Dwayne Haskins killed [Edit: struck by vehicle]
BillsShredder83 replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall
Redundant to mention this at this point, but lawyers know no shame. Good grief. Suing the driver is loooooow. Even if it was a straight up suicide that guy will never get hired as a trucker, due to insurance knowing of a fatality, even if completely not at fault. So the lawyers now want go take $$ from him after losing his career 🤢🤢🤢 -
Deshaun Watson Taking Cheap Shots From Eagles At Joint Practice
BillsShredder83 replied to Rico's topic in The Stadium Wall
wish this was true. article headline made it sound like Eagles were serving up some street justice to he who not be named..... but honestly it ended up sounding like it was just a very chippy practice all around. still nice to have live bullets flying around him, but headline was a bit click baity -
100% this. He's literally the first person I think of when I think about the '99 Cup run. Game 1 OT "JASON WOOLEY, SHOT HEARD ROUND THE WORLD!!!" I was a very young Buffalo sports fan by then, but that run radicalized my sports Fandom. Not a sad day for me, celebration of the biggest Buffalo sports voice of my childhood!!! (Lil too young for Van Miller)

Bills practice Thurs 8/17 starting with McD interview
BillsShredder83 replied to Beck Water's topic in The Stadium Wall
What I'm most confused on, for so many reasons, is why we would just openly declare Williams won't start? Such a weird thing to do. Even if it's 100% sure, why announce it? Seems demotivating to me, leave the carrots dangling at minimum -
Patrick Queen: Would you trade a late rounder for him?
BillsShredder83 replied to Rigotz's topic in The Stadium Wall
If we're making a trade I would much rather seek OL depth. If he didn't play for LSU and Baltimore, ppl would be calling him a bust. -

Anybody know? Shakir was known to have great hands coming out of the draft wasnt he? I know, so did Zay, but i think context matters. Is this a flukey baseball cold streak type things with his hands, or is there a fundamental problem with his catching a la Gabe Clappy Davis? -
Bills practice Thurs 8/17 starting with McD interview
BillsShredder83 replied to Beck Water's topic in The Stadium Wall
Hartys contract tells me he is a lock, that contract also tells me theyve already wrote his skillset into playbook. Havent seen any reason to cut him. Short of his play all the sudden being disatstrous, he makes the team. Sherfield is big/physical and more NFL ready then the other big WR's, atleast for the 2023 season, and a HUGE plus for him is his blocking. Him and Gabe out on running plays is going to be very nice! As far as Shakir goes, I cant see them giving up on him this fast, especially with the positive flashes we've seen. Im far away from saying that we have an elite WR room.... but i think all these guys bring a unique skill set that compliment the team and each other. JMHO -

Great post. A good predicament to be in. Hopefully one or more of these guys flash on Josh's 1-2drives, and see heavy playing time the rest of the game. Personally i think Ateman and Patman are great guys to make practice squad. Theyre not ready to move on from Shakir barring an absolute tragic game and weeks of practice. That in mind, Isabella has the highest upside, especially when zooming in on this season. Hope they game plan him heavy and he gets a good chance to showcase his skills. If the staff can do that, theyve done their job, whether he does nothing, goes offfff, or anywhere in between. F a game plan, these are all about evaluating. If KAllen sucks, I hope theyre quick'ish to pull him for Barkeley. We cant evaluate these guys properly if the QB is abs sucking out there -
This is not at all a slam on the mods, just commentary how a story like this naturally works. Thread has been moved to off the wall, as even the book writer says there was no real money, and his share is in a trust. Looks pretty certain the family is going to be cleared on this. Yet if you threw a poll up on the main page about, Are The Tuoys a Greedy Family........ there would be a sizeable amount of yes responses. It's a microcosm of how these stories work right here. Amplify this over the entire country and we probably have somewhere between 30-50% of the country who now believe this family is scum.... a family who did an absolutely selfless good deed and showered a broken kid with love. It grinds me gears

48hrs later and its looking a lot like Oher was given awful advice. In the mean time the family has been dragged for taking in a homeless kid, feeding him, loving him, helping him get into school. opening your home up to a stranger is no small deal. theyve been called crooks and white saviors and all sorts of nasty ****. like always, the headline will be their lasting impression by a large chunk of the public when it comes out the family did no wrong. it'll be a quick blurb, no apologizing and the accusation will stick for many. unreal levels of ungratefulness, all around. no apologies or retractions from anyone. cant help but wonder if white foster parents dont give pause to adopting anyone thats not white because of the odd 'white savior' stigma. of course plenty of folks will take in foster kids anyways, but somewhere down the line i see even one (more?) black kid not being adopted out of fear of the label. unreal
-
To an extent, even when he does have the time, do you think it's him knowing the lines track record and expecting to have to get out of dodge, before that first read. Regardless it is a scheme problem to me. If Josh isn't confident he'll be clean till his first read opens, seems like they need to set up something quicker developing.
-
This seems like a well thought out study, but it's too long to read and I can't buy into it. Out of the gate, it's going to effect what personnel the defense puts out. Any study that starts off by ignoring the effect of a linebacker vs extra DB on the field, is incredibly flawed. Add in variables like audibles at the line, and there's already 2 too many variables to give this study credibility.... but that's just me.... and well, 32 franchises entire histories lol
-
I think there are a lot of explanations for this, a lot or it indirectly being caused by lack of run game. I think we addressed this with Harris and Murray. Bulking up the OL. At the same time Josh had some very uncharacteristic turnovers from there (Maybe they weren't all inside the 3, but a few were). I stand by i think Josh was concussed in GB game on the play at goal line his head snapped back. Add the UCL thing almost immediately after that. I think we go back to being an awesome red zone team.

