Dallas Cowboys 2024 Season Thread -- Jerrah the Asshat Rides Again
So the consensus so far is that the draft hasn’t been a disaster. But I’m really wondering what the Cowboys’ plan to win games is with exactly one offensive skill position player worth a shit.

Deion Sanders "Coach Prime" Now At Colorado
Sanders isn’t good enough to be someone’s #1, and he’s too immature to be a #2. The last fucking thing any NFL franchise wants is their backup/developmental QB rocking the boat in any way.

2025 NFL Draft
Oh, cool. I feel like we should spend 3-4 pages unpacking that vis-a-vis this particular NFL draft.

Dallas Cowboys 2024 Season Thread -- Jerrah the Asshat Rides Again
They overdrafted Booker a little but it’s fine. Smith-Booker-Beebe-Hoffman-Guyton should be a good starting 5 and they can jettison Steele’s sorry ass after this season I think. We’re talking about Jerry and Stephen. Could’ve been way worse.

Good to know that our guy has excellent taste.

Русский корабль - иди нахуй
Maybe Europe gets involved to broker a deal? It wouldn't be as good as a deal brokered by a U.S. that is standing behind Ukraine, but it's probably Ukraine's best option at this point. Russia keeps all the territory and Ukraine gets some weak-ish security guarantees.

2025 NFL Draft
I'm calling it right now - Shedeur falls, the Cowboys pay a kings' ransom to Philly for #32 and pick him, and Jerry crows about how he got "top-10 talent at number 32". Signed, a battered Cowboys fan.

Texas Offseason 2025 - Archmania Is Upon Us
I imagine there's all kinds of ways that guys part ways with a program. To me it sounds like: Butler: "Good luck at your next stop. Turn your badge in to Dolores on the 2nd floor." Niblett: "I just spoke with Coach So-and-So at UNT, he and I go way back. He said they could really use a guy like you and they'd love to bring you in for a visit."

Ukraine War
Well it turns out that his big, beautiful plan to end it was "Ukraine surrender". Pretty shocking that didn't work, huh?

So is the implication here that Shaw's knee is bad enough that he'll be cut loose? Or am I reading too much into it?

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
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.

2025 NFL Draft
It’s satisfying to me that these guys got the “Kelvin Banks isn’t a top 15 pick” nonsense out of their systems.

100%. I bet someone like the Texans was shit talking him to anyone that would listen hoping he’d fall.

They're going for an OL consisting solely of Tylers.

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
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?

Texas Rangers 2025: Pitching has been fire. Bats not so much.
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.

Texas Rangers 2025: Pitching has been fire. Bats not so much.
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.

5 IDL in one transfer cycle is something else

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
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?

Markets still falling like whoa
Up almost 6% so far today. I guess people are expecting it to not be that bad?

Pope Francis: You know that hell thing? Never mind....
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.

Pope Francis: You know that hell thing? Never mind....
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.
