Try coconut oil on your asparagus if you want to change it up a bit--my family prefers it actually.

I'm one of the easiest marks

I like to start by sweating aromatics in whichever fat I'm using to cook the beef (usually either leaf lard, tallow, or coconut oil). Once the aromatics are translucent, I'll add my heaviest veggies and cook until they're just starting to brighten, then add the softer veggies. Once everything is brightly colored, add any greens (if using). Saute for another 30 seconds, add any sauce you may be using, and glaze for 30 more seconds. Plate.

NFL.com says Maclin ran 4.48 at the combine Interestingly enough, Zay Jones ran 4.45, and he isn't really considered a speed guy (rightly or wrongly).

Really? I wasn't a huge fan when I went there...maybe they had an off night. Then again, my mother made, quite literally, the best meatballs that ever existed. She was Italian by marriage only, but even my full-blooded Italian grandmother said that mom's meatballs were incomparable. I've tried dozens of times to make them the same as her (same recipe, and she'd given me the hands-on tutorial many times over), and yet I cannot get them precisely right. It's oddly appropriate though; sometimes those things should pass away along with the people that perfected them. Mine taste the same, but they're not quite perfect. And now back to the thread... Sign him!

That is a dramatic understatement if I've ever seen one. The 2014 Chiefs team did not have a WR that caught a TD pass. Zero TD receptions from WRs. Zero. Maclin came in the following season and caught 8. He's good.

Take him to Roost and he'll move here permanently

Sorry...snap-to-release

I'm guessing that you haven't been to La Divina

Yes

Reverse sear works well; sous vide works best IMO. However, I still do mine by searing and finishing in the oven because it's fast...and because the poke test never fails. Now, getting my wife to eat a steak that's below mid-well doneness...that's a whole different task.

I have no reason to believe this dude...no check mark and no track record that I can see Hope he's right though

We were all over those guys pre-draft. Blokes and I both had a R3 grade on Anderson. I had a R4 grade on Allison. I don't remember your grade specifically, but I know we had discussions about him.

Al Edwards maybe? I feel like this is Nate Clements

He knows. This poster had confirmation on the Mario Williams visit that Metz first reported--both guys were right (and had the info ahead of the media).

Come on now... DBs could be worse, but could just as easily be better. With a scheme change, it's entirely possible that the additions of Hyde, Poyer, and Tre White will be a better overall group than Gilmore and the garbage at safety last year LBs are probably a wash; I don't see how they get worse by going from Zach and Preston to Hodges/Ragland/LorAx. RB is probably worse with Gilly gone The OL is NOT the same; they added Dawkins in round 2, and he'll compete at RT QBs are NOT the same; they have Yates and Peterman. They'll probably be about the same in terms of performance though. WR is extremely debatable. Watkins could easily be an upgrade over his 2016 self with improved health, and I think there's hope that Zay Jones will be an upgrade over Woods. DL is the same, but I also think that it's worth noting that Shaq Lawson will likely have an actual offseason this year.

Nailed it...at Indy in the '96-'97 season I think

Honestly, the best results I've had in Toronto over the Summer were waiting until a few days before and booking online. There are sooooo many hotels, and so few of them fill to capacity. Last time Mrs. Bandit and I went, we got a beautiful room at the Metropolitan (4 blocks from Dundas Square) for less than $140/night U.S. Regular room rate was something north of $250.

Don't get me started on the !@#$ing play. Watching the whole thing unfold...motion, Brady makes some adjustments, Preston Brown immediately calls for a RAT check, and Brady knows for 100% certain that the D just checked to straight man coverage in the secondary. Gronk vs. NRC?

Ryan Fitzpatrick to Terrell Owens in Jax How about the 2nd-longest TD pass in Bills history?

I'm saying that there are players that will start for this team (like Jordan Poyer for example) that you'd be happy to trade for a 3rd round pick.

That would be disappointing for me. He's capable of much more

You're correct about the distinction, which is why I think it's even more prudent to wait on those types. Either way, I'll feel much better about the roster with Maclin and Hodges aboard

Oh I would say it's much less than that. Less than 20 IMO.

Well, he does cost additional cap space to release. Aside from that, he's one of the unnecessary signings that puts the team in a net gain of CFAs when a 3rd round comp pick should've been an easy get. I know, people marginalize the comp pick issue, but the best teams in the NFL take it seriously.
