Doc Brown

NFL Top 100 year prior to RB's signing massive extensions. Zeke Elliott - 18th Todd Gurley - 6th Dalvin Cook - 21st Le'Veon Bell - 6th (then sat out the next year) Christian McCaffrey - 6th (had one and 1/2 healthy seasons since 2020). Nick Chubb - 26th (had two good years before devastating let injury).] Henry's the one back that has defied the odds. It's a wait and see on Barkley with his new extension.

It was more that Penn State poster. When you start to get bored on a topic you try and alter the conversation with a moral debate. Can't throw stones on you for that.

Tasker's in on signing him long term now.

To be fair this whole thing somehow turned into a somewhat interesting discussion of whether a victim was entitled to all the punitive damages (money) in a civil suit like this. It's such a ridiculously obvious answer but I enjoyed hearing the idiotic alternatives.

ESPN has him ranked 8th in the NFL FWIW. No mention of him being abhorrent at pass blocking. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45589580/ranking-nfl-top-10-running-backs-2025-execs-coaches-scouts-make-their-picks-best-rushers 8. James Cook, Buffalo Bills Highest ranking: 4 | Lowest ranking: unranked Age: 25 | Last year's ranking: honorable mention Cook entered the top 10 after a 16-touchdown season in 2024, vaulting from honorable mention to No. 8 and pushing Taylor for the seventh spot. He's now tied with O.J. Simpson (1975) for the most rushing touchdowns in a single season in Bills history. Cook's 3.1 yards per rush before contact was the fifth-highest mark of any qualifying back. "Dangerous and explosive," an NFL personnel executive said. Added an AFC exec: "He's perfect for that offense, with a quarterback that spreads things out. He's good in the passing game, catches the ball really well, good in open space. Not sure he's elite yet, but he's really, really good." He's averaging 222 carries per season as the starter, and some teams are curious about how he would hold up as a 300-carry No. 1 back at 5-foot-11 and 190 pounds. But either way, he has earned league wide respect at a time when he's seeking a contract extension from Buffalo.

New here?

Agreed.

There's some states that have a split-recovery statue for the money awarded to the plaintiff in punitive damages. The plaintiff gets a certain amount and the rest is given to the state who allegedly gives it to a charity.

Never like that is it cheapened the record. If sacks were counted before 1982 Deacon Jones would have the record with 26 sacks in 1967 (in 14 games).

It's like writing a book report without even reading the cliff notes though. You caught enough grief though and that's usually the first conclusion people automatically jump too so I get it.

I saw that at the Angola Theatre on Friday Night. Loved it so much I went back on Saturday night. Then attended the Sunday matinee. My god has it been that long.

Carl Winslow is the oldest 35 year old of all time.

Yeah. Once he lost Holcomb and Losman throwing him the football his career went downhill fast.

Who knows. Gilmore and Cooper at this point I'm guessing are waiting an injury to earn as much as possible. Claypool's agent are pry talking to teams right now. Just not sure how many.

Depends on his options. If another team gives him a better shot to make the roster he'll go there. Coleman, Shakir, Samuel, and Palmer are pry locks based on their contracts or draft investment in Coleman's case. There's nothing in Elijah Moore's contract that guarantees he has a spot locked down come this fall so maybe Claypool could push him for that WR5 spot.

Good write up. Adrian Peterson has four 1st team All Pros and three 2nd team All Pros. Josh would have to at least win another MVP (or multiple 1st or 2nd team all pros) and win a Super Bowl at minimum to catch him imo..

Just looked it up. I was wrong. His rookie season he only had 873 yards. 860 the next. He'd fit right in with our WR room after all.

If he made our team he'd be the only Bills WR that went for over 900 yards before in a season. What's the downside?

I didn’t know about the social media part of it. Thanks. I read the civil suit and it was hard to stomach.

It's unclear at this time. The Lexington police said they didn't have a record of the incident. The Fayette County's sheriff department replied with no comment. Any documentation of a policy, hospital, or university report the accuser and her attorney do have they can't provide because certain information must be kept confidential.

There was only one event. On the civil lawsuit it said she filed a police report shortly after it happened and the police sent her to the hospital for a "SANE" exam. The other statement was Kentucky's official statement after being asked to comment.

Any Trubisky truthers at the time? You'd have to be equally critical of every other team in the league who either passed on him or didn't trade up for him unless they already had an elite QB on the roster. I was still on the old board at that point but I'll take your word for being on the Mahomes train. What really spins my head is if the Bills did select Mahomes and then fired Whaley it would be even weirder than when he was actually fired. If Beane was GM when McDermott was hired, would he have showed the same aggressiveness in getting Mahomes that he did in getting Allen? I think just moving up to draft Allen by default makes it his best year as GM here. There wasn't any other off-season that stood out to me as just a stellar job across the board. Getting a 2nd for Watkins (not popular with the fan base), a 3rd for Tyrod, and trading Glenn to move from #21 to #12 in the draft were all good moves considering McDermott just had to get the luckiest 9-7 record of all time in 2017 so we needed as much ammo as possible to trade up for a QB. No disagreement with the awfulness of the free agency draft class though. I struggle with the Edmunds pick because I loved the prospect but I hate moving up in the first round for anybody but a QB.

She called the police shortly after the incident and went to the hospital to take a sexual assault exam. That's all we know about it. The university left a public statement yesterday. In a statement, Dani Jaffe with University of Kentucky Public Relations reports that, following a Title IX investigation into the 2021 sexual assault, Hairston "was not found responsible for violation of university policy. The university is not a party to this lawsuit and therefore cannot comment on it. However, sexual assault allegations are thoroughly investigated and can involve police, Title IX, student conduct officials and other legal entities. If and when charges are warranted, or if a student is found to have violated our Code of Student Conduct, such charges and disciplinary measures are filed and pursued aggressively to protect our students."

Why would you file a civil suit if the defendant didn't have any money? It's perfectly logical that if she was assaulted that any adequate restitution would have to involve the other party having what you deem worthy of adequate restitution in the form of money. I don't know any of these individuals personally so jumping to a conclusion to defend either person is foolhardy at this point.

The NFL also invited him to the draft now that I think about it. I get what you're saying though. I don't know the extent of the Bills investigation. Were they even allowed to talk to the girl that's currently filing the suit?
