Bing Bong Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Fun fact. Polynesians make by far the most amount of money in the NFL on average compared to any other ethnicity. Mostly produce some very coordinated big boys in the trenches, many are multi sport athletes that thrive in the NFL because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course Ngata was just born and raised in the Pacific west.. but Hawaiians are low key obsessed with football they have some high school football powerhouses out there Edited March 18, 2019 by BarkleyForGOATBackupPT5P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 1 hour ago, thronethinker said: And if you consider land based mountains from peak to base Denali in Alaska is the tallest in the world. So the tallest marine based and land based mountains in the world are both in the United States. If you put Everest next to either in a strictly size comparison it is dwarfed. If one carries rock and places it on Everest's very summit and names it after one's self, is that not then now the tallest mountain on earth?

Utah John Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I just got home from Hawaii this morning. The people on the big island will certainly tell you that Mauna Kea is the tallest free-standing mountain in the world. They don't mention that a lot of it is underground. And how exactly do they know the depth, exactly? A mystery not to be solved without beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah John Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 About Whitner -- Does anyone ever remember him wrapping up on a tackle? His style was to try to bump the guy over with his chest, which generally let the guy get more yards or even get away. I always assumed he was playing not to get hurt so he'd have a long career and retire rich. Is this the worst Bills draft ever? https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/buf/2006_draft.htm Only lucking into Kyle Williams preserved a little dignity. About Whitner/Ngata -- Is this worse than Torell Troup / Gronk? I think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsfaninChicago Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 This thread is pretty awesome it combines Bills Drought nostalgia with a debate about mountains! I am no geologist but I did see Donte “Don’t Tase Me Bro” Whitner get drafted. What is crazy that wasn’t even the worse move Jauron made that draft. Moving back into the 1st to take Jon McCargo was the winner for Billsiest move that day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st pete gogolak Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Not that it would have changed the team's destiny (not in a QB dominated league and we didn't have one then or for years after) but I always have wondered what would have happened to the team's fortunes if we had picked Ngata instead of Whitner. The horrendousness of the Whitner pick manifested itself immediately because - in need of a big defensive tackle (hence why everyone but everyone assumed the first pick would be Ngata) - we moved back into the first round to pick (wait for it) John McCargo!! Can you imagine if we had picked Ngata and then have been smart enough to move back into the first round to pick Nick Mangold? Would have had rock solid foundations in the middle of the O-Line and the D-Line for the next decade. Twas not to be, cheri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 https://sports.yahoo.com/dt-ngata-retire-ravens-wednesday-012816311.html Veteran defensive tackle Haloti Ngata will return to Baltimore on Wednesday to retire as a member of the Ravens. Ngata, 35, was a five-time Pro Bowl selection and two-time first team All-Pro during his nine-year tenure with the Ravens (2006-14) before spending three seasons with the Detroit Lions and last year with the Philadelphia Eagles. "Haloti Ngata helped define what it means to 'play like a Raven' and will thus finish as one," the Ravens wrote on their official website Tuesday.
