Offside Number 76

What you don't know is that I controlled OP''s movements and made him post this.

I think any league serious about reducing injury would start by expanding game-day rosters, thus allowing for more rotations in and out of the game and less wear and tear. Not necessarily concussions, but other injuries.

So...

I have yet to see a limo where the driving cabin has the deep black tint. And even if there is one, there might be a different law governing livery than normal cars. Fact is, NYS has a law governing tints. I hate this, too, but the man wasn't following the law, and got caught. That does happen.

Wow. This is completely stupid. Driving while drinking a beer is its own crime. Even if you're on the first sip of the first beer. Driving while smoking a joint, pipe, or whatever also is its own crime. It's incredible that this needs to be explained.

It could be legal nationwide and still banned by the league.

That's why I asked the question I asked. Employers are free to have tougher restrictions than those found in the law--substance related or otherwise. Example: you can be fired for going to work in a bathrobe, but you're not violating the law by walking around that way.

Thanks very much. As a matter of practicality, it is, since state and municipal law enforcement are not pursuing it, and the feds aren't going to pull a guy over for having tinted windows. It goes back up to the above-quoted post; the NFL would never know about it absent independent testing, which I now understand takes place. I get your point, but it's a distinction without a difference in a situation like this.

Serious question (and please pardon me if it's addressed somewhere in the previous ~200 posts): Bradham has to deal with the league's personal conduct policy as a result of this. If he played for the Broncos or Seahawks (in states where marijuana is legal), would his possession of a personal-use quantity still be a violation of that policy? In other terms, does the NFL policy prohibit breaking the law, or does it prohibit possession of marijuana?

Awesome.

Not that I want to get into too much of a tangent, but the reason I was a ****ty keeper was because of my kicking game. I could save just about anything, but I couldn't get the ball upfield or to the right players with any distance. Defenders had to take my goal kicks and my punts were horrible. So much for that career option. Anyway, point is, I don't see any reason why one man couldn't do both jobs. I do understand that they are different kicks. And is Danny White that long ago?

Sell.

I'm not. Yes, he has to angle his punts, and yes, he wants to keep his goal kicks (which are taken without a tee) in bounds. No, he does not have to kick the ball through goal posts, but hundreds of pro-level goalies have that level of accuracy. To the other point, I'm not sure it matters whether the ball is pointed.

It's a valid question. Any soccer goalie can do both.

I love the fact that this thread is still active. I hope it never dies.

For how long must that pattern go on?

I think a lot of you are missing the big karmic picture here. Jeff Tuel went to Washington State. So did Drew Bledsoe. Bledsoe, of course, famously lost his job to Tom Brady. So, for karmic balance, Jeff Tuel must be the next Tom Brady. I can't believe I actually have to explain these things...

Former Bill Nick Barnett. He has such a positive outlook on things.

Was there another thread dedicated to the 2 minute drill as of 1040 am? Honest question.

This starting line isn't as good as last year's starting line, is what I meant.

EJ's two minute drill was behind a weaker line, and without CJ, FJ, and SJ.

This still is correct. Tuel's impressive performance against future practice squad players did nothing to change it. There's no way the team risks Tuel's departure by sending him to the PS, but there's also no way it cuts Kolb. Tuel will be the third QB while he learns, whether Manuel (my preference) or Kolb starts. In a couple of years, Tuel might be the Bills' version of Matt Cassel, whom they can trade for assets.

Disagreeing with a post is different than saying it's unnecessary and/or frivolous to have a discussion about something. But feel free to call me out anyway.
