I would lose almost ALL faith in this FO if they took a RB in the 1st round. Not just this year, but ever.

It really is a great lesson and a lot of good advice for everyone to hear. Not just young athletes with tons of cash.

Big oof. Yeah, cant do it.

After living through it as an impressionable adolescent, I cant bring myself to watch The Four Falls of Buffalo and probably never will. I dont need to re-live that. I'm sure it's good. But I just can't.

I thought you were already just permanently cosplaying as him ? ? ?

"Broke" is a great one. "Requiem for the Big East" "Once Brothers" "Small Potatoes: Who Killed the USFL" (Trigger warning for all our Trump worshipers though. Spoiler Alert: It was another bad Trump business deal that killed it) "The U" "Pony Excess" "Catching Hell" Those are probably my favorites. But they really are ALL good.

For what it's worth, he went on to a stacked playoff team in Baltimore and instead of being a Pro Bowler is now infamous for his bad drops in the AFC championship to hand the Super Bowl trip to New England. So...

Non-starter right there. He isnt worth it. Maybe 5, even 3 years ago. But not now. He'd have to be willing to take Smith money ($3M/year) if I were GM. I hope Beane doesnt make yet another salary mistake with a "Carolina Process Guy".

I never once said that. I never even said anything. I simply let Rush speak for himself. I'll say something now though: I hope Rush is shown all the respect and empathy he has extended to others throughout his career. And I'll again leave with Rush's own words: "Compassion is no substitute for Justice" - Rush Limbaugh

Smith, Kroft, and Olsen are all pretty much garbage. This is exactly how I felt until I read this news he's visiting. I still feel that way tho.

Smith does that too. On top of the penalties.

I understand that and still want him cut. His blocking skills do not outweigh his stupid penalty skills and lack-of-any-other-talent skills. For a guy who made the roster for his blocking, I wasnt all that impressed with it.

Not much, and what you read is probably right. But as long as he doesnt jump Offside, or line up in an illegal formation, or take other penalties that vets shouldnt be taking, then we are already ahead.

I should be clear: After watching the Panthers on Amazon's All or Nothing and seeing what Olsen went through with injuries and where he seems to be in his career, I really want nothing to do with him. However, I'd rather have Olsen as our #3 TE than Lee Smith, if and only if, we can get him for a good price as well (about the same as we're paying Smith). I see it more as improving the bottom of our TE corp and bringing in another smart, experience player for Knox and Josh to work with.

Also, with his past love affair with Cam, and the fact Josh gets most compared to Cam, it seems a good fit.

CALLER: If you’re in an environment where somebody smokes, you can get secondhand disease from — RUSH: No. CALLER: — secondhand smoke. RUSH: No. You can’t. That is a myth. That has been disproven at the World Health Organization and the report was suppressed. There is no fatality whatsoever. There’s no even major sickness component associated with secondhand smoke. It may irritate you, and you may not like it, but it will not make you sick, and it will not kill you. Source CDC: "Secondhand smoke exposure contributes to approximately 41,000 deaths among nonsmoking adults and 400 deaths in infants each year. " Rush on nicotine: “There is no conclusive proof that nicotine’s addictive... And the same thing with cigarettes causing emphysema, lung cancer, heart disease.” Rush on the genocide of American Indians: “Columbus saved the Indians from themselves.” Rush on Michael J Fox having parkinsons disease: "He is exaggerating the effects of the disease. He's moving all around and shaking and it's purely an act... This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting." Rush on African Americans voting: “[African Americans] are twelve percent of the population. Who the hell cares?” Rush on the NFL: “Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.” Rush on global warming: “If you believe in God, then intellectually you cannot believe in man-made global warming." Rush on global warming 2: "Global warming relies on the theory that we are destroying ecosystems. There is no evidence that we could destroy ecosystems." Rush on global warming 3: "For years I’ve pointed out that global warming is bogus." Rush on feeding poor children in public school: “If you feed them, if you feed the children, three square meals a day during the school year, how can you expect them to feed themselves in the summer? Wanton little waifs and serfs dependent on the State. Pure and simple.” Rush on a 13 year old girl: "Socks is the White House cat. But did you know there is also a White House dog?” (Rush Limbaugh, while holding up a photograph of 13-year-old Chelsea Clinton) Rush on exercise: “Exercise freaks … are the ones putting stress on the health care system.” Rush on feminism: "Feminism has led women astray. I love the women’s movement — especially when walking behind it.” Rush on LGBT: “When a gay person turns his back on you, it is anything but an insult; it’s an invitation.” Rush on people in the military who didn't support the Iraq War: "The phony soldiers." Rush on women: "Women still live longer than men because their lives are easier." Rush on women protesting sexual harassment: “They’re out there protesting what they actually wish would happen to them sometimes.” Rush on the homeless population: "Isn't that how the homeless became homeless? They used to be institutionalized and a bunch of liberals came along and said, "They have rights! You can't keep them there"?" Rush on the heterosexuality: "Heterosexuality may be 95, 98 percent of the population. [Heterosexuality is] under assault by the 2 to 5 percent that are homosexual.” Rush on legalizing gay marriage: I simply asked you to think what was your first reaction when you heard first about gay marriage? And I said you’re probably having the same reaction here. And gay marriage is now standard, normal operating procedure. [Pedophilia] could be, too. Rush on what criminals look like: "Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?”. Rush on Sandra Fluke who testified that women should have access to affordable contraceptives: "It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex. She's having so much sex she can't afford the contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex. What does that make us? We're the pimps. (interruption) The johns? We would be the johns?

