  1. Yeah, either they want flexibility if the best available they have rated significantly higher than the best OL on the board, or they are trying to play mind games and make other teams think they may not go OL, so that one of their top 3 OL falls to them (then they cut one or more of these non-guaranteed contract FAs).
  2. He listed his primary residence for sale about a year ago. I don’t know if it was related to an illness or not.
  3. I went to middle school with one of his daughters so this hits close to (my former) home. I met him a handful of times, and he was always as nice, light hearted, and joking as he came off in his grill infomercials. RIP champ.
  4. Coach interference. Runner is out. 🤣 Agree on batting order. Spreading out your strong and weak hitters is key to keep it moving.
  5. Caserio is crafty there only guaranteeing $89 of the $90M 😂
  6. The old timers at Rice that saw him in action all said that with his speed and size he’d still be a stud in modern college football and not a “plumber” as the modern urban youth say.
  7. My wife’s friend has let her 8 year old sleep in her bed 99.9% of his life, and it has caused major problems if she ever has to travel for work or with her friends (can’t be gone more than one night and it’s a major ordeal). Be warned, all ye with adorable toddlers. We have some other friends who allowed a habit to form when their toddler aged kids started sleeping in a real bed, “if they woke up and were scared,” the kids were allowed to come crawl into their bed. Still happens to them 5 or 6 nights a week, any time between 2 and 6am, and the kids are now 7 and 5. They have to bang before midnight like their kids are mogwai.
  8. Yeah, well another Ben Roethlesberger isn’t just going to walk in the door. And if he did, he would lock it behind him and force you to suck him off.
  9. I don’t know if Kupp is washed or not, but the Rams put out that they are about to cut him. This could be a Joe Mixon opportunity where you swap 7th rounders and get Kupp, whose 2025 cap number to the new team is only $5m.
  10. Adding to Brazil's suggestions: I did base running as the warmup almost every practice. Getting them to run through 1B and listen to base coaches will save you a lot of dumb outs as the season goes. Teach them to get the glove down in the grass with the "alligator" hand on top. I found having beginners point their glove hand at the target got them to square up and throw straighter. Most t-ball kids don't absorb anything you teach them about swing form. If you can get them to set their feet correct with strong legs while keeping their head on the ball, you are way ahead of the game. If you don't have enough kids that can catch at 1B, you can teach them bounce throw it from farther distances towards the base where it two or three hops to the first baseman and they can stop the ball. Keep the catcher engaged to grab the 3 foot dinker hits for the force out at home.
  11. Perfect Game: where you can go 1-3 on the weekend and the kids somehow get a ring for runner up in the silver bracket 🤣
  12. NYG, NYJ, Browns, Titans, Raiders, maybe Steelers, maybe Saints. Rodgers and Cousins will go somewhere, probably Darnold too (as well as Wilson and/or Fields depending what Steelers do). Those teams in the top 5 might rightfully be scared off picking Sanders that high. It’s very conceivable he could tumble to late 1st or 2nd round. Maybe there’s a dark horse like Seattle or Rams that would take him thinking their current QB will only be around one more season.
  13. I never understood why they’d wouldn’t allow the kicking team to recover short kicks in the new setup so “surprise onsides” are still part of the game. If a kicker has to pop it right over the wall of return team players, the kicking team doesn’t have that much separation to create violent collisions (since this was all allegedly in the name of player safety).
  14. I have been wondering if "annual audits" by FDA that have been 18 months apart since covid will now be more like 2 years. I don't have any new 510k submissions on my immediate horizon. Winning? As best I understand, they are FDA employees but the budget for their salaries are derived from the various fees imposed on device and pharma companies. I don't know if DOGE's plan (lol, like there is a plan) is to reduce the fees, or to cut FDA's budget and the (remaining) fees collected for the employees they kept. Regardless, I hope there is more reasonable and efficient mechanism for FDA approvals and audits when the dust settles.
  15. I agree, but the brick red hats for 2025 are already on the internet for purchase. Hopefully it's just a one-off product offering for people who are nostalgic of the Carlos "El Taco Caballo" Lee era.
  16. I think it was the same shoulder. He came in with length but not mass, but was good enough to get DE snaps as a true freshman (we know how much Mack loved redshirting people). If he had put on the muscle, he could have been very productive, but the shoulder gave out and football was done.
  17. Is he going to threaten to move the team to St. Louis? San Diego and Oakland aren’t building a stadium for him.
  18. LBJ is a self-absorbed little bitch? That’s so out of character.
  19. Is KD likely to make a huge impact with this year's team's success? We'd hope this team as is could make it at least to the second round. Since leaving Golden State, KD's team's went: '21 Nets - 2nd round exit '22 Nets - 1st round exit '23 Suns - 2nd round exit '24 Suns - 1st round exit I'd trade Jalen Green and filler for KD, but I wouldn't give Phoenix their picks back. It's still a good trade for Phoenix if they think Green could still become a star at a currently lower price point and younger than KD. KD could be the man to take clutch shots down the stretch of games for Houston, or he could be an aging star who breaks down.
  20. Every university, public or private, has their own policy on patent ownership, generally ranging from the school owning 40-75% of revenue generated
  21. One week in JV football, we played @Nimitz and for some reason Quentin Griffin (future OU RB) got put down to the JV squad. I blitzed from outside LB in a 3-4 defense right into their option pitch and blew him up for a 5 or 6 yard loss. I think he went for a 60 yard TD the next play. A few years later as a UT undergrad, I watched him score 6 times in the 64-14 game and frequently insinuated that Reed Boyd was unable to do what I did as a JV LB. No helmet stickers though. Coach didn't believe in that "weak shit."
  22. ...and no experience calling plays.
  23. I thought they were going to sell Lebron a Vegas expansion franchise at a below market rate?
  24. *they can let him walk in two years as a free agent and get a compensatory pick for him. If they cut him (and the story is Rams don’t want him/his contract), they get no picks. Everyone knows the Rams want to dump him now. They won’t likely get a 2nd or 3rd round in a trade. If Texans are interested, it’s all a poker match. Are there other teams interested in taking on the 2yr/$40m he has left? Enough to give up a pick? Maybe some 6th for a 7th swap bullshit? If not, wait for the Rams to cut him. They could claim him on waivers to insure they get him (possibly overpaying him), or wait it out and sign him for less as a free agent. OTOH, Texans may get a comp pick if Diggs signs elsewhere and they don’t sign anyone of note (trading for Kupp or claiming him off waivers would work).
  25. Dome Hideout was awesome. Went several times that year, felt like it was in there two or three years but I’ll take the committeeman’s word for it. Going down the tunnel and then onto the floor, throwing down $6 crown and cokes, and looking up at the Astrodome ceiling as you two stepped with some young drunk lass in a denim skirt was peak bachelorhood for me.
