This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

the most underrated part of that trade by irishrock
was that the Bills HC, McDermott, was an assistant under Reid and credited Reid with a lot of his success. So the Chiefs worked out the trade for the 10th pick before the draft and had it set up weeks before the draft. Draft pick terms were already agreed to...it just depended on Mahomes being available.
Supposedly, the Saints were very interested in taking him with the following pick at 11. Texans were evidently interested in taking Mahomes with their pick in the 24 range...then we took Mahomes and they traded up to 12 to take Watson.
