  1. Good question. I'm also not sure how much they want to catch the star players, if at all.
  2. The NFL is far more concerned with The KC Swifties making the Super Bowl than it is with betting.
  3. When you put it like this, it really is amazing. I suppose in the not so far away future there will be billionaire quarterbacks. I'm not angry about this mind you. It really doesn't matter to me, but it's kinda hard to wrap my head around billionaire quarterbacks. I could not think of one single job that I would rather have.
  4. Well, I'm on my way To the city lights To the pretty face That shines her light on the city nights And I gotta catch a noon train I gotta be there on time Oh, it feels so good to know she waits at the end of the line Sweet, sweet city woman I can see your face, I can hear your voice I can almost touch you Sweet, sweet city woman And the banjo and me, we got a feel for singing, yeah, yeah
  5. And there you are, Saying we have the moon, so now the stars, When all you see Is near disaster gazing down on you and me, And there you're standing, Saying we have the whole world in our hands, When all you'll see, Deep inside the world's controlling you and me You'll see perpetual change You'll see perpetual change
  6. I am still amazed watching Allen play. He really is perhaps the most gifted QB in NFL history. He makes difficult passes look easy with his combination of touch, placement, and of course arm strength. I hope that I live long enough to see him inducted into the HOF.
  7. And I hear what you are saying but imo, scenes like this will only increase. Now, college players are driving around in Porsches. Many players will not let it affect them but I think that an increasing number of them will go wild with all of that money. Some of these kids will make more in college than I made in my entire life, and I'm not starving. But ya know, good for them. Many of them will spend the rest of their lives in pain, and they are super talented people. I tend to forsee many more problems like Dashaun down the road, but this could also be me being pessimistic.
  8. Deshaun is probably an example of a player who is no longer hungry. I am of the opinion that not every player who is in their twenties and riding around in a Porsche with a million cash in his pocket will be hungry enough to play professional football. Watson was great at Clemson. Dabo still talks about him. Some players that have this much money seem to lose their motivation. I'm not judging them either. Put me in that position at that age and I would rather not be sacked by Von Miller or some human missle safety on a blitz. I also would not want to take a punch from Mike Tyson. Nope, I'm sure that in my twenties I would rather hang out til all hours, party with the hottest women on the planet, and wake up when I feel like it. My guess is that plenty of teams are going to eat tons of cap space in the future after getting stuck with players who are rich and no longer care, especially given the size of these QB contracts. Dak Prescott might make more money per year than some owners.
  9. That Sir, was a badass Raider team. They had some dangerous men on that squad.
  10. So was Epstein. When the big boys really want you ain't looking good my friend. Look at what is going on today, and btw, I doubt if Ghislaine Maxwell lasts much longer. Do you think she will live long enough to write a tell all book? I'm surprised they didn't get to her yet tbh.
  11. My guess is that one of three things will happen: 1) He will ahem "commit suicide" in prison or be coincidently be murdered. 2) He will go to trial and buy his way into an aquittal. 3) His lawyers will tell him that he is sure to lose and he will talk and name names, and I do mean prominent names. My guess is #2. He is said to have big time political and Hollywood connections. What say you?
  12. Agreed, especially wrt Texas. They seem to have unlimited money, and Sarkisian is a GREAT coach. I consider him to be one of the great offensive minds in all of football, college and pros. Btw, the Arch Maning mania is quite premature imo. If Ewers doesn't come back, I don't expect Texas to win the title. Jmo.
  13. After the very good draft of 2001, productive drafts for us were few and far between. A case can be made that our next productive draft came in 2017, and even at that McDermott traded away the pick for Mahomes. 2009 was decent but remember, this was the year that they foolishly traded away Jason Peters, a GREAT LT. Gilmore and Glenn were productive players in the 2012 draft, but they missed out on the QBs that were named above. Other than that, it's hard (at least for me) to find a Bills draft to get excited about pre 2017. I don't think that many young fans know how much we suffered during the drought years.
  14. EJ was a terrible QB for us, but he is very good and informative on the Sirius College Sports Channel, and sounds like a smart, nice guy.
  15. Come Saturday morning I'm goin' away with my friend We'll Saturday-spend 'til the end of the day-ay Just I and my friend We'll travel for miles in our Saturday smiles And then we'll move on But we will remember Long after Saturday's gone
  16. I think that the Lions are great. I picked them before the season to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. They should win easily imo.
  17. They say that all good things must end someday Autumn leaves must fall But don't you know that it hurts me so To say goodbye to you? Wish you didn't have to go No, no, no, no And when the rain beats against my window pane I'll think of summer days again And dream of you
  18. Damar did nothing wrong at all. Tua was wrong to even be on the field. He should retire and live his life.
  19. Good for him. He didn't put a gun to anybody's head to give him that huge contract.
  20. I also place Curtis Martin in the class of a "statistics compiler." I am NOT saying that he wasn't very good, because he was. I just think that his greatest asset was endurance. Of course, jmo.
  21. Sly look that we keep the promise, ladies And make me get off Take it from girls with our imagination So we can get off Call me up at your place, I can love you crazy In the heat you will understand Danger and excitement, that's what makes a lady Find out what she wants in a man
  22. Here is a Hall of Fame LB. It took him forever to get inducted. I was very young when he played but I always thought that he was great. He was one of the best LBs I ever saw play, easily in the top 10 imo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Brazile
  23. Not really under the radar but Davonta Smith. He's not the biggest or the fastest wr, but he is spectacular. What he could do with Josh Allen throwing to him is unthinkable.
  24. A Grateful Dead song by perhaps the greatest living guitarist. It doesn't get much better than this imo.......
  25. As I said before, as a Crimson Tide fan, Tua is one of my favorite non-Bill players, and perhaps one of the nicest people in sports by all accounts. That said, I never want to see him play another down. He probably should have retired before this incident. Still, I have no sympathy for the Dolphins and I'd love to see Jaylen Waddle escape from Miami, perhaps to Buffalo for a few high draft choices. I can dream, can't I?
