I'd be interested to see some hard numbers on what he truly cost the NFL.

Ratings are money over that period of time when viwership tanked, but I would like to see the numbers myself. Kap misplayed his hand badly. The fans are mostly white conservatives that go to games or watch to escape politics. Kap should have thought about this beforehand. He is better than a lot of the backups in the league, but he pissed off a lot of folks with his politics. I think he just has to wait a bit til he gets back in the league.

Ratings were already taking a hit unrelated to CK

Maybe,IMHO on the CK thing. Yes it's money to the owners "collusion" no. Negative press without a doubt.MTK you might get mad but I think the fact that he isn't that good of a QB is he worth the time and aggravation and disruption to the team,no.The NFL is a private organization(a private company)if it wants to put a clause in my contract or the NFL Collective Bargaining agreement they can.I think rule #41 something (or around there) says conduct "detrimental to the League"can be punishable.If he wants to fight for a cause or beat his chest ...fine, all for it and is it his right,yes, on his own time,not someone else's.

Let's not try to explain away the dog fighting/killing, it was inexcusable.

I wasn't, just giving a possible reason a few people don't find it as offensive as others do.

ugh...Kap, Vick. yucky topic. Just headache guys.


Changing it up...how about Scot MccCloughan joined twitter last week...and he's great.

https://twitter.com/MccloughanScot

Read through, good question/answers from him. Like a couple responses:

@MccloughanScot if you had the 1st pick in the draft, and could sign Kirk Cousins or draft a qb. What would you do?

Scot Mccloughan :

I'd take a pass rusher


Big fan Scot do you think the 2018 quarterback draft is similar to the 1983 QB draft/Who are the top QB's this year?


Scot Mccloughan

Yes...a lot of talent this year

During your years with the Skins who did u miss out on in the draft because he was taken right before u picked?

Scot Mccloughan

Ryan Kelly the center from Alabama

wish we could've grabbed him...he's got to be better than what Long is doing.

I know Long is changing positions, but you hope at some point he starts to show a little more.

Jordan Matthews has a chip fracture in his sternum – ProFootballTalk

LOL that's like buying a lemon at the dealer... Man the Bills have the worst luck. I'd hate to be a fan of them. I live here now and I feel bad for the fans

I think it is just bad luck, because I don't think Jordan Matthews was known to be an injury-prone player.

Brandon Beane doesn’t want to hear that the Bills are tanking – ProFootballTalk
