  1. As a "U" fan, I'm all for filling our backfield with all their former backs!
  2. McGahee for sure. How could you not love this guy, he's hilarious. Intelligence is way underrated too.
  3. Yeah, this kid stands out for sure. There are a few RBs I like in this draft, he's definitely one of them. I mean, in reality the teams in these conferences face 2 or 3 good defenses a year. It's not like they are top to bottom stellar defenses or anything. I mean, the Big12 sucks at defense top to bottom. There really isn't that big of a difference unless you are going up against Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State and maybe one or two more per conference. And even then, you don't necessarily play against all those teams in your conference. Remember too, he's also playing behind a much worse line than you get with those schools.
  4. No, only the ones in which I have direct knowledge are doing this. Uber and Lyft are two of those. And believe me, it was at all feasible for me professionally, I would go back to the landline with an answering machine. Ask any coder/software engineer worth anything what they think about all these smart devices. Many of them develop them, but avoid using them as much as possible. But, this is now gone off the rails. Was just trying to educate regarding something that was shocking to me when I found out. Do what you will with it. I don't really give a sh*t.
  5. I work in software my man. I am well aware. I am also well aware that you can program/code around that undetected pretty easily.
  6. The naivety of what enormous corporations are doing collecting data and utilization of that data to influence your decisions is baffling to me....but whatever. Its all rainbows, sunshine, and unicorns in your world I guess. Cool.
  7. Maybe, but you very well may be giving them permission to your mic, camera, photos, etc. To each their own, but I'm not a fan.
  8. Uber and Lyft are well known in the Bay area software space to not be ride sharing companies. They are data collection companies. They take all the permissions you give them and collect as much data as they can about you. Where you go, when you go, where you live, etc. What they do with it, who knows? But I'm guessing they are selling it to others. All I know is that I download the app only when I need and then delete it immediately after I'm done. Every time.
  9. What, overpaying a guy from one great performance? Where have we seen that before (i'm looking at you Rob Johnson and kinda at you too Fitzy).
  10. Yes, that is right.
  11. Lobster bisque.
  12. Hum...always felt that mortified was a much stronger word than simple embarrassment. Guess I was off a bit, fair enough.
  13. To say Generation Z'ers are over-dramatic may be the understatement of the century. "Mortified" over it, g the f outta here.
  14. Cutting this guy was the best thing to ever happen to him. Now he gets it, it seems.
  15. His release is sooooo slow though. Glaringly so.
  16. Simple, they know they cannot afford to re-sign him to a new deal and they would rather get some assets for him than let him walk out the door with them getting nothing back for him.
  17. Auburn was run heavy offense when he was there. If you watched the games though, his talent still stood out and he made some tremendous plays. I clearly remember being "wow'd" by him numerous times.
  18. A lot of mine were covered already. But I'll offer up Back to the Future II as a good one. Huge Super Troopers fan, but I heard the second one was horrendous. Haven't checked it out because of that though.
  19. For all we know the Jets are just in it to drive up the price for the Bills as well.
  20. Honest question...who has been in the year for 4+ years and hasn't battled injuries? I would suspect that list is pretty small. That is why you don't overpay for "elite" FAs and then you have the money to build solid depth just in case.
  21. Yeah, this list really looks like a good indicator of NFL success. One good player on that list, and he is last on it. Hell, I've only ever heard of 3 of them.
  22. The best teams get their elite talent via the draft and retain them. They don't pay an extra 50% on guys because they are paying the FA premium rates. And, curious, what happens when the team invests all that money on elite talent FAs and then they get hurt and you couldn't afford proper depth? Short answer, you are screwed.
  23. So, who exactly said that AB spit in our face? Seems to me that all the people involved say the Bills walked away. The only ones saying otherwise are pundits who are making assumptions, not stating facts. And guess what, these guy depend on clicks and hot takes to remain relevant. Saying AB refused is a much more attractive story line for them.
  24. I think Zay is a dead man walking. Williams, Brown, Beasley...the writing is certainly on the wall for him.
