  1. Maybe the Bills have shown clear progress and the Sabres GM prefers golf.
  2. That's a stretch. It's not even a modern helmet on that guy. If they are going to get sued it will be the Rams long before this. The secondary ones would be Bills, Pats and Titans who all changed from stationary logos to logos with forward motion directed at the other team. Correct. I made a list in the first post. IMO we are one of three teams in group 2. To be clear though the deep pockets are the league, not any individual team. The NFL says it wants to cut down on helmet to helmet contact but then trots the Rams out there? That doesn't make sense.
  3. The Bengals just have stripes. The Lion, while lunging forward, was marginal but made the list. I can't really make the case that the Bengals helmet encourages head shots but their old helmet certainly didn't.
  4. Correct. I made a list in the first post. None are as over the top as the Rams but the Bills made the list.
  5. There is no implied motion on the Colts helmet like there is in some other helmets including ours. I guess it could be debated one way or the other but the Rams is blatant.
  6. A mascot is a mascot, I get it. In sports, some of these have violent imagery like Raptors or Sabres, some don't like Jazz or White Sox. That's all good. But the Rams are an animal with one go to move. Head to head contact with a big windup. The teams helmet doubles down on this.
  7. Have you seen the head shots? Josh got knocked for a loop. The defender often turns their head down at the last moment just like....a ram. The other factor is that so many games are televised and these guys have probably all watched Ram games.
  8. Our QB has a concussion and obviously the problem is way bigger than just one player. The NFL acts like it cares and we all complain about the lack of penalties, or excessive penalties, or selective enforcement but take a step back and look at the big picture. I think any lawyer worth his salt could put the NFL in serious jeopardy w.r.t. their attitude towards concussions and leading with the head. How? The Los Angeles Rams. Look at their helmet. I'm not sure if everyone has seen nature shows about actual Rams but those things slam their heads together at an alarming rate of speed. How can the NFL reconcile the Rams helmet, which clearly encourages leading with the helmet with their supposed concern for player safety. You could make a case that some other helmets give the illusion of forward motion but the Rams is BLATANT. Don't be surprised if this ends up in a case somewhere. Other, lesser culprits could be seen in the helmets of the: Pats, Bills, Chiefs, Titans, Jags, Eagles, Vikings, Lions, Bucs, Panthers, and Seahawks.
  9. Wondering if you guys think planet 9 could actually be a primordial black hole. The math seems to support it as a possibility. Thoughts?
  10. Outtakes aren't the only thing on the cutting room floor.
  11. Kevin Bacon did it. Soon = 12th
  12. It's just one game but it was well played and crisp. Vesey missed the empty net.
  13. Oh for the love of God if they do that.
  14. I'm rooting for them too but honestly if we get through the season without Eichel asking for a trade it will be a victory. Botts displayed zero sense of urgency at any point in the off season.
  15. Do they still have the post trade deadline thing where a guy has to clear waivers? The Yankees use that all the time.
  16. Whichever one was the last one.
  17. I heard she challenged Mittlestadt to a pull-up contest.
  18. The time draws Near............... iboo
  19. I'd rather have Don Sutton than Sanders.
  20. Devastating and heartbreaking. My prayers to them.
  21. On a positive note, Botts got in a lot of golf this Summer during all the time he was ignoring the roster.
  22. Trent Edwards was drafted because Bill Walsh was playing a practical joke on Marv and gave him praise. Edwards sucked before during and after his concussion.
  23. Dr. Manhattan vs. The Zombies. Coming to a theatre near you.
