It

Jets about to put in work this season. If we can stay .500 till the BYE, who knows...

It was fun when a team finally challenged the Pats and Rex was super cocky. I'd love to see it again

 

[jjs07]

Quick Skins notes...

1. Amerson has looked really good.

2. Silas Redd has been impressive.

3. Seastrunk has been catching everything out of the backfield.

I'm on the Amerson train from day one. Where's Dre?

 

[Hahahaha]

I think the Jets make the playoffs. I really don't understand why they didn't get DeSean.

Yup...you have.

No joke, I think Amerson is going to have a good year. He played well as a rookie, and if he can keep his health, he'll most likely be matched up against #1's this season.

Trufant, Amerson, and Milliner will all grow leaps and bounds in year two. I feel it.

Eagles are dumb as hell for letting him go in the division. I still don't get their thinking on that.

 

[Hahahaha]

Will Hill to the Ravens. That kid is nice, he needs to get it together though.

 

[Retto]

Yea that's def. another 'win' for Ozzie Newsome && Co. if Hill cleans up his act.

I still can't cosign this move because of that and receiving no compensation in return.

Maybe it fixes any chemistry issues we had.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — A Buffalo Bills prospective ownership group that includes rocker Jon Bon Jovi has conducted a feasibility study into buying the NFL franchise and building a stadium in Toronto, a person close to the situation said.

The study identified at least three potential stadium sites, two in Toronto, including one on the waterfront, and another in the suburb of Mississauga, the person told The Associated Press on Thursday. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because Bon Jovi and his partners, Larry Tanenbaum and the Rogers family, have not publicly revealed details of their plans to purchase the team.

Andy Bergmann, responsible for overseeing the Bon Jovi group's stadium plans, confirmed Thursday in an email to the AP that his company has conducted stadium studies, "but nothing related to any specific site."

Toronto is within 90 miles of Buffalo and considered Buffalo's NFL territory. Moving the team there might not be considered relocation.

Ozzie has been slippin lately, but I think this one will work out for him. Can't wait to see what Moseley looks like and Flacco connecting with the law firm !

Today is not a good day for Stephen A

 

[mr marcus]

he should've just kept quiet......it's a battle you just won't win.....some females really think they can do anything and a man should just take it....beating one down is extreme but some folks can't control their anger 

I advise all men to dump a chick on the curb if she exhibit that type of behavior. It's not worth getting caught up and getting that rep

and Beadle is a piece of **** for curving it to rape when he wasn't even talking about that

didn't watch it but from tweets it seemed like he defended Rice a little by saying women shouldn't provoke men

and then Beadle went to twitter to cry about her being raped.....took that **** a whole different direction

What happened??

Was speaking on the Ray Rice situation and started to talk about what woman possibly provoking and how they can help prevent these situations

It's not about him, then. It's about you, and here's what I mean by that. We keep talking about the guys. We know you have no business putting your hands on a woman. I don't know how many times I got to reiterate that. But as a man who was raised by women, see I know what I'm going to do if somebody touches a female member of my family. I know what I'm going to do, I know what my boys are going to do. I know what, I'm going to have to remind myself that I work for the Worldwide Leader, I'm going to have to get law enforcement officials involved because of what I'm going to be tempted to do. But what I've tried to employ the female members of my family, some of who you all met and talked to and what have you, is that again, and this what, I've done this all my life, let's make sure we don't do anything to provoke wrong actions, because if I come, or somebody else come, whether it's law enforcement officials, your brother or the fellas that you know, if we come after somebody has put their hands on you, it doesn't negate the fact that they already put their hands on you. So let's try to make sure that we can do our part in making sure that that doesn't happen. Now you got some dudes that are just horrible and they're going to do it anyway, and there's never an excuse to put your hands on a woman. But domestic violence or whatever the case may be, with men putting their hands on women, is obviously a very real, real issue in our society. And I think that just talking about what guys shouldn't do, we got to also make sure that you can do your part to do whatever you can do to make, to try to make sure it doesn't happen. We know they're wrong. We know they're criminals. We know they probably deserve to be in jail. In Ray Rice's case, he probably deserves more than a 2-game suspension which we both acknowledged. But at the same time, we also have to make sure that we learn as much as we can about elements of provocation. Not that there's real provocation, but the elements of provocation, you got to make sure that you address them, because we've got to do is do what we can to try to prevent the situation from happening in any way. And I don't think that's broached enough, is all I'm saying. No point of blame.

Then Beadle started to throw shots and he's been defending himself on twitter and radio ever since.

Michelle Beadle @MichelleDBeadle  ·  4h

So I was just forced to watch this morning's First Take. A) I'll never feel clean again B) I'm now aware that I can provoke my own beating.

