MiltonWaddams Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 I think what impresses me most about @Einsteinis how a CEO of a multi million dollar company could possibly spend this much time online in a workday. He truly must be incredible at his job. How else could he achieve such splendid multitasking? 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t see/read the exact wording, but I think he was excused in arrears as I mentioned. That was probably a bone to say it didn’t cost him a$16k fine, or whatever it was. What is with you trying to be right and/or prove others wrong? Life is not always black and white. They worked it out, I’m glad they made progress.

Wow if he is a CEO then I am the real JP Losman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you forgot, but I posted that McD is lying and YOU responded and attempted to correct me and say he is not.

Beck Water Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 27 minutes ago, GoBills808 said: Yup Altho he'd be higher in total targets if we had played 17 games Regardless he's targeted a ton True, on the 17 game thing. Kelce and Lamb both played 17 games, so I guess on a "targets per game" thing he'd be #4. Actually all the guys ahead of Diggs in targets played 17 games last season. Which brings up an interesting point. Both Jefferson and Adams play >90% of the snaps: 92% for Jefferson, 95% for Adams. Tyreek Hill, 3rd in targets, plays 76% of the snaps. Diggs similar, 77%. Lamb plays 10% more snaps, 87%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed83HOF Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 2 minutes ago, Beck Water said: Well, the basis is McDermott saying so as quoted here. Indirect evidence would be Diggs showing up and participating in Day 2. But 1) of course, if one wants to work from the premise that McDermott is lying in everything he says, then sure, there's not much basis 2) if it's an interpersonal issue, these things have the tendency to re-emerge because people may commit to changing whatever it is, but don't follow through or don't follow through consistently, or they reflect underlying issues so they pop up in a different form I don't like the term "lying". Yesterday McD was pissed, today was the typical PR game. We had such a good conversation and great communication that we felt we all needed a break and some space, so I excused him and we met back later. They disagreed, argued, it got heated and either McD told him to leave or Diggs stormed out. Based off of the presser and what was being said yesterday, I'm leaning towards Stef storming out; hence Sean being very concerned. I'm sure calls from Beane to the agent, players to Stef and beane and McD talking happened, he came back and they found a common ground to move forward, that doesn't equal cool. Today Sean's job was to get the toothpaste back in the tube and to do a mea culpa publicly for yesterday. This is the agreed way forward by all parties. It doesn't make it cool or resolve a darn thing. Sean is always talking in coachspeak, and yesterday was the devation out of frustration. JMO at this point... 22 minutes ago, Royale with Cheese said: It’s probably not cool after one day but being that Diggs showed up, its a step in a positive direction. I found this...

Wouldnt that mean you are always trying to be right more so than I??? I won’t keep this up, but YOU are the guy here with the most posts, BY FAR. I look at this situation and think this is how you would have expected it to turn out. It’s pretty simple, really. I now expect them to move on like pros. Caveat: Because you are so obsessed with being correct (at least in your mind) and proving others wrong……ANYTHING might happen going forward. They may blow up again. And I don’t have to be right or wrong about any of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may not like the word "lie" but that's completely what McDermott did today. You don't like that idea because you idolize the Bills, so you very creatively invent a story in your mind to explain why the lie wasn't really a lie. Congratulations. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
