What happens today to any player that shows up, cant pass the fitness test, but stays on the team? They still get paid for being held out as a fatass?

Joe Burrow's dad on $36.1 million Bengals contract: 'We finally got him outta our basement' https://www.theadvocate.com./baton_rouge/sports/lsu/article_633b31a6-d1a8-11ea-be5b-230c1821cc58.html lol, Dad...

I wonder if this could turn into a situation where the Bills "threaten" Star with making the team next year and having to play to get his money, in order to push him to be the one to retire so we get that money back.

Not abolished and not everywhere. Not sure where you came up with that leap. Those 3 states should collect, but keep the money for themselves and use it for their own citizens. In my single post unrealistic fantasy idea.

Good lord, there are enough insufferable pedants on here already, dude. Go back and read my first post without snipping one small part. I know you're upset because VA is a welfare queen too, but the joke scenario was about 3 states stopping and crippling other states that constantly bash them.

Right on. I was just posting for general discussion since a lot of folks only think of Beaches, Hollywood, and Silicon Valley when they think of California. But there is a crazy amount of farming there too. Heck, our own QB has a pistachio farm, and I personally cant wait to taste "Josh's Nuts"!

All literally explained in the article. https://theconversation.com/blue-state-bailouts-some-states-like-new-york-send-billions-more-to-federal-government-than-they-get-back-137950 It isnt a realistic idea, just a joke for perspective.

lol, The Village. Didn't mind it, but yeah. For what it's worth, California produces the most food (by value) in the United States followed by Iowa and Nebraska. California is the world's 5th largest supplier of food, cotton fiber, and other agricultural commodities. In the U.S., California is the largest producer of food despite having less than 4% of the farms in the country.

NY, California, and Mass should stop payments to the Federal government to show everyone in the country who really needs who. The REAL Welfare Queens like Mississippi, Kentucky, Alabama, heck the whole Southeast, would be crippled and begging for their handouts. But they would never do that, because they dont function on the "I got mine, F&$% YOU" attitude the GOP does.

It's this type of insider info that keeps me coming back to the board. Interesting.

Same. Drums guy, wife likes flats. I'll eat both tho. I just pull one of the bones out of the flat and make it a single-boned drum. And yeah, give me crispy or give me death!

Funny, and I dont think he's that wrong. It does look like ol Frank in Depew.

Americans arent allowed into Canada right now (or much else of the world) so Toronto is out. Canada wouldnt even let the Blue Jays in, they arent going to let in an entire league.

If youre still listening to those two during a year with no sports, that's on you. Enjoy your self-inflicted punishment. ?

The matter wasnt about opting out, it was about whether going over 10 weeks in a bubble is too long. Players are already opting out without the bubble. Maybe more would with a bubble. But my point was, 10 weeks isnt some magic number that is impossible for humans to be gone that long. @GunnerBill has chosen to opt out for the season. Noted.

Because the leagues arent focused or worried about which team wins a championship, or if there even is a championship. They are just trying to capture as much revenue as possible. If they need to cut out a few teams, but still have some teams playing and generating revenue, they're gonna do it.

I dunno. My daughter is my world right now, but for $5M I could figure out how to deal with being gone for 4-5months. Pretty sure our active duty military folks leave their families for longer stints and for way less money. It can be done.

Love that his long-time artist is also a huge Bills fan! https://www.instagram.com/aplustattoos/?hl=en

Is there really any "science" behind something that even aristo clearly describes as "isn't proven" and merely "some thought behind it"? There could be lots of "thoughts". Just because some people come up with a theoretical idea doesn't mean there is anything behind it. Especially when even those people are saying nothing has been proven. Do not mistake "having thoughts" for "intelligence and science".

Hearing Patrick Chung is opting out as well, but cant find a link or source.

Dolphins now the second best team in the AFC East?

I can tell you how it would be different. There would be 3000 dead and Republicans would be blowing their lid about the greatest failure by a President in American history. It wouldnt have been 0 for anyone, ever. But starting the approach by dismissing a global pandemic as a "Democratic Hoax" set us down a path from which we are unable to recover.

WRT the bold. We did. We had the best pandemic response system in the world. Someone threw it all away in 2018.
