  1. :w00t: That's an excellent team name.  I'm even playing you and didn't really look at the name closely.  Well done good sir.  By the way, good luck tonight.  I've got a decent cushion but you still have Gurley and Jones to go so it's by no means over.

     

    Hoping those guys have GREAT games haha.

  2. We might be entering week 2 with Woods-Goodwin-Salas? As our receiving depth

     

    Did you read the report above that said Watkins will have to play through pain? He played through broken ribs his rookie year.  I've got faith in Sammy.  The rest of the O is another story, but I have faith in Sammy

  3. Interesting.

     

    New guy on channel 4 (diligent, good), reported just now that (1) a 4 game suspension indicates several (four?) prior violations for Henderson; (2) the league has a protocol for advance approval of medically necessary banned substances.

     

    Neither reportage reflects particularly well on Seantrel.

     

    I still reject the notion that he's a bad guy or presents character issues because he's a toker, a smoker.

     

    He was on the watch list  because of a failed test just prior to the Combine IIRC.  That meant any positive test subsequent to that one would result in 4 games from my understanding. 

  4. I love how the NFL is the only major sport still concerned over marijuana use.  absolutely ridiculous, especially if someone wants to use a more natural route for pain killing rather than the manufactured painkillers they shove down their throats.  I have no problem with athletes using marijuana.  

  5. Don't think he ever really liked Buffalo or appreciated the adoration he got from the fans.

    I think he never really deserved the pedestal he was put upon.

    I get the sense he has no use for the franchise or the city and is probably disrespectful to both off camera.

    And I think he's a sour human being.

     

    Not a lot of evidence to support the above, but it is the impression I get.

     

    lol gotcha.  I disagree, but it's your impression  :beer:

  6. what is the probability that this stems from the NFL investigation into the personal conduct matter?

     

    otherwise, I am absolutely stumped.  The guy played a huge role in Pettine's D a few years back, and is a great fill-in until Shaq Lawson is good to go...

  7. You guys don't know how good you have it. Try working for Uncle Sam. Even if we know somebody is leaving on a certain date we are not allowed to even request a replacement until their first day gone. We then have to fill out the paperwork to get the position filled. It has to get approved through our chain and then our department bosses have to forward the request to HR. They have to do their thing and it takes a few days to actually post the position. The position has to be posted for something like 10 days and then it takes another week or so for them to do initial background checks and whittle the applications down to the top 10 or so. We get the packets and then we can call them to schedule interviews and the interviews must be at least a week out from the date we're calling. After interviews we have to fill out selection paperwork that has to get approved through our chain so they can forward it to HR and have them do more extensive background and reference checks and offer the person the job. If they accept we still can't even let them start until a new pay period which can be anywhere from 1-13 days (because of another bs regulation or maybe payroll isn't smart enough to know how to prorate a paycheck, who knows) and when they do finally start all employees are required to first take a 3 day indoctrination training/new employee boot camp conducted by HR. Getting a replacement in within a month would be about as quick as we could possibly hope for, and that's if the stars align and they are able to offer a candidate the job, they accept, and the calendar lines up right.

     

    at least you have a process...our management team thinks it's ok to not fill crucial positions.
