I think there's more to it. Seems strange that every team passed in the draft. For round 1 talent.

As of today Collins remains a non-suspect...hence the renewed interest.

Didn't Kirsty Alley and Tim Allen do a movie together about hiding out in an Amish place?
You can buy Amish made products online.
I can buy them down the street. They aren't too prevalent in Kentucky, but I see them around. Saw a bunch in a restaurant. They had to hire a driver to take them. Because they aren't allowed to drive.

I think the Aaron Hernandez situation has made teams leery of potential trouble and bad publicity.

I say he could be signed on the cheap. Someone will.

I wouldn't be opposed to that. Miami has been checking him out from what I heard.

If only there was a team that had three consecutive, compensatory picks in the seventh round that would have taken a shot on drafting him.................

True story Yi. We screwed the pooch on that one. Most 7th rounders don't make the team anyway. And he is a first round talent.

Well I am finally back from my heart attack. I miss the conversation the group had on the Fox page. I like the fact there is no trolls but I do wish this page would default to the most current page. Is there any settings that would allow for that?

So far I've escaped that problem thankfully. A full recovery to both of you. Listen to the Docs....they know what you need to avoid that.

Hope for a great wake up call for you, and full recovery. But, get all the info you can from trusted sources. There are many people who have resumed their life beautifully. And with life style modifications, things can turn out fine. Change can be a very good thing sometimes.
Take care,
Peace !

Joe barksdale-OT, Brandon Spikes-ILB, and Rob Sims-OG are all still free agents and would provide depth. I have no idea what they want money wise but at least Spikes would be a nice pickup at ILB.

I really think Chip Kelly has lost his mind...lol
that's dumb for someone who's so smart.....you can always trade up and get the first or second pick...he wasn't willing to pay the price..he said it himself.

Or you can make a trade for a future 1st round pick and have the top pick fall in your lap because the team who traded it to you sucked that year.

NEW YORK (AP) -- An NFL investigation has found that New England Patriots employees likely deflated footballs and that quarterback Tom Brady was "at least generally aware" of the rules violations.
The NFL began the investigation after the Patriots won the AFC Championship game in January, when the Indianapolis Colts complained that several footballs were under inflated.
The 243-page report released Wednesday said league investigators found no evidence that coach Bill Belichick and team management knew of the practice.

Yet another Pats SB win with an asterisk. All of them have some impropriety attached.

I put a link to the report in the Swiss room.
Appendix 2 was a trial run to replicate the taped worker. Took the investigator one run to duplicate what "may" have happened.

Think of all the things they actually got away with? They try to cheat at everything. Its mind boggling. History will not be kind to them.

Those SB wins, Tuck (they shouldn't have even been in that SB), Spygate, Deflategate are all bogus. With Goodheeeel being almost on the payroll of the owners nothing will ever happen. Oh, maybe a 7th rd draft pick will have to be forfeited? ugh

I said this months ago, give me a needle with a bleeder valve that you can buy at any sporting goods store or a million places online and with a little bit of practice I could have all the balls deflated to the same amount in the time that employee was in the restroom.

Part of the east coast bias. The blatant bias against AFC original teams, more so west coast teams is widely acknowledged, but nothing is ever done. Kind of like working for the current administration. ahem I probably shouldn't have brought that up, but giving someone dedicated to killing me the ability to do it is not in anyone's best interest but the maniacs on record for vowing to do just that. Trust those psycho's? I trust them to do just what they have vowed. Nothing less.
