  1. There could be a few cuts before camp, but most will come during the final roster chop around the final preseason game. There could be some good OL that are cap casualties.
  2. @Antidean @Rivers or anyone else that may have knowledge, because I'm a moron about batteries. My wife talked me into buying a new Icon electric cart 3 years ago. They came with six 8 volt AGM batteries that are supposedly no maintenance (don't need to add water, etc.) and the cart has an internal charger and we were instructed to leave it plugged in all the time. We only use it in the neighborhood, and after we got our pool last year we only take it out about once every 6 weeks on average. The other day we got it out (charger light indicated it was fully charged), but the dash display said battery was only 65% and it wouldn't go faster than 11mph. I drove it a couple miles then plugged it back in over the weekend. Now it says it's fully charged but the battery display says 28%. The Icon company won't respond to my questions, and the dealer I bought it from in Tomball wants to charge me an arm and leg for a diagnostic, then sell me either a new set of AGMs for $2500 or upgrade/convert to lithium for $3500. I don't know if any of my description gives hints at what the problem is (infrequent use killed one or more AGM batteries? Defective charger?). Is converting it to lithium myself the best option, or is $3500 a good price to not have to hassle with it myself? The other consideration is since we stopped using it frequently, we could sell it and maybe upgrade to a Polaris/CanAm later for off-roading capability. I'm going to take a bath on the transaction since we bought new during late Covid at over $9k and I'd probably be lucky to get $7k with working batteries. If I go that route, do I buy "good" AGM or find the cheapest 8v lead batteries I can find and then sell it?
  3. Anyone got a stud 8U that wants to play in Tomball/Spring this weekend? We need all the help we can get.
  4. I should have known moving back to the Woodlands wouldn't re-qualify me as Houston Shaggy.
  5. No news is better than finding out they are back to eating bats who got STDs from pangolins.
  6. The Mertz pick is very confusing. They gave up a 7th rounder to move up and get Mertz, who they could've signed as an UFA. Cam Williams and other OL options were available, and if I was Nick I'd have taken multiple OL in 6th and 7th round and just see who among them can be a player in training camp.
  7. Plenty of great college QBs don't have NFL talent. Sam had a lot heart and grit, and that goes a long way in college as long as you have a decent skill set and don't make a ton of mistakes. Sam threw well enough, and was an asset in the run game. Quinn has the better arm and vision, but he had zero mobility (why did Sark call so many zone read type plays where everyone in the stadium knew Quinn would never keep it?), throws off his back foot, not a great deep threat, yada yada. I think the 2024 team would've had a better chance to win a championship with Sam at QB, but it's also possible Sam could've made mistakes that cost us a regular season game or two. Sark would prefer Quinn because he's so sure his system is brilliant and Quinn is a precision instrument he can plug into it. Sark's strategy and situational playcalling has to improve, no matter who plays QB.
  8. Did the Texans ever mount the head of that practice squad WR who ran the wrong route and obliterated Tank’s knee on a pike facing Kirby Dr?
  9. Chargers and Eagles had a deal at #21 but didn’t get it into the NFL in time
  10. The two ISU WRs would both probably be gone by their next pick. I’m still salty they didn’t give up a 3rd or 4th to move up for Golden.
  11. The Colts had the #2 pick (Marshall Faulk) and the #5 pick (via trading Jeff George to the Falcons). The Colts GM took Trev Alberts (yes, Nebraska and future aggy dumbass) at #5 instead of Dilfer, and Kiper ripped him for passing on Dilfer for the corn dumbass. Dilfer wasn't an all-pro, but Trev sucked so Kiper was correct.
  12. LOL that's what we do here. I was bitching about the Will Anderson trade last night, not because it wasn't a great pick/player, but because of the value of the trade. The lower you pick or less you give up for HOFers, the smarter you are. If you reach on a player 20+ picks higher than the field consensus, you better be right.
  13. Not at #34. Take best available player or trade back another 5-10 spots for WR/OL
  14. The two ISU guys, Burden, and Bond look like the next cluster of WRs. Hopefully they walk away with at least one of them. What about one of the Ohio State RBs if they are actually bad asses that can make more a difference than any retread we have at RB2 (or could take over RB1 in 2026)?
  15. Who? Cleveland has #33 and 36 if they want him. Tennessee won’t take him at 35. Raiders (#37) and Saints (#40) are the other candidates, but I don’t think Saints want him. Maybe Raiders trade up IF Cleveland lives dangerously and takes someone else at #33 but planned to grab him at #36? Doesn’t seem likely but the Browns and Raiders are both dumb.
