Wasn’t voting closed weeks ago? It seems weird that the odds are changing again now.

If you want to donate why go through gofundme and not directly to the cause? This person might have the best intentions but this feels super scammy. “Don’t donate to charity. Donate to me and I’ll totally give it to them for you I swear.” https://www.breakthrought1d.org

I’m pretty sure it’s because if nobody claims him his contract is void and he can sign a new contract with anyone and play. If he’s claimed on waivers the team claims his current contract and he wasn’t activated from IR before the deadline so he’s not eligible to play.

The original article also had the sentence: “If this works, then stats really are for losers, I guess.” It was never about “maybe Allen will be a statistical outlier and succeed after all.” The entire narrative around that draft was the new analytics models vs the old dinosaurs of the NFL who draft players because they are tall. https://web.archive.org/web/20200111020229/https://www.barstoolsports.com/draft_josh_allen/ https://sites.psu.edu/nealondiscussion/2018/09/21/the-satire-of-josh-allen-is-tall/ It was all over draft coverage that year and the people who wanted to draw attention to predictive analytics planted their flag in the ground on Josh Allen being a bust from the start and anyone who thought he would succeed didn’t really understand the sport.

It’s obvious it was changed because it was a smug headline that made them look bad. It’s not just that they were wrong or that they predicted he was a long shot it was that they were dancing on the grave of his career before it even started.

4 first round picks or equivalent combination of picks and prospects.

By the rules of the league and the way it’s been called all year it does mean the ball was going forward.

Calling his bluff.

THE NEW YORK BILLS of buffalo

Yeah, if he's frustrated by St. Louis not buying him a new stadium Toronto's not going to be any more ideal. I imagine Rogers Centre is a worse venue than the stadium they have too.

Lynch has nothing to do with Bryce Brown, but he was on his 2nd strike at that point wasn't he? And he had played himself out of the starting job and pretty clearly didn't want to be here. RBs don't get traded for much on good terms. What should they have gotten for him?

Seven pages and a lot of hand-wringing over a guy was inactive 10 out of a possible 17 games here.

And nothing of value was lost.

I doubt the team is going to do anything to draw attention to it at all today.

LOL. Freedom doesn't enter into it. This happened on stadium property. People camping out there are guests. It's a huge liability concern for the team and the county. Imagine if he'd turned the gun on other people first. I can't imagine the team wants to have to address this the morning of their home opener.

Horrible and tragic and nobody gets to criticize the Pegulas if they decide to build a new stadium somewhere without tailgating as we know it.

I mean even if a small portion of each fanbase stops watching (only when their team isn't playing though of course) there are still millions of people watching who are fans of the other team, fans of the Patriots, who are just fans of the sport, or who have fantasy teams. So let's say you get your hundred people and Tim Graham or somebody comes calling to write a story about it what do you say the endgame is? Ideally what would you like to accomplish?

Seems pretty pansy-ish to only boycott the games your team isn't playing in. If you really want to make a statement stop watching, reading, commenting and spending money on the NFL altogether. That'll show 'em.

This seems to be the same thing that Rex has been saying anytime he's asked. They are hopeful he'll be back but it's not a sure thing. Not sure why people are surprised or incredulous now.

There's no way they go through this day, call a press conference basically just to talk about it only to sign him again a few weeks later. It was reported that they never even tried to get him to take a paycut so his salary by itself wasn't the problem. He's gone.

Maybe because it only exists in your head?
