Holy S, this leadup to Draft is effin nuts and Bills are smack dab in the middle of it. Don’t think I would be sleeping tonight if I was Beane. Pressure is mounting.

Okay, now that would be (frank)ing funny. His nickname could be "Brent Musberger".

Not to be insensitive....but what "bro" hasn't said a racial slur now and again? But I get your point...even if the dude jokingly said it around his friends....putting that poop on the internet (even when social media was just starting out) was pretty (frank)ing stupid.


HOWEVER...it has literally 0 effect on his ability to play football and his outlook and maturity at this point. Any NFL team that passes on him because of this cares more about the PC police than it does winning.

Yep and yep. It does, however, affect his image and sponsors might not be leaping at the chance to endorse him or his team. The NFL is just as much about business as it is about football. Look at what Pegula said about having a racial ambassador because the owners are so concerned about ratings.

I agree in principle. However, if this is what it takes to get the Bills to pass on Josh Allen, I guess I'm all for it.

Pegula's delivery of those comments was closer to nails on a chalkboard than not, but I can't imagine a PR professional suggesting much different.

My advice would’ve been to not broach the subject in the first place.

Yeah, more about the sentiment than the substance, which was awkward at best. But that's who he is, awkwardness incarnate.

The owners are really worried. They're actually trying to make Thursday night real football instead of the color rush and everyone gets a spin.

I think that was more driven by Fox buying the TV rights to that package, but I don't doubt that played a part.

It’s almost like TNF and MNF switched places this year. Heard it is reallyNFC heavy with Fox having the contract.

ESPN is also shuffling college announcers (Sean McDonaugh out, Joe Tessitore in) for it and hasn't even announced a replacement for Gruden yet. Monday Night is definitely going to be the inferior set of games.

Don’t know Tessitore, but McDonaugh was slightly worse than Tirico. Patrick, Theismann and Maguire were top notch.

If Tessitore is who I'm thinking of he's pretty good.

I'm not a Twitter expert but I thought you can't edit tweets? You have to delete and start over. Like a certain someone does from the sh¡tter at 6:00am

I just remember the radio interview he did last year during Bills training camp. I honestly thought I dropped the stream a few times there was so much dead air. And when he did talk it was almost inaudible.
