  1. lol...........Holy crap get that boy some antibiotics and soothing gel cream.
  2. I thought I was very clear. The Pats should trade Brady to any team willing to give the Pats a 1st round pick for every Super Bowl win he delivers for new team. Why? Because he is the best and is a lock to deliver. Why limit your return to just one #1 pick. Get all you can get.
  3. Why stop there? If as everyone knows Brady is the GOAT and will make you a Super Bowl favorite if you go to team like Jax KC etc etc...... Then you offer Pats nothing but conditional 1st round picks. 1 1st round pick for every Super Bowl win he delivers to new team. Money in the bank for Pats. They would do it today. Right? We all know he will win them. No brainer for Pats. Right?
  4. I don't believe the whole truth ever seen the light of day. It sounded like they ran the Love Triangle End Around. Not clear if it ran before or after Russ Wilson tweeted how he thought "50 Shades of Gray" was a great film. A strange tweet by a devout Christian to be sure and he never denied it or backtracked. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/russell-wilson-50-shades-of-grey-a-great-movie-fan-backlash-ensues/
  5. It would be a complete fail if refs did not give Brady's new team the same golden offensive line holding treatment. Same with the pick plays and Gronk's signature push off plays etc etc.... Brady would be hurt within 4 games.
  6. If i could give any advice that anyone would care to follow that would make their career and life in public a greater joy than it possibly could be it would be this: cancel the Twitter account, Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook, and any other social media where people can troll you and bait you into irrational emotion driven responses. You will be much more happy and fans will love you. Kevin D, Westbrook, even the Mannings, LeBron, McCoy, insert any name, etc etc....they all look ridiculous responding to teenage level talking points and going back and forth on petty feuds. They make media Whore King Brett Favre look like a caveman in comparison. Oh and PS: hire a driver for roundtrips every time you go out to any party etc etc.........
  7. Those headaches are not going to treat themselves.
  8. yeah really. If you want a bottle of wawa where else do you go but to wawa.
  9. lol... If you had LeBron sending passes your way you would get those 2 pts back in a hurry.
  10. Just like BIG BEN was a hair breath away from retiring after 2017 season, then played 2018, so: HE SHOULD BE RETIRED NOW for sure, YES?
  11. Maybe, but he can give a lot of good football advice, and life advice also etc etc. Rodgers has endured a lot of media speculation and negativity with his estrangement from his family etc etc........
  12. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2012/7/15/3160664/buffalo-bills-lease-agreement http://buffalonews.com/2014/04/12/under-lease-court-could-bar-any-new-owner-from-moving-buffalo-bills/ Ralph likely did not resist in the end, which is obvious as they signed the lease, but much more likely due to Litteman was given a bone to save his golden parachute nest egg. The 28 mill loophole escape clause at 7 years. Quote from Coach Tuesday: You are 100% right, I know someone who sat at the table during those negotiations and believe me, the Bills had the State and County over a barrel and Littman treated the entire set of discussions as if he were negotiating for his retirement parachute (which he was). And without revealing too much information, you are spot-on that the State was the one trying to ensure the Bills remained in Buffalo (and had a long-term stadium) during those discussions, not Ralph. end quote. If you refuse to believe the truth so be it. Most of the rest of us are going with the facts. County and Gov of NY insisted on this clause.
  13. Why would it not be weird for Brady also.??? The guy was mostly a b/u in his college career, would not have played at all if Michigan could recruit an avg QB talent during that period, had the worst ever measurables at the combine,(watching him run the cone drill was beyond painful) invented Dad Body term before it was a thing, was so slow there is still a guy holding a stop watch at combine waiting for him to finish, had a weak arm, could not scramble, and passed no eye test saying he should be a good NFL QB. And as you said had zero expectations. He should have been happy he was drafted at all and extra happy BB drafted him to sit behind Bledsoe. Yeah he scored 33 on the wonderlick but has done numerous stupid things in his life mainly involving cheating in sports, not to mention lifestyle, dumping a pregnant girlfriend, his slimy health consultant, openly lying, water cures his concussions he supposedly never had, etc etc........to call into question the accuracy of that test for anything you can use to predict future actions.
  14. Very well said SoTier. FYI: for the record: my comment of "revisionist thinking" referred to how many on here think Ralph saved the Bills after his death by insisting on the inclusion of the $400 mill penalty in lease. That thinking is patently 100% not true. County and State insisted on that and Ralph and Bills wanted nothing to do with it. Look no further than the 28 mill loophole coming up in 2020 as more proof of Litteman and Ralph thinking.
  15. Thanks for the sarcasm. I like that. Go to a high end steak restaurant like Mike Ditka's and try to buy a steak meal for two for $100.00 Then try to buy that same meal with $50.00 You will be at a McDonalds drive thru before the waiter brings the water while your friends eat well at Ditka's.
