What Bills' Josh Allen said about James Cook's contract holdout
Josh Allen fully supports James Cook as hold-in continues. Allen said business side is hardest part of NFL.'This is generational stuff. It's for you & your family. He's still going through mental reps. He's a pro; he knows what he's doing. We desperately want him out there.' Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has given his thoughts on the ongoing contract situation between his team and running back James Cook. The Pro Bowl rusher has now missed five-straight training camp practices as he is holding out of workouts in an effort to get a contract extension. All Cook has said is he is not working out because of "business." The reason seems clear considering the situation has gone on for months. When asked about Cook's situation, Allen did his best to play both sides of the ledger. Allen wants Cook out on the field... but the QB understands what is going on. "He's a pro, knows what he's doing. We desperately want him out there," Allen said. Allen's full thoughts can be found in the clip below:

ACC Media Days: Boston College's Bill O'Brien Slams NCAA Chaos
Boston College head coach Bill O'Brien offered a candid take on the current state of college football during ACC Football Kickoff, contrasting it sharply with the structure of the NFL."They keep comparing it to the NFL," O'Brien said. "It's not the NFL. The NFL has a CBA, there's a union, there's an enforcement body over it. There's structure to the NFL. There's 32 teams. This is the wild, wild west."O'Brien believes change is coming-but slowly. "I think you wash it all away, I really do," he said. "In the NFL, as you guys know, there's a legal tampering period before free agency… maybe down the road there's something like that for college football. I don't know that."He added, "I'm really focused on Boston College. But I do think over the course of time, over the next four, five years it can hopefully be regulated a little bit better." Boston College went 7-6 last year but struggled down the stretch, losing five of its last eight games including a bowl defeat to year's schedule offers some relief. Between October 11 and the finale at Syracuse, BC makes only one road trip-to Louisville. Matchups against Clemson, Notre Dame, and SMU will be tough, but all are at modest roster upgrades and a history of six- and seven-win seasons, another bowl trip feels within reach.
