Maybe so but he made a ton of sense in this clip.

I agree 100%!!! Btw another example I could point to is Clemson. Are they a very good team? Absolutely. Are they well coached? Yes. Are there any other good teams in their conference? Well, Miami is now well coached and will almost certainly improve. Who else? I think no other team in the ACC is all that good. Clemson (again, a VERY good team) gets to feast on nobodies and gets into the playofs less banged up amd more rested than their opponents., while teams like OSU, Michigan and SEC Teams are tested quite often. As for me, I would be open to schedule reform but it doesn't matter what I think.

Yes, but what? A few points..... 1) Now that players are getting paid, should we expect them to play even more games? Doing so gives them a much bigger risk of injury and perhaps losing out on a VERY lucrative NFL career. Some kids are already skipping bowl games. 2) Should winners of inferior conferences (Pac 12, Big 12) receive automatic playoff spots? These teams are perhaps as good as a middle of the pack SEC teams, if that. 3) Should Group of 5 teams also be ushered into these playoffs? How will they shape up against Bama, Georgia and OSU? 4) Depth will now be the biggest factor in winning championships rather than pure talent and superior coaching. I expect Coach Saban to pull players earlier than he seems to like. The backups are going to have to be ready because players will be going down. Of this I have zero doubt. 5) Perhaps conference title games should be eliminated. Will this happen? Of course not because they are pure profit. 6) Again, these are college students who are young, still growing, and should not have to play NFL schedules. How long before it is expanded again to 64 teams, in order to give even more second rate (or perhaps so-so) teams a playoff berth? What number of games is too many? Coach Saban went to Alabama (which would seem to have less appeal to recruits than California and many other states) and built a championship team from one that had been playing poorly almost every season since they lost Bear Bryant. Perhaps other coaches should learn from him and copy his methods and work ethic. It worked for our own McDermott in using the term "process" that Saban invented. Maybe then they will find a way to consistantly beat him but no; it's easier to just change the rules.

This is nonsense. Inevitable but nonsense. Yeah, put the winner of the Big 12 and the PAC 12 in the playoffs, despite their clear lack of talent. 😒 These conferences will soon be lucky to exist. And let's be sure to bring in inferior Group of 5 teams and make the playoffs a complete farce.

LOL

Years ago, owners would slip defenders money to pay fines for late hits. Now, if they are called the players MUST pay it themselves because the penalties to the owners would be severe. The DEs are loathe to pay these fines and are more careful and the numbers probably reflect this. It shoud also be noted that most DEs are faster now and more agile. As you know, they too are taken in the top 5. I think that if Edge Rusher Will Anderson stays healthy he will be the first player selected next year. Teams (especially the Bills) need a good to great LT to protect their most important player. The Jets btw are another pathetic, idiotic franchise. They took a corner from a group of 5 school at #4 (with Evan Neal sitting there mind you), and just lost their left tackle. I am at a complete loss to understand how professional football people could be so inept. I rank the Jason Taylor trade as an epic disaster and a strikingly dumb move, even for the Bills of old. However this is just my (however strong) opinion, and thanks for the dialogue.

Cleveland is another example of a team with ongoing stupidity. And if the Browns had selected Peterson he would have had a much worse career, especially sans Thomas. Besides WEO, a running back over a great Left tackle? Only a franchise that was managed by idiots or those only thinking in terms of profit would do something this stupid. I think that as long time Bills fans, many of us have built up a resistance towards stupid contractual moves and ridiculous draft picks, and defend such idiocy as a reflexive action. For instance, in 2007 when the Bills were desperate for OL help, the morons in charge drafted Leodis McKelvin with Ryan Clady and Branden Albert sitting there and some folks thought it was OK. Historically, Bills draft choices were dumb to the point of being indefensible and so was the trade of Peters, for whom we obtained a pretty good and sometimes frail center. Good, solid line play is essential at every level of football. Before the rule changes, hits that would now be considered VERY late were totally legal, so yes, LT was THE 2nd most important position. One thing that I'm sure we can agree on is how great it is that we lucked into Josh Allen. Now, let's hope that he gets enpogh tools and protection. GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stick around.

I can't understand the above. I read it several times and came away with the implication that keeping him would have been wrong beacuse the team was bad. Sorry, imo this does not justify trading away a GREAT Left Tackle who makes the entire offense better. Remember WEO, this was a team on which Mr. Wilson could actually dictate who was drafted with ticket selling to be the priority, and Levy who was obsessed with defensive backs even before the pass favoring rule changes. The OL was habitually neglected for decades, dating back to Will Wolford. So, instead of keeping a HOF LT, we traded him for a draft pick which got us a fairly good Eric Wood. I can't come up with a way to rationalize this Bro.

Well, the Crimson Tide (and in fact the entire SEC) looked pretty damned good today, proving yet again that the SEC is by FAR the best conference in college football, or so it would clearly appear to be. Injuries always happen and things can change but at this point it would not seem to be close. In his press conference, Coach Saban said that he saw room for improvement and will be working on it. 55-0!!! ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine. I got a love, and I know that it's all mine. Oh. Do what you want, but you're never gonna break me. Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me. No. Take me away: A secret place. A sweet escape: Take me away. Take me away: to better days. Take me away: A higher place.

I'd rather be a forest than a street Yes, I would If I could I surely would I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet Yes, I would If I only could I surely would

Seasons change with the scenery Weavin' time in a tapestry Won't you stop and remember me? Look around Leaves are brown And the sky, is a hazy shade of winter

If he goes into politics his campaign pitch will be intercepted.

No time for a summer friend No time for the love you send Seasons change and so did I You need not wonder why You need not wonder why There's no time left for you No time left for you

Have a great time!

It's gonna take a lotta love to get us thru the night. It's gonna take a lotta love to make things work out right. So if you are out there waitin', I hope you show up soon. 'Cause my heart needs relatin', not solitude.

Where do we go from here now that all other children are growin' up And how do we spend our lives if there's no-one to lend us a hand I don't wanna live here no more, I don't wanna stay Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life, Quietly fading away Games people play, You take it or you leave it Things that they say, Honor Brite If I promise you the Moon and the Stars, Would you believe it Games people play in the middle of the night

People dancing all in the street See the rhythm all in their feet Life is good, wild and sweet Let the music play on...(Play on, play on, play on...) Feel it in your heart and feel it in your soul Let the music take control We're going to Party, Liming, Fiesta, forever Come on and sing along We're going to Party, Liming, Fiesta, forever Come on and sing my song! All night long (all night), oooh, (all night) All night long (all night), yeaz, (all night) All night long (all night), yeah, (all night) All night long (all night)...(all night)

Well I'm not the kind to live in the past The years run too short and the days too fast The things you lean on are the things that don't last Well it's just now and then my line gets cast into these Time passages There's something back here that you left behind Oh time passages Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight

She turned away, what was she looking at? She was a sour girl the day that she met me Hey, what are you looking at? She was a happy girl the day that she left me What would you do? What would you do if I follow you? What would you do? I follow

It's all cool Bro!

"Beyond all doubt." That would be insane. If even only one of 12 jurors had a 1% doubt, the case would be dismissed. Virtually no criminal would be convicted. In the USA, the standard is "reasonable doubt." What are they doing in the UK?

I am very worried. We didn't put enough emphasis on the secondary in the 2022 draft.

Or maybe both of those feelings/motives might be applicable and perhaps quite reasonable, no?
