They had all game for it to be fair. It's called winning it in regulation. Don't like OT rules, then win it in regulation.

Wes was our HS QB. Had a pretty good run in '96.

What am I missing here. He was terrible in Buffalo, he was terrible in Jacksonville. Why does this guy keep getting hired?

Thought Preston Brown was a below average player up until this moment. After this, I hated him.

No reason to cut McCoy. No reason to keep Clay. Clay has actually LOST us games. He hurts the team more than helps it.

Elmwood Collision in Kenmore is my spot. 3 man shop where 2 are the owners. Good guys. Little out of the way, but I'd take that over 10+ location Corruba Collision where you get some low wage mechanic doing the work any day of the week.

If season 2 was its own show with its own name then people would have liked it just fine. It's seen in a negative light only because of the unrealistic expectations people had after season 1. It really wasn't bad at all in retrospect.

I don't know man, I could hardly watch when the Refs were scabs, much less the players.

Well, since Blind Melon was brought up. Huge fan, I think they are one of the most underrated bands ever. That first album is exquisite on so many levels. This tune on it (which never really stood out to me for 20 years) has really spoken to me lately for some reason.

Usually compilations like this are terrible. But this one is very well done, with a great variety, great editing, and a very easy way to waste 30 mins on a weekend morning.

No love for Marcus Easley?

No F'n way. There are two ways to win in this league as I see it. 1. Have one of the best QBs around and pay them what they deserve. Brady, Rogers, Brees, that level of guy. 2. Hit on a young QB in their rookie deal that is "good enough" and spend on talent around them while they are still cheap. If he really shines you sign him to money referred to in point #1 and ride him for 10 more years. 2b. Get a good, cheap back-up/journeyman type that could also potentially thrive surrounded by the right talent, or just have a magical season like the Vikings last year (or Foles). There is no "overpay for mediocre at best QBs at the expense of the rest of the roster's talent and then go win a Super Bowl."

Mahomes had a fantastic year, no doubt. The question is whether he will be able to maintain it when teams have a whole year of tape on him and their offense and then further down the road when he's making $30+M / year against the cap and they cannot surround him such a high level of talent that they have now. Time will tell.

Was just listed officially at 5'11" for the mlb draft. Madrigal who is 5'7" and was drafted #4 overall is noticeably much, much smaller. I remember hearing the exact same type of things about Mayfield last year too...well, not 5'6, but you get the point.

Cool video. I have a feeling these guys might become famous.

This is not true at all. With the success of Mayfield this year and Murray's performance, I believe he will be #1 overall IF he makes it clear that he is football focused only and not trying to play baseball as well. He is better than any other QB in this draft and there will be a team willing to trade up for him. Again, only IF he says he is playing football only.

Speed and hands.

Pappy's are 15 years and older. Their "low end" is Old Rip Van Winkle, it's 10 years and ONLY $500 if you can find it. It will be interesting to see how being bought by Buffalo Trace will impact the supply. Part of the reason the price is so high is because it is rare, if Buffalo Trace significantly increases supply it could go down considerably. They started making it 2002 so what they have made is already aged and bottled but no real impact yet but it still hasn't hit the real high end stuff yet.

My current stock in order of preference 1. Hillrock Rye 2. Lagavulin 16 3. Blanton's Single Barrel 4. Jefferson's Reserve Very Old Very Small Batch 5. Glenlivet 15 French Oak Reserve 6. Four Roses Single Barrel 7. IW Harper 15 Bourbon 8. Stagg Jr. Barrel Proof 9. Basil Hayden's Bourbon If you haven't had the Hillrock Rye, buy it. It's worth every penny. Always neat.

Legal in Amsterdam...had some, went to Van Gogh museum...mind blown. Granted, I've had previous experience. Would not recommend that for a first timer.

I love the one when Greg Maddux pranks Kris Bryant. Bryant had done something similar to what Goff did a few years back. Then, The Professor decided to get him back. He was an audio guy and Bryant was filming a promotional video of some sort. The guy throwing BP had to bail and Maddux volunteered to take over for him. Bryant tried to say no thanks but got convinced to let him. Then he couldn't make any solid contact at all against a 50 something year old Maddux. All while Maddux was talking trash and Bryant was getting noticeably frustrated. Clearly impressed by Maddux, Bryant would make comments like "is this guy serious?" regarding the quality of the pitches. It was great. If you want to check it out:

I watched Lock numerous times this year. He is, quite simply, not good. I have a feeling he's not even going to be a first rounder. I just can't see where all the hype on this kid is coming from. Teams are going to see through the mirage when they start looking closely.

The buffalo stampede noise was soooo much better with the video of a stampede on the big screen.

Whoosh!

Yep, that's the logical culprit. I would be shocked with this regime, not at all with the last. These guys seem, to me at least, to be on the up and up in all aspects of their lives.