  16. no Pitt and KC never self restricted themselves like Ralph did. They never applied all money spent yearly(regardless if it amortized in forward years like sign bonus)to cap limit like Bills did. For most it would not matter as most teams bring forward money not spent to cap in year 1 and bring it to yr 2 and regardless spend it eventually in the future. Bills did not do this during the "cash to crap" period. Ralph just pocketed the profit and started at zero the next year again. Yes the cap floor is all money spent in a given year to appease NFLPU thinking they are holding back cash to player salaries on any given year. None of that matters now as all money is brought forward onto the next year that was not spent the last year. So it all gets to the players eventually. Bills, Bengals, and Browns, did not forward the money and just pocketed the profit. This led to the salary cap floor instituted.
  17. tyrod: Hey AJ, could you point me to the middle of the field you speak of? And WTH I thought you where 3" taller than me. What up?? AJ: camera angles man.
  18. They did not employ the talent restricting "cash to cap policy" like Ralph and Bills did. Only teams that did employ it inadvertently were the misers in Cincinnati and Cleveland. If you remember that is why NFL instituted a floor for salary cap spending. Mainly due to Bengal's frugal ways.
  19. He killed any chance of providing a winning team for over a decade with his "cash to crap policy"
  20. Man people. Stop with this revisionist theory thinking. Ralph and Bills had to be convinced and pushed into including any clause in last lease Ralph signed to make it moderately more difficult to move the team. One can only wonder how much better the original poison pill was presented by the county before Ralph reluctantly agreed to what he agreed to. Since Litteman and a few others involved owned 1% of the team that Ralph gave them that no one knew about , they had a conflict of interest and likely were thinking about the better return they would get if they had no poison pill. Ralph wanted to maximize the sale and that was his only motivation. If it was not he would have come up with the poison pill not the other way around. The pill would have also been bigger and would not have provided for the 28 mill buy out at 7 years coming up in 2020. I will find the links and post when I find them. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2012/7/15/3160664/buffalo-bills-lease-agreement I can not find the article where Erie Co commis Poloncarz commented it was County who insisted on the poison pill and Bills initially had wanted nothing to do with it. It never came up until county demanded it.
  21. The sys was a failure as it never worked as intended. Teams like the Cheats circumvented it by playing every loophole available. Signing guys who are cut. Offering options and then cutting them. Doing the dirty to Blount.....that no other team would have avoided scathing media excoriation for that behavior. but since it is BB and Cheats they are geniuses for using every means possible. Comp picks did not compensate the way it was intended and so it is a failure. Good teams circumvented the premise and got the bulk of the comp picks. FA NFL players suffered. If all teams did what Cheats and some others did I would think NFLPU would have initiated a lawsuit. Owners who pushed for comp picks sys failed to realize bad teams are going to sign more FA as they "you know" try to get better, then reducing comp picks. While good teams reap the artificail benefits of bs comp picks and salary cap savings of not signing too many FA's.
  22. Yeah you are right. I just tried that and I got 24 of 33 right. Could not get past low 30 questions. I went in blind on internet and did no research so have not studied how to do the wonderlick, so did very very poor when I did not know it was timed. Scores very low. Properly preparing and taking this test and understanding the rules and I would do OK. As the other poster stated any good agent could help the NFL guy do this test and get an OK score. Lamar Jackson likely had no guidance except his mother. (and went in blind like dumb ass me) I had you guys....thanks buds.....
  23. I hear ya however the on line tests do not let you go back. and yes timed tests apparently are not my forte in the manner/form like these wonderlick tests. Probably internet problem also. If it was like a real test I could skip the questions that take more time and FLY through the ones that I can answer on a dime. I could then return and answer the harder more involved ones. I would then answer many many more questions. 12 min for 50 questions is about 14 sec per question avg and is not reasonable in my book. It takes a few sec to read the question and a few to read the answers. I would bet most if not all testers in NFL do not get to 50 questions. They just fly through and answer the ones they know immediately. Then go back to harder ones. Internet does not let you do that. Internet tests do not let you go back. Maybe the real tests are on paper and you sit at a desk. Then I would do well as that is more normal testing. Or at least normal when I was in school. Many of the questions I had were math and I did not use a calculator or paper/pen so that is slower also. Not sure if calculator is allowed.
  24. It is a goofy test. I just tried taking 4 of them on line and they all timed out. I never got past 15 questions or so out of the 50 they wanted to ask. It seems you are limited to 12 minutes. I get most questions right but score bad as I don't get too far. No NFL QB brain in my head I guess. On IQ tests online I score super high. Weirdly high. Disturbingly high as no one can be that smart and I know I am not an Einstein. I do well as I am a good expert test taker, know a little about a lot of subjects, have a great memory, and for some unknown reason retain all sorts of useless trivial knowledge. But they also do not have a time limit.
