    The thing that keeps coming back to me about Cowboys drafts is that they probably spend more draft capital and salary on OL than any other NFL team over the last couple of decades, yet they seem to be rebuilding their OL every other year. They seem to do poorly at sifting out the later round OL prospects, even second and third round guys are often quick flame-outs, meh... or just total busts.

    That’s because O line is the absolute toughest position on the field to evaluate and you combine that fact with the numbnuts in charge and well there it is.

  2. There are really two possibilities on Jay which is what Troph is dead on about. While both are less than ideal we don’t truly know the motivations:
     

    1. He’s totally aligned with Abbot et al  Not much more to say about that option  

    2. He knows there are bigger battles to be waged and as distasteful as this was he had to burn some decency here to live to fight those bigger battles lest he be replaced by somebody who completely capitulates. 
     

    I’d prefer the Luthen Rael option 2 but who knows.

  3. The Chiefs haven't exactly struggled without Tyreek taking the top off the defense but fuck me.

     

    On the other hand, the Chiefs receivers can't catch so maybe a fit there as well.....ducks 🤣

    It was a lot weirder when the crowd was just the 500 or so loser virgins who hung out in that ballroom in NYC all day long.

    Fair point

    Are their creepier fans than NFL Deaft fans?

    No...."I know what let's go watch them call names and shake hands". It's not unimpressive what a must see spectacle the NFL has made of this thing, but yea they weird.

    Cousins got a big contract. So stupid at 8 to take a QB with so much talent on the board.

    And one that is injury prone at that.

    I had the same reaction to that tweet. All his stupidity but much better grammar. Am I stupid or is there an insanity where he starts claiming he didn't actually write the tweets and that therefore whatever his Truth Social Manager types doesn't have any bearing on a gag order...

    Sure why not....there's nothing sacred at this point that can't be thrown on the fire by Donald J Trump.

     What was Biden doing in 1998? Being a Senator in DC with no reason to frequent women's dressing rooms at department stores, I would imagine.

    Umm, you're taking this way too seriously

    Max chance, 6/28 = 21%.  On the pill and skip one?  Chances are essentially nil.

    Many people are saying that I have really good sperm, maybe even the best sperm, I don't really bring it up because I am not even sure how to discuss it, but many people continue to bring up my good sperm because they think it is absolutely the best sperm, I don't do it because I don't think that's fair.

  10. It may just be as simple as more people don't have kids these days because in our connected world people have a greater realization of how challenging raising kids can be.  People gravitate toward the negative in information so they see things across all the various information mediums of the challenge financially, emotionally, time-wise, the responsibility etc, and that resonates a lot more than anybody like me saying while it is and has been those things it has also been extremely rewarding, fulfilling and wouldn't trade it for the world. 

    People can easily attach to more concrete notions of "I'm gonna have less money, less time, emotional stress, and more responsibility."  It's harder to attach to the vague notions of "rewarding, fulfilling, etc".    Less money is less money...concrete, factual.  Fulfilling is an idea that varies from person to person.  Are you gonna risk what you are pretty damn certain will be the case (less money) for something you can't be certain of until you get into it (fulfilling)?

    I dunno...just spitballing.
