Well, I guess I’d better not suggest anything else. That happened to me in Little League with a crazy coach! My father wouldn’t stand up for me, so I quit football. I signed up for baseball, and I’ll be damned if the same guy didn’t coach there too, and he drafted me again. I was not super special, I think he just liked to torment me. 😂 EDIT: Not every kid needs a grown man to get in his face and scream at him and thump him on his earhole as a 5th grader. Please just tell me what you want. Wouldn’t that be easier? .

That explains a lot. Do you still hear the ringing? That might be important.

That’s actually very funny. My son could have played college football or soccer. He played neither in college, but they played everything growing up. We didn’t let them play football until HS. While football was my favorite sport, I was always worried about injuries. It was a well founded fear, as he tore his ACL and MCL in Spring ball then got a nasty stinger as a senior. The stinger caused him to go to an orthopedic guy a decade later. That’s saying nothing about the ice baths on Friday nights. I can’t imagine the wear and tear on a body after a decade in the NFL. Oh, and soccer was my favorite sport as a parent. Basketball is everyone screaming at the refs, baseball and weightlifting will kill you with boredom, and football was the fear of injury for the QB who was the offense on almost every play. The soccer parents were very close and some became great friends. .

Doesn’t this just make you crave seeing some actual football??? They just keep toying with us! The schedule comes out in a couple weeks, and I’m already looking forward to it. As much as I dislike some aspects of the league’s decisions, I must admit they are absolute masters of keeping our attention. Now they are going to steal Christmas from the NBA with 3 NFL games. They know how to stay front and center, and with that comes more $$$$$. It’s a MasterClass.

Like the Bengals, you can’t just pay everybody without consequences. …..and it’s a beautiful thing.

Ahh, shades of Louisville basketball back in the day.

My wife is from Rock Hill, SC (right cross the border and home to several NFL players), and she has a ton of family in Charlotte. I spent a week every summer for almost a decade in Chapel Hill taking the kids to UNC basketball camps. It’s a great area, no doubt. But the real entertainment here is the idea of Bill Belichick groveling for the services of some 17 year old kid. I wonder is his GF helps him with recruiting?

Be glad she doesn’t have (grand)daddy issues.

Do they have to get married to get around the Trademark?

I’m making my decision now, with more information. I like what I’ve seen of his blocking…..a lot. It’s no longer last week.

Anything anyone would recommend?

You know nothing about him, but you prefer the other guy. Interesting.

I think it’s common knowledge that blues music is the favorite music genre of vampires everywhere. I read that somewhere. Or maybe wrote it. I’ll try to find some of her work that does not involve vampires, it’s just not my thing. Serious question, is there another movie of hers people might recommend? I would like to see her in action.

If the questions won’t be answered anyway, I’d rather watch her tell me that. Just sayin’….. I’m not one to judge, but I’m glad that’s not my daughter.

You made me look it up, and they are both 32 5/8”. Lundt is a bit taller, but it’s funny how these narratives get started.

I’m not sure how good they will be, but they are better than sports talk radio in Buffalo. When I come back for a game my rental car is often on WGR. I can only take so much of that.

Oh Holy Hell, you’re worse than the burial grounds!!! You bat .1000! 😂

They learned at the combine that Deone Walker had a stress fracture in his back. They say his 2023 film was of a 1st round pick, but he fell off some last year and we got him in the 4th. I’ll take a shot on that in the 4th, but not much sooner.

Do you think it’s possible they were hoping for Dont’e Thornton Jr at #109 but he went to the Raiders the pick before us, so we went with Walker? I don’t pretend to know if that would have been the right move, but he sounds like the field stretcher we are seeking. I’m sure every draft has twists and turns like that. Being in the war room for a draft might be the coolest ”sporting event” I can think of attending. They always say all the right things at the podium, but you know there’s got to be some things that went wrong at the last minute. .

It’s funny, he looks slow and lumbering, but there he is making play after play in the SEC. 🤷‍♂️

In college I went with a buddy to look into a side job delivering newspapers to various vending boxes around town. As the guy explained the gig to us, visions of people like you appeared in our minds. We never went back. You’d probably stand there and sell the whole pile for $0.10 each. .

HBD! Don’t be down about not getting drafted. I’m sure you will be a priority FA.

I firmly believe we will lead the AFC in rebounding again.

Bond may be on the receiving end in jail. .

Giants with bad backs scare me….in earlier rounds.
