Bill from NYC

Watching girls go passing by It ain't the latest thing I'm just standing in a doorway I'm just trying to make some sense Out of these girls passing by The tales they tell of men I'm not waiting on a lady I'm just waiting on friend

First of all, Alabama isn't asking for sympathy, nor am I. In fact, I clearly expressed sympathy for Iowa and Coach Ferentz, to whom I have zero allegiance. Proctor took Iowa's money (more than 1/2 of what they had alloted as per Coiach Ferentz) and then announced that he is going to re-enter the portal on April 15. There is great speculation that he wants to return to Alabama. Meanwhile, the Alabama players are busting their asses in camp, and the "A Game" is on Saturday. This is something like an NFL player signing with a team as a UFA, taking their signing bonus, leaving 2 weeks later, and keeping the signing bonus. As you said, the only way around this would be contracts, but would that be safe? How could a school get their money back, especially after some (not all) kids buy cars, jewelry, etc.? Again, I do not seek sympathy. I would be more prone to feel a bit sorry for you for rooting for an inferior team. Either way, Alabama didn't really get screwed. Iowa did. In fact, Alabama Fans are not too thrilled with Proctor coming back, if in fact Coach DeBoer welcomes him.

I wanna be your lover I wanna be the only one that makes you come running I wanna be your lover I wanna turn you on, turn you out All night long, make you shout Oh lover, yeah I wanna be the only one you come for

Your friends tell you There's no future in lovin' a married man If I can't see you when I want you I'll see you when I can If lovin' you is wrong I don't wanna be right If lovin' you is wrong I don't wanna be right

Stockpile them in this deep wr class and provide Allen with better blocking, so the WRs can be better utilized. If the draftees don't do well, repeat the same in 2025. This can and should be done without stupidly giving away draft picks ala Whaley.

I am probably the biggest Alabama Fan in New York but I cannot visualize JC Latham going in the top 10. His weight ballooned up to over 350 pounds and he plays RT. He is a good player but again, #9 does not seem reasonable.

'Cause I am barely breathing And I can't find the air Don't know who I'm kidding Imagining you care And I could stand here waiting A fool for another day I don't suppose it's worth the price You're worth the price, the price that I would pay But I'm thinking it over anyway I'm thinking it over anyway

In the songs I've been singing, quite often a phrase Comes close to the feeling of you But I never suspected that one of those days The wish of a song would come true You love for real, You show the feel Of everything that touches you

I voted no. We need multiple receivers and blockers which are both said to be plentiful in this draft. Why would we want to trade away early draft picks? This would be an impulsive, poorly thought Whaley type move. Jmo.

In a class that is said to be loaded at OT, the Bills should absolutely draft at least 1. Dion is HUGE and a great candidate for injury. RT Brown will probably command a HUGE contract when free agency comes around. If we posters can see this, it isn't asking too much for McDermott to see it.

I agree and tried to make that clear. Believe what you will. If McDermott drafts a defensive player in round one, will you change your outlook?

McDermott is the power in this organization. He was here before Beane, got him hired and can get him fired.

I have seen Nabers play and he looks like an excellent receiver. That said, this is not a move that I would be in favor of. In 2014, an undisciplined, impulsive Doug Whaley gave away the store for Sammy Watkins and it proved to be a disaster. True, we didn't have a decent QB on the roster (let alone a great one like Josh Allen) but if deals like this turn out to be a mistake they can cripple a team. This draft is said to be quite deep at the WR and OT positions. I favor staying put and filling the roster with early picks at these positions. I readily admit that I suffer from shell shock after decades of Bills stupidity and really do hope that McDermott surprises me and does this the right way.

OK THAT was hilarious!!!😁

Agreed. As I said my chair was rocking sideways with the legs leaving the floor on the last one. This one was noisier and as you said, lasted longer.

That is how fast these thing travel. Approx 12 years ago I was on the phone with my daughter. She said to me "I have to go" and hung up. She was living in Herndon, VA. I had no idea what was happening to her and was scared. Less that a minute later my chair was rocking from side to side. I'm not sure that this one was as bad.

My cousin told me that Tewksbury, NJ was the epicenter and she live just a few miles from there.

How many of you felt it in the tristate area? They are calling it a 4.9 on Long Island. My house was shaking for a few seconds.

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you I know you were right believing for so long I'm all out of love, What am I without you? I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong

Imo the most important change has to be wrt the transfer portal and NIL. I am not against either mind you. Far from it but they really do need somne sort of regulated system. OT Kadyn Proctor was a 5 star, top 10 overall player coming out of HS. He played well (not great) as a freshman. Proctor hit the portal after Coach Saban retired and went to Iowa Univ. (his home state). A few weeks later he decided to re-enter the portal and return to Alabama. Coach Ferentz wished him well, but he also stated that Proctor took more than 1/2 of Iowa's NIL money with him. As an Alabama Fan I suppose that this should make me happy but it does not. I mean, what is there to stop a great player from signing with the Tide, taking our NIL money, and splitting with it? As it now stands, the college players have more freedom that NFL players. Mahomes can't just decide that he wants to play for the Dolphins. He is under contract. Again. I am all for players getting paid but college football is in need of a fair system.

Running away, to get away Ha-ha, ha-ha You're wearing out your shoes Look at you fooling you Making blues, of night and day Hee-hee, hee-hee You're stretching out your dues Look at you fooling you

I wanna jump but I'm afraid I'll fall I wanna holler but the joint's too small Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

I am thinking that perhaps I'm going against the grain with my opinion. I have been very tough on McDermott but my initial reaction to this trade is positive but with a caveat. If he dedicates the early picks to WRs and OTs, I think it was a good move. I don't think that Diggs is getting better, and a #2 is frankly a bit more than I expected. This draft appears to be loaded with receivers and OL, and now is the time to focus more on the offense and these positions specifically. The caveat? If McDermott drafts safeties, corners and other defenders with the early picks we will be heading right back to the Levy/Jauron days and lose football games. I truly hope this doesn't happen but again, at this point I support the trade. Jmo.

Mine is Jermaine Burton - WR - University of Alabama. I'm calling him a sleeper because he is a first round talent imo but I don't often read about him being selected in round one. here is why: 1) He is said to be a bit of a head case. 2) His quarterback (Jalen Milroe) isn't so great imo. Some of the passes in this video were very good. Others didn't hit Burton in stride. Milroe is not very accomplished at short to mid range passes imo. 3) It is worth noting that at the Alabama Pro Day, Burton chose QB Ty Simpson to throw to him over Milroe. I really can see this kid as a great #2 for Josh, who is 100x better than Milroe. I think that Jermaine would be open all over the field and score TDs. As always, JMO.

I spent a little time on the mountain I spent a little time on the hill I saw things getting out of hand I guess they always will Now, I don't know, but I been told If the horse don't pull you got to carry the load I don't know whose back's that strong Maybe find out before too long RIP Robert Hunter
