Please, continue enlightening us with tales from your Bachelor of Arts degree in Cultural Studies.
Well, considering it was 700, I figured you knew it was a Masters... but you knew that, I hope

That makes sense, because of identity and all... so what about race, age, weight, height, etc? Does identity have a fancy word for those also? Again, asking for a friend. This isn't a political forum so I will end it here...
My Trans professor in my 700 level class in cultural studies couldn't answer this question either. I really wanted to know why gender identity was SO accepted, yet all other identities were taboo to them. I guess "he" was more comfortable stating that being "male"(his terminology) was how you felt, but "him" saying a person born white can identify as black was a little tougher in a class filled with minorities. Why? What's the difference? It can't be science... Why can we change our gender identity, but not any other identity?! That seems very narrow minded. Heck, even income identity should come into account in this land of make believe. If you are born a rich white boy in the Hamptons, yet you identify as a poor old minority lady, who are we to not allow him(well, now her i guess) all the benefits our government has to offer for such an identity?! It's his choice! We should accept it!
This is only in response to the person who wanted to distinct sex with gender, yet gender can dictate bathroom use, showers, locker rooms, and sports eligibility. It would seem that our country treats gender as if it were sex. Geez, again I apologize and I will crawl back under my rock and watch from afar. I don't mean to go on these rants, but when I see a certain political point of view not being reined in on a sports forum, I feel someone has to stand up.

I’ve been identifying as a man with 20 lbs less but those Nazis at Marshall’s refuse to change their size 30 pants for me.
I know right?! you should sue them for being insensitive bigots!

I think every one of your first 4 picks will be gone 20 picks or so earlier.
I agree 1000%

The main problem is, people can be asymptomatic and still transmit it. We tend to be of the mindset that if we're feeling fine, there is no risk. That's why some people mistakenly believe large gatherings are perfectly fine so long as nobody appears sick. Stories like the OP infuriate me for just that reason. There is no reason to be that reckless. If even one person there had it, even without symptoms, it could now be passed on to any number of others in attendence. Hope a party was worth potentially spreading this further. Idiots.
Real science is...it has been proven that you can have the virus and pass it to others, even if you show no symptoms. That clear it up?
Yeah, I think we all get it. Goodness

"Texas Man Ignores Scientific Evidence"
Is that like "New York man ignores scientific evidence when it pertains to number of genders"? Asking for a friend... and wondering which science is the real science

I wish these draft simulator sites were more logical, but here is my last First-Picks draft for use. I chose to draft a K and P because I don't really see us having 7 potential roster makers in this draft... maybe 3 at the most, not counting kicker and punter. Anyways, I know each of these players I drafted before round 6 are most likely gone in an actual draft:
Round 2 Pick 22: D'Andre Swift, RB, Georgia (A+)
Round 3 Pick 22: Kyle Dugger, SS/FS, Lenoir-Rhyne (A+)
Round 4 Pick 22: Chase Claypool, WR/TE, Notre Dame (A+)
Round 5 Pick 9: K.J. Hill, WR, Ohio St. (A+)
Round 6 Pick 9: Braden Mann, P, Texas A&M (A+)
Round 6 Pick 22: Tyler Bass, K, Ga. Southern (A+)
Round 7 Pick 25: Carter Coughlin, OLB, Minnesota (A+)

I went to the practices in person and watched these two kick the ball.... it wasn’t even close.
Tyler Bass was far superior. Dude was making 50 yard FGs with ease. Potentially could hit 60-65 yds.
Im a UGA guy, but Blankenship looked like a HS kicker next to Bass. His range looked around 35-40 yds. Anything past that it just didn’t look like the power was there. Where with Bass a 45 yarder looked like a chip shot.
Blankenship will not be drafted. I don’t even see him making a team next year. Bass will be Draft I’d say rd 6?
If that’s the case, then let’s draft that mamma jamma!
-
Rodrigo Blankenship nailed a few 50 yarders this year, and broke Georgia's Touch-backs record. If we keep all of our picks, I wouldn't mind using both our 6th rounders on Blankenship and Mann.

These are bad college uniforms. I can imagine Oregon rolling these puppies out on Halloween weekend.

Roscoe is the really only true answer. If we are talking just punt returning, it is Roscoe, no question or debate.

I never once stated that Jarrett Stidham is or was ever going to be as good as Tom Brady, dude!!!!!!!
I’m merely posted that I suspect that the Patriots are content going into the season with Stedham, Hoyer and a draft pick. Go back and read all of my posts in this thread again, do some drawings or a story map to aid your comprehension, and then go kick rocks.

BB doesn’t use jack@ss QBs that want to promote their brand or act like high school attention whor3s to run his offense. He uses a smart, mature, QB that makes sound decisions. Brady was that ten fold. Cam and Jameis are the exact opposite. I doubt they have the maturity level of a middle schooler... and that is a slight against middle schoolers.

He's had only one QB over the last 20 years, who happened to be the best ever, from that sample size I don't think we should assume he's unwilling to utilize players with different capabilities.
There was a thread earlier this week of what BB looks for at each position. And who did he use when TB was out? Matt Cassel. It’s not assumption.

Don’t get comfortable, here comes Belichick! Nothing is worse than false confidence/security. If anyone thinks that Belichick is just gonna roll over than they got another thing coming. Newton and Winston, similar abilities and both available. I’m not buying the Stidham talk, expect Belichick to reinvent that offense. Nobody loves veterans that want to prove something more than Belichick.
Are either considered cerebral QBs? Billacheat likes thinkers and good decision makers over athletes and gun slingers. I don’t think you have payed attention to anything BB has done over the last 20 years

Unless Jax decides to remove the tag and let him text FA, I’m not interested. Even then I wonder what the Bills would save from cutting Murphy now?

You realize I’m also the person who made the post about not believing in drafting a second RB with a high pick, right?My personal choice for the pick was actually a RT or OLB.
I picked a RB based off what I think the Bills would do in that situation.
Yeah, my bad. I was feeling a bit salty yesterday. Didn’t mean to derail a fun thread.

It just isn't how Virgil does these things. He looks at the best available according to the 3 big boards linked in the longer mock draft post and selects the options from there. If there are 3 running backs and one receiver that is because based on an amalgamation of those three boards that we use for the mock their appear to be 3 runners and only one receiver in the 8 or 9 BPA.
Yeah, my bad... I was reading the wrong tea leaves. Carry on

Who did you vote for?

The only huh?
This is the closest vote we've had in the 3 years of doing this with multiple drafts each year. I'm also trying to get these done in a reasonable time to where we can get our final one in.
End of the day, it provides the context that there's a decent split in wanting a WR or a RB. That's the ultimate pointYeah, no I get it. But I also think it may be a little biased of who you wanted picked. No Dugger... a couple RBs. And a mix of picks that will distribute other choices. I get the time frame, but it doesn’t seem that fair. I think anyone who is active in these forums knew the pick came down to a WR or RB, or maybe Chinn/Dugger. Yet you listed a couple RBs and only one WR in a VERY strong WR draft... this may be a little slanted to the preference of the OP. Which is fine, because it’s all for fun and anyone’s guess can be right. But I definitely believe this was done in an attempt to fulfill personal preferences.
Still slow burning over bad calls in Texans' game
