I’d be much more apt to buy that if he was not going 156 mph. but I’ve made the argument that the drunk part only effects my judgment so much compared to the horribly reckless driving. Killing someone while 30(? 40?) over the speed limit should negate manslaughter and kick to a murder charge. that aside, I do get the point you are making on DUI and have often waffled on how to handle punishment of both run of the mill guys getting caught at a sobriety check point with no single victim vs a .11 driver that has a weird fluke accident vs a .22 that had no idea what was happening when they got in the car in the first place and wakes up to discover the horror.

here’s where I see the challenge… you are likely expecting him to lock in a bit cheaper now. I do not forecast him to be remotely affordable today. what numbers are you envisioning, John?

additionally, supply chain for recovery will be monumentally more challenging than most US disaster recoveries. Along with temp shelter for locals and rebuilders. just a ton of challenges associated with this devastation

Its all about common vs rare body types in a lot of these discussions. a lot more humans exist that are quite athletic at 5’10-6’2 and 180-220 lbs than there are at 6’4 and 300 lbs. Once you get past the elite WR/CB/RB the drop off from mediocre nfl talent to being out of the league is pretty minimal so most teams value the time in their own system. Our 8th WR and the 8th elsewhere are generally pretty similar so unless you have an absolutely dire need for a specific skill set, you may as well roll with the guy that knows your play calls and quarterback already.

Though the bills might have an inclination and consider it if the news is good. I don’t think we see anything major though. Swinging a future cut for a 7 next year is fine but honestly is more a cure for boredom than true value acquisition. It’s bending over to pick up the discarded lotto ticket and check the numbers. No real work but might land a few bucks here and there.

possibly a controversial take but in this specific case I don’t really care his BAC. He was doing 156 on surface streets. He should get 3-10 it he doesn’t even hit someone at all, yet alone actually causing a death. he’s so far outside the realm of reasonable that on some primal level I’d want to be harder on him for being sober and doing it than being hammered. long story short - frustrating to see the issues with the collection but practically just as frustrating that it even makes a difference.

I suspect he had parameters in place on a few contingencies across a handful of guys

Pick 2 vs pick 11 gives one a distinct advantage in potential to be the bigger bust

Who are they and what standing do they hold in the community? without context it’s akin to citing a single random tweet as newsworthy content

Yea, it’s tough. There are a lot of guys that can get some highlights in camp at wr that aren’t elite nfl guys. They are all top tier college pass catchers and obviously there is amazing competency in playing catch at that tier of talent. doing it on Sunday in January in double coverage at playoff intensity is much different I think sherfield will be a good contributor but I’m not expecting him to substantially change the quality of player he has been.

If you gave Josh Tom Brady’s wheels, I’m not sure what he would be as a qb today… but he does not have them and is an excellent qb

yea, I mean if it’s the Tom Brady week one acl I’m fine with you being our qb and putting Tim graham at center If he gets put in concussion protocol for one drive in the Super Bowl I hope we find away to secure Patrick mahomes as our backup. it’s all relative, right?

I am not opposed to athletes having opinions but this is one where they’ve made it easy to not feel terribly sympathetic and at times crossed into actively unlikable representatives of their country. the level of investment is high, their quality of life is still excellent. They are entertainers compensated based on the revenues their show brings in. They need to find ways to grow their pie, and not eat off someone else’s plate more than anything else. That’s not to say it’s perfect as is, but the gap between their current status and a relatively fair arrangement is much smaller than several of their stars portray.

yup. You’d have to be a masochist, not a sports enthusiast, to sign up for the job. low pay, weekday games can conflict with standard work schedules by the time you bake in commutes and prep… even if you are excellent you are shredded by folks that barely understand the rules. sign me up for literally anything else.

the bills played nickel defense on 91% of defensive snaps in 2020. declaring 3 lbs were starters may not be that meaningful.

the Instagram video probably paid for the entire simulator set up. so I think it’s that he’s making the most of his opportunities and you don’t understand his opportunities as far as the different wiring

there’s also a reality that it could be messaging to light a fire in camp, not a real demotion consideration but who knows

that would be quite the long shot though to the topic of phillips… good energy. Feels like a solid “glue” guy for the units attitude. That said, without a solid MLB behind him, his freelancing and pass rushing May either be reigned in or be more likely to be exploited. He’s one I’m curious to see this year. I like him but we might not be protecting his weaknesses to allow him to play to his strength… but we will see how we scheme that up

we have missed the boat on a world class WNBA franchise. I am not sure that will be received how he expects.

there’s no question that he’s the best with the ball in his hands so the only way he’s not RB1 is if he’s awful without it. That said, it’s obviously some committee

when we aren’t a blue collar running team why is it thought that we need a workhorse back?

Honestly, when we talk where the team got better/worse — james cook is one of my excitements the only thing to grapple with is how limited the run game should be with a franchise qb. I think the kids got real explosive potential though. He pops.

I mean early playoff loss in his post implies pretty good but flawed not “one of the worst teams in the league”

counter- talents of damars level are not difficult to acquire so you kind of go with the best player today, knowing there are plenty of long term options at the level of the one you move on from.

I do think the bills PR team might could possibly be floating the story out through back channels to soften the blow should it happen seeing it in a few places this week leaves me curious, though it could be organic
