NoSaint

But with skydiver heading it up, we have a chance at reasonable college football talk, no?

Cooks has a pretty dicey off field reputation. He was dealt by the saints due to attitude issues I suspect he might not have been their type of guy... the saints WRs definitely threw shade at the guy via twitter before and after he left

Id imagine that the team would be obligated to tell the league of a possible rape situation.

I’ll throw in doomtree, Aesop, Noname, and lyrics born as a couple others that slip in my playlists lately along side yours and the post you quoted

I get it and even if Rosen thrives in AZ and Rosen struggles here doesn’t mean the same would happen flipped.... fit is huge. but in this huge hypothetical in the OP, it was concussion plus family money causing early retirement- and that personality didn’t bother them and the thought Rosen was a better player.

Its likewise my hope that they took the player they preferred on the field based on skill.

I would be fine on a tie breaker but if the OP claim that Rosen was otherwise rated higher is true how would you feel?

Great week on this front. That Eddie George painting was almost is excellent

I don’t disagree widely. But think it’s innaccurate to frame it like it was just shuffling picks. I even neglected tyrod in my list of resources given up. Your starting QB, WR1, CB1, and LT is a pretty hefty chunk to obtain draft capital. If you listed the top 5 important positions, add DE in there, and we dealt starters at 4 out of 5 in 6(?) months. I’d guess that’s realitively unheard of... not crazy over the top costs but not nothing either. i also agree that they liked Tre but don’t think they were banking on a historic type of season from him.

if true, and a huge if, it would be a big gut shot to hear the bills passed on a qb that they rated higher as a player, given how rare it is to find one skilled enoughto succeed. that it was his fathers finances in a substantial part seems particularly silly when any guy they draft is getting like $20m guaranteed.

Of course it did cost more than just existing draft capital, as we no longer have our pro bowl LT, a good young corner, a good young wr (admittedly likely gone this year regardless).... and I don’t think even beane expected Tre to play so close to lattimore so there may have been a little luck too if the hit on the qb nothing else matters but if we miss, the “we barely gave up anything” narratives going to potentially sink quickly

He will be wearing 99, with tape over the name plate

Are the gifs an every post thing now?

Is it a witch hunt to acknowledge that he might be involved in the incident but we will have to see how it plays out? How many folks are storming his house with pitch forks?

In the list of things we assume we know that would really rock how some folks see the world if proven wrong .... if someday it was found that OJ didn’t do it and it was really some random white dude.... what would be a bigger tabloid/crime story?

Through the years I’ve seen both approaches work. Outside buffalo how often do Nfl fans talk about marshawn lynch hitting a woman with his car? hell, with this very lawyer - both Ray Lewis and Big Ben made it through relatively well. STELLAR legally, and both successful nfl careers that weren’t centered around the allegations. i see your point but defer to this world class expert lawyer that’s wildly successful with managing high profile cases.

From your link....

Anything ground up in the freezer?

Do you have the ability to sous vide?

I suspect that media tsunami is overstated. Outside of here and pft (and other nfl sources in their dead season).... I haven’t seen a ton. Even other sports boards i skim had it pop up for the initial twitter post and then totally fall off. The story will wither on the vine if they don’t create headlines and no bombshells come out. I might be in a bubble, but I suspect the world at large cares far less than this thread would lead you to believe.... until there’s something credible. If police throw up theirs hands in a month and say “still no proof” it’ll be gone by opening day and just be one of those “I never liked that guy” discussion pieces in some circles.

It doesn’t seem anyone has implied shady was actually in the House. there may be something to be said for the “unless someone can tie my client to this in any way shape or form, we are going to avoid this clown show” approach.

I tried to get back on board with you being funny 26, but you are making it so hard! And yet, this thread is still better than a serious discussion of the OP

You’ve redeemed yourself. But that spiller joke needs to be retired quicker than CJ does

And now we know why links are your specialty.... ?

Hot take response: do you think it’s more likely that shady is no better than his backups or that defenses key in on him?
