We are all in agreement that this was CLEARLY in the works for a while right? I haven’t read through the thread but we aren’t all naive enough to think that this Pats deal came together in 30 minutes right? FWIW, I have a good friend that works in the Falcons front office and they want it investigated. The Steelers are in the same boat.

This is EXACTLY why people should never worry about the Bills “cap troubles.” There is no such thing as cap trouble in the NFL. Sometimes you have to get a little creative but every team can get every guy that they want. The Saints mastered this concept years ago...

Don’t shoot the messenger...

CTE He was trying so hard to tell us when he decided he wanted to look like Hulk Hogan.

No doubt that he intended it to be hurtful. That’s ind of my original point though, it’s not hurtful. It would have cut much deeper if he said something like, “so that’s why your wife called me last night.” Not saying that’s happening, just that there are WAY better ways to hurt a white person than by calling them a cracker.

That would certainly be the case (although Riley Cooper got by) and it’s a double standard. The reality is the history and context that created that is so much more vile than the history and context of cracker. Racist/homophobic/anti-semetic slurs do not carry equal weight (or even close). The background defines their ugliness.

Ranch instead of blue cheese is offensive

That’s kind of what I’m getting at. If you called me fat, bald, ugly, dumb, etc... it would hurt a lot more. I’m much, much, much more sensitive about that kind of stuff than I would be “cracker.”

Am I alone in that I wouldn’t even be a little offended if someone called me a “cracker” or “honkey” or any other racist term for white people? You could say about 213,000 other things that my sensitive @$$ would be bothered more by.

Shocking!!! I was sure that Bodine was going to put on the magical Patriots jersey and automatically become Mike Webster.

He scored 67 TDs in 38 games in college!! I’m 100% in agreement. He’s the guy that will be used around the goal line.

Seattle

Under 46.5

Pounding the over

He’s still a great player. He’s just a lunatic. I’m half-joking on the Patriots comment.

Too bad that he is, “a heavy-legged-waist-bender.”

He’s going to be so good on the Patriots

Bojorquez isn’t going to be on the roster and has already been a bad holder. He did a brutal job of it last year. It should absolutely be someone else (likely Barkley).

He’s all of the above. Irsay has been in trouble primarily from the prescription drugs (like Oxy). He has also admitted to using recreational drugs. For the purpose of my joke felt like “blow” would work better than “Oxycotin” or “Vicodin.”

Nice topic @Phil The Thrill!! For me it is the Kelly TD run followed by the Lawyer Milloy game.

Oh man, does he not realize how much blow $3.2B will get him?!?

Add it to the list!! People always say that I’m irrational on Peterman. Maybe so but this is why!! People defend him as a viable option at QB when he has in fact performed WORSE than any QB with the same opportunity. It bothers me that people don’t see that. He is stealing a job from EJ, Kaep, Heinicke, Savage, Weeden, Cassel, Fales, Brock, Landry Jones, etc... Each of those guys has performed better and are out of work. You earn your job in the NFL (unless the HC of your team fell in love with you in the pre-draft process and can’t admit that he was wrong). Good for Nate for stealing a check from those guys. He doesn’t need to apologize for that but any rational, objective person knows that he hasn’t earned it with his play. He survives by being a nice guy and a lovable underdog. Every NFL egomaniac (ie Gruden) wants to prove that they are the one smart enough to fix, statistically, the worst QB ever. It’s a legacy play too.

You can’t be this naive can you? Teams do this ALL THE TIME!! The Bills did it. It’s a loophole in the CBA that every team takes advantage of. That’s not a conspiracy theory at all. It’s how teams legally work around roster limitations. This is how the Bills protected Joseph from waivers/PS.

We aren’t that naive are we? Guys get placed on IR because they don’t have a roster spot all of the time!!! The Bills did it with Vosean Joseph this year. 17 of the leagues 32 teams kept 2 QBs last year. Gruden is a moron. No team in the league needed to protect Kizer or Peterman (the two lowest rated passers in the NFL since they entered the league). Gruden went all in on Peterman pre-draft. He was obviously wrong as his 32.5 passer rating and 9.2% INT percentage both rank 356 of 356 qualifying QBs (in other words LAST). He likes Peterman the guy so he made sure that he got paid. It’s entirely possible that they reach an injury settlement and he never is active for an NFL game again. In fact, that is probably the likely outcome.