Honestly I feel bad for the dude. Sounds like someone tried to convince him there was a lot of money there, and there isn't. Any lawyer worth his salt doesn't put out this much info, unless it's all true. They're even going to look at the dates for the trust. If the acct is freshly opened and a lump sum dropped in there, he'd be setting the family up to get roasted in the media, which is likely a bigger concern then the $$ As far as the conservatorship, doesn't sound like the family ever controlled his NFL $$. He bought a $1.4m house in 2014, and Ohers lawyer woulda blasted them If they were keeping his money from him or taking anything. So conservatorship sounds like it's in name only. It absolutely makes sense that keeping this title in place was an emotional sentiment. His tie into the family as being one of them. Why go through a legal divorce of sorts if that's the case? If he'd wanted out he could've asked or we woulda heard news that he was fighting his way out of it, a la Spears. This whole thing sucks for all parties. Would be shocked of anything malicious comes out, at all, more than happy to admit it here of it does.

Id be feeling silly right about now if i was calling these people scum and "white saviors". Dislike that term anyways, its a lose lose assumption. So rich people have a chance to help a kid in a bad situation out, and don't, what do we call that? If they do step in, take a kid off the streets, theyre "white saviors". Thats a really crappy label to throw around for any reason at all. Even if it turns out these people took advantage of him, that label doesnt make sense when theres things like "fraudsters" and "con-artists" out there. What good is coming from using that crappy label? A white person should give pause before helping out someone different looking from them? People should only adopt same race kids? What a nasty, fabricated label that is to hand out

Brandon Shell Reportedly Intends to Retire

im puzzled how someone with 14k posts even asked this honestly -
Gazoo Helmets an Option For Players ???????????????
BillsShredder83 replied to Irv's topic in The Stadium Wall
Lawrence Taylor only kept his in his sock or the lockerroom -
You dont know any of that, and neither do we. Pretty wild to jump to these people being scumbags or Oher money grabbing, this early. One detail that caught my eye was saying he received no royalties (i believe that means- back end money). Could it be possible they cut him in up front, while agreeing they would take their slice of the back end money. ^^no we dont know, just something i noticed Regardless of outcome I doubt either party comes out of this with 100% blame. Experience tells me the story will be somewhere down the middle. Curious to see the families legal response.
-
People saying he must be broke and looking for money.... I know its happened, but feels unlikely. Spotrac has his career earnings at $38.5M. Dude was a starting LT. As far as the rest of the story who knows. Anybody know much conservatorships? Basically a guess here, but if he was already 18, its not out of realm of possibility they did this as opposed to legally adopting him due to age, while still doing all the leg work of taking care of him. Give them access to things like speaking to his school, Dr's, etc. I dunno, just pointing out there could very well be a logical thing to do and doesnt signal immediate malicious intent on its own.

thanks for this! great work, i was able to remember every play from your descriptions. i really mentally zoomed in on the right side of the line, thought they looked pretty damn good, thanks for filling in the gaps of left side & morse. think Ankou has any chance to make the 53? thought he looked good in spot duty last year, toughest position to crack the 53 IMO. if he manages it, its well earned! Hes referencing the 2nd tring OL being as good as last years starters. Yall are on the same page here

Jonny Manziel documentary on Netflix is great
BillsShredder83 replied to JerseyBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Didnt really start here IMO. This was the result of demand. A demand that can be almost entirely pinned to Purdue Pharma and the scumbag Sacklers. Aside from the lives lost theyre directly responsible for, they single handedly set back an entire generation of progress. A cost we all pay emotionally, and financially in a million different ways. Disgusting humans -
Jonny Manziel documentary on Netflix is great
BillsShredder83 replied to JerseyBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
I feel like he somewhat had the right idea, but didnt express it well. i thought it sounded like they did have him disciplined to an extent, sometimes good parents have kids that are just out of control.... what i wouldve liked to hear dad say is 'i wish they held him more accountable, not been enablers' which is somewhat what i think happened. we've heard how josh gordon was enabled at Baylor, it was the first thing i thought of when johnny said the 4th string qb was peeing for him. you see johnny being responsible for over a quarter billion dollars flowing in, its hard for me to believe they werent running around sweeping things under the rug. between him and freshly joining SEC, my guess is they were doing anything they could to keep the iron from cooling down. just my guess
