  1. Limeaid, you are missing out, badly. Watch some, if you enjoy good film making. Jokeman: if you don't get his thing, I guess you don't get his thing....but his movies are gems. They aren't ALL massive home runs, but GBH and Moonrise Kingdom, to name 2 are freaking incredible. One of the best/funniest/most interesting films I've ever seen is the Cohen Brothers' "FARGO". Lots of people don't like or get that one too. I'm curious to know if you like Fargo.
  2. I spent a couple hours last night wandering Youtube, looking for immediate post-game discussion of the Bruins meltdown. And I found plenty! Some of the most entertaining viewing I've done in some time. Most of Bruins nation is in total disbelief and yes, they are describing it as one of the greatest chokes in sports history--because it is. As much as I enjoyed the loss last night, I was equally upset...b/c a healthy, sound playing Bruins teams is MASSIVELY more likely to send the Leafs home, which is the REAL PRIZE here... Toronto will beat Florida in 5.
  3. See, you can always pick up a serviceable running back from wherever, whenever, for cheap. This is why you don't draft them, let alone in the top 10 of the draft!
  4. So much wasted conversation in the football world for the last THREE MONTHS about nothing. Now we all know what real teams have actually done! Talk about THAT!
  5. Not sure yet; too early to say. I hope we do more before the season starts. It doesn't feel like enough right now.
  6. In the game of football, sometimes in order to get bigger, you need to get Shorter. 🤔
  7. At least we didn't take another DT with our first pick. Baby steps.
  8. No! never worth it.
  9. Is it possible we selected Williams based on his appearance to Tremaine Edmunds?
  10. The moment my ING Orange (from Holland) turned into Capital One, I was pissed off and knew it wouldn't end well. I'm moving on as well, ultimately. To Augie: it's not that Capital One was actively modifying my account in this market to pay .3%. It's just that this is what it was from another time and they never actively modified it to give me more money. Maybe that is equally outrageous! I was pretty pissed when I noticed my rate was not the going rate. I'm going to look into Barclay's based on your comments!
  11. What do you mean by "tipping picks" ?? Someone has a crystal ball? Or do you mean he has an extra fast internet hookup or something and gets the news 10 seconds before the rest of the world? Who cares?
  12. I just grabbed one. I'm adding to my wall display with my Trent Edwards and Matt Barkley jerseys. Should be awesome.
  13. What you call him is immaterial. Call him the "guy who runs and catches the ball." That's what Gronk was and Kelce is. It's a LONG WAY TO GO before we know if he'll be any good.
  14. I don't see this team going full attack with 2 TEs, even though the masses seem to think so right now. I see the pick last night as a statement that we have seen enough of Knox and are moving on. By the way, Beane just CANNOT HELP HIMSELF---he has to trade up! It's is his worst flaw, by far.
  15. RT, fine. DT? Vomit.
  16. I keep seeing this thread title and think "Who the hell is Josh Britt?" 😂
  17. That's emerging as "the" series of the first round. Also great to see Toronto choke away another elimination game tonight. That's ELEVEN of them in a row now, and counting! LMAO Cannot wait for Game 6 in Tampa. I think Tampa wins, and then we'll have a game 7 in TO and so much fear and panic in that Leafs team, it will be palpable. Should make for some great viewing.
  18. Then you've come to the right place. Especially if you enjoy a good argument, for the fun of it... Most seem to be here to argue with strangers, not talk football.
  19. You ask for that only after 259 pages? LOL Where were you about 250 pages ago?
  20. I flipped around until the "expert panel" did not include Mel Kiper; I can't look at that guy or listen to him anymore. Luckily, he was only on one channel.
  21. Don't you think it's likely they will be going in a different direction with this guy? Don't you think it was obvious the offense had issues last year and we never developed a coherent "game" all year long? That's all totally on the OC by the way. For God's sake, we brought back 2 corpses and had them running routes last year out of total desperation. They are wisely realizing that things need fixing and this guy represents part of the fix. At least that's the plan. We'll see what he can do on an NFL field. Josh needs a bunch more weapons; this guy should be one of them.
  22. Apparently, he didn't run a 40 time at the combine b/c he had a back problem. Does anyone know what sort of speed this guy has? And is he 6'3" or 6'4"? I see it as both all over the place.
  23. This whole thing so far makes me want to puke. Back to Rangers vs. NJ.
  24. This makes sense, you would think. But I had a savings account with Capital One that was still paying the good old .3% interest a while ago. It began life as ING Orange and was the highest paying interest rate savings account on the planet when I opened it. So I go to the Capital One website to play with my account and notice that they are doing a big push to get people to open up new savings accounts---at 3.5% interest. I look at my account (as a long time "valued customer") and assume I am getting that new rate automatically. NOPE! I immediately opened the new account at 3.5%, and transferred the max they would allow at account start up. After a few days I could get the rest in there, then I closed the old account that paid .3% . The rising tide may not raise all ships. I am investigating other accounts as you hear that some pay 5%. The ones that are actually paying 4 or 4.5 or 5, and don't have strings attached, are few and far between, and tend to come from weird places I have never heard of. Not sure I want to open those. I am about to open another one at 4% though. It's not as simple as putting all the money in 1 account that pays the highest, b/c I'm over the FDIC insurance limits and need to diversify.
