I stick up for Sully a lot, but even I am rolling my eyes at this one. Sully, I guess you're just bored? Marcell's past issues aren't nothing, but he's going to get a similar contract, if not a bigger one.

look at the emotion!

of course they go with the pathetic fade route

!@#$ everybody. We're going 14-2.

stretching has no effect on ligaments because they are not connected to muscles. I think you're talking About tendons. Ligaments connect bone to bone. They are not ever stretched intentionally.

i think you're right. Football is rife with roids and this is a consequence. I also think tiger was on them. These guys have way too much to gain and the testing is a complete joke.

ps...i know they're not hitting every day....but there is plenty of hitting over a 3 week stretch of camp. live practice against another team is foolish. but the NFL whores these guys out to do it, so they do it.

in my idea of how things should be, we'd have had 2 games by now ...1 after the each of the first 2 weeks of camp. then week 3 you're getting ready for a real game. they can take all that other time and use it at other points of the year to install their offense and whatever....use it for things other than live practice. they don't need 6 weeks to get ready for a 16 game season. it's overkill and the players pay the price.

Not valid? if camp had been done after 2 preseason games we'd not be doing this!

you would! Seriously, as long as it is a level playing field, what difference does it make? You don't think the players would welcome an extra 2 weeks of OTAs if they could cut that much off preseason? We are talking about taking 2-3 weeks worth of collisions out of a sport where the number of collisions is positively correllated with brain damage, chronic orthopedic difficulties and early death. So tell me again, why do we need 6 weeks of preseason?

when are the dopes who run this sport going to shorten the preseason/camp part of the season so players can get some relief from all these unnecessary injuries. The entire training camp/preseason should be three weeks tops. it's so ridiculous...these guys are training like crazy all year round anyway...they're plenty fit , and all we're doing is mowing guys down. is the piddling amount of money they make on preseason games worth more than all the destruction to the talent? we couldn't cut it to two preseason games and have a better product?

ah I see. Well I can see that it could be a hernia, but a "sports hernia" is a different beast. Sports hernia is a small ab muscle tear that in itself is not debilitating, but result is: all the muscles that criss cross on the pelvis over tighten to provide stability where it is lacking due to the initial muscle tear. This over-tightening of the other muscles is what friggin hurts. It takes a long time to develop though... My case over two months between the initial tear and the point at which I gave up and went to the doc. In fact if it would t have been for a co-worker who got his diagnosis after a year of shuffling around the gym (we were teaching p.e. At the time) I would certainly have suffered with it for much longer. This guy limped around for almost 2 years before getting a proper diagnosis. We both wound up being fixed by the same doc who did donovan mcnabb.

What exactly points to a sports hernia? Did you have one? They don't come on quickly at all. The come on gradually. There is never any point at which you're writhing in pain and need to taken to the hospital. It's an nagging pain that worsens over a matter of weeks. I had one. I felt the acute tear in my ab muscle that I thought was a little pull. I was able to train on it for for 2 months. And I even ran a 1/2 marathon on it only 2 seconds off my lifetime best....and then a month later a marathon within 3 1/2 minutes of my PR. But by that point it hurt like hell. i bet ANYTHING it was not that.

Panties are definitely wadding up around the league. That's how you know Rex is onto something here. I assume these were discussed elsewhere, but still... http://nypost.com/2015/08/14/rex-ryans-villain-collection-could-have-colossal-backfire/ http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/myers-rex-crossed-line-grabbing-player-punched-geno-article-1.2326804 When people are crying that you're not playing nice enough, you're probably doing something right. I don't have the link, but the NY writer who wrote last week that Geno got punched basically because Rex was a bad coach last year...I'm sure a lot of you guys saw that. Just laughable.

OR MAYBE SOME FANS ARE JUST QUICK TO GET BUTTHURT WHEN THE WRITERS AREN'T HOMERS AND POLLYANNAS. no, it couldn't be that...

EXACTLY

so if he's not on the roster to start the season, will you be starting threads blaming the media for EJs demise? 100% correct.

i'm not getting involved in stopping anyone's woodie. you do what you want.

1. I am first in line to stick up for media guys and I think their observations generally more astute because of the things they see/hear that we dont. But I disagree with Vic. And really, screw "PR." That's something for sportswriters to worry about, I guess. 2. It seems pretty clear that he runs the offense better so far. 3. it seems pretty clear that Taylor is 2nd best, so far. It cracks me up that fans are still offended that media professionals report what they see regarding EJ. Utter hilarity that some allege an "anti-EJ agenda." 4. not really sticking his neck out...but isn't that what most would say? sure they can get better, but there is no reason to predict this will be an explosive offense. 5. wtf do i care what a guy who calls himself "booger" thinks of Marcel Dareus???

thanks and thank goodness.

Yeah let's not go there. I can forgive a lot, but not knocking out a defenseless woman. That video is revolting.

Not crazy to think a guy from a mid-major (I guess that's what you'd cal LA tech?) would need a year to blossom. He costs nothing and he has had a good camp. His highlights from college are pretty damn good so we have absolutely nothing to lose by signing him. I can't believe anyone is worked up about it. You would expect it from media guys, but fans? all these "risky" moves live and die on Rex Ryan's ability to lead, so we'll know pretty early what kind of coach he's going to be. Some guys can turn talented misfits into a cohesive unit....madden and Flores did in Oakland and bbellicheat has been doing it for years. Now that Rex is on the same page with his personnel poeple ( like Whaley has a choice, ha!)we will hopefully see the same thing here. Hopefully!

i love it. Rex is turning the bills into the crazy kid on your street who you thought better of messing with. how long has it been? i was on a team where the captain was a bad actor, until the coach couldn't ignore it anymore and let him go. the kid kicked and screamed and went berserk, but you know what shut him up? not one guy on the team stuck up for him. that's how you know. welcome to Buffalo, IK.

hey, i have an idea...there should have SIX pre-season games!

i just can't. he seems a lot smarter when i don't listen to his interviews.
