I mean, Brazil uses green in the jerseys for their national team. How is this any different than Green Bay?

And he isn't a top DE either. He is a good pass rusher. His all around game isn't close to the level of the top guys. I suppose there is a parallel to be drawn there to AJE... but I am not expecting him to now suddenly start putting up double digit sack numbers.

Clayton isn't really a rugby player though. It would be like my signing for the Bills and being described as a soccer player. He played in the 8th tier of English Rugby. I played in the 7th tier of English soccer. And trust me soccer is a LOT deeper in terms of the talent pool. Clayton's tried everything. He was a pretty talented sprinter as a kid, he had trials with a couple of pro soccer clubs on the back of that speed, then he has tried boxing and rugby but as of yet what he has been is a freakishly large and athletic human who hasn't quite found a sport to harness those talents. Good call on the All Blacks though. Particularly the team between their two World Cup wins in 2011 and 2015. That 4 year period they played 61 test matches, won 56, drew 2 (both with Australia) and lost 3 (one each to England, Australia and South Africa). Richie McCaw and Dan Carter are the two best players I have ever seen play the game and then they had Sam Whitelock, Aaron Smith, Owen Franks, Ma'a Nonu who are all in contention for top 5 all time at their positions.

I think youre humping a shark

I mean...kinda writes itself...Deadpool.

Well that’s bad news for MAGA with Polymarket. WI, PA, and MI to Biden give him 270. She’s not an indicted felon yet, not that that seems to matter to people here.

Will Hunter tap Jill and try to get her hooked on crack after Demented Joe tips over? Hhmmmm?

This was his last post. He was never seen again…

I'd like to add a team to this conversation: the Cleveland Browns of the late '40s and early '50s. The Cleveland Browns began as a member of the All American Football Conference, which existed from 1946 - '49. The Browns won all four league championships, while going 47-4-3. They were incorporated into the NFL in 1950. "Eager to expose the Browns as a fraudulent dynasty, the NFL matched them against the [reigning champion] Philadelphia Eagles in a highly anticipated Saturday night standalone game to start the 1950 season. . . . The Browns walloped the Eagles, 35-10, turning the Philadelphia-stationed 'World Series of Professional Football' into a stage for Brown’s cutting-edge passing game. Browns quarterback Otto Graham threw for 346 yards, nearly tripling the Eagles’ passing yardage (118). This irked Philadelphia coach Greasy Neale, who said afterward that [head coach Paul] Brown would make 'a better basketball coach because all he does is put the ball in the air.' . . . Three months later, the Browns beat the Eagles, 13-7, without completing a pass." The Cleveland Browns went on to win the NFL Championship in 1950. They won additional NFL championships in '54 and '55. From 1950 - '58, they were 81-25-2.

Cesspool if he’s bad Chase BILLiards Claypool if he’s good

It's overblown. This is like saying "don't wear red in Crip territory!!" as if any Joe Schmoe is gonna get jumped for that alone. If you're an obvious outsider/tourist, they don't give a ***** about you. Tourists have been traveling to Brazil for decades.

1972 Lakers Wilt Chamberlain Jerry West Elgin Baylor Gail Goodrich Happy Hairston Keith Erickson Jim McMillian John Trapp Leroy Ellis Jim Cleamons Pat Riley Flynn Robinson Had we not traded AD for Billy Knight and traded Malone for $, we would have had a frontcourt of 3 HOF'ers: McAdoo, Dantley and Malone. Possibly one of the greatest ever and could have competed for titles Thank you Paul Snyder and John Why?

Hahaha perfect description of a night out with ruggers. Last time I was out with a bunch, they thought it was funny to keep handing me another full gin and tonic before I was half way done with my current one. I pretty much was slamming and two fisting G&T's until 5am lol. Yeah, the journey wont be easy, but what an athlete. I have to say the little footage they showed of his workout wowed me, his footwork didn't look like a guy who had never played the position before. So I am excited to see how he comes around.

Yeah you make good points. I will give you a scenario matrix. Scenario 1: McGovern is better at guard than center. Scenario 2: McGovern is equal at both positions. Scenario 3: McGovern is better at center than guard. Scenario A: Edwards is better than SVPG. Scenario B: the two players are equal. Scenario C : SVPG is better than Edwards. Let's say you're dealing with scenario 1C. McGovern is better at guard than center, and SVPG is better than Edwards. The solution is obvious: McGovern at guard, SVPG at center. But, let's say it's scenario 3C. Now things get more tricky. Option 1 is to put Edwards at guard and McGovern at center. You're keeping a superior player (SVPG) off the field and putting an inferior player (Edwards) on, but at least you're putting McGovern at his best spot. Option 2 is to put McGovern at guard and SVPG at center. This gets your five best OL on the field, but at the cost of putting McGovern somewhere other than where he'd be best-suited. It would be up to the coaching staff to decide which option represents the lesser of two evils. From your post, it sounds like scenario 3 is more probable than scenario 1. I wouldn't be surprised if we found ourselves in Scenario C (SVPG better than Edwards, especially later in the year). Which means the coaches might have some hard choices to make.

If they didn’t want green, the only pairing worse would be the Jets and Eagles. Great job, NFL. None of them want to be playing a game all the way in São Paulo Brazil anyway.

Bring in Bates & Butler...rattle Bass's cage a little. Since 80% of the fans want to run Claypool out with torches & pitchforks, you can never have too many wrs.

No doubt. I expected to be trading headbutts with neanderthals all night and ended up laughing my ass off with clever, fun-loving pranksters. The Clayton kid looks like a hell of an athlete but that is going to be a tough road for him with no background in the nuances of the game. If he has the patience to stick with it, even when he's getting beat like a drum occasionally, he might have a future in it.

And we got screwed by the Celtics in the playoffs

Australia has been lost.

Any team with Joe Dufek has to be on this list.

Why does the Government have to do the actual fascism/communism/totalitarianism when its corporate friends do it for them? But yep. Trump is going to trample over your rights (just to kill babies but you’ll be hard pressed to find anything else).

Yeah, they really are and they are just good people too. It would be fun and amazing if Travis Clayton can eventually make the roster here. He’s an unreal athlete too. I’ll be pulling for him.

Russian warships off the coast of Florida.. This entire war keeps escalating little by little. Enough that nobody really notices aside from those who do so for a living. We’re absolutely on our way to US troops on the front lines if this doesn’t ratchet down at some point.

I've actually partied with ruggers before. They were a boatload of fun, which was expected. What I didn't expect was how smart most of them were. Much smarter than athletes in most other sports I've run with.
