up to your end of the bargain.And I hear what you are saying but imo, scenes like this will only increase. Now, college players are driving around in Porsches. Many players will not let it affect them but I think that an increasing number of them will go wild with all of that money. Some of these kids will make more in college than I made in my entire life, and I'm not starving. But ya know, good for them. Many of them will spend the rest of their lives in pain, and they are super talented people.
I tend to forsee many more problems like Dashaun down the road, but this could also be me being pessimistic.

Deshaun is probably an example of a player who is no longer hungry.
I am of the opinion that not every player who is in their twenties and riding around in a Porsche with a million cash in his pocket will be hungry enough to play professional football. Watson was great at Clemson. Dabo still talks about him. Some players that have this much money seem to lose their motivation.
I'm not judging them either. Put me in that position at that age and I would rather not be sacked by Von Miller or some human missle safety on a blitz. I also would not want to take a punch from Mike Tyson. Nope, I'm sure that in my twenties I would rather hang out til all hours, party with the hottest women on the planet, and wake up when I feel like it.
My guess is that plenty of teams are going to eat tons of cap space in the future after getting stuck with players who are rich and no longer care, especially given the size of these QB contracts. Dak Prescott might make more money per year than some owners.

That Sir, was a badass Raider team. They had some dangerous men on that squad.

Doubtful. He’ll most likely be in protective or isolated from most of the others. He also has money or access to money. Not hard to pay others for protection.
So was Epstein.
When the big boys really want you ain't looking good my friend. Look at what is going on today, and btw, I doubt if Ghislaine Maxwell lasts much longer. Do you think she will live long enough to write a tell all book? I'm surprised they didn't get to her yet tbh.

My guess is that one of three things will happen:
1) He will ahem "commit suicide" in prison or be coincidently be murdered.
2) He will go to trial and buy his way into an aquittal.
3) His lawyers will tell him that he is sure to lose and he will talk and name names, and I do mean prominent names.
My guess is #2. He is said to have big time political and Hollywood connections.
What say you?

I don’t know. Those teams are back in the top 5 again. The elite of the elite will remain elite in the portal/nil era. Texas will be good for the forseeable future. There will be others that come and go but those programs won’t allow themselves to become Nebraska.
Agreed, especially wrt Texas. They seem to have unlimited money, and Sarkisian is a GREAT coach. I consider him to be one of the great offensive minds in all of football, college and pros.
Btw, the Arch Maning mania is quite premature imo. If Ewers doesn't come back, I don't expect Texas to win the title.
Jmo.

After the very good draft of 2001, productive drafts for us were few and far between. A case can be made that our next productive draft came in 2017, and even at that McDermott traded away the pick for Mahomes.
2009 was decent but remember, this was the year that they foolishly traded away Jason Peters, a GREAT LT.
Gilmore and Glenn were productive players in the 2012 draft, but they missed out on the QBs that were named above. Other than that, it's hard (at least for me) to find a Bills draft to get excited about pre 2017.
I don't think that many young fans know how much we suffered during the drought years.

EJ was a terrible QB for us, but he is very good and informative on the Sirius College Sports Channel, and sounds like a smart, nice guy.

Come Saturday morning
I'm goin' away with my friend
We'll Saturday-spend 'til the end of the day-ay
Just I and my friend
We'll travel for miles in our Saturday smiles
And then we'll move on
But we will remember
Long after Saturday's gone

I think that the Lions are great. I picked them before the season to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. They should win easily imo.

They say that all good things must end someday
Autumn leaves must fallBut don't you know that it hurts me so
To say goodbye to you?
Wish you didn't have to go
No, no, no, noAnd when the rain beats against my window pane
I'll think of summer days again
And dream of you -
Damar did nothing wrong at all. Tua was wrong to even be on the field. He should retire and live his life.

100%. His contract has huge money protected against injury. So when the time comes and he walks away it will go like this:
Tua: I want to play footbal.
Doctor: Yeah...I can't clear you to do that.
Tua: Ah shucks. Guess I will go home then. (Profit)Good for him. He didn't put a gun to anybody's head to give him that huge contract.

Eddie George, for my money, is the most overrated "great" player of all time. The man averaged 3.6 YPC for his CAREER and only averaged over 4 YPC twice in his career, both barely at 4.1...people confuse his college career with his pro career.
I also place Curtis Martin in the class of a "statistics compiler." I am NOT saying that he wasn't very good, because he was. I just think that his greatest asset was endurance.
Of course, jmo.

Sly look that we keep the promise, ladies
And make me get off
Take it from girls with our imagination
So we can get off
Call me up at your place, I can love you crazy
In the heat you will understand
Danger and excitement, that's what makes a lady

Here is a Hall of Fame LB. It took him forever to get inducted. I was very young when he played but I always thought that he was great. He was one of the best LBs I ever saw play, easily in the top 10 imo.

Not really under the radar but Davonta Smith. He's not the biggest or the fastest wr, but he is spectacular.
What he could do with Josh Allen throwing to him is unthinkable.

Any doctor worth his salt would tell him to walk, no, run away, and live a normal, healthy life, whatever that may be at this point.
not a team doctor, or NFL doctor either.
just a regular persons doctor.
it’s a “ no brainer”.
pardon the pun.
As I said before, as a Crimson Tide fan, Tua is one of my favorite non-Bill players, and perhaps one of the nicest people in sports by all accounts. That said, I never want to see him play another down. He probably should have retired before this incident.
Still, I have no sympathy for the Dolphins and I'd love to see Jaylen Waddle escape from Miami, perhaps to Buffalo for a few high draft choices. I can dream, can't I?

I see that worried look upon your face
You've got your troubles, I've got mine
She's found somebody else to take your place
You've got your troubles, I've got mine
I too have lost my love today
All of my dreams have flown away -
I have watched Tua and have been a fan of his since he threw his first pass at Alabama, let alone when he threw the best game winning, clutch TD pass I for one have ever seen. There is no team or player that I am capable of rooting for against the Bills and this includes Tua, but by ALL accounts; the man is a wonderful person. Nick Saban once said that HE is more polite just from having been around Tua.
I wish that he retired before this horrible injury and hope to NEVER see him play football again. I pray that he heals 100% and goes on to enjoy his life, because this is more important than football.
Get better Tua and God bless.

I know this super highway
This bright familiar sun
I guess that I'm the lucky one
Who wrote that tired sea song
Set on this peaceful shore
You think you've heard this one beforeWell the danger on the rocks is surely past
Still I remain tied to the mast
Could it be that I have found my home at last
Home at last -
Everybody's smoking, and no one's getting high
Everybody's flying, and never touch the sky
There's UFO's over New York, and I ain't too surprised
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed

So...Carolina Panthers vs. Alabama in the annual 'what if' game? 🤔😉😁
When Alabama was the National Champion in 2021 they had what I consider to be one of the best teams in college football history, especially on offense. That said, there was NO WAY that they could have beat the worst team in the NFL, and I even posted this at the time.
College teams just cannot defeat NFL teams.
Josh Allen vs Patrick Mahomes: The changing of the guard?

I am still amazed watching Allen play. He really is perhaps the most gifted QB in NFL history. He makes difficult passes look easy with his combination of touch, placement, and of course arm strength.
I hope that I live long enough to see him inducted into the HOF.
