  1. The guy probably wants to go into coaching and will be essentially a grad assistant that also suits up.
  2. Nice updates but fucking hell we need a lot of these guys to start doing it for country same as they do for their clubs.
  3. The upside is that streaming pitchers against the Rangers is now a cheat code in fantasy baseball.
  4. Counterpoint is that Endries was the top portal TE and we went out and got him. Don't think he came here with the understanding that he'd be a blocking surface.
  5. Not familiar with Benson Boone either but he appears to be the answer to the question “what if Harry Styles didn’t have any talent?”
  6. Cut the poor guy some slack. His last name is Cunts
  7. I don’t know who Quinta Brunson is but she’s good at this. This sign language skit is pretty funny
  8. Seager, Langford, and Jung is a pretty good core to start with. Unfortunately Semien is probably done and everyone else is dead weight. I thought I was living in crazy town this offseason when they kept trying to tell us that Pederson and Burger were impact additions. Neither of those guys has ever been anything more than average. If the Rangers don’t go hard after an impact bat in the offseason, or preferably trade for one this season, they ain’t serious about shit.
  9. @Scraps and @UTHornFan014 I’m looking at your offers, not ignoring them
  10. I need a warm body with 1B or 3B eligibility. Would be willing to trade OF or SS.
  11. Well, that and
  12. One thing that's been bugging me a little bit, in Empire Strikes Back, there's the iconic scene where Luke is flying away from Dagobah and Obi-wan says that Luke is their last hope. Yoda replies, "No, there is another", implying Leia. I've only ever seen the prequels once, but doesn't Obi-wan know that Leia is Luke's sister? Is that just a mistake in the script? Anyway I've been thinking way too much about SW lately since we started showing it to our kids. In retrospect, it's absolutely insane how badly Disney fumbled the sequel trilogy. This is the studio that had like a 30-movie plan for Marvel that made 75 trillion dollars, and they couldn't execute a 3-movie arc in a universe this rich? It's basically the same plot as the original trilogy. Oppressive authoritarian government led by bad guy dressed in all black fights against plucky rebels. Except this time they couldn't even keep the tone and direction straight for 3 consecutive movies. Every fucking screenwriter and director in Hollywood is probably a huge Star Wars nerd. Put out a call to submit a 3-page story arc for 3 movies and they would've gotten 20 more interesting and coherent ideas. For fucks' sake. I realize I'm not treading any new ground, here.
  13. Man, you kinda feel like a game that Corbin starts and you give up 2 runs should be a freebie.
  14. Yeah my concern is that machete order is good for nerds and adults but my kids would be confused by the skipping around. I went back and read the entire original blog post and he pretty clearly has adults in mind. I think we can all agree that watching them in numerical order would be fucking preposterous.
  15. Machete order the way to go for showing SW to kids the first time? We've watched IV and V, wondering where to go next.
  16. maybe he just absolutely LOVES cocaine
  17. You left off Muhammad, who is probably gone barring injury. Also Endries, the new TE, has another year but could go with a big year. You listed Spence twice. I think Kanu belongs in your second list. You also left off a bunch of Sophs that redshirted: Shannon, Randle, Stroh, Chatman, Cojoe, Lavon Johnson, Roberson, and Derek Williams. In practice I don't see any of those guys getting drafted. Maaaaaaaaybe Williams if he ends up playing a bunch and well. The new kicker and punter could conceivably get drafted. Two kickers and one punter were drafted this year. I'll say 10: Hutson, Campbell, Burke, Brevard, Moore, Guilbeau, Taaffe, Moore Jr., Muhammad, and Hill. The rest of the juniors, Arch, and Goosby stick around. Shaw redshirts to get fully healthy. No UDFAs (except the P and K).
  18. I’m not sure what the answer is. The NFL seems to have figured it out. The flip side is that right now we have Houston, Dallas, and Austin playing games in July and August. I just looked it up and the Norwegian and Swedish leagues play a summer schedule. Russia does fall-spring but with a long winter break. Maybe that’s the way to go.
