Anyone have stats that ranks our BF drafts based on current performance? I'm not even sure my guys are still alive -- nm - oblique Nov 21, 12:22 3
- your draft day projection said you would finish 8 and 5 -- nm - crash davis Nov 21, 12:23 2
  - if you hit draft day projections now, they have you at 9 and 4, of course it also has dp3 winning with David in second - crash davis Nov 21, 12:25
  - flip it around and I'll nail the 8 part of 5 and 8 tonight -- nm - oblique Nov 21, 12:24
I see an issue arising for the players who play in States where marijuana is legal. Forbidding a legal activity? I know their contracts don't allow - jnine Nov 21, 12:16 9
- But how would that work if they're playing in a state where it's not legal? -- nm - Meg Nov 21, 12:25 2
  - whether a state treats it as legal or not is immaterial, what matters is that the NFL has collectively bargained that it's not for employment purposes -- nm - ML Nov 21, 12:27 1
    - Right, but it was illegal when that contract was entered into. It isn't illegal everywhere anymore. -- nm - jnine Nov 21, 12:33
- I think their playing in the league and the league's current dictates would supercede what any outside doctor would determine necessary. -- nm - Diva Nov 21, 12:19 5
  - The 9th Circuit may not go that way. Of course, they go their own way. -- nm - jnine Nov 21, 12:20 4
    - *cue Lindsay Buckingham guitar solo* -- nm - crash davis Nov 21, 12:21 3
      - ~Loving you...it isn't the right thing to do...~ -- nm - Diva Nov 21, 12:27
      - I'll never forgive him for Tusk. I had to listen to it endlessly Saturday night, with the chorus UCLA sucks. Thanks Lindsay. -- nm - jnine Nov 21, 12:23 1

I do not partake of that substance. But I fully support the NFL players who do. Better that than get strung out on opiods. Just my opinion - crash davis Nov 21, 12:15 3
- that IM gets teh Russell doll another sticky-poo... -- nm - Diva Nov 21, 12:16 2
  - following last week's Patriot game, Russell Wilson now has highest road passer rating in modern era -- (link) - crash davis Nov 21, 12:20 1
    - He can tell that to the gypsy he'll need to be apologizing to. -- nm - Diva Nov 21, 12:26
bet he enjoyed that rainbow more than most. -- nm - Diva Nov 21, 12:13
