Look, the old idea that "sports builds character" is now complete nonsense. I'm not sure it was ever anything more, to be honest.

At young ages I think it still does. But these are grown ass men that take no responsibility…for anything…
 
Sport does build character. I am associated with an Under15 Rugby team and believe me these young men know what is right and what is wrong. They also are a tight knit group and support one another. Are they perfect, of course not they are teenagers. But with great coaching and a "there is no I in team" ethic. They make us proud every time they step onto the pitch to play.

I thought we were talking about football players, not politicians?
 
That is right. Vrabel traded him and no GM offered much of a return. There is something there.
Nobody wanted Brady either.

Dallas has a lot of pieces in place. Hopefully Milton gets a chance to start down there.
 
Once again I will be following up with the league to see if there is any punishment for this incident or are we going to have to wait for 2 years like in the Rice case where the league patiently has waited for "justice to run its course". This is unlike the Pats when Peppers was instantly suspended and after justice ran its course, was found innocent of the charge.

Can anyone find out WHY exactly it's taking so long for the Rice case to be adjudicated. It seems pretty cut and dried. They raced at high speeds. They caused an accident that cause nearly killed people. And then they ran away like cowards without ANY regard for the people they hurt. THAT shouldn't take 2 years to get settled. Anyone else curious, or is it just me?

As for the Bell situation. When he was drafted he wasn't anything like what I was looking for as a TE. The ONLY value I could see would be if they turned into a FB. He physical attributes seem perfect for that position. If he could be turned into a tough blocker he could be a great threat as a receiver when called upon. Sorta like the SF guy.\

Josh knows how to use a FB as he's done in some years. That's the only way I see him making the roster. Be a ST's ace who can play FB when the situation demands it.

Lampe was rated the best blocking TE in college football last season, with an 84.4 grade, and was used as a TE, H-Back, and traditional run blocking FB. He fits perfectly into the role James Develin played for the Patriots. I have Lampe, Larison, and Chism all making the 53, and taking up the specific roles Develin, Burkhead, and Edelman/Welker had in MacDaniels offense under Belichick.

I don’t believe Bell will make the 53.
