Well, at least McDermott got him a receiver early in this draft (after trading down twice for minimal return). He showed Josh just how much he wanted to bring him weapons. You see? With McDermott calling the shots there is always good news.

You speak a lot about Beane's expectations. Do you seriously believe that Beane will have any say in the amount of playing time that Coleman will see? I mean really.

You raise a good point omf but players today are getting faster, not slower.

We took this trip to Garden Grove It smelled like Lou-dog inside the van, oh yeah This ain't no funky reggae party, $5 at the door It gets so real sometimes, who wrote my rhyme I've got the microwave, got the VCR I got the deuce-deuce in the trunk of my car, oh yeah

The bottles stand as empty As they were filled before Time there was and plenty But from that cup no more Though I could not caution all I still might warn a few Don't lend your hand to raise no flag Atop no ship of fools

Stand! In the end, you'll still be you One that's done all the things you set out to do Stand There's a cross for you to bear Things to go through if you're going anywhere Stand For the things you know are right It's the truth that the truth makes them so uptight Stand All the things you want are real You have you to complete and there is no deal

I was lyin' in a burned-out basement With a full moon in my eyes I was hopin' for replacement When the sun burst through the sky There was a band playin' in my head And I felt like getting high I was thinkin' about what a friend had said I was hopin' it was a lie Thinkin' about what a friend had said I was hopin' it was a lie

None at all. I am just constantly amazed at how many folks think that Beane has more than, or even an equal say wrt the draft than does McDermott. Certain coaches control the draft for their respective teams.

Wait, do you think that Shanny controls the draft in SF?

Really!!!

Top 10? He belongs in the Hall of Fame.

Sadly, I voted over. I think that only injuries could prevent him from going over and I hope to be dead wrong.

There is a band that tours the country called "Steely Dead." If you like Steely Dan and the Grateful Dead, these guys are great.

People say I'm crazy Doing what I'm doing Well, they give me all kinds of warnings To save me from ruin When I say that I'm okay, well they look at me kinda strange "Surely you're not happy now, you no longer play the game"

Well this job Ive got is just a little too hard, Running out of money, lord, I need more pay. Gonna wake up in the morning lord, gonna pack my bags, I'm gonna beat it on down the line.

Agents of the law Luckless pedestrian I know you're out there With rage in your eyes and your megaphones Saying all is forgiven Mad dog surrender How can I answer A man of my mind can do anything I'm a bookkeeper's son I don't want to shoot no one Well I crossed my old man back in Oregon Don't take me alive Got a case of dynamite I could hold out here all night Yes I crossed my old man back in Oregon Don't take me alive

Shaking in the forest, what have you to fear? Here there may be tigers to punch you in the ear With gloves of stainless steel, bats carved out of bricks Knock you down and beat you up and give your ass a kick When push comes to shove, you're afraid of love Shaking in the desert, now wherefore do you cry? Here there may be rattlesnakes to punch you in the eye With shotgun's full of silver, and bullet's made of glass String barbed wire at your feet that will not let you pass When push comes to shove, you're afraid of love

I tossed out TO so Reed by a mile.

I know this super highway This bright familiar sun I guess that I'm the lucky one Who wrote that tired sea song Set on this peaceful shore You think you've heard this one before Well the danger on the rocks is surely past Still I remain tied to the mast Could it be that I have found my home at last Home at last

One morning, I woke up, and I knew You were really gone A new day, a new way And new eyes to see the dawn Go your way, I'll go mine And carry on

All I know is something like a bird within her sang All I know she sang a little while and then flew on Tell me all that you know, I'll show you Snow and rain RIP Robert Hunter

Slippin' into darkness, yeah When I heard, my mother say I was slippin' into darkness When I heard, my mother say Hey, what'd she say what'd she say You've been slippin' into darkness (Wo ho ho ho) Pretty soon you gonna pay.

I don't think I agree with your entire post but it's hard to argue with the bolded.

I've been trying to tell you people that corners should not be drafted early!

I don't understand what happened to Jace Sternberger. He was excellent in college and I projected him to be an excellent tight end. Did he get hurt?
