I am not assuming anything

if 40% of people in the surveys admit to it, number is probably closer to 50 %

and that is of married people, number is probably higher for non married people


and I am also sure if you go deeper, asian males and african american males cheat much higher

This all sounds very nice.

get back to me after you've lived it for ten years. Then get back to me after you've lived it for 15. Then get back to me after you've lived it for 20.

You don't sound like a lame ass. You sound like a naive kid who hasn't had any real life hung on you yet.

He signed so all is good. But from what I understand, they can't participate in training camp, but can attend meetings...however, no one ever does.

So he could have went to meetings, but the set precedent would have been that he didn't do that either.

Depends on the deal, but yes, I'm ready to celebrate a long term Rhino contract with a tall glass of Talisker and a long HB rant about his 30 goal upcoming season.

I would rank that up with marriage

Im talking just “dating”

When you put a baby into someone ( not your sister or family) that should be you’re number one priority every day take care of her make sure she eats the right food

But there are some trash girls out there that deserve the death penalty imo

I’m still hoping for the bridge deal But if we sign him for 4 years that’s just bad management in my opinion

I'll be curious to review the contract terms in comparison to others drafted this year in the first round. Maybe it'll have a clue as to why it took all summer. Not that it matters.

I’m probably guessing because Baker Mayfield didn’t sign until two days ago

Sort of. And I'll explain why.

Based on McDermott's and Beane's 1st year, they made some questionable roster decisions that made fans think they were tanking. However, they managed to bring in starting plugs as well as premium murrency. That tells me they had a vision and a clear path moving forward, all while trying to win.

They know exactly what the holes on this team are, and continue to address them, as early as yesterday by signing a versatile DB/LB for depth purposes. Some people will continue to complain about not addressing receiver. The receivers on the market today are scraps and Dez Bryant, who will likely choose a team that loses it's top receiving options in training camp. He's also widely portrayed as a headache and many teams will not bring him in for even close to what he's asking for. Based on the culture movement that the team is trying to instill, this seems like a last ditch effort kind of signing for them.

They are still doing their best to try and win today, all while clearing out bloated contracts and building primarily for the future. Last year, many will say it was a fluke that we made the playoffs. But our record, according to 'the pros', was supposed to be in the range of 3-13, so I'd say 9-7 was a pretty fine job by a "tanking" team.

What I'm getting to is this. They know they don't have the best receiving corp in the league, by a long shot. They know they have plenty of holes to fill. Those don't need to be listed here. This team is about growing their young talent while still trying to fight for a playoff spot. I believe that they believe they have some competent options on receiver, guys like Brandon Reilly, Jeremy Kerley and Robert Foster.

Again, this doesn't inspire confidence amongst the fans, but I truly believe once camp is over, we're looking at one or two of these current nobodies and thinking that they can be somebodies.

Next year, the team has a boatload of cap space and 9 picks in next years draft, and highly likely (hopefully) won't be looking to fill that franchise QB hole. Kelvin Benjamin needs an elite deep threat to be completely effective, and that may not come this year, but it will. With or without Benjamin.

Hope that answers the question.

Of all the things posted on this board, I cant stand when people bring up that the Buffalo Bills were tanking last year.

Although the owner has proven it in the past with his other sports franchise. I just do NOT want to believe it.
So I will not put any thought into it and argue that it isn't possible.

Was looking into that a few days back actually. Under the current CBA there aren't a lot of sticking points. The draftees get a pretty set scale for their pay and bonuses are set for the most part. It's either "offset language" that's being discussed or bonus terms such as when they are paid out.

Will be interesting to find out which, but from what I understand, it wasn't the dollar amount ultimately as this is predetermined for the most part.
