Actually, I'm a physician. I have cared for many patients who were actively suicidal. I agree, MDD manifests in different ways (although the DSM would beg to differ), but people who are actively suicidal are pretty uniform in their behaviors and mannerisms.
I have one. Why is a guy who's seriously contemplating suicide going out partying? People with major depressive disorder usually experience anhedonia as well as become socially withdrawn. But he's out there with a captain's hat (?) grinning ear to ear.
He didn't exactly say this. But there was a tweet shortly after the season (or maybe while injured) where he was getting all philosophical (I use this term loosely) about feeling like he just didn't fit in. In hindsight, he was probably talking about his size 45 jeans.
Considering that young men's careers are on the line, as well as their livelihood, I'm glad Rex is professional enough to take preseason very seriously.
I like the idea of a bridge deal. It gives TT a sense of control; he can sign for 2 years at $15 million per or he can roll the dice and try for a mega deal at the end of the season. Either way, no matter what happens, TT can't complain or be disgruntled. And the Bills are safe either way.
Even if just 4 teams are/were involved, that's a 25% chance he lands with any 1 team. 25% is hardly a "likely" chance, but rather a potential chance.
But anyways, even "potential" would be a poor word choice at this point.
There's only one scenario where continuity works. If the HC stays around long enough to get/develop a franchise QB or already has one. If there's no franchise QB, continuity doesn't matter or work.
I don't think he's retiring for the reason people think he's retiring. This likely has little to do with preserving his health. Why did the Ravens suddenly release him? He hasn't exactly been the NFL's poster boy. Quite the opposite and this is likely why teams decided against pursuing him. So, he retires.
If my memory serves me, the pats just 3 full time employees: 1 coach (who also serves as GM), 1 guy who throws balls, and the owner. They did have 4, but terminated the deflater position. Otherwise, they have an assortment of people doing odd jobs.
You're probably right, but I don't know how comfortable this guy was with hearing trains. And even with trains being "quiet", I doubt their horns are. Unless the train never saw him either and didn't blow its horn. Anyway, this was a completely preventable death had the victim used better judgement.
