Is there any mechanism for the Browns to get their draft picks back or get out of this contract? I would hope not, because they knew exactly what they were doing, down to the detail of structuring the deal so that it wouldn't end up costing Watson much of anything if he missed an entire year. Hard to argue that they were "taken aback" by all this. I would hope Lamar Jackson is saying to the Ravens that he'll take the Watson deal plus 10%. The idea that Watson, of all people, got such an outrageously large totally guaranteed contract is sick.

Have you ever tried to stay awake for an entire baseball game? It aint easy.

This is a great point as well. When you are doing something you are truly passionate about it becomes part of who you are, and you are (in a sense) never "at work" or "off work" but always on to one degree or another because it's just part of your life and being, which skews hours per week stats. Part of that is that it is hard work but doesn't feel like work, if that makes any sense. If we're awake we're doing something. These guys are just focused on that one thing, whereas someone else might work 8 hours, go home, mow the lawn, go to the store, watch TV. These guys just work on football. Either way, your mind is engaged in something, whether productive or not.

If the Browns void his contract they will have given the Texans all those picks, took all the bad press, and have no QB and no draft picks

Agreed.. Big Mike takes 10-6 team and makes it 8-8.

Belichick, Reid and Harbaugh aren't a bad top 3, but after that it gets goofy, IMO By the time Belichick and Reid retire they could be #1 and #2 all-time in career wins.

The problem with anyone defending Watson claiming people are just after his money or whatever is that you don't see it happening with other high profile players. There's a lot of big name NFL players who make a lot of $$ that you can't find anyone who will say anything negative about them off the field, much less something like Watson's accusations.

These "camps" and "universities" seem to have a tremendous impact in a short period of time. Makes you wonder what they are doing that the actual position coaches league-wide aren't.

Wilson's new contract will be interesting, since he's asking for 5 years, $250 million. It will be more like 5 years, 249,997,000

In addition to his gross behavior, if he is suspended for this year then by the time he plays in 2023 it will have been almost 3 years since his last game. Who knows if he'll even be any good on the field. It's not implausible that almost 3 calendar years of not playing will make him less effective. Then, you've got an average QB with that ridiculous contract who is also radioactive in terms of PR.

Bills vs. Chargers in the AFC Title Game this year is my prediction, so I go with the Chargers as strongest foe. Ravens will also be very good. Last year their entire team was hammered by injuries before the season even got going. Then Lamar got hurt as well. Browns are the AFC's version of the Cowboys. If the NFL were like the college system the Cowboys and Browns would be voted into the 4 team playoff every year.

regardless of nicknames the Bills are the true America's team... Red, white and blue uniforms and a team that football fans love to watch with a fanbase that is a character in and of itself

this video makes New England fans unhappy, therefore I like it

Not Phillips! Don't tease me by bringing back my favorite recent DT then just letting him go because "all he does is destroy the QB" at 340+ pounds! Yeah he flattened Tom Brady like a pancake 3-4 times but did he tackle Fornette in the hole on 3rd and long?

A senior/celebrity league that's only 7 on 7 flag football but still a real competition would be much more interesting. Still have FG and XP so kickers could possible showcase their skills. Retired NFL players along with current/retired athletes and other well-known whoevers playing flag football where they really want to win. Also opens the door to female athletes playing, which could help expand the sport. League opens each year with coaches picking their teams in a giant draft. Some players are known, some surprises. Make it a big TV event. There seems to be an endless appetite for competition shows and for sports. It's perfect. Injury risk is lower without tackling or smashing heads on the OL/DL and there's plenty of potential for fantasy leagues and betting still.

Your QB still looks like a Pop Warner player

Is London limping?

Edge linemen (OL and DL) are great picks. Expensive and hard to find good ones

Which one used the bell sound effect when the pick is in just before the commissioner announces it? Watching the draft without that is just not the same.

I know that Aaron Rodgers is going to be all upset tonight by when the Packers pick a CB and a LB with their 1st round picks and ignore their offense yet again.

I didn't see that they were looking at domes, that's interesting... Then again, "looking at" is a lot different from following through. For example, Washington was "looking at" team names that would actually be popular with the fans and weren't lame!

Since you asked my advice, I never ask when I want to talk about Tremaine Edmunds. I just start talking about Tremaine Edmunds. Life gets pretty interesting when you do that.

I'm not a fan at all of Bills Thanksgiving games... Noon is a total killer. At least for the night game we could leave after dinner and be home to enjoy. Family hates having football on during the holiday, some start ranting about politics and it just becomes impossible to watch the game at all (if they'll even allow it on)

Well, you do 100% own your home immediately. Your home is also collateral for a personal loan that you took out to buy it. Bank: I'll lend you the money to make the purchase (which you make and own 100%) but that purchase is my security if you don't repay me based on the terms we agree to. In this case the security is a printing press that spits out hundreds of millions of dollars, so it's more of an investment for anyone loaning an NFL owner money. Hopefully they can design the stadium in such a way as to cut down on the wind. Maybe it's the WNYer in me, but a December afternoon when it's in the mid 40's and no wind (which the no wind part if rare near the stadium) with the smell of grills going and maybe a campfire in the distance is a beautiful late fall/early winter day. Totally comfortable. Throw on a bills hoodie and grab a beer and enjoy!

I have a crazy theory: you'll see MORE open air NFL stadiums going forward and fewer roofed venues, except in places where the heat/cold is truly unbearable. The cost of these stadiums is getting so stupid, and outdoor football is generally a better looking and more interesting product on TV, which is where the money is. For all of the reputation for snow and wind, WNY is really not that extreme of a climate. Winter doesn't really start until January around here. Just as an example, in December 2021 the low temperature in Orchard Park, NY only dropped below 32 degrees (and that would be in the middle of the night, like 4-5 AM) a handful of times. The average high was 44 degrees for December, with a bunch of days in the high 40's and low 50's. In December! It was 50 degrees on Christmas, and that's not so unusual these days. So you wear a coat and you're fine as a fan. For players it's even less of an issue. Anyone who does physical work outdoors knows that mid-40 degrees is actually nice weather to do certain jobs that absolutely suck when it's sunny and hot. Wind is more the issue where the stadium is, so hopefully they find a way to cut that down. A gameday in the mid 40's with a covered seating area for fans where the wind is blocked is going to be quite comfortable. Snow games are actually few and far between for the Bills, which is why they are so memorable when they happen. Just ask anyone who owns a snowmobile in WNY: they use their sleds for like 3-4 weeks in late January/February and that's about it. And IF there's a "weather event" snowstorm game? Ratings bonanza for the NFL! How is that a negative for the powers that be? Domes are dull, boring, and suck the life out of the atmosphere.
