  1. Just to update this, Bobby said this morning (posted by ctj in the Archmania thread) that a transfer CB is unlikely because they like Kobe Black.
  2. It’s satisfying to me that these guys got the “Kelvin Banks isn’t a top 15 pick” nonsense out of their systems.
  3. ur mom unholstered my blunderbuss last night
  4. 100%. I bet someone like the Texans was shit talking him to anyone that would listen hoping he’d fall.
  5. They're going for an OL consisting solely of Tylers.
  6. So just to kind of sum up where we're at with portal needs/wants: QB - All set RB - They seem fairly happy here. No visitors/interest that I can remember. Maybe they look at a Velton Gardner break-glass-in-case-of-emergency type guy. WR - Definitely seems like they'd take another badass with experience. Wouldn't everyone? TE - Likely done with Endries? OL - Flood doesn't seem like a portal guy, and we're looking at a huge high school class, so I don't see it. IDL - Gotta be done with 5(!) additions from the portal so far. EDGE - I could definitely see it. We brought in the Stanford guy for a visit. Would have to be someone they think can contribute. LB - This one I'm not sure. Seems like Spence is getting good reviews. Depth chart is a little light in underclassmen though. If the right guy came along that had a few years to play like Watson, seems like it'd make sense. DB - I wouldn't think so unless it's a guy that's just too good to pass up. The depth chart is stacked and crowded. P - Done K - Done Thoughts?
  7. I could definitely see a 6-man rotation unless and until Corbin melts down or someone else gets hurt. They've got to think about limiting innings for Rocker and Leiter, too. Rocker pitched <50 last year, Leiter around 100 I think.
  8. I don't get the point of letting the guy flail in the majors like this. Send him down to AAA to work this shit out. These games count the same as ones in September.
  9. Don’t care, got Parker Livingstone
  10. 5 IDL in one transfer cycle is something else
  11. Now that we're on the subject, is it weird that we haven't pursued any transfer EDGE/DE/Buck/Jack/whatever? We seem a little thin there, especially considering Vasek's injury history. They must really like what they're seeing out of Zina and Terry?
  12. Up almost 6% so far today. I guess people are expecting it to not be that bad?
  13. I just checked and Ouellet is 80 and Scola is 83. I think technically they could be elected (any Catholic male is eligible), but they won't even be at the conclave so it seems pretty unlikely. So yeah, I don't think I'd be willing to put money on them.
  14. Reading between the lines, kinda seems like that's on purpose. I think they're afraid to appoint someone who would be Pope for like 30 years.
  15. NYT listed our dude Pizzaballa, Parolin, Erdo, Tagle, Fridolin Ambongo of Congo, Matteo Zuppi of Italy, and Anders Arborelius of Sweden as contenders. No mention of Ouellet or Scola.
  16. If SPY breaks 500 again, then so help me God I'm going to YOLO all my cash into broad-market equity index funds like the sensible and dutiful middle-aged Gen X'er that I am. Probably a lot of people in the same boat. What else are we going to do? Hookers and blow? I'm too old for that shit.
  17. I just counted up Wikipedia's list. Here's who appointed the 135 Cardinals eligible to vote. It says the rules say only 120 can participate in the conclave, not sure how they make the cut. Francis = 108 Benedict = 22 JP2 = 5
  18. According to Wikipedia, cardinals have to be under 80 to vote for the next guy. Only 135 of 252 meet that requirement (54%). That's kinda nuts to me.
  19. I love the Czarface albums. Especially the ones with Doom. It's 100% "dad rap", but...I'm a dad.
  20. Recteq just came out with a pellet smoker that can somehow also go all the way up to 1250 for traditional high heat grilling. I've been thinking about getting one and getting rid of my Weber gas grill. I only have room for 1 grill/smoker/etc in my outdoor space.
  21. That Mack plant is in PA-7, which flipped from Biden to Trump in 2024.
  22. Yeah "Pulisic isn't a vocal leader and not really a captain-type" doesn't seem like much of a hot take at all. Best player, sure. Nobody is disputing that (except maybe some Jedi stans). Adams should and does wear the armband whenever he's on the field.
  23. I've been hoping that the contact with the Texas State guy is cover for some eventual tampering. "See, we've been looking everywhere for a kicker!". Honestly the TXST guy doesn't seem like anything to get worked up about.
  24. Noooo oneee drinks like Gaston. Stops and thinks like Gaston. Blows off his own head with hijinks like Gaston. RIP
