One ***** hole of a motel within walking distance, and folks still dont want a downtown stadium...

Who are we kidding? We will ALL watch it. I'd rather have this than Peter King's prediction of playing the Buccs to open the season on Thursday Night Football. Planning on going to that game and really don't want to watch them raise the banner for another Brady Super Bowl. Plus, that means I'll be kicked out before kick off after I rain down dildos onto the field during the ceremony.

Some of those OC names at the top of the list... Nathaniel Hackett, Greg Roman, Alex Van Pelt... Just shows how big of a difference having a real QB makes.

I have a leather 8-Ball jacket from middle school (1991), and it still fits. I break it out every now and then to make the wife cringe or get a laugh on a group text with the boys. Me and Puddy.

You are correct on all that. And with that, I can see why you'd say he hosed him. It's not inaccurate for the right now. I just think that, bigger picture, it went just fine. Regardless of how it ended. You know better than to post this and not provide links to IG "vacation" pics.

ahh, i see. glad you were able to survive Friday with the trackpad

There is no Salary Cap dilemma now, in 2022, or ever. The Salary Cap is a myth.

It was a number of things. Kinda "Perfect Storm"ish. 1. Cord cutters hit them with a major blow. 2. And maybe even bigger, the NFL deciding to launch it's own network, and jack up the cost of licensing highlights pretty much took ESPN out at the knees. They had to cut NFL Primetime, and lots of other NFL content. And lets face it, NFL rules the sports news world. 3. Losing the NHL contract to NBC. Although I'm not sure how much they lost it as opposed to just let it go. 4. All those hits forced them to make major cost cutting moves, which meant all the good (high priced) on-air talent got axed. Which drove down program quality. The only thing ESPN has going for it is College Football. I dont have the numbers but I'd bet that Golic made far more money over his time at ESPN than he did as an NFL player. So can't really say Greeny hosed him. Plus, it feels like he's been ready to retire for a long time now but was hanging out because he had nothing else to do, the check was decent, and he was helping his kid get a foot in the door to easy money.

Dang. One of the few good ones left. I'm sure there might be one or two lingering that I'm forgetting, but once Kornheiser and Wilbon call it quits from PTI, there will be no good talent left at ESPN.

Yall dont have expense accounts in that fancy-schmancy office? We've been given carte blanche on any purchase under $20 for home office use during all this. No questions asked. Anything above that requires the usual approval/receipts.

This is very romantic.

This is what I thought everyone was already talking about doing. Although, I'm almost positive there is a valve in the handle/nozzle that prevents any gas from actually coming out when doing this.

Every time I hear someone say you feel me?/nawmean?/know what Im saying?, I think of Butters. He's the big CB who out-maneuvered little John Brown on the last play of the game against the Ravens in 2019 that sealed the victory for them. Which I believe is a major reason we looked to add bigger WRs and replace Brown ever since. Diggs and even Davis would likely have come down with that ball.

Gaine was gone for only one year, and was back on staff for the signing/drafting of every player in your list.

About all that...

Or to ask another way: Which severely over-inflated market do you think will crash first?

What's more likely: The stock market continues through 2021 to climb on this sky-rocket path it's been on over the last year? or BTC goes to $100k by the end of 2021? Poll is open.

I'm not sure why this didnt click until just today, but one thing I didnt realize is that Basham himself is 6'5"! I think with Rousseau being 9ft tall, and Boogie being extra THICCC, it made him look shorter when watching him on tape. I was thinking he was only 6'2" or so, and would be another Oliver-type of power house. But man, 6'5"! And 275lbs! We got some big boys on this line now.

I mean, who cares what these nobodies have to say? Not even going to give them a click.

https://www.hookem.com/story/sports/football/2021/05/06/police-texas-linebacker-jake-ehlinger-found-dead-near-campus/4978568001/ Crazy. And tragic. I dont watch a ton of Texas but remember seeing Sam play, and the broadcast showing his family a lot. I wonder what happened with Jake.

I'm confident the cap will increase a lot next year as the NFL gets past balancing last years "losses" with the reduction in this year's cap. (I put air quotes around losses since the league still made hundreds of millions). Not worried about the Josh extension. Exercising the 5th year option allows us to spread some of that extension money over the 5th year as well. Plus, with long term deals, there are lots of ways to fudge things around. Diggs is still another year from an extension as well. And outside of some ridiculous, anomaly contracts like Hopkins, Diggs is still paid pretty well among WRs. Finally, and the main point I'd like to make... The Salary Cap is a myth. There are so many ways to adjust and maneuver, it shouldnt even be something us fans worry about. Not even a few weeks ago, New Orleans was $100M over the cap, and now they are fine. And that happens every season. Teams work magic and get it figured out. Go Bills!

I was surprised to learn this week that BOTH Beane and McDermott are only 5'7".

So he could steam off the stamps and re-use them. Ralph is cheap!
