So it’s confirmed that they cheated—again. Incredible.

Thank you. These athletes (and their coaches) are at far greater risk of dying in an auto accident on their way to practice.

The players who test positive will no doubt quarantine for a week or two to avoid infecting others, just like someone with the flu would be expected to stay home. BFD. Furthermore, the evidence that non-symptomatic people (esp. young people) are major spreaders of the disease is weak at best. Finally, the vast majority of college coaches and trainers are also in age categories where the virus poses less risk than things like accidental drowning or being struck by lightning. What was your point? No football this year? GTFOOH!

McCoy had one really good year for the Bills. And he was an easily replaced RB. Hughes has been our best pass rusher for seven years in a row, FFS. He probably will be again in 2020.

And yet no reports that even one of them is seriously ill, and none likely to be, given their ages. Why is this even a story? We have lost our damn minds.

Hughes trade and it's not close. Hughes is still an elite (or near elite) player at a very high value position. McCoy was overpaid and overrated at the lowest value position on the field. He really only had two good seasons here. Hughes on the other hand is still playing at a high level seven years after trade.

Hmmm

I’m not trying to be a wiseguy, but how do we know Pegula’s oil and gas business is debt-free? Is it publicly traded?

I think you are wrong. The pistol offense they ran at Oregon was a terrible match for his skill-set, especially after they refused to let him run, his senior year. I think he’s going to be a really good pro.

Anyone who says they’re going to kneel now, after doing and saying nothing for three years to support Kaepernick, should be hooted off the stage.

You should be. He’s going to be the best QB in this class, and he’s walking into a very good situation in LA. He’s what Josh Allen would have looked like if he’d started 4 years at a major program.

I’m more than a little disappointed that no one has cued up that epic video of a liquored-up Baker being chased and tackled by the cops...

Oh, I get it. The people who left Kaepernick out to dry for three years are in a tough position right now...doesn’t mean I can’t laugh at them.

Interesting. I don’t recall JJ Watt (or BOB) speaking out on Kaepernick’s behalf before now. Smells like disingenuous opportunism to me...

A laughable take. Herbert is ten times the prospect Osweiler was.

So guys who go higher in the draft are always better than guys who go later? Come on, you know better than that. You act as though it’s an objective fact that Tua is a better QB than Stidham when neither has played more than a couple of snaps...

How is it stupid talk? Tua is injury-prone, undersized and has yet to take a snap in even a preseason NFL game, and Stidham has barely played a series in the NFL. He was a good college QB at a top program and has good tools. Simms has been right far more than he’s been wrong, especially when it comes to evaluating QBs.

Or re-sign him, for that matter...

Probably. I just wonder if sometimes the publicity can work against a guy like Oliver, with a DA who doesn’t want to be seen rolling over for the rich and famous.

People would be shocked at the things a good defense lawyer can do to undermine a DWI charge...

No, he’s being processed right now...

Kinda hard to leave OJ off. He’s the only Buffalo Bill who was unquestionably the best player in football, which he was for at least two or three seasons.

Just looked at Brady’s 2019 stats, and you’re right. Not a terrible year, but well below his standard. I was basing my take on the games I saw him play, where he looked very limited in what he could do. As we know, Belichick doesn’t wait for guys to bottom out...

Stidham will not be as good as Brady was last year in certain areas, but he’ll also be able to do a lot of things Brady wouldn’t or couldn’t do. Brady was very limited.

Brady was pretty awful last year. How much worse could Stidham be? At least he can move and won’t throw the ball into the ground at the first hint of a pass rush. I’m pretty sure Belichick did not want another season of that.
