    LOL these times.

     

    We all know why SloNeal didn't run at the NFL combine. Fastest 40 for a safety was Nick Cross of Maryland at 4.34 and slowest was Quentin Lake of UCLA at 4.59. SloNeal ran a 4.70. Nobody was in the 4.6s.

    Overview
    Safety prospect with good size and field recognition but major deficiencies that could be tough to overcome. O'Neal puts the work in and it shows with the way he locates routes and rushes on top of them as a zone defender. While he has some success playing forward, he's missing the hips and speed to hold up as a last line of defense against NFL speed. To make the situation muddier, O'Neal was an inconsistent tackler throughout his time at Texas A&M, which could add to the challenge of making a roster in 2022.

  3. Serious question. I may have the opportunity to relocate to either Boston or Chicago for 12 months. Currently living near NYC so accustomed to high COL.  No kids so school not a factor and will rent instead of buy. Again, only for 12 months so there is an end in sight.

    Chicago 

    Pros: centrally located, Cubs and Wrigley, cool architecture, awesome food options, nice downtown, Lake Michigan, the L, closer to the lakes in Minnesota and Wisconsin and cities to visit (Milwaukee, Minneapolis/St Paul, Madison)

    Cons: wind, rough winter, high crime in south and southwest part of city, city and state government 

    Boston

    Pros: Red Sox and Fenway, closer to VT, NH, ME, and Canada, world class universities, awesome Italian in north Boston, lobstah. Hard to beat the fall in the northeast.

    Cons: another northeast city, not sure about mass transit since I am spoiled by the subway system in NYC, colder winter than NYC?

    I've been to both cities multiple times but haven't stayed long enough to really get to know the city. Chicago seems more spread out and rougher around the edge. Boston was harder to drive especially around downtown and The Big Dig. I missed an exit and swear it took me 20 minutes to get back on track. 

    State income tax of about 5% in both so a wash. 

    I am sure there are some fallacies in my pros and cons so not looking for a fight but rather honest opinion on both. Thanks.

    Amazing, with a face like that...you'd think her trainer would have had plenty of ivermectin paste lying around the stable.  

    I guess it wasn't that hard.

    As an actress, IMDb reports Cirsten Weldon was known for starring in projects Hard To Die in 1990 and 1991 drama The Doors

  5. "For those interested in a “very disrespectful and totally non-denominational memorial,” Corren and his siblings are planning a party at B&B Lanes in Fayetteville on May 10, 2022. “Bowling parties were a feature of our life growing up,” he said. “My mom worked at the bowling alley and that is exactly how we’re going to send her off on her birthday.” 

    Surly road trip to NC?

  6. Rode the bike across the Williamsburg Bridge and met the runners on Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn at mile 10. The crowd was raucous and a lot of fun.  Rode back into Manhattan and up to Central Park and saw the runners at mile 24.  They certainly don't look like they were having any fun. Having ran the NYC marathon once, I know how it feels.

    I can't help but think this is Meyer's way of getting out of a bad situation.  All year, his body language has projected that he is miserable. 

    This was a major public mistake and may have been intentional.  If he gave one damn about the Jax job he (1) gets on the plane Thursday night or (2) acts with a lot more discretion while staying behind.  Again, I suspect intent.

    The Jax coaching staff is really not composed to handle losing Meyer as HC.  Charlie Strong is the assistant head coach - he's not getting promoted.  OC Darrell Bevell was 1-4 as interim HC at Detroit, but I think they'd need him to remain as OC for the sake of protecting Lawrence.  Perhaps DC Joe Cullen.  Safeties coach Chris Ash has some HC experience :)

    He'll walk away w/ about $8.5mm, go to some form of "coach retread assignment", and will be refreshed and ready to go in a few months.

    He did the same crap at tosu and Florida.  It's his MO.  He's a good coach, so someone will take a chance.  In a few months, he'll be showered and blue blazered, filled with quarters, and mistaken for stranger by his own friends.

    I wouldn't go beyond 4 days or so in the fridge.  A week is a bit long.  Did it not come with any instructions?

    It came with reheating instructions but not storage. Whole brisket from Cattleack.

    Another early AM pre thaw ride yesterday. Chance of snow later this week, which could signal the end of this great late season run.

    Not mountain biking related but just signed up for RAGBRAI for July 25-31. Looking forward to riding across Iowa. Longest ride is currently only 35 miles so definitely need to get on the saddle more to train
