  1. Only a handful of QBs drafted over the last 10 years have turned out to be any good so it's a pretty meaningless question.
  2. Tennis team related, but nice story. http://usatodayhss.com/2018/university-of-alabama-tennis-signs-fourth-grader-with-rare-immunodeficiency
  3. Tremaine "The Ayatollah of Buffaloa" Edmunds
  4. Foster is 6'2" 194, I don't think he is competing against two undersized slot receivers. Who do we have on the outside?
  5. His play will blow you away.
  6. Alabama didn't have a great passing game this year. He has talent. Hopefully he can refine his game.
  7. He allegedly threw the dog across the room yet somehow the dog wasn’t injured. Seems like a fabrication like the 8 - 10 punches to the head.
  8. They are going to get the players that they think are best suited to win games. If they did otherwise they wouldn’t be in the NFL.
  9. There are radicals that want to remove every vestige of Christianity from the public square even though it's part of our history and cultural heritage. I think that's where this is coming from.
  10. Rosen's father is Jewish and his mother is a Quaker. I guess technically he isn't Jewish either, but he self-identifies as being Jewish. Yes. oy vey. A lot of things, real or imagined, could become real issues,
  11. There have been a relatively small number of Jewish NFL players and none are named "Schlomo or a Feivish or Mordachai. There are no NFL players named Luigi, but I don't infer from that that there is an anti-Italian bias. http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jews-in-the-national-football-league-nf
  12. I think all NFL teams have a chaplain, but most are part-time. I don't think it's unusual to bring your own guys in, including the chaplain.
  13. How about Julian Edelman? It's an obvious Jewish name.
  14. The Patriots, among others, have a full-time chaplain. I have never heard them being accused of having a religious litmus test.
  15. I think he prefers guys that buy into his team concept and coaching philosophy.
  16. I posted how Jordan Matthews felt uncomfortable about sharing his faith at team meeting, but the folks with the pitchforks have chosen to ignore it. He wasn't resigned, by the way.
  17. Not sure what these "signs" are you are alluding to. So you think that the Bills didn't draft Rosen because he is Jewish? That's a pretty outrageous and silly claim.
  18. Not sure why you would think that I believe there should be a religious litmus test to play for the Bills. What are the signs you are seeing that indicate that the Bills have such a test?
  19. Give me an example where the Bills have used religious faith as a litmus test. You are mad that the Bills didn't sign Rosen so you are lashing out against Christians? That's what it sounds like.
  20. History is replete with coaches, many of whom have been very successful, who are very open about their faith and use Christian principles in their leadership. I have named a few. This topic smacks of a witch hunt.
  21. Buffalo’s own Frank Reich. https://www.google.com/amp/s/articles.pennlive.com/philadelphiaeagles/index.ssf/2016/05/philadelphia_eagles_offensive_1.amp Frankly, I’m not sure why it’s even a question or a concern.
  22. Virginia coach Tony Bennett. “Coach Bennett says his team is led by 5 pillars — Humility, Passion, Unity, Servanthood, and Thankfulness. The pillars were a creation of his father Dick Bennett, was a longtime basketball coach at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, Wisconsin and Washington State. Virginia players said the pillars are discussed and applied for basketball every day. They’re so important to the success to our program,” Bennett said in 2015 . It’s not just lip service, we really believe in them. They’ve influenced me and I’ve used them for my program every year. I think these pillars are what truly matters. Whether you’re a believer or not, those are significant for a team. They’re (posted) in our locker room, and they’re everything to our program. To be great in basketball, those things have to be there.” https://sportsspectrum.com/sport/basketball/2018/03/15/virginia-coach-tony-bennett-says-his-faith-in-christ-is-the-greatest-truth-i-know/