You dont really have an option for us expats who will be back in Buffalo at our family's house. I said "At a friend or family home" but it doesnt really tell the whole story. I will definitely be back in Buffalo to watch it with friends and family at home. And then head downtown for the rioting once we win.

This would be a big waste of money if we bring him in for anything more than $3M/year. edit: HOLY CRAP I just looked up Lee Smith's contract. Beane gave him 3yr/$9M with $4.4M in guarantees?!?! Thank the gods we can cut him this year with only $1M in dead money. Cut Smith, give the money to Olsen. But dont expect much from Olsen either.

I bring back Shaq either way because I want to bring him back AND sign a top tier guy. This is Hughes's last year, and we have cash now with some good talent in FA. You've probably seen me say it before, but: Sign Ngakoue Re-Sign Shaq Draft DE early (first 3 rounds) Git'r'dun

Yes. He has been extremely underwhelming. I'd rather pay to bring back Shaq. It is, but it has been such a hot topic down here for the past two years that I'm not surprised the team just wants to get it out there and move on from the story.

Dont put that on the fans. That was 100% ALL management. The Thrashers had plenty of season ticket holders, dedicated fans, and better attendance then the Winnipeg Jets (where the Thrashers moved) currently has. That was an ownership team who was only about Basketball and didn't know what to do with the hockey team they inherited.

Plus, the on-field product flat out sucks. You talk about fatigue from overstimulation, and while I definitely agree, at the same time I could (and do) watch College Football on Thursday Nights, Friday Nights, ALL day Saturday and anytime else it is on and never get burnt out on it. Because the on-field product is far more entertaining. More diverse teams with different schemes instead of every team doing the same thing. And far better officiating, or at least refs that dont look like they are trying to fix games. The NFL cant even define a catch, nor get PI calls right even on replays without the refs revolting. It's just becoming a garbage league because of bad leadership.

It is truly market saturation and why the NFL is working so hard to expand out of the country.

I have an issue with squirrels getting into our vehicle vents to store their nuts and leaves. I went the Amazon route and ordered this stuff, and it has done the trick. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072C87MD8/ Even though it says "Squirrel Mace" I'd bet it would work for almost anything. It's a potent mix of concentrated peppermint oil and concentrated garlic oil. It made me gag when spraying it. Only thing is, we have an outdoor parking pad. Not sure I'd spray that in an enclosed garage. Not real harmful, but it does stink something fierce.

I was just going to say.. They should have added a small PSL to United Season Tickets. Split the PSL revenue between Falcons and United. The United are the hottest ticket in town since none of us transplants had a previous home-town Soccer team.
