  1. Nobody adds more to the discussion than unforgiven. A true patriot.
  2. I wonder if they are grooming him for Klein's role
  3. He's going to be on the bubble for sure but seems like the type of guy who has the work ethic to improve.
  4. He did work with Kittle last year. I recall Sal talking about it ad-nauseum on WGR for awhile during training camp. Found this link below. https://billswire.usatoday.com/2020/08/08/buffalo-bills-dawson-knox-worked-out-49ers-george-kittle/ Knox ended up working out with Kittle himself this offseason in Nashville, he revealed. “Just watching what he does on film is amazing. He’ll go block a D-end and then go run a corner [route] and score a touchdown. I think it’s really fun to see his athleticism in space… the way he creates separation,” Knox said. “He’s hard to bring down, too. If I was only to watch one person right now, I’d probably watch him.” After leading the NFL with 10 drops last season, Knox definitely has a ways to go to look anything like Kittle, who led the league in receptions per game among tight ends in 2019. Hopefully getting a first-hand look and possible advice from Kittle could be something the now second-year pro can lean on as he looks forward to Year 2.
  5. IN THE SPRING of 2008, the NFL was in crisis. A hard-charging United States senator from Pennsylvania named Arlen Specter had launched an investigation into the Spygate scandal. He tried to determine how many games the New England Patriots' illegal videotaping operation of opposing coaches' signals had helped the team win and learn why the NFL, under the orders of commissioner Roger Goodell, had destroyed all evidence of the cheating. By May, Specter -- a former Philadelphia district attorney and a lifelong Eagles fan -- was so angry at the "stonewalling" of his inquiry by the league and the Patriots that he called for an independent investigator, similar to the Mitchell investigation of steroid use in professional baseball. League executives and coaches might be forced to testify under oath. The prospect sent the league, and its new commissioner, into panic. "If it ever got to an investigation," Goodell said at one point, "it would be terrible for the league." The NFL tried to combat the Specter inquiry with public statements from teams that were the primary victims of New England's spying saying the league had done its due diligence. It wasn't working. But there was one man, a mutual friend of Specter and Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who believed that he could make the investigation go away. He was a famous businessman and reality television star who routinely threw money at politicians to try to curry favor, whether it worked or not. He had been a generous political patron of Specter's for two decades. One day in early 2008, Specter had dinner with the man in Palm Beach at his palatial club, not far from Kraft's Florida home. A phone call followed. The friend offered Specter what the senator felt was tantamount to a bribe: "If you laid off the Patriots, there'd be a lot of money in Palm Beach." Much more in the article
  6. Bannon was federally pardoned, no? No other way for that federal case to end up.
  7. She's that Rhino guy without spacing out her paragraphs - no wonder #BillsChaners flock to defend her like flies flock to feces.
  8. More news than a bombshell. No surprise considering there is a criminal probe of the Trump Org.
