  1. I wish to god the schedule didn't have us playing the Patriots and Dolphins each twice, in December.

    I don't understand this, especially with regard to the Pats. I think it's a major advantage not having to play the Pats until late. Same with the Dolphins, whose home field advantage disappears late in the season and who must hate coming to Orchard Park in the winter. (Early in the season, the Dolphins' homefield advantage is based on the overpowering heat and humidity, but that's not a factor in December.)

  2. I would for Darnold but he's probably not coming out.

     

    Darnold is not in one read offense.

    Darnold is not even worth selling a small garden for, but I know you think he's great. We'll see. (And by the way, I'm not at all convinced he's staying in school.)

     

    Nice call on Darren Carrington, but we won't get him if we wait until the 7th round. I watched him for a few years at U of O and was at the game this weekend in Eugene. He caught 9 balls for 130 yards and he was literally Utah's only receiving threat. Oh, and their QB is awful. I wonder if DC's off-field exploits will make him untouchable for McBeane, though.

  3. This IS true, period. Anyone can be replaced.

     

    Any decent employer tries to understand the employee and find a way to make them more productive while meeting their personal needs.

     

    NFL EMPLOYEES get great big checks, but give up some things in return, like the ability to jump to employer X, Y or Z at will.

     

    The majority of my working life was in banking. If I wanted to share my opinions with anyone about anything, I would have been given one warning. The next time....out the door. When youre at work, you do your job. My wife manages people who make 7 figures. If one of them pulled this kind of crap theyd be gone in no time. THAT is how the real world works as Ive experienced it.

    Fine, but it is not the way it works in the NFL or any number of other professions. I dont understand your point.
  4. If you think the culture war which led to the election of President Trump, and is currently leading to the very loud rejection of leftism around the country at every single level of government is bad now; wait until you see what happens when you attempt to undo the republican democratic process by attempting to impeach the will of people for purely political reasons.

     

    The complete lack of self awareness of the left is hilarious to watch.

    His impeachment wont happen without Republican votes...And they are out there.
  5. You're perfectly entitled to your terrible opinions.

     

    I'll simply tell you that your entire thought process is why you're going to have 8 years of President Trump, and continued stacks of 4 year blocks of various stripes of Republican successors, until you (the larger you) stop behaving like this.

    with any luck, we wont even have to endure three more years of Trump. But we will see, I suppose. I think his exploitation of racial tension will start to wear thin, and the lies will eventually catch up to him. But that is just IMO, of course.
  6. This is not a compelling argument, and quite frankly is completely tone deaf.

     

    The notion that because someone supports the President that it is reasonable to assume a default position of racism, and to then seek to burden this person with accusations of racism over benign language with a two century history of having zero racial undertones is ugly, intellectually lazy, immoral, and detrimental to the fabric of the country.

     

    It is also further evidence of a political left bent on fascism and the destruction of the democratic process.

    Pretty much every word in this post is wrong. Not surprising, though.
  7. He said he's sorry. At this point, it's a dog and pony show for eyeballs and clicks.

     

    The players don't accept his apology? What losers.

    The apology was hollow and was coupled with a lie about what he was actually talking about. Plus, McNair is a major supporter of a reality tv show host-turned politician who has made his political fortune by exploiting and stoking racial resentment. Hes not going to get the benefit of the doubt in this arena.
  8. I think hes been the older out of date guy more than the intentionally mean guy. He made headlines last year for saying he was more concerned about the knee jerk reactions to concussions than concussions themselves, for instance.

     

    Its probably getting to be time for him to not have a mic in front of him

    McNair has been a major contributor to Trump and the GOP, both have which made stoking racial grievances their bread and butter. Dont think that hasnt been noticed by the players, or that it isnt an important part of the context here.
