International exposure for the NFL, is what I meant by that. And that has been priority #1 for Roger and crew for the last decade. The players will want to do it just to say they are also a Gold medal winner. Same as the Basketball players. And it will likely be stars that are aging-out of the league, not guys with their entire career ahead of them.

Good question, I wonder that myself. Especially because since there are 82 games, 41 home games, the cost of Sabres season tickets can be 2-3x as much as BILLS season tickets!

The NFL will have to figure out how it works into the cap, because now that the horse is out of the barn, it's only a matter of time until it really happens. To the bold, it's been established early in this thread that Williams' camp has never made such a request, and this was all BS reporting. Everyone can pump their breaks on judging him specifically.

Of course they are. But the exposure and money has always topped player safety, and always will. Fans are the most dramatic about that stuff.

The crazy part is, with the games not until 2028, the players who will be the hot young stars at that time are really just entering college now. Tyreek might be too old and slow by then!

Nah, I dont think many people are worried about that. Players want a gold medal. NFL wants the international exposure. Funny enough, most if not all of the players on the team I named will be out of the league by the time these Olympics are held

That's good stuff

It was the one and only thing I liked about Brady. As long as he was playing, there was still a chance I could. Real question, is Milano a vocal leader? He's always seemed quiet to me. More of a lead by example guy. But I dont really know.

Lamar, Tyreek, Achane, Diggs, and Jimbo Cook

That's what I was looking for, but the googs wasnt helping. Thanks!

Assuming the Olympics are going with the 5 on 5 format, what teams would you like to see?

Looking at all the replies in here from folks that were so excited to hate on this kid...

Haters gonna hate even if the report is true. I'm all for players asking for as much of the pie as they can get. The league is nothing without them.

No more than any rookie really. And as a UDFA, there's nothing stopping him from signing an equivalent of a 1st round pick contract. Or more. If it was open bidding with the Vikings, Patriots, Titans, and Commanders, he could probably do pretty well. I dont think it will happen. Nor do I think he's serious about the ownership thing, if that's even true. But I do like the player/ownership talk. Good for the players. Oh I agree. It's 11pm, I'm high. This is what you get. edit: To the bold, I think if he was "serious" about getting part ownership, once he got out of the top 3 he'd drop the demand and go to any team that isnt Chicago or Arizona.

Maybe it's a move to go undrafted and then he gets to be a Free Agent and have some say in where he starts his career. Might cost him some money upfront, but its all about the 2nd contract anyways. Look at Purdy.

Tuesday night in the beginning of the season. I bet tomorrow and Sat games are busier.

Great humble brag and now I have to ask, what kind of car?

I mean, I dont know I need to go so anti-woman, but yes, it's possible and likely the ladies chatted with the players, someone saw them since Buffalo is such a small world and it was Xmas shopping time, the "rumor" got back to the Police Sgt husband who I'm sure is a level-headed, reasonable man when he hears his wife was out on a date with a football player, and wants to know why her friend went back to talk to them later and give them her number, and she covers with a story about stealing a small enough amount he cant get in major trouble. Or a young, wild Lynch was really swiping $20s at the McKinley Mall after practice. Who knows.

Found a more details Buffalo News story. Details are... weird. There was another player there as well. https://buffalonews.com/news/lynch-accused-of-stealing-20-police-officers-wife-says-running-back-threatened-a-friend/article_bed31cd5-54ce-5def-898e-fe6469c72b1c.html#tncms-source=login Whole article below. I remember at the time there was a lot of speculation that the wife and friend were spotted hanging out/flirting with the players by other locals, word made it's way back to the husband through the police force, and then she covered with this story to save face. Of course, it's not impossible that Lynch just decided to steal $20 from some random woman while out in public.

How many other players got the phone number of the Sgt's wife?

The story goes that Marshawn was out and about and flirted with a woman and gave her his number (or got hers, I cant remember which) and that woman was the wife of a Hamburg PO. After that it was a regular cadence of HPD harassing him. Digging for the old details now... edit: Found it - https://www.espn.com/nfl/news/story?id=4813349 There was a lot more talk going around regarding what the $20 was for. Why it was brought out in the first place. Whether he actually stole from her, or he ended up with her info and the husband discovered it and then railroaded him.

Disagree. In both games our Offense would be totally different if Josh were running. On both called QB runs AND scrambles. Historically, Josh getting a couple runs in and laying some lumber to the defense settles him down. Nothing is for certain, but I could see it breaking him out of whatever weird head-space he was in in New Jersey. In London, the offense needed a spark and to find its identity. I fully believe Josh running answers both of those needs. Maybe a couple of called runs and a scramble or two to keep the chains moving is all that is needed to change a one-score game. I've said it in a number of threads, but it's a numbers game. When Josh is running the Bills are +1 on skills guys the defense must cover. When he isnt running, the numbers sway back to the defense's favor and it's easier for them to cover and defend.

I knew I'd be getting paragraphs from you on this. Cant dare criticize your boy. Lil Bonehead is gone. Moving on.

Allen talked about the concepts they run and the looks they were getting made Diggs the first read, and he is usually open in those reads. It's not "off script", it's that the script is long and complicated and gives the players lots of different options every play. Not that crazy of a concept.
