  1. was looking at rory playing number 7.  drives it 340 yards leaving him only 113 to pin.  hits wedge 120,putts it to 7 feet that he had to make for his par.  if his wedges and putting were any good he would be unbeatable

    Jason Witten, Jay Ratliff, Marion Barber, Sean Lee, Ron Leary, Doug Free, Andre Gurode, Demarco Murray, Jason Hatcher, and a few others would like to talk to you about shit drafting after the first over two decades 

    you really want to go there? thats who you have for 20 years worth of drafting?  that list tells you all you need to know.

  3. Same guy who drafted Prescott also drafted Chaz Green.  Guys taken in the later rounds usually don't workout.  That's not a problem unique to Dallas.

    I didn’t say later rounds, I’m talking the first 2-4 rounds you better get guys who can start for your team and the cowboys have been very bad after round one

  4. The numbers don't show that.

    Even the Pats aren't consistently drafting better than everyone else.  It's coaching, injuries, FA acquisitions and sometimes it's just luck.  The draft gets hyped but it's zeke getting suspended for 6 games or Garrett failing to give Chaz Green help that make the big difference.


    It’s not Garrett’s fault for reaching 3 rounds to draft a spare OL like green.

    Last time I checked you typically draft linemen who can play one on one.

    The cowboys have been terrible after the first round for two decades now.

    Cool . . . what role or scenes were you associated with in "Tender Mercies"?  It's probably my favorite film of all time.

    I ended up just being in one scene.  we filmed at a an old country bar in arlington on south cooper.  it was near the old graham central station club.  they had me dancing with a girl to a song called "drinking canada dry", if i remember correctly.  the camera followed us across the dance floor as the song ended.  we walked towards a table to sit down and the camera pans to ellen barkin and her boyfriend and then focuses on them as they sit down at a table.

    in the first take, the girl and i sat down at a table that barkin was supposed to sit at and they had to cut.  she was a bitch and said something like "what the hell are they doing at my table?" /csb

  6. I wanted to change my name to Chet because of this show.

    Mom was like, "negative Rampart".


    Well played mom. “Better start him on an IV with ringers”

    Stopped in a store down in the Hill country and snapped some pics.

  7. I struggle with films that are technically wrong, like "Whiplash".  It was "Rocky" set at UNT.  Too many errors and inconsistencies.

    The problem is, I only know what I know, so it's hard for me to judge certain films like "The Hurt Locker".

    What I consider to be truly GREAT films are often smaller productions with deeply developed characters who actually interact with each other ("Tender Mercies"), or perhaps experience such beyond-normal situations that it's possible to suspend disbelief ("Into The West").  I don't see many of those being made these days.  "Boyhood" would qualify.  "Phantom Thread" almost got there, but fell short, despite Daniel Day Lewis' typical A+ performance.

     

    I was in the movie “Tender Mercies”, “Split Image” and “”Silent Rage” /csb

     

    It’s been a while since I’ve seen a movie I would consider great. “No Country for Old Men” would probably be the last one.

     

    As mentioned above, “Girl with the Dragon Tatoo” Swedish version was amazing, all three of those were.
