  1. He's doesn't need to run around in his shorts in June and has nothing left to prove. OTAs are for rookies and younger players, not GOATs...
  2. Absolutely agree 100%. Any player that would put up with loosing, especially when it's on purpose through the construction of the roster, is not someone I want on the team. ROR said what needed to be said and it's a shame he's being slagged for it...
  3. A real original. RIP, Mac...

  5. Cool. Polynesians are always fun to have around...
  6. What's ESPN?...
  7. Fully expect the refs to play a major role in game 5 in BOS. I'm looking forward to Game 6 now...
  8. Neither of those two guys (especially timmah) work hard enough. I enjoy The Athletic, but one new Bills-related article a week by Graham--even during the season--is a joke...
  9. Yet another example of why TSW is the go to site on teh interwebs....
  10. At the Pro Bowl, certainly...
  11. Sheesh. Four pages and counting. Nothing is different with the stadium situation today than yesterday, or tomorrow...
  12. Jesus Christ, heavyweight boxing has fallen off the edge of the earth. That was embarrassing by historic standards...
  13. As well as more balanced, particularly on defense...
  14. Edited for brevity, fixed for context...
  15. I hope not. If it is, it's definitely not good for his future: "...The principal findings of this study demonstrated that players with a previous Jones fracture performed worse within the first 2 years in the NFL than controls, with a significant difference demonstrated for defensive linemen and running backs. On CT scans, the plantar (18/32; 56.3%) and lateral (15/32; 46.9%) cortices were frequently not healed. A lower CT score, as determined by the described method, was associated with fewer games started (2.7 vs 17.4 for score <1 vs 1-3, respectively)" "...Refractures and nonunion after a Jones fracture remain major concerns for NFL players.9 Wright et al23reported on 3 football players who suffered fifth metatarsal refractures on the first day back to full activity, despite the appearance of complete healing radiographically and clinically. " "...Based on CT, 50% of all players with a previous Jones fracture demonstrated incomplete healing. Moreover, position-specific performance scores over the first 2 years of a player’s career were lower across all positions for those with fractures compared with controls. " https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6113739/ EDIT: After further reading, it seems that in cases where players refractured the fifth metatarsal after initial surgery, insertion of larger screws fixed the problem and they were able to return in 6-10 weeks. I hope this is the case with Kroft...

  17. Damn! Lost to New England again. "...Brothers-in-law Tyler Cooke and Bobby Leopold have already teamed up to win two Rhode Island Golf Association Four-Ball Championships. Now, the Ocean State residents are one step closer to capturing a national title in the same format....“This course is an interesting test of golf,” said Leopold, the 2017 New England Amateur champion.

  18. As there's a 99.99998% chance he's a Pats fan, I'd say anti-Bills bias. Same as the 90%+ of TSW posters that can't praise Brady as it would be against their world view...
  19. Here you go: https://www.footballoutsiders.com/info/meet "Aaron spent five years on the radio at WBRU Providence and WKRO Daytona Beach...He has written for a number of publications including The New Republic, The New York Times, The Boston Globe, Slate, The American Prospect, and the Boston Phoenix. He lives in Natick, Massachusetts."
  20. LOL. All I implied a few responses ago is that a catch like that would not take place in a normal game (as the receiver would get 'dislodged' from the ball by DBs). You agreed. Let's leave it at that...
