  1. I don't think being around Tyreek Hill would be good for him. (I understand your point and agree with it)
  2. You can find that headline from ESPN every year from 2014 onwards.
  3. You know the saying "there is no I in team" or "play for the name on the front of the jersey not the name on the back" or "put the team before the self" He's hate opposite of all those sayings
  4. There's a difference between being supportive of someone's life and then evaluating their contributions on the football field. Can't keep a guy just because you really enjoy his personality and the person. They're not in the business of babysitting people with drug problems so that they don't relapse. That's what rehab is for. I just hope whatever new team Josh goes to, they provide all the resources to him like the Pats did.
  5. Don’t really need Bennet. D line didn’t miss a beat without him and he didn’t really have much 1v1 domination. Great player no doubt but he wasn’t super disruptive like he was in his prime. Great trade chip though.
  6. No done for the year. He’s on IR. But he didn’t need to be on IR, lmao. Wonder what’s going on there. Whatever. Added Sanu and getting Nkeal Harry into the line up. edit: nvm. Could negotiate injury settlement and release.
  7. Except Howard has actually shown he has the ability to do it.
  8. Yes Botch was fan-centric - the "Canucks Twitter" fans. He summed up the overall tone from "Canucks Twitter" aka negativity about every move and published it. Yes he had great bits of brilliance sprinkled in to his work as well - I subscribed to the Athletic just for the Athletties. He was funny, he used colloquial language, he posted screenshots of Tweets from during the game (I always aimed to try and make it into the Athletties). But I also can't ignore the fact that, as someone above mentioned, he was 80% negative towards everything this team and management did, and 20% over blown positive with Petey and Boeser. Sometimes media forget that they don't know as well as the actual people involved in hockey operations and coaching do. They've never played the game, they've never coached or managed at any level. They simply just don't know. Just like Travis Green wouldn't tell Bill Gates how to run Microsoft. Yes part of journalism is to appropriately critique the team you are assigned to, but it's not to use your public persona on Social Media to create a cult like following of overly negative fanatics. Just my opinion, and it may sound harsh, but if Botch was alive today (and God rest his soul, taken way too early) he would be blasting out so much negativity over the Myers signing (before seeing just how great he's been for us), blasting the Ferland signing, blasting Ferland's play, blasting Goldy and Baer being down in the minors, blasting Stecher's ice time, and disregarding Miller's top line play because we gave up a 1st round pick that may or may not equate to an NHL caliber player. In the end, my opinion falls re: Botch at that he was extremely talented, and used his persona and skill to create this aura of negativity. You could see his talent in his writing, and I just wished I could've read some more positive pieces. It's a real shame that that opportunity was taken from us as I'm sure he'd struggle to find negativity when this team eventually became a cup contender.
  9. Offered a 2nd at the draft they said no because they thought they’d be competitive.
  10. When you have a bad o line you don’t need to throw to the safety off your back foot. You can chuck it out of bounds or at the feet of the nearest back. His first and 4th interceptions were just bad throws plain and simple. The boogeymen got to him. “I’m seeing ghosts”
  11. Gregg Williams gonna put out some bounties at half time, getting embarrassed in prime time must not feel good.
  12. Another live scrimmage. Another USC qb who sucks. Who will the Jets try next year? Maybe they go for Jake Fromm?
  13. Team NPF is shocked to have hit the 4 win mark on the season, given it was a clear full rebuild this year coming out of a draft where the team only had 2 picks.
  14. Apparently Gordon, Dorsett, Lacosse and Izzo and Burkhead are all out tonight. Guess it'll have to be the Edelman and White show or bust.
  15. Wow that would’ve been good from 66
  16. Looking forward to it, getting rubbed is what we enjoy most didn’t ya know?
  17. Have you had the 21 seasoning from Trader Joes? Life changing.
  18. There’s other seasonings besides salt out there, fam. Try some oregano to get that taste outcha mouth.
  19. Earl Thomas brought his new team into the allegedly “hardest away field to play at” and put up a 30 spot, held the Seahawks to a measley 3 points for the entire 2nd half, and pick 6’d Russel and the defense forced a fumble for a score. They got a beat down put on them.
  20. @Van40 those Seahawks players have families! Tell your team to ease off the beat down.
  21. Lol, spin it however you want, point still stands that your theory picked up 0 traction, and never will. The world has moved on, I suggest you do too.
  22. So isn't your point moot? The event happened 3 weeks ago. In today's world there' 10 new top news stories daily. This likely benefits Kraft in no way.
  23. I agree and disagree. At the end of the day I don't think BB was married to the idea of Brown on the team. Sure he would've loved to have him, but when he was in his lab in the off season creating this season's team and plan, AB wasn't a part of it. Of course you'd love to have that skill and talent on your team, but when you were already happy with your plan, AB was simply a bonus, not a necessity.
