When John Ritter did Sling Blade, the rumor was he insisted that he last name be Cunningham. He said it would bring clsure to the old question of what happened to Chuck Cunningham.

Id nominate You're the One that I want from Grease. But Deadpool made a great music video for it.

The one game wonder scenario can go the other way too. Where I saw him was the OL-DL drills during Senior Bowl practices. He stood out, but not in a good way. The reps I saw, he was pushed, pulled, knocked down, strangled and on nearly every rep, was on the ground. He really looked like he had no balance whatsoever, or was practicing drunk. So I was put off based on that very limited amount of reps. And I groaned when the pick was announced. (the guy I wanted was David Walker from Central Arkansas who was taken by Tampa in the 4th round. He stood out in a good way. They were loving him during OTAs, but he tore an ACL in one of his first days at TC.) I wasn't really shocked when Jackson struggled. As far as the wight gain, I hope it works. Ryan Denny did this between his rookie and 2nd year. He put on around 15 lb of muscle. Here's hoping Landon Jackson fares better.

In that vein, he was smart enough to know what he didn't know and smart enough to fix the areas he needed to fix. He knew he had an accuracy problem and then spent the next few years working on his mechanics to improve his throwing motion. And he became an NFL outlier of QBs who actually improved their accuracy in the NFL. Many do not.

Secret Agent Man always belongs on a top 3 of TV theme songs.

Done. It is that time of year. Went to the Memory Walk for my wife's hospice last night, ACS Relay for Life next year. Good luck on your journey!! You've impressed me!!

2001- theme to 2001; The Godfather- Godfather theme Smokey and the Bandit- Eastbound and down The Blue Brothers- Sweet Home Chicago Crossroads - Paganini's 5th Caprice, (AKA Eugene's Trick Bag for the movie)

David finally got to hear his name called, Jesus had his final judgment day. There is a committee formed in heaven, do we let him in, do we keep him out? 2 camps. The "he's too crude to let in" vs the "he's too good to keep out". In the end, the the latter group won, after telling the first to group to FO. Back in my drinking days, if you were in a bar where they would play YNECMBMN, whenever it came on, everyone stopped what they were doing, broke up into groups of 5 or 6, sang together and then went back to what they were doing. He unintentionally invented Karoke. So he will have to pay some type of penance for that. But he'll handle it. The choirs of Angels in heaven are breaking off in to small groups and singing along.

He was 2nd in the country in YAC. One of only 2 with more than 800 in YAC. what he might lack in power running, he more than makes up in vision, cutting ability and a number of other things. Get the ball in his hands and he'll know what to do with it.

That is all.

Don't wait for stupid trade offers. Don't sit around thinking it. Send in Skyler Bell's name, be done with it. It'll help right a few wrongs.

Oh I take exception to "something you read about in the paper the next day. " In high school English class a friend had a transistor radio with an earphone sat in class and let out an audible "yes". He then passed around a note with 2 words. "Jerry Butler". We all knew they were drafting Cousineau first, so he didn't need to tell us. That turned out to be an excellent draft btw.

It makes me a bit uneasy for people to cling to a quote from Dawkins, a guy who was admittedly overweight last year. So I just take it with a grain of salt. Troy Aikman had a more public feud with Barry Switzer but I didn't realize how bad it was until watching Aikman's A Football Life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM1qBY-qmJw Essentially, it came down to Switzer not holding people accountable like Jimmy Johnson would. So Aikman ended up being 'that guy". It is wayyyy too premature to speculate that something like that is going to happen, but I sure hope it don't.

And this is why you find them in the draft. And get as many years out of them on their rookie contract. Mesidor!!

He handled the interview with class. And I think he's approaching his future right. It reminds me of Belichick after he was fired from the Browns. He picked up a copy of his old rival Bill Walsh's book Finding the Winning Edge and studied it. It remained on his desk the entire time he was with the Pats. I wish McD luck.
