    John Mayer is so awful that he singlehandedly makes Dead & Co. completely unappealing to me. He's obviously very technically proficient but his voice and even his guitar tone are just nauseating. Actually now that I think about it he is kind of the PRS of guitar players. Sure it's well made, there's clearly skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail going on, but somehow it all just adds up to being really bland and offputting at the same time.

    Look at this thing. Fuck this thing. It looks like how John Mayer sounds.

    I like it a lot except for the goofy dragon thing.

  2. A straight up Dez for Earl wouldn't be the worst idea ever. But I think a couple of things keep that form happening. Earl is in his contract year and will be a free agent in 2019 and probably will demand stupid money, so he's probably a rental. Dez is still under control for two years, but they still have a reasonably cheap opt-out option at the end of 2018.

    And there's simply no player on the Cowboys roster or in the draft that can be expected to be a number one recevier with any amount of confidence.

    So I continue to believe Dez isn't going anywhere, and perhaps will give the Cowboys some salary relieve with some incentives to gain back some lost income, perhaps even more, if he steps up and performs. As little confidence as I have in the Cowboys front office strategery, they seem to have actually done a pretty decent job leveraging to convince Dez to take a slight pay cut.

    All these crazy WR contracts are why I don't think there's a need to cut Dez right now. His pay isn't crazy anymore compared to some of these contracts.

    Precisely what I've been saying.

    As disappointing as Dez is, he's a better impact player than Jarvis Landry. WR salaries are just getting stupid high.

  4. I'm not sure what the point was. Alshon was decently high priced, which is pretty much in line with a bloated market. But he certainly didn't put up elite receiver numbers, with 57 catches for under 800 yards. Their TE had more catches and yards despite missing two games.

    Rangers top prospects in 2013:

    1) Jurickson Profar - injuries derailed what could’ve been an all star career. Now utility player at best.

    2) Mike Olt - also had frequent injuries. Traded to Cubs for Matt Garza. Clear bust.

    3) Martin Perez - never the same after TJ but has at least been durable last 2 seasons. League average starter.

    4) Leonys Martin - showed flashes but could never hit enough. Still an elite CF.

    5) Luis Sardinas - good defender but couldn’t hit. Traded for Gallardo. 

    6) Luke Jackson - didn’t work as a starter. Switched to bullpen and then didn’t work either.

    7) Cody Buckel - who?

    8) Lewis Brinson - could be a star. In an ideal world, would be our current CF. Instead, we got 12 months of shitty Lucroy and Jeffress.

    9) Justin Grimm - didn’t turn into a starter. Traded for Garza. Has a WS ring so good for him

    10) Jorge Alfaro - main piece in the Hamels trade, but has been a bust so far. No patience at all. Doubt he turns into anything.

     

    Almost makes you miss Oddibe McDowell, doesn't it?
