  1. I do not believe you can run faster with the ball in your hands as you have one less full arm swing. All things being equal. I have personally run down guys running with the ball who are faster then me running as fast as they can and I gain on them because I can swing hard with out holding a ball. A lot of times it happens when a defender has a better angle but not always. I don't refute your post. The X factors here are current real time game fatigue, conditioning, competitive urge, player trying to outrun a defender, adrenaline pumping, game excitement etc etc...… then you will run faster. But I bet those defenders having the same factors also run faster then normal. Very interesting.
  2. pronounced as a word is completely subjective and a different argument from how you started this saying: "Acronyms make a word (like NASA), initialisms just use the initials and don't make any word out of it. Just sayin'. " For sake of discourse, pronounced as a word does not make it a word. And choice of what acronym is pronounced as a word or not is again very subjective. EX: why is NASA a word and CIA is not?? You could pronounce it "see-ah" then it is a word? but if you say C I A as is normal by users then it is an initialism? And who says pronouncing it as "see-ah" makes it a word? And clearly NASA pronounced like a word NA-SA is not a word. Same with CIA and others. Maybe this friendly discussion of this loses context as we are printing instead of talking the words etc etc….. not to open up a new "can of worms" or "COW" for those keeping track at home.(which actually fits the definition of an acronym as it actually is a word if pronounced like a word) but dictionary says NASA is a noun and is an abbreviation. I guess if you would have just said "Acronyms are initialisms pronounced like a word and initialisms are a grouped set of first letters of an abbreviation where you call out each letter when pronouncing" we would have never started down this weird road. I apologize in advance for all this rhetoric. I, and others, should have caught what you meant from the start. We whiffed. But this is interesting. I learned a few things today. Thanks.
  3. I would sign Jim and then trade him even up for his brother John from Ravens.
  4. NASA ?......is a word?...lol
  5. that is same thing.
  6. WTH *****. This injury report is an estimation?? Made up BS. WTH. Why are the Bills colors taking on an orange hue? It is like those nightmare late 80's early 90's cheap Bills gear that was in every store and gas station convenience store in Buffalo area with a clothes rack every time I visited. They had those cheap knockoffs from wherever and had those weird light colored royal and light colored red.
  7. yeah I think I got it. McD is so far ahead of the curve waiting for D to be allowed to be played in an artificially created offensive NFL, he could fall off the edge of flat earth if he is not careful.
  8. most Hotels have free shuttles to airports and back so not weird to expect a downtown shuttle for a NFL game trip.
  9. Super Glue = Super Bowl I see what you did there. Nice...…..lol
  10. so she's an ass too??
  11. true, and yes, however, the odds of those long odds hitting two years in a row for a Bills team that wins the odds about every 18(I know the drought was technically 17) years are clearly "against all odds"
  12. So they would become the conservative Cleveland Brown-rice.
  13. No not exactly. Back when they wore this the NFL was celebrating its 75th year anniversary in 94 season and all teams were strongly encouraged to make and wear throwbacks for one home and one away game designated by the home teams. They did not have the one helmet rule at that time. Ralph was too cheap to spend for new white helmets and opted for this fiasco of the red with white standing bison. http://nfluniforms.blogspot.com/2011/07/throwback-helmet-evolution.html Jets also went the cheap route. a year earlier celebrating 25th anniversary of Super Bowl win then came to their senses long enough to do a white throwback in 94. Bills wore this on Monday night vs Denver and on the road against Oilers in Houston. They won both games by the way. It was the 1st year after the 4 Super Bowl run, so Bad luck uni. in my memory.
  14. Because NFL does not allow for any other helmet than the prime for fit concussion safety reason per NFL. Since the prime is white they are limited to changing decals only on that white helmet. My solution is to wrap the white helmet in red and do the 90's. Then remove the wrap for next game. Simple.
  15. Just for sake of argument. Lets say DA really does not want to play significant NFL minutes anymore and subject himself to more head trauma/body trauma at the end of his career. It would be easy to answer the concussion protocol questions in a way to look like he is not recovered. Hell, all he would have to say is he feels dizzy every time he runs or jogs and has memory issues...headaches etc. etc....…...that would keep him in the protocol for the rest of the season and he would keep getting paid. He was forearmed to the head and the back of his head hit the turf. Also hit the back of his head on the turf a play of two just prior to that forearm aided hit. Easiest way to get a concussion is the back of the head hitting. lol... I think it is common knowledge that if a QB signs with Buffalo it is presumed he has some degree of brain damage.
  16. I would mail him a cubic zirconia in aluminum setting replica...…….lol semantics maybe, but a very good point nonetheless.
  17. on a positive note he didn't play the "Super Bowl" card, or the "Championship" card. Those are older than Bill Bellycheck's gameday wardrobe.
  18. Big reason Packers lost was missing the red flag challenge on a clear incompletion.(not to mention the punt on 4th and 4 with only 1 TO left) That would be enough for me to consider firing a head coach. If you can't get something this easy right, how can you be trusted to get anything right? How hard is it to have someone in the booth watching replays and tell him to throw red flag on the headset. He looked like Rex(and a little like Sean McD) screwing those up all the time.
  19. Bell is in Pittsburgh. Ben is in Pittsburgh. He should have just driven over and said hello and...……….what's up. and when one of them is an off duty police office.
  20. getting called up the a MLB club roster is gold in this day and age. One day on a MLB roster and you get a lifetime of free healthcare. https://benefitsbclp.com/major-league-baseball-pension-and-healthcare-benefits/ 41 days and you q for a pension.
  21. By rule can only enforce and mark yards off for one so the other two by rule must be declined. Refs let the team choose which penalty they wish to accept so they can decide which one helps them the most. Like decline off sides and accept the long PI. Weird part is by declining them it is like they never happened. They are wiped off the stat sheet. They should all count as a penalty even if they are not accepted.
  22. lol...……...Thanks Teddy Bruschi…….. I'll take the #1 rated NFL D with a guy like T Edmunds as the weakest link...………....….all day.
  23. He went to a workout in season with the Browns. You don't go workout for a team if you have no interest signing with them...……. easy. Mahomes.
  24. This is getting more screwed up than a Stormy Daniels presser pre and after party. Everyone seems to think this new loophole is money for Bell. And he and his agents are geniuses for figuring this all out at the 11th hour. I have not heard anything conclusive on this new interpretation of the cba. IE: that this year counts if he does not show up and receive the salary and next year would be 3rd tag. And that third tag is top five in NFL vs top RB and salary from this year is no factor. DOES ANYONE REALLY KNOW? Also no conclusive proof his 3rd tag would be calculated from the money he made this year (which would be zero if he does not report) or the contract available(which he did not sign and refused forfeited) Or that he could be transition tagged for salary of 20% bump from this year(which again is not clear if it is money actually earned or money he was offered if he had accepted the tender) This is all going to arbitration and then courts and Bell could be held up playing next year waiting for it to all play out. Maybe, but likely it is fast tracked to prevent NFL liability if Bell is delayed earning an income next year.
  25. well...…..we finally found the genesis and origin of "the process"...…...interesting it started as "criteria and process" and nicely evolved into just "the process". this is like when early man found the monolith. nice find.
