The first thing I thought of when I read this thread title was, “yeah, Tony Saprano died a few years ago”.
RIP, coach.

The opener. Hope springs eternal.

They paid too high a price to draft him ( a 2nd and two fourths) and then gave him away too cheap...
That is a typical Buffalo Bills story...
So, you are saying they should have kept him even though he didn’t fit the scheme?
Interesting.

So all the other student athletes, toiling away in the weight room, at practice, risking injury, traveling during Break, and competing in their sports at the NCAA level while still going to class, etc. get what exactly?
A free education.
If the players are not starters should they pay full tuition?
What, exactly, are colleges getting out of bench warmers?

That will never happen, but it should.
So, draft kids out of high school?
Imagine the bust rate of that. LOL

The CBA doesn't supersede labor law related to wrongful termination. Or civil law related to loss of employment and damage to reputation.
Whether the NFL would ultimately prevail in such suits is really secondary. A long, drawn out civil action would generate a lot of negative PR for a group of owners who are already skittish over the kneeling issue. They would much rather make this go away quietly...
Wrongful termination? In the NFL?
????
Sorry, but when a CBA is agreed upon between an employer and a Union, especially language that is crystal clear, no court is going to step in the way.
If the NFL was violating the NFLPA’s rights, it would have ended up in court in the past few years.
Guess what? The only case that did was Brady’s and guess who won?
You simply don’t understand what collective bargaining means.

To date, that's been true.
But at some point, the NFL's going to be drug into court, where the justice system will likely neuter some of that power...
Nope.
That’s a CBA issue.

Secure--as in locked in the basement.
Yeah, for the rest of time, right?
Why don’t you buy the team and fix its ills?

Why wouldn't they have adjusted his net worth figures for 10 years, but have done so with the other billionaires?
They weren't this bad with Golisano.
They also weren’t this secure in Buffalo w/ Golisano. Things will work out.

Wouldn't the Sabres benefit from an owner with more at stake financially?
Like Golisano and Rigas?

We have no idea if he is guilty or innocent. It isn’t about that.
Let the evidence, or lack thereof, determine his fate. Right now there seems to be suspicion only.

He is being that.
A requirement to actually be enshrined should be having to show up and giving an appropriate acceptance speech.....unless that enshrinee is ill, dead, etc.

How about you show us the misuse of funds that you insist is happening?
Misuse and waste are two separate things, son.
Waste.

Whether you agree with funds being used for social justice is up to you, but that is not something the NFL would have done if not for the protests.
Nothing.
It has just lined the pockets of some idiots.
Show me the”social justice” taking place.

They can't even survive with replacement refs.
In a way they're enhancing the impact of the protest.
Impact of what?
Please explain what exactly the kneelers have accomplished for society.

it's a BS thing that people made up that because these guys are exercising their 1A rights, that they're ungrateful, whiny, and consider themselves oppressed.
Can they excercise their 2nd amendment rights while on the field as well?
Take your right to do whatever you want and throw it out the window when it comes to the workplace.

You see he didn't address your question.......he merely asked you two more questions. Haha.
As far as the Browns are concerned, the move to get Taylor and then draft Mayfield was wise. If things work according to plan, Taylor will give them stability at QB, he won't lose games for them....all the while, Mayfield can sit and learn a bit. As difficult as the QB position is, how often do we see teams throw the rookie into the fire and watch them burn. It happens quite a bit in the NFL these days. IMO, the Browns are going to be much improved this year and they could possibly go .500. If Jackson plays his cards right, he can get Mayfield some reps along the way just to see how he reacts.
I don't care who the rookie QB is.....if he can sit, watch, learn and get some reps his first year, that's the best way to do it. Personally, I don't think any of the rookie QB's in this class could step in and have smooth sailing. The position is THAT difficult.
The Browns are going to go .500 when they are still the worst team in their division?
OK.

Having lived with a partially torn ACL for several years (before completely tearing it away) I would just comment that so long as what remains is structurally holding things in place, it doesn't really affect you. Also, some people can live normal, active lives (like downhill skiing active) with no ACL anymore, just because of how they are built.
So I don't really know what to make of the 85% torn claim as it relates to what his performance would have otherwise been if not torn at all. It strikes me that it might not have been any different.
This is true.
I haven’t had an ACL in my right knee since 1987.
I am still an active person. Obviously not on a professional athlete’s scale but, none the less, I have been very active for the past 31 years with no side effects.

Schobel is the only guy.
Some others on that list that I would consider actually played in a Bills playoff game.
So, drought-wise, Schobel is it.

I still think it was a five minute stretch in London that doomed him with Bills fans.
He wasn’t as horrible as the legend goes but those five minutes may have been the worst for a QB in Bills history.

Feels like a creative way to criticize the drafting of Allen.
