Yep, do the same thing we did with White and the Texans did with Watson. Pick up the 5th year option and negotiate an EXTENSION onto the end of the original 5 year rookie deal.

It's against CBA rules to negotiate a contract until 3 seasons have been completed. We legally cannot re-sign him until this season is over.

Ralph wouldnt have used the consulting firm that lead the Pegulas to McD. Looking at his multi-decade track record with coaches, it's safe to say it wouldn't have happened. I also don't think Ralph had the mindset to identify a culture-changer like McD. Ralph wanted the org managed the way he liked it. He had zero part in building that dynasty other than finally finding a GM who could put it together. And then ran that same HoF GM out of town because he insulted Ralph's daughter who shouldnt have been working as a scout in the first place. Look, it doesnt bring me any joy to bash Ralph. That's not what I'm trying to do. But let's be honest and objective: he was not a great owner if you are looking for on-field results.

When Rudy Giuliani with a grainy picture is the best you got...

Yeah, looks like I spoke too soon on Ford. He is still not practicing. Bummer.

No, we would still be in the same situation the franchise has been in for the bulk of its existence.

It's much like another juke move. Disrupts timing of running at a constant speed and makes defenders hesitate for a moment. It isnt to show off. It's an actual move. Very common in Rugby.

Good question. Absolutely if we can keep him near/under $1M

Bro, you are a machine. So quick on the posts. Love it. Morse back. Feliciano and Ford back at Guard. Dawkins and Williams dominating. LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I sure hope so, brother. Too many in the NG and DHS had no problems assaulting protestors already. That was just a dress rehearsal.

That is absolute best case scenario, which I dont think we'll see. The recent changes in leadership in Defense and Intelligence paint a much scarier and dire picture of how far he'll be willing to go to stay in office. He is prepping to use the US military against our own citizens.

No Feliciano in those games. The Running Game is BACK BABY! edit: Just got word that Morse is back, Feliciano back to Guard. LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO

Of course they arent done financially. They got that Mouse Money behind them. But they are done as the leader in sports coverage, and the default go-to for sports entertainment and analysis.

On that note, and not to defend ESPN, but the PRICE of highlights is astronomical compared to when they were starting out and in the glory years. The NFL launched its own network and wants to drive viewership to it. Therefore, they charge ESPN millions of dollars for just the few highlights they get, and keep most of the deep highlights for themselves. It's to the point that if you re-watch a show like PtI on streaming, they cut any/all of the highlights from the stream because it costs so much to show them.

It's on ESPN+ Dont get too excited. It's pretty disappointing. Boomer is old and slow to make calls and follow games. They swapped in Booger for Tom this year. Meh.

The one plus I will give ESPN is for their ESPN Streaming App. From April to September, when there were no sports being played, they had 2-3 college football games on every night. Some classics from the 80s all the way to last season. It definitely helped get through the dark times this year.

Good call, they do a good job on Monday Night Football. And College Football is the best thing they have left (Gameday still strong, for now). I dont mind them putting stuff behind ESPN+ since I get it included with Disney+, haha. But there isnt a ton of stuff much better there. The Details series is ok. 30 for 30 produced some amazing documentaries, but the last few havent been up to par.

Ignoring the controversies over content and politics. It's a garbage station as far as production quality goes. You can tell they already laid off everyone who knows how to make a TV show run and function and have a bunch of amateurs behind the scenes. NFL Live is unwatchable. Rocko and Dino on 1990s Public Access had better production quality. Whenever I do turn it on, it's all: the wrong highlights being played that dont match what the announcer is talking about. like, not even the right GAME. graphics being wrong or out of order cutting to the wrong person who is supposed to talk next mics not being turned on etc, etc ESPN is done. It died when they took out Mike & Mike (imo). The only thing I turn it on for anymore is Pardon the Interruption, sometimes.

What are your thoughts on the difference between the overall gameplans for KC vs Seattle? KC seemed like classic conservative McD. Let them run to kill the clock, keep it close, hope we pull it out in the end. Seattle seemed like they may have learned their lesson against KC and said "Eff it, let's see THEM keep up with US". Hoping McD learned to be aggressive against good teams. Or is that wishful thinking? Maybe Josh's shoulder injury played into the KC gameplan?

I also hope that after weeks of trying to make Klein fit into roles he isnt suited for, the staff have learned he is good at something and will keep rushing/blitzing him.

I see it the opposite way. Klingsbury deciding to try a long FG on 4th and 1, which missed and lost them the game, reminded me of Jauron's decisions that lead him to losing the locker room. I don't think things are that dire in AZ yet, but I'm hoping they are just discouraged.

More Projection. Too bad you didnt get enough hugs growing up.

No, once we get dumb enough, we convert and then brag on the internet about how we were shown the light and became brainwashed Repubs.

Gaslight Obstruct Project This is the Projection part...
