  1. Rex and Marrone were overrules but the McDermott hire was Whaley's choice and ironically the first time he felt secure enough to really push Pegula into adhering to his recommendation.
  2. Would the proper pronunciation be something along the lines of "loot-jay lageh" with a hard "g"?
  3. I like this idea a lot. Would it still be considered the Luttje Lage if you substituted a different kind of beer or cordial, or does Luttje Lage translate to those specific ingredients?
  4. I've never seen the table tap, but I've been a party to and victim of many Icings. I was at the wedding of some friend's kids last summer and they had everybody leave the pavilion and go out for some fireworks and the couple's entrance, then when we came back in there was an Ice sitting at every single place-setting at the reception. 200 people all taking a knee to pound a Smirnoff was fantastic theater.
  5. He hasn't actually caught it quite yet. Sort of a metaphor for his current situation.
  6. I'm as interested in the fact that Josh Allen has never really had a WR quite like Claypool. The suddenness and catch radius could be a boon to Allen; if they were to get on the same page, that could get real interesting, real quick.
  7. The older generation of truckers were the best drivers out there, but the newer generation has become a bunch of self-indulgent jackasses. I won't brake check that kind of tonnage, but if they do something stupid I will time it so that I slide in front of them when approaching the base of a hill and then slow down enough to rob them of the momentum they're trying to build for it. It drives them crazy.
  8. I'd say absolutely. Between the ingrained entitlement, the tech distractions and the simple lack of respect for others, there are way more spoiled, clueless brats on the road. Even OTR guys, who used to be the best drivers out there, cannot be trusted anymore.
  9. It was clearly an atrocious decision by Allen, regardless of whether Davis also blew the route. I guess I was just commenting on how frustrating it was to watch these guys play together for 4 full season and still never really ever get on the same page. I'm curious whether Davis will have the same issues going forward.
  10. I'm telling y'all, there is something very intriguing coming along here......
  11. Miscommunication #634 with Davis
  12. I think he's wondering if not "slowing down" makes you a bad person. Or just someone who broke a law. Cuz the two are not really interchangeable, imo.
  13. I don't disagree with this. But it also calls to mind another franchise that tortured us, had a first ballot HOF QB, and had a variety of implosions annually predicted as their fate; predictions which became so tirelessly repetitive that they evolved into an ongoing gag.
  14. Yeah, I think so. Maybe they were in Kansas?
  15. The logic is that his arms are short by choice, not by design.
  16. Then be prepared to have your observations misinterpreted by the people you are communicating with. Fwiw, when you referred to our alligator-armed slot, I could not figure out who you were talking about as I had never seen Shakir shy from contact.
  17. Came in as a Lion, now going out like a lamb. No muss, no Cephus.....
  18. If 265 is his wrestling weight, I'd guess a couple good sandwiches would get him to 290.
  19. The inability to differentiate between the travel lane and the passing lane is a level of idiocy I will never be able to comprehend. If the right lane is a stretch of bad road and there is no other traffic around then I get it; I do that sometimes. But to be hanging out there doing the same speed as a car you're not even passing, while 5 people are stacked up behind you is stunningly stupid and you will get an intimate close up view of my bumper.
  20. Maybe if you just did something with your hair?
  21. I know it makes no logical sense whatsoever but I am extremely intrigued by Chase Claypool during this particular chapter of his career.
  22. There are three little horizontally aligned dots in the upper right corner of your original post. You can click on them to bring up an "Edit" option, which will give you the opportunity to make alterations to either the post or the title. 👍
  23. That was a very good team with a tough Front 7 and an outstanding OLine. They were a QB away from a championship, imo. As a fellow who has always been convinced that your defensive front is the 2nd most impactful position on your team (only superseded by QB), this is arguably my very favorite thing about Beane's philosophy. I will concede that rule changes have made DLs somewhat less impactful over the last few years, but not enough to significantly lessen their import in the greater scheme of the game.
