It was Kyle Orton. He was all but retired at that point, self-preservation was his approach.

This sucks. I’m going to the game next week, really wanted to see Allen in person. Here’s to hoping the defense puts out another stellar performance, Singletary comes back, and we run all day long against the Titans.

I’m beyond tired of dealing with tropical driven anything. Me and my family finally decided to relocate. There’s “events” to deal with everywhere, but a hurricane I’d rather just leave alone. Prayers for those in the path.

? All great points. I’ll relay to my better half by simply stating that the struggle is real.

My wife comes in....We have all boys (younger ones at that). She’s tired of finding remnants of said boys missing their target when going number one. So, she says....”That’s it, you guys are going to have to sit when you pee.” I look at my boy and say, “Nah, men stand when they pee. Except Tom Brady. He definitely sits when he pees. You’re not going to sit, just aim small and you won’t miss.” My wife’s face said it all. Like, you have got to be kidding me. I guess the tie in is Tom Brady.

That's not the point I was referring to.

I'm all for second chances, redemption, the guys that can turn a troubled past into being a good inllfluence/productive member of society. That said, elite athletes do NOT have to live up to a higher standard. For the players that get in trouble, many are given the chance to redeem themselves. Take a normal college kid, add significant legal trouble, and you'll see a large number of opportunities closed.

Sort of....I'm a north shore guy. I mostly just get off the causeway and towards the CBD.

The good thing though is that the traffic is only bad twice a day. Once it pushes through, it's a straight shot.

Plenty of Bills fans that live in the NOLA area.

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/05/01/report-superdome-to-undergo-450-million-renovation/ The Saints reached a deal for renovations on their stadium, the deal will afford the Saints a home through 2035, $450 million total ($150 by the Saints).

Great writeup from a knowledgeable guy. I really like the non-filtered, non-skewed delivery and approach.

Shannon Sharpe played college at Savannah State. Teams draft on the projection of what a player is capable of accomplishing. Sharpe's college performance was against lower level competition, but he projected well enough to get drafted (in the 7th round). Rarely does a 7th round TE draft pick work in a team's favor. Sharpe is the extreme exception. You can't base expectations on rare instances. The draft is not an exact science, that said.....The Bills FO felt the need to grab a guy at a position that fits what they want to do on offense. They see value in Knox. Of course, we all hope it works out!

Makes sense....Wait, no it doesn't. He's in the Hall of Fame.

True. But you weren't scouted and drafted by the Bills.

He played for a program on probation, his QBs constantly changed, he converted from QB to TE, and he had other talented receivers that attracted plenty of attention from whatever QB was tossing the ball. It's good to draft guys on what they "can" do, and not just rely on what they "have" done.

The Raiders picks are a big head scratcher. I do like the Josh Jacobs pick, they only had Richard as a RB.

Good enough for me.....I'm sold. Get DK.

Exactly. We got our guy without giving up anything! I've never been so excited for a Raiders and Giants pick.

Not that far north....North Shore outside of New Orleans.

Who plays him first?

I live on the North Shore. It's all good man.

Barksdale AFB is located near Shreveport. Here's a quick reference to individauls from the city, plenty of recognizable names. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_from_Shreveport,_Louisiana

All accurate.
