As I recall he was a malcontent that even the Jets didn't think was worth the baggage. I'll file this under high hopes but low expectations.

Maybe it wasn't "these clowns" but "all of the clowns" (including TBD and points beyond). Can't imagine Beane is a a tortoise in a shell, my guess is he was genuinely incredulous or taken aback by criticism of a draft he was very happy with. With that said, not a great look for a GM.

Rabbits have been very active the past few weeks and I saw one building a nest the other day. Have also seen a hawk a few times. For anyone who remembers The Far Side: Trouble brewing!

Agreed, but the part that confounds me is that his son took the number. I'm torn reconciling feeling bad this happened to Ulbricht with the fact that he raised the kid.

Bullspit. The team that scores the most points wins the championships.

I had to look this up, but nobody cares that the Patriots drafted Adrian Klemm (G) in the second round of the 2000 draft when Brady was still on the board.

LAMP: happy with this pick cuz my son goes to VT. Hope he pans out, it's fun to have an extra rooting interest in a player. EDIT: double dip, drafted Kaden Prather from UMD where my other son just graduated. Good times.

Dr. Demento, awesome! Whenever I hear that name I'm reminded of:

Not sure if this extends to the front office but don't underestimate the hate the Saints fan base has for his father who came up with the Falcons.

I know nothing and appreciate both the positive and negative takes. Tougher to read the negatives but when you consider that the experts that actually get paid to make the choices are often wrong it's easier to take the negative and positive with the same grain of salt.

My enduring memory of Ferguson was watching him come off the field after a failed play p!ssed off and angrily pulling off the chin strap on his helmet. Loved his competitive fire but in the end he was a pretty damn good QB playing in an era of great QBs.

Doomsday scenario is for unforeseeable circumstances the Bills make no picks whatsoever. Are we still a playoff team? Superbowl contender?

It was a scheduled event that I had no idea about. He was sitting at a table signing stuff, taking pictures and he was totally chill.

Gee our old LaSalle ran great!

@Another Fan @ExWNYer @Gugny Had to run up to Home Depot this morning to pick up a toilet part and decided to throw on my Mets hat. Found the part and was going to check out when they announced over the intercom that Dwight Gooden was signing autographs in aisle 30. Good times!

I saw the post-game of the Twins game and Lindor blew himself up over the error. It was unnecessary, but appreciated. And your comment reminded me of a forgotten memory from last night that was a new one on me (but not to my son). Lindor's walk-up song has been My Girl for awhile. Fans have taken to singing it after the fade out when he's in the batter box. Very cool. My son said it started last year.

@Another Fan @Gugny @ExWNYer Attended my first game of the year at Citi Field last night. Decent sized crowd for an April mid-week game. Kind of a lackluster game, looked like it might be a blow-out after the Mets 4 run second, but it settled into a pitchers duel. Canning was impressive and the Card pitcher settled down after after the rocky start. Tons of weak grounders to shortstop for both teams. Besides the Vientos HR maybe one batted ball reached the warning track. Biggest takeaway for me was the crowd stayed all game and gave Soto a really nice ovation when he came up in the 8th despite his rough start. Might have been a different story if the team hadn't been winning. LGM!

They were talking about this on local radio the other day and said that prior to 2005 it was illegal. They made it legal because it was too difficult to officiate. If true it took around 20 years for teams to exploit the rule. This article backs up what I heard on the radio: https://www.latimes.com/sports/story/2022-12-30/pushing-the-pile-nfl-rule-officiating

Couldn't throw the nerf ball far enough. I ended up with a knock-off brand that was better for me but not so much for the door trim that got beat up a bit or the stuff on my dresser that got knocked off when I missed with the heavier ball.

What distinction are you trying to make?

Never been there. Which is an oddity since I've a big fan of the game and the history (thanks in large part to my grandfather).

@ExWNYer @Another Fan @Gugny RIP Octavio Dotel. As a young player (rookie?) I always thought he should have been brought in instead of Kenny Rogers against the Braves in the 1999 NLCS. He went on to have a long career playing for many teams - if you play https://www.immaculategrid.com/ he's what my boys would call a cheat code. Sad to hear of his (and others) tragic passing.

Wow, forgot about him. Wasn't that in his first year with the Angels? I could be misremembering but I think he came up with the Twins and the parallel between him and Carew both going from the Twins to the Angels.

The fact that it came in one game less is nuts. But that's a thin limb you went out on imo. Gretzky was by far the greatest player of his era, probably ever. Can't remember anyone ever thinking/saying that about Ovechkin. Ovechkin is still 1200 points shy of Gretzky in the same number of games. Gretzky's game was much more than goal scoring - and yet he still held the goal scoring record until the other day.
