    As a human being, I like Boomer Esiason, by all accounts a very solid dude. 

    I can't find a single fuck to give about who the blah-blahs are on any of these shows. Fox or CBS. Sports talking heads come and go, as it has been and always will be. As many have mentioned, you put them on and mute the broadcast while pregaming. It's just background at this point. 

    Boomer's syndicated talk show isn't bad. A little bland, but it's decent.

    I never watch that shit anyway. It has become totally worthless. I just watch the games.

    Same and this goes for any sport. These pre and post game shows are terrible now.

    As well as virtually ever sports talk commentary show in all media today. They just make fans stupider and less informed.

    This organization doesn't have a good track record when they reach for picks. Taco, Mazi, Schoonmaker, Kelvin Joseph, Nashon Wright, Trysten Hill, etc

    If feels like every draft they have when they pick about 24 instead of something like 17 or higher. They tend to be shitty.

  4. Beebe is solid, high floor, but probably won't be a pro bowl type. Solid pick, but I'm not feeling this draft at all. Edge guy has high grades, but the Cowboys seem to draft an edge early every year that never pans out and is gone in a couple of years. OT is drafted on potential more than being a proven guy. It doesn't seem like they are checking off needs the way they need to. They're gonna have to have a big post-draft free agency bargain period.

    If he can beat out Terrence Steele put him at RT. Move smith to LT. Steele to LG.

    Need to draft a center in 2 or 3.

    Guyton at RT makes sense, but I don't see Steele as a guard. The Cowboys seem to want to keep Smith at guard, but he seemed to take to left tackle pretty well, not sure that isn't the best option.

  6. 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.

    Watch Jerruh use a 3rd Rd pick to select another former blOU player...

    Spencer Rattler   😬

    I'm thinking they are drooling over the top 40 yard kickoff specialist. Probably left footed so the ball spins funny.

    Can't believe there are fans hating on the trade down. It was the perfect move for a team with at least four enormous holes and no 4th round pick.

    One of Barton or Jackson Powers Johnson will still probably be there.

    Trade down was a good call. 24 is not a great place to be in this draft, or most others. Dropping down a few spots will get a similar level player and they get the 9th pick in the 3rd thrown in. They just have to nail soe good picks.

    Not sure Guyton is a plug-in left tackle, not a ton of experience there, has had injury history as well, developing player. Thought maybe they would go for Sweat or Brooks, but they have a lot of needs. I wouldn't be that thrilled about taking a center there.

  9. Center speakers are the most misunderstood of almost every setup, and almost always too small for the job when packaged in a set, though it's the most important part of a surround system. Tough to get the adequate volume and tone in your dialogue with little tinny speakers. I have wired two 8 or 10-inch stereo speakers together for that function with a decent degree of success, far better sound, but it takes up more space. These days I prefer to just use two big external speakers without a surround system and just run it stereo or virtual surround and they sound great.

  10. My friend's soundbar is total shit, can't hear dialogue. Wish I could replace it with something. Soundbars in general are shit for a big tv. There's not much room there for receiver with external speakers, so might just look for a bigger decent soundbar that won't be a waste of money. Not many people really understand how those things work.

    I had an older heavy 50 inch dumb TV with big speakers in the front, like God intended, stashed away for the game room. But it got donated to the poors behind my back. Great picture, sounded damn good with no attachments and didn't have to fudge with streaming shit. Pissed me off bigtime.

  11. I think this qb class is vastly overrated. Great college qbs that I'm not sure will translate well to NFL and may have long term issues. I wouldn't want to be one of the teams needing to draft a qb early. Later rounds may produce better long term prospects.
