  1. I can't see how he wouldn't be excited by the Browns. I mean, he has 5 quarterbacks throwing him the ball in Cleveland. That's like a 1:1 QB-to-WR ratio. He could see 300 targets!
  2. I didn't realize how good he's been the past two seasons. For whatever reason I thought he was still sort of mired in that cycle of injuries. Seems like a reasonable deal given his production and talent.
  3. I remember many wringing their hands over passing on Skyy Moore a few years ago and he turned out to be a wasted 2nd round pick for the Chiefs. All those resources spent at WR and the Chiefs fielded the 17th ranked offense (yes, I know Rice was hurt). Also, Royals runs a 4.42. He's not Tyreek 2.0.
  4. Watched the tape expecting to be underwhelmed, but liked what I saw. Quick. Good route runner. Kind of a Diggs-lite vibe?
  5. Finally listened to it. Thought it was refreshing. Felt Jeremy held his ground well while also remaining cordial and giving Beane time to cool off and get the discussion headed back in a more gentlemanly fashion. Don't mind the fire from Beane either. It's a tough job and he's a human being who is going to show his frustration at times.
  6. Just watched about 45 minutes of his highlights. He looks solid - certainly far better than Justin Shorter did when I watched his highlights after the draft (an all-time head scratcher pick for me). Given the WR room, he looks like he'll have a chance to stick.
  7. Tampa and Philly won their recent championships by beating the piss out of Mahomes with defense.
  8. Gotta say, I really like this draft. No shiny toys, but we likely turned both the D line and DB rooms from positions of need/weakness, to positions of strength. And I'm guessing they view Hancock as a safety.
  9. But think of how many more we'd score with a 5th round WR here.
  10. Really like what we are doing on defense in this draft. Big upgrades in athleticism.
  11. Love this pick. Got a motor and upside.
  12. Very sad. What a bittersweet day for the guy.
  13. Totally misleading thread title (and thread). Here's the exact quote from Williams himself: “Yeah, it’s kind of the same conversations I was having with the Lions," said Williams, when asked by Lions about his pre-draft meeting with the AFC East squad. "They kind of told me if I was there, they wanted me. I had talks with the head coach, d-line coach. They said they loved my game and how I played. It definitely was a possibility."
  14. I knew it sucked as soon as I couldn't find Jimmy Spags on the list.
  15. I'm a golf nut, so I loved this. Josh has definitely gotten better, but still has a little re-route over the top move that leads to those low pull draws under pressure. But man, he's got good hands on the short game and he can putt. He'll be a scratch or plus capper when his gridiron days are over.
  16. I was just about to type this, so thank you. We probably win 2 Super Bowls with a good coaching staff.
  17. It doesn't seem as if he's passing judgment on THC or it's users - just noting society's changing views on the topic. That's great for your friend's daughter. I have a friend who's been battling glioblastoma for 6 years and he claims that his CBD/THC use has saved his life. When I was a kid undergoing rounds of chemo at Roswell, they'd often give me marinol as an antiemetic (made me high as F, but at least I could eat), so it's not as if the medical establishment hasn't known of the virtues of THC/CBD use for decades.
  18. Lol. Erowid.org. I spent way too much time on that site as a late teen reading about experiences and then trying to recreate them. 😄
  19. I can only remember back to about 1986, so I'll say Odomes, White and Winfield as my top three in any order. Clements and Gilmore right behind them as superbly talented guys who never quite fully met expectations during their time with the team. McGee as an honorable mention.
  20. Bingo. After years of renting, we just bought an old 1950s tract home in a "working class" (aka hood) neighborhood for $520/sqft. And I feel incredibly lucky because it was $100-$200/sqft cheaper than virtually every other home in our area. Our house would probably be $150-225k in a place like Cheektowaga.
  21. I really hope the fans are gracious and welcoming. Diggs was a PITA at times, but he brought a ton of excitement and he really did help Allen grow into the quarterback that he is today.
  22. Don't get me wrong, I'd love a stud receiver (or two), but let's not pretend our WR room is why we haven't made a Super Bowl. It's some combination of defensive talent/coaching.
  23. His days as a No. 1 are long gone. Depending on how well his body holds up, I can see him still being a good slot guy for another couple of years. He's a great route runner and a dawg (when he wants it).
  24. As someone who attended a bigtime college sports school in the 90's, knew many athletes and a lot of the girls who had interactions with them, I can say with certainty that there were a few BMOCs who thought they were entitled to sex with whomever they wanted and often pushed various lengths past what we'd consider "consent" today.
  25. I mean, I'm sure it happens, but it remains that 92% of rape cases are not proven false. My wife worked in a rape crisis center. She dealt with young woman after young woman in extreme emotional distress with clear physical evidence of rape/abuse. These women should always be made to feel safe to report their attacks.
