The system is definitely imperfect. And I agree racial history with the LAPD played a role.

The phrase “not guilty” in a criminal trial is confusing and many don’t know what it actually means because those two words seems to indicate innocent. It needs more context, specifically that you are required to assume the defendant is innocent unless the prosecution shows enough evidence to confirm they are guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. In OJs case I think the jury decided reasonable doubt was that the police were raciat and could have planted the evidence. The evidence was damning but they were able to show blood was missing or unaccounted for and it could have been used to plant evidence.

Opt out of what?

Which ones?

I would remove the word "total" in the title....its not just random events. Draft picks are like lottery tickets, I think that is a good analogy. But your chances of hitting on a 100 million dollar hit are way better based on the draft position, especially at the top of the first. You can find a HOFer type anywhere, that is a fact but statistically they come from top 10 picks overwhelmingly more often than after that. Why dont teams just collect picks all the time? 1. You might have a deep roster and you know some of those lottery tickets take time to develop. You dont have a spot on your roster to wait to see if the pick develops 2. Other teams have to want to give you more picks for your pick(s) or for players. It's not just a grocery store you go buy stuff, it takes two. There are a set finite number of draft picks in the market place 3. The work teams put into the draft does have meaning, some are better than others but you must have a grading system and when a guy stands out compared to the rest of the field, it can make sense to trade up. So do teams over-estimate their skill? Probably so, I think it is inherent in the process. They have a lot of money and people and data to throw at the problem, of course they believe in what they are doing.

Supply and demand. don’t think it will go the way or rbs any time soon but I think like rbs are maybe undervalued right now wrs are overvalued. And that is part of what the gms are saying.

Ha, I had the same thought, that is a very "Buffalo" outfit for the weather

I thought this was supposed to be the year with a heavy class due to the pandemic, people stayed in college longer and now they are done with their 5th year? I have also heard NIL is making it easier for people to stay in.....

I understand punishing a team that tampers but has there ever been a reward for a team that was tampered against like this? Seems very arbitrary to me.

Check out the dead cap situation.

I think they could get number one overall for Josh and keep Milano. Trading Milano and Josh for the number one overall would be a big fleecing.

I pictured a guy with a tin foil hat behind a keyboard wrote this, am I right?

Super confident in Williams as far as what, they played like 4 other shmucks ahead of him last year. The guy has talent and hopefully it all comes together for him but I think the team demonstrated a big lack of confidence in him last year.

We shall call this the booger bowl

The bills are taking a bigger cap hit for him than the ravens.

Just gonna point out the bills need depth at cb. With White and Jackson gone it’s a position of need to a degree. Elam could be traded but that would mean there are two openings for depth.

Why would you assume the only options are final 4 and Super Bowl? Every other nfl playoff weekend is better than both.

Thurman Thomas minus Nyheim Hines

Yeah, you have to be confident he can work out, you are kind of committing to having him on the roster....we dont need dead weight because once upon a time he was a high pick.

He probably has a better chance in the NFL than the NBA. It was fun to watch him though

He fits the mold but he has had the opportunity and done nothing with it so far.

This is a complete nothing burger.....a teammate saying something and getting snapped at after a loss.....no way! Has anyone here not experienced this type of behavior in their own family?

Get 11 out of there

Diggs forced it….Joe Marino had a good rant on it. F him let’s move on. This will open up cap in the future for other stars who want to be here

I shook it off like this.