Michelle Beadle @MichelleDBeadle  ·  4h

I'm thinking about wearing a miniskirt this weekend...I'd hate to think what I'd be asking for by doing so @stephenasmith. #dontprovoke

Michelle Beadle @MichelleDBeadle  ·  3h

I was in an abusive relationship once. I'm aware that men & women can both be the abuser. To spread a message that we not 'provoke' is wrong

Michelle Beadle @MichelleDBeadle  ·  3h

Violence isn't the victim's issue. It's the abuser's. To insinuate otherwise is irresponsible and disgusting. Walk. Away.

This will be a long tweeted message, folks. So please stay with me and let me finish my complete thought before responding...b/c i'm ANNOYED

Stephen A Smith        [emoji]10004[/emoji] @stephenasmith Follow

In discussing the Ray Rice ruling earlier today on @ESPN_FirstTake, me and @RealSkipBayless ventured into discussing domestic violence.

Stephen A Smith        [emoji]10004[/emoji] @stephenasmith Follow

Upon hearing what I had to say, although admitting I could've been more articulate on the matter, let me be clear: I don't understand how on

Stephen A Smith        [emoji]10004[/emoji] @stephenasmith Follow

earth someone could interpret that I somehow was saying women are to blame for domestic violence. And when I saw @MichelleDBeadle -- a

Stephen A Smith        [emoji]10004[/emoji] @stephenasmith Follow

colleague I have profound respect for -- tweet what she tweeted, enough is enough. Something needs to be said right now. REPEATEDLY i said:

11:10 AM - 25 Jul 2014

Stephen A Smith        [emoji]10004[/emoji] @stephenasmith Follow
There is absolutely no excuse to put your hands on a women. REPEATEDLY, I said dudes who do that need to be dealt with. REPEATEDLY, I echoed

Stephen A Smith        [emoji]10004[/emoji] @stephenasmith Follow

when confronted by it in the past -- when someone was stupid enough to touch a loved one of this man, raised by 4 older sisters, a mom and

Stephen A Smith        [emoji]10004[/emoji] @stephenasmith Follow

numerous female relatives and loved ones, that man was dealt with. From that point, I simply asked: now what about the other side.

Stephen A Smith        [emoji]10004[/emoji] @stephenasmith Follow

If a man is pathetic and stupid enough to put his hands on a woman -- which I have NEVER DONE, btw -- of course he needs to pay the price.

Stephen A Smith        [emoji]10004[/emoji] @stephenasmith Follow

Who on earth is denying that? But what about addressing women on how they can help prevent the obvious wrong being done upon them?

Stephen A Smith        [emoji]10004[/emoji] @stephenasmith Follow

In no way was I accusing a women of being wrong. I was simply saying what that preventive measures always need to be addressed because

Stephen A Smith        [emoji]10004[/emoji] @stephenasmith Follow

there's only but so much that can be done after the fact....once the damage is already done. Nothing more. My apologies to @MichelleDBeadle

11:17 AM - 25 Jul 2014

Stephen A Smith        [emoji]10004[/emoji] @stephenasmith Follow
And any woman out there who misconstrued what I said. I have always -- and will always -- find violence against a women every bit as

Stephen A Smith        [emoji]10004[/emoji] @stephenasmith Follow

horrific as women, themselves, find it. Always have. Always will, which my personal behavior exemplifies. I'll strive to be more articulate

Stephen A Smith        [emoji]10004[/emoji] @stephenasmith Follow

in the future. But be clear, I wasn't BLAMING women for anything. I was simply saying to take all things into consideration for preventative

Stephen A Smith        [emoji]10004[/emoji] @stephenasmith Follow

purposes. Period.

Thank you both for the update.  Tried to tell dudes awhile back when Beadle posted that "blackface" picture that ***** is no good.  She clearly has an agenda, and unfortunately Stephen A. Smith was on the receiving end of it today.  She knows exactly what she is trying to do. 

Stephen A. Smith was right in that as a society if we are going to hold men accountable in domestic abuse/violence situations then women need to be held accountable as well. 

 

[bravelude]

Michelle beaddle is stupid. Let her wear provocTively and see whats up.

steohen A is cool, getd paid to say things that trigger drama just like wrestling. its not all fake, yet, not all real either.

Stehphen A schooled her, its obvoius we understood what he meant. but peeps seriously cant comprehend.

 

[Deleted member 37754]

[COLOR=#red]So Beadle was provoking the sh-t out of him? Got it.

All jokes aside, she probably shouldn't be like most females and pick and choose what she hears. Take in the entire thing that Stephen A. said. He didn't say anything wrong. [/COLOR]
