Josh is smarter than a lot of people realize
Big Turk replied to Another Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Not a surprise to anyone who has listened to him break down plays after games and "what he saw* that show extremely high level processing ability in short timeframes. -
Taron Johnson not attending Voluntary workouts with Raiders
Big Turk replied to Albany,n.y.'s topic in The Stadium Wall
If the workouts are "voluntary", why is this even news? -
Dolphins draft pick takes 250k guaranteed, then retires
Big Turk replied to Gregg's topic in The Stadium Wall
No, unlikely it was just for injury. Teams compete to get UDFA's and they offer signing bonuses as a way to lure them away from other teams. They don't have any rules so sometimes players that have multiple teams after them can parlay that into a decent signing bonus. $258K doesn't go very far these days after taxes and agent fees tho. -
In what universe are we comparing 2 HOF receivers and a HOF RB that was a huge weapon in the pass game with literally ANYONE we have on the team right now?? Perhaps only in The Twilight Zone? https://youtu.be/NzlG28B-R8Y?si=P6_m8iMxX2KV6FGB

Allen is the most productive player in NFL history in both the regular and postseason on a per-game basis. -

Are the Lamar Jackson Ravens overrated in this era?
Big Turk replied to Kelly No huddle's topic in The Stadium Wall
You see what they are really about... Lamar Jackson stat padding with 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter in a game they are up 30+ points, still throwing TDs. -
Yes, that part is true too I believe. Apparently there was a story overheard by someone during the time the 05-06 team was being honored and they were shooting the sh!t with the current players where they were told that Ruff was being so negative and was really getting after Owen Power about his play in a film session and Tage Thompson stood up and went off on Ruff and said they were sick and tired of his negativity and always being so down on them constantly. The room went pin drop quiet for a while and nobody said anything but the players secretly loved it and Ruff actually took it to heart, didn't try and defend his behavior, met with the players leadership group later that day and asked for help changing and their help working with him. The meeting went well, the leadership group met with the other players and told them this is how it's going to be from now on, everyone was on board and then as they kept winning, their confidence in themselves and in doing what Ruff was asking them to do kept growing and it became almost a self-fulfilling prophecy at that point. How much of that it true? Nobody will know, but that was the report out there.

Vrabel and Russini cheating on their spouses together ? Rumor
Big Turk replied to DJB's topic in The Stadium Wall
Marriage from it's inception was designed as a business contract, not one based on today's modern notion of "love". That played no part in it and often mix like oil and water. Ironically, the rules for "cheating" changed with the modern shift as It was common for them to have partners outside of marriage to fulfill the "love" part that was missing in the business arrangement, but the rules for marriage did not change with the modern shift. Those two things are incompatible with each other and why so many marriages fail and why they are becoming seen less and less of a good idea by many men in the younger generation. -
Vrabel and Russini cheating on their spouses together ? Rumor
Big Turk replied to DJB's topic in The Stadium Wall
I mean looking at Vrabel's wife I can see why he would want to get at Russini. -
Essentially they made a decision to stop wasting their talent and looking for others to blame, and decided they would play the system being asked of them and bust their ass at the little details. At the same time Kevyn Adams got fired, and while he built the team, the players had little confidence he was going to get them to where they needed to go. Essentially once he got fired and replaced by a "real GM" in Jarmo Kekalainen and he brought in highly respected Assistant GMs in Flynn and Bergevin, the players knew the Sabres actually were done accepting being a laughingstock and were ready to be a real NHL team.

I didn't say it was easy, I said it was simple.
