Small minority may have issues with the protest. The majority of issues stems from a generation of people no longer using traditional TV outlets to get their sports news etc... As for a private business it still belongs under the umbrella of the constitution of the United States, so unless we're going to allow each corproation to become its own Country they don't have a pot to piss in this regards. You are correct they can terminate an employee or bench that player.. but in the end that player will stil be paid via what they are owed in contract and that player would become a FA. I would think the majority of fans would be upset if their team was benched for practicing their rights as Ameircans. Now if people are really upset then they are not making that big of a deal about it because overall stadiums are still full and message boards are still busy

disagree .. its pretty standard practice... Name 1 agent that would allow his client to do otherwise. Name some of the contracts that remove money if someone gets injured and can't play. Also what bad lingo in the contract... If any team was to cut any of their top played players 1/2 way thorugh a contract or have that player medically retire in th emiddle of the deal they would all be left with significant cap hits. So what bad lingo are you referring to that is unsual in your eyes ?

You suggested it was bad lingo and why we have taken a cap hit. I think it very very much common lingo.. and the few who do not already have KNOWN issues or situations. .Woods' situation was not known so he signed a very stereotypical extension that gave him some guaernteed money like the majority of players all do. How many players sign contracts that remove guarentee money if they get injured ??????????????????????? Sounds like the one thing no player would ever want sign to play this game IMO

That statement flies in the face of every single thing this country does represent. If you are an American you accept the peaceful protest at its face value, a truely American thing to do. Maybe you do not beleive in the reasoning but that does change the fact that that it was a very American thing to do Those players made a statement, and it worked well because people are stil discussing it.. Mission accomplished Funny how people get upset over the very thing that brought this nation into being.. Freedom of expression freedom to peacefully protest, and freedom in general.... Why should anyone blindly swear allegiance to the USA if they have issues with how the country is being run.. Protests force conversation and change and thats is very much American DO you, or anyone dare suggest a law forcing people to stand during the national anthem... What would be the consequence. Doesn't sound like freedom to me

You should introduce us all to the players who don't want guarenteed money in case of injury... You could field a team with ZERO players

Every team deals with this type of situation. I guess I look at it differently. Woods gets to spend the rest of his life not being a quadriplegic.... Its a win situation.. really worries me that people resort to placing blame for this or are more concerned with the salary cap and roster ramifications. It is what it is. Thanks Eric for the service... Anyone remember that horrible broken leg the guy had his 1st season here. Guy paid some big dues for that guarnteed portion of his paycheck https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Wood

IMO I give everyone a benefit of the doubt but take all hear say info with a grain of salt just the same. but usually a faux insider can be exposed quickly... If a poster is still defending her/his claims 20 pages into a debate that's usually a sign of shenanigans. IMO anyone with real inside info says their peace and doesn't feel the compelling need to debate it.

yeah its not happening IMO... because of the QB run up top, excellent higher rated players, in positions of need, will be falling to us.

no there not

I never understood the mafia thing myself. There is no definition of mafia that paints anything in a positive light Ma·fi·a ˈmäfēə/ noun noun: Mafia; noun: the Mafia an organized international body of criminals, operating originally in Sicily and now especially in Italy and the US and having a complex and ruthless behavioral code. any organized group using extortion and other criminal methods. noun: mafia; plural noun: mafias a closed group of people in a particular field, having a controlling influence.

cold weather teams the ball becomes hard and slippery hot weather conditons the ball expands some. its not the most improtant measurable by a longshot, but teams measure it for a reason.... if you have 2 QB's that are eqal in every other measurable and stats but one has a hand 0.5 inches larger you may use that in a decision.. but overall I agree its the last measurable we really need to be having a hardcore debate about.... More importantly is completion % type of college Offense Ability to scan the field Performance against high competion and bowl games Ability to sense pocket pressure Height/size probably a few more to add in there but hand size doesn't come into the equation till all the otehr more improtant attributes have been dissected

Here's some info to chew on and dissect and debate. https://www.quora.com/Which-NFL-QB-has-the-largest-hands Brady is not measured but rumor has it they're huge

I have to disagree It's all about the bass

A large pair of paws is a nice attibute to have in Buffalo. Cold footballs are hard an dlsippery Outside of Tanner and Allen they all seem to have small paws

LOL yes you may

I have to laugh but kind of pathetic just the same So the ad that pops up on th emain TBD page says "Breaking News, Kevin James punches a fan at meet greet" I usually don't click but I was curious about it. So when I do click on it it takes me to a webpage that has a report on how Kevin James beat his Erectile Dysfunction. I flabergasted on that one

I agree the league has been watered down... way to much tilt towards offense and the passing game... Miss the game being played the 1st 30 years of the modern NFL

Hey I'm scratching my balls

but we would pay to see that

I honeslty don't understand this thought. Is it not ok to not feel obligated to watch the game. I love the Bills and watching them play etc... But without the bills there is no emotional involvement for me.. Some of the reasoning has to do with the fact I moved away form Buffalo and all my friends and family still live there. Here i have co workers but do to travel logistics and the fact i get up at 3am every day to get ready and go to work....it makes it impossible to attend a superbowl party.... where I would be more interested in commercials beer food and conversation than the actual game anyway. I always said if Bills left Buffalo I would probably never watch another footbal game.. Just the way I am

I haven't watched the SB in years.. Just don't find the sport interesting without Buffalo

Agreed so you have to be a good actor.. If you abuse it you'll get a reputation for it.

I got to go with Jordan just based on the fact he was likeable.

It will get the defender to back off some which will give me the space i need. All with in the rules. Nothing pathetic about it at all....

hindsight being 20/20 I think the only reason this team was in the playoffs was because they shed some me 1st players and players that just did not fit the scheme.
