It’s more of a “living document” that is intended to be played with, I think. I just looked up Hopkins career earnings which appear to be just north of $111 Million. I won’t judge anyone else by how they handle their money, but if it’s me I try to get close on money, but pick a good place to finish my career. A place I’d be happy. Now, I can just hope to be presented such a dilemma and see how I actually decide. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/deandre-hopkins-12307/cash-earnings/

We don’t have to sit in the whiners room with the folks who didn’t make it. That’s worth something. 😋 OH! AND…….if you are IN the playoffs, your chances of winning a SB go WAY up! I checked the math, and that is true. You need the stars to align, but with a few good bounces along the way we have a team that CAN win it all. I like being in the running most years over taking huge swings and missing. I liked getting Von last year, but the ball bounced the wrong way. It happens.

I can almost laugh about it now, but what happened to our DB’s last year was just ridiculous!

Keeping Gabe would mean we don’t have a prolonged drop off should something happen to Diggs or DHop that lingers. Some of the new guys might be great, but I don’t want to NEED them to step up. There’s a lot at stake. If we don’t get DHop, as I’ve come to expect, then we just roll with what we’ve got and hope for the best.

He might be onto something! There are some posters around here who think McD is one bad stretch away from being on the hot seat! I suppose that is good for entertainment value.

I’m a tad concerned about how you came to know that, but I’ll leave that one unasked. 🤷‍♂️ I’m not a jersey guy in football, and I’m not an NBA guy at all. I loved it back when we had the Braves in town, but now I won’t even watch the Finals. We used to take the kids to NBA games when we were traveling as a bribe to be good. One Tuesday night in Charlotte my AAU PG of a son turns to me and says “They’re not even trying!” Very true, and I’m glad he noticed. I love college hoops though! They give everything they’ve got every game.

I hope he has attended the offseason Dawson Knox Advanced School of Catching. That, and maybe watching Kincaid catch everything thrown in his direction will help. As I’ve said on numerous occasions I expect Gabe Davis to have a solid year, even if he gets fewer reps if we were to sign DHop. I can live with losing him because he does so well we can no longer afford him. That likely means he had a good year personally which could mean all kinds of great things for the team!

But we sure did have a strong showing on the IR list! Might these be related? Hmmmmm…..we might be on to something!

We will have zero games relocated due to snow. I feel pretty good about that one, but not really as good as I should.

You are entitled to your opinion, but just remember that that’s exactly what it is. Nothing more. We got no pressure on the QB after we lost Von. Our back ups were not good enough, that was clear.

I am 100% on Team Beane here, I want to build something that will last over time.

Our season changed on Thanksgiving Day when Von tore his ACL. I’m not throwing out scenarios to jinx anyone, but a lot can happen in a single game, or practice for that matter. IF we have DHop we are better prepared for when something goes wrong. Because it will at some point.

Well, we can only hope those deals sting them deeply and prevents buying new toys for them.

I have a friend In Ottawa who will be VERY relieved to hear this!

I think party lines on the phone attached to the kitchen wall is the official line to be crossed. That will get some people off the hook here. EDIT: I’m still concerning some. If you never used an abacus in school, you make the cut. Everybody happy? 😋 .

And that is just HIS closet!

Well, I hope that doesn’t hurt much. 🤷‍♂️

I don’t have one, so I can’t add anything specific. But I have to say that sounds like a centerpiece for great times with great friends. Few things are better than fun than a big old cookout with family and friends! Cooking out at the lake cottage with the right people sounds awesome!

That is not how it works. At all. There are no guarantees. What if you slightly improve your odds? Does that still make it worth it? What if he gets hurt, like Von? You pick your big swings carefully, then live with the results. Oh, and ignore the hindsight specialist fans who knew better all along.

That is AMAZING! Something interesting happened in baseball??? 😋

I had that exact thought, but you beat me to it. Strangely, he might “contribute” more in KC, but “mean” more to the Bills.

Should we have a secret handshake? Nahhh, why bother?

Yep, we have a lot of unknowns in the WR room. Let’s see those guys get a chance. We know all we need to know about Diggs. There will be time later to fine tune. I have no problem with his absence.

No, that was an earlier flick named Bears on Apathy. Easy to get the two confused.

Have you seen Bears On Coke? I bet they could wreck an offense!
