I might need to subscribe to Sirius 

For years NFL Radio did not come with my subscription, and they finally added it last year. When I’m in the car by myself, I almost always have either NFL radio or fantasy sports radio on. Kirwin is extremely knowledgeable and had a great interview with Beane today.

73.4% of the US adult population 20 and over was either obese or overweight as of 2018.

BMI is not always the best of measures.

McKenzie is 5’ 8”, 173 lbs. He’s categorized as Overweight.  

 

Nevertheless, I agree with the unstated premise.

BMI is not a good measure for athletes that’s for certain, but the other 73.4 percent of the population need to exercise some self respect and stop living on Taco Bell and eating as an activity, pretty darn sad no matter how one spins it…,, have we become a country of fat people…,

He was way better than anything Spencer Brown or Darryl Williams offered last season. 

🤣🤣🤣🤣 now you don’t think Daryl Williams offered much?  Do you still think he offers as much or more than Saffold?  What a terrible take that was for June.

Have you been to the beach lately? I don’t think it’s gotten any better. 

 

Just keep walking, listen to the waves and look at the water. 

 

In case you think I’m being “judgey”, I’m sure you’d prefer that I keep my shirt on covering my pasty white soft body.

It’s Scottlaw, his takes are always entertaining and lack context, I think entertaining is the main thing though. 😂

Sure, it was a lot of signings, but those guys combined cap this year ($10M) is the same they paid for Star.

I know a lot of fans wanted Scherff signed at G but that was for $16M per year.

 

Beane and McDermott chose those 4 on DL and yes, the OL is thin in depth.  We all have to live with it and see what happens.

We're missing 3 starters. 3 out of 5. No NFL team is going to be able to put a good OL with that. They're all projected to be available in the short term. We'll be fine

Oh I am used to it, but I don't judge. I see it everyday in the gyms I go to, so it's normal to met: the biggest gym clientele demographically is obese males in their 50's (as well as seniors who are retired and have lots of free time, often getting a free membership due to their Medicare health plans).

 

And no worries, you will always be a-ok in my book @Augie!

 

[BTW, on an off-note, speaking of seniors, they are the biggest clientele I have seen in the casinos where I live, which is contrary to what the casinos advertise (at least from what I have seen), showing younger or middle-aged attractive non-overweight white males and glamorously dressed white females. Asians are also a big demographic, so much so some casinos have Asian gaming sections are Asians hosts fluent in Mandarin or Cantonese. Sorry to get off-topic, but I just found it interesting who they advertise in their print and television media is different from most of their clientele.]

You are both right, of course. I might add the criticisms of BMI are mainly because it doesn't take into account body fat percentage or body fat distribution (as well as frame size and sex), including the medical profession. If your BMI is 25.0, my medical offices put an exclamation point or point after the weight, as well as but it it red, lol. But women are less at risk because of a slightly higher BMI since their excess weight is often not around their critical abdominal area. And as you mentioned, BMI is a bad indicator for some athletes, including strength athletes like body builders, powerlifters, and strongmen, with very muscular builds. There are also some minor exceptions, like if you have lost lots of weight and have 10-20 lb. of loose skin (flab) hanging, or if you have kyphosis (like a hunchback), where your height should be calculated along your curve, not linearly.

 

Some publications like The Washington Post, have even asked the question is BMI racist, since being heavier is more common and even expected in some cultures. I don't agree with that. But the article did also mention that the normal weight BMI cut-off point of 25.0 of normal weight into overweight, and 30.0 for overweight into obese is just because they people who designed the tables preferred round numbers in multiples of 5's. There is no reason why 25.0 per se makes you overweight, other than they just designated the tables that way. It probably could just as well be 24.5 or 25.5 or 26.0 or whatever. Not sure what a good number is to choose.

My BMI is 27.9, categorized as overweight. I am 6’5” and 235 pounds… not overweight at all….

Thats not what I said though.  I said its amusing to watch people complain about something like the defense during the season...then complain about them going out and making it better.  

 

And you know full well you have done your share of posts here complaining about the defense, pass rush, etc.  

 

 

Has anyone complained about adding Von Miller?    Everyone knows that the pass rush unit that Brandon Beane has built here since 2017 has been very disappointing.

 

The question is whether it was really wise to pay 3 OTHER free agent DL starting quality money.......mostly run D first guys.........and then draft a CB in round 1 and a cover LB in round 3 when they had arguably the best secondary and back 7 coverage until in the NFL already?

 

They did A LOT more than address the pass rush on defense this offseason.

 

Of offense they signed a veteran in Saffold who missed 5 games worth of snaps with a chronic shoulder injury last season to replace Daryl Williams(who had played every snap of the season).   Every other veteran addition by the Bills on offense was just an injury flyer discount.

It's all good. Sometimes have to read it twice. Still like his updates for the Bills.

Those who have been to camp - Are the Bills running any type of modified Oklahoma drills such as this one that the Titans are running?
