That's No Moon

In my head there is a posse chasing him...with lights and sirens on the horses.

Also, FWIW, some people made a silly amount of money on the US team not winning gold in team gymnastics. USA was -650 to win on the money line

It would be like Brady coming out in the pregame warmup, throwing a couple bad passes and then saying to everyone "I'm just not feeling it today boys, you'll be better off with the backup in there, I hafta focus on myself right now. Good luck!" I feel bad for the girls on the team who are going to be asked about this now FOREVER and they are going to have to pretend to be OK with the silver they brought home because if they show even in the slightest that they are pissed they got quit on they are going to get thrown under the bus.

Oddly there were no mental health issues when she accepted all the endorsement money. Funny how that works out. Agreed, you are either having a problem or you aren't and the person who finished 4th in individual qualifying is blocked out by the 2 per country rule even though she qualified 4th best in the world. If Biles doesn't compete that girl gets to.

He needs to play and he's got 2 years left. If he plays well the next two years he will get a chance somewhere. Nathan Peterman is STILL an NFL quarterback. What this should be is a cautionary tale to high school kids looking at schools. It's nice that these big name schools want you in their program. Who else are they bringing in to compete with you? Who else are you going to be stuck behind? Is is better to go to North Dakota State (who has had TWO top 5 QBs chosen in recent history) or Wyoming or UNLV and definitely play and get a chance to showcase yourself or risk bouncing around programs like this. Well, that's more UGA folks being butthurt that he left. I didn't hear anything leading up to this draft. It was sort of like Terelle Pryor. Nobody was pissed that he decommitted from Penn State to go to OSU, except Penn State fans. I'm not saying he's not a large part of this issue, but to make it sound like he's been in college for 9 years and will finish as a 30 year old isn't accurate.

He didn't either. Committing isn't enrolling. In 2012 he committed to UW while he was still in high school. It was a verbal non-binding commit because you can't formally commit as a freshman in high school. Then in 2015 changed that commit while he was a junior in high school, then changed it a final time in 2016 for the formal commit to Ohio State. That sort of thing happens all the time, maybe not three times, but it's why you have to take all these verbal commitments you hear about with a giant grain of salt. They don't mean anything to either side. The kid can change his mind and the school can revoke their verbal offer. Paperwork isn't signed until senior year. So then he goes to Ohio State as a freshman in 2017 and redshirts, again, normal, especially at a strong program. Fine. 2018 he plays as a redshirt freshman, that's eligibility year number 1. 2019 he figures out he is stuck behind people and isn't going to see the field so he transfers and plays as a redshirt sophomore, eligibility year 2 done. 2020 he opts out like a lot of people and the NCAA decides not to ding anyone with a year of eligibility. 2021 he is told again that he isn't going to play so he transfers to UNLV, this will be eligibility year #3. He has this year and next left so at a max it would be 6 years. Think of the COVID year as an injury year where he applied to the NCAA for an extra year of eligibility and got it, that happens not infrequently also. So he will start college in 2017 and finish in 2023. Granted, not standard, but it's not 9 years. He will be 25 when he finishes. Yes that's old for a football player to finish school, NCAA hockey players are FREQUENTLY 24 when they finish school because they spend a year or two playing junior hockey after high school, either in the US or in the lower Canadian leagues, before they enroll in college and nobody gives those kids crap because it's the "normal" path to NCAA hockey. The kid is obviously there to play football. Fine, whatever. He needs to be able to play and if transferring gets him an opportunity to play then so be it. Especially as a quarterback. Only one will play and schools collect top recruits at that position every year. Lots of those kids end up transferring out either because they are told they won't play, their scholarship gets revoked because they no longer fit into the school's plans, or both. I concede that this is a bit more than what is normal but I don't remember a lot of people giving Justin Fields grief recently for decommitting from Penn State to Georgia then transferring to Ohio State when he didn't win the Georgia job and then leaving Ohio State early to go to the NFL. It's not different, it just worked out for Fields and didn't work out for this other kid.

She did an interview where she said she wasn't hurt but wasn't feeling it mentally and needed to focus on herself. http://www.espn.com/video/clip?id=31897392

It's at 51:30 of the video. Buffalo had just taken a 10-3 lead. Miami tried to fumble us the kickoff but got lucky and covered it, then Hansen made that play on 1st down. The Bills kicked a FG on the ensuing drive to go up 13-3. This wasn't a pretty game, lots of mistakes by both teams. The outcome was nice though 🙂

Yes, but I think there might be some higher paid players who aren't on the team by then which changes that math. For example, Boettger can be traded or released and you add 2M of cap space with no dead cap. IMO, one of the guards is going to go among Feliciano, Boettger, Lamp, and Ford. Boettger is the one that gives you the greatest cap benefit with zero penalty so he's going to have to significantly out play the other options or I think they could trade him. Feliciano would carry a net cap hit by releasing him so he will need to stink on ice to be the odd-man out. It's a similar deal with Davis Webb and Fromm. Davis Webb has no dead money if he's released, Fromm does. I don't think all of them stay so if it's a toss up between them that could be a factor. A small one, but a factor nonetheless.

You are correct. There used to be in order to activate your pension, they recently stopped doing that.

I'll take my chances.

Well retiring is sort of like bankruptcy. You can say it, but saying doesn't mean anything, you have to actually file paperwork so Aaron Rodgers can say anything he wants out loud, until he files paperwork he's not retired.

Don't go to Pat's anyway. Or Geno's for that matter. Way better steaks in town.

I know that, but that's not the context in which I saw him so I didn't count it that way. I also met Ed Rutkowski but not as a Bill.

Met Kelly at a promotional event at Anchor Marine. He was nice enough but I was 8 or 9 years old and he was a god at the time so I don't think it really would have mattered if he wasn't. Also ran into Kent Hull buying long underwear for hunting at a store by Eastern Hills Mall. He was super cool. Also ran into Kevin Knox at the Boulevard Mall but I think I was the only one who recognized him and he got a little spooked once other people started paying attention. Also ran into Glenn Parker at a Sabres game. Ran into Bill Polian at the airport one time when I was again about 8 or 9, he was nice. I know they aren't Bills but I was also on a plane with Marv Albert and Paul McGuire immediately after the Bills Dolphins game right before Christmas in 1990. We went to the game, drove straight to the airport, changed out of longjohns at the airport and got on the plane to Chicago (we were going to LA to see my aunt, I dunno where Marv and Paul were going)

Holy hell. It's good to be good.

He's running for office in Texas when he retires. Mark it down.

Have the Bills ever covered a TE? Ever? It's like they don't know they exist. They've never had a good one and they've never covered anyone else's either.

If someone does that on a plane I'm on duct tape is going to be the least of their problems. I'll take my chances with a jury of my peers.

I'm waiting for the one who get killed while taking a selfie with a shark.

Agreed. He plays teams also.
