  1. I don't know who this Burrows guy is you're talking about. Maybe you mean Joe Burroughs?
  2. I hate to break it to ya, but if the Buffalo Bills win a Super Bowl, you ain't getting a ring.
  3. WNY doesn't count in HS football. I really had no idea how big it could be until I moved to Ohio. A St. X game on Friday night gets more fans than a UB game on Saturday. And even that's nothing compared to Texas and Florida. And the Catholic schools here recruit. Every good 8th grade player in a public school that is not Wyoming or Colerain will end up at St. X, LaSalle, Elder, or Moeller with an "academic scholarship." Alumni demand wins and will pay for them.
  4. Other coaches probably turned him in because he was winning. If the innercity schools start retaining their local players and winning, Catholic, Christian, and other private schools won't be able to recruit their players away with "academic" scholarships. So they are putting him in his place.
  5. I realise that we’re supposed to clown on this thread, but I want to respond. Cook didn’t hold out! He was a full participant at Minicamp and isn’t causing problems in the locker room. He’s making social media noise, which annoys fans, but he is going to play regardless. For this season, this is a non-story. Do I wish that it was a WR who was so good that he had outplayed his contract and was making harmless noise for more money? Yes. Yes I do.
  6. You have to have a big personality as a HC if the team is located in what is essentially a beach resort with nightclubs.
  7. Fans always talk about CBs transitions to safety to talk themselves into trades for aging CBs.
  8. People are judging the players against each other, and in this case, Fitzpatrick is a better player than Ramsay at this point. But the Fins just traded their #1 CB and #1TE for a Safety. That's a bad trade and it doesn't matter how good the safety is.
  9. Lawrence is such an interesting case. All the physical gifts are there, but he lacks mental resilience. I think that vaunted 68-game winning streak in high school and college meant that he never learned to pick himself off the mat. It just came so easy for him; he was always the best guy on the best team. When the losing started in Jacksonville, a sort of apathy set in from which he has yet to recover. It also doesn't help that the entire organization in Jacksonville seems like an afterthought. If Jacksonville decides to cut bait and he goes to the Steelers next offseason, I think we might see a Mayfield-like resurrection.
  10. Exactly. Wealthy people don't go broke. They declare bankruptcy all the time and keep their jets and houses. They stash half in the Caymen's or in Switzerland and declate themselves broke to get out of paying debts. Then they do it again in a few years.
  11. He just spent a week in a luxury hotel in Dubai.
  12. I think it's hard for people not in WNY to understand how little attention the NHL gets in the U.S. in non-traditional hockey markets. I live in Cincinnati. We have an NHL team an hour and a half away in Columbus, and they might as well not exist. The Cavs get a lot more attention here, and Cleveland is three hours away.
  13. Absolutely! But I thought it was interesting how close to the Watson signing those meetings were and how much that impacted the Lamar Jackson negotiations.
  14. Those owners meetings took place from 3/27-3/30, 2022. DeShawn Watson signed that contract on 3/18, 2022. The owners were in shock.
