  1. At the prices he charges it adds up fast. Margins suck ass though.
  2. Well maybe Spencer and the Rattlers should have come clean on what he did to get kicked off the team.
  3. The wide range of grades reflects the general stupidity of draft analysts as they all criticize. Yet a lot of them are praising the stupidity of the falcons. Drafts are only rightfully judged three years out. Lots of folks criticized Frederick, Tyron Smith, and Zack for a variety of reasons. There were local beat writers who thought Jimmy fucked up by taking Aikman over mandarich. Thought Emmitt was a reach. These days there are very few o linemen, especially tackles, who come in plug in Ready. The college game doesn’t prepare them for the speed, the complexity of blitzes, the multitude of blocking schemes, etc. you have to look at film for basic talent and attributes, brains and aptitude, interviews, attitude. I think Guyton and Beebe are what you look for, but until they play, and any other o lineman plays, you just don’t know.
  4. Went from 17 to 12 in 77. 12 to 7 in 94. So far Cowboys have zero RBs in UDFA group.
  5. A complete clusterfuck. If he was doing $4.5 mil out of the trailer operation he should have stayed with that. Unless he’s a total idiot with finances that should have provided a nice living. But they fucked that up and did $3m instead of their projected $10. That’s some dumbassery there. The investors didn’t do their due diligence. Having tax liens and a bunch other questionable items should have been a red flag, besides the fact they had zero experience with bricks. And now a very messy pile of loans and liens and ownership issues and also a federal employee investigation. So as often with barbecue, expansion exposes all the flaws. Being able to smoke great brisket never should imply any business acumen.
  6. I’d say they needed more than that. Their two big shows were delivering a 2.
  7. I wouldn’t recommend this show without a strong warning. It’s not what I’d call entertainment. It’s the definition of train wreck. It’s a painful watch thru depravity, insanity, and poor life choices by both leads. We don’t know how much is truth or fiction but the lead dude wrote it. The actress playing Martha is brilliant. She is sweet then disgustingly nasty and filthy then terrifying and homicidal. We finished it last night. If it hadn’t been just 7 30 minute eps we would have bailed.
  8. All teams have a UDFA game. They’ll usually sign more of them than have draftees. With only 7 rounds now it’s critical. Wasn’t that long ago there were 12 rounds. When I was a kid there were 17. So there are udfas that will be starters. Same as early picks that will fail quick.
  9. Lots of funny shit from the Glenn’s on Reddit. They sound like that leave Britney alone dude
  10. I thought she was really hot, and really crazy.
  11. We have no clue as to what calls are made and not. For every trade there’s probably 10 that fizzle. And I’m not one that whines about “reaching” within reason. Go get your guy. I remember there was so much whining about Frederick going late first when some folks had him high 2. Woiuld have been in HoF had he not gotten sick. Ravens take their guy. That Trey Lance 4 pick really hurt this draft. So look at this draft as is plus Trey Lance. Jerry quit drinking. Uhh zeke can be our center. If you take this draft and add a Rb in one of the picks It probably feels better. Go get some UDFAs.
  12. And WR Ryan Flournoy. SE Missouri State. Good senior bowl and on Feldmans freak list. 6 year sr. 25 years old at camp. 6 months younger than CeeDee.
  13. I have no issues with the picks they made. I think they made yesterday’s picks and hit the bar and slept in since they didn’t have a 4. That was a long spell and if they were working the phones no one knows about it. Stephen said after being asked if he’d look at some more moves to get more picks. He said “you don’t want to get too cute.” Of course you don’t want your trade up and then reach like the falcons. But eagles and lions have been working hard and got their players or moving to add picks for next year. This is the issue with the FO. I think he spent so much of his youth seeing Jerry make bad decisions that he is totally risk averse on drafts, trades, FAs.
  14. Why AZ? I want that idiot GM in Atlanta to do something more stupid than drafting Penix at 8. Rattler went to saints. He’ll never throw a meaningful pass in this league.
  15. The change to the kickoff rules is going to change the makeup of those squads. ST is the usual path to the bottom of the 53. It will be interesting to see what Fassel comes up with for KO returns and coverage.
  16. I want ATL to draft Rattler.
  17. Just terrible. My Five year old granddaughter would have better picks and she’d choose based on college team mascots. She likes cows, chickens, pigs, dogs, cats, ducks. Bama, being a poisonous water situation might not fare well. Nor land thieves OU. Texas would do well as would Oregon and Arkansas. I’d there were unicorns that team would all be picked
  18. It’s too bad for them going to such a fucked up organization. They must have backed over a nun to get that. Tepper is going to end up murdering a fan on video at some point.
  19. These analysts just get so focused on one thing. Drafts in a natural cycle have deep years and shallow years. It’s been unnatural since Covid, the changes in redshirting, the portal, NIL, super seniors, etc. it will take a year or two. The NFL needs to rethink its policies as well regarding draft eligibility in light of NIL. The NCAA needs to change its policies as well. Why is it ok to play pro baseball but come back and play football in college? Kids should be allowed to enter the draft and see where they end up and if it sucks be able to return to CFB with their remaining eligibility. Call it the draft portal and if they don’t like the results they can return to CFB at a school that will take them. The loss of eligibility should be at signing of a contract.
  20. Leon was a total jerk. But he’s memorable to me because that was Rocky’s season, the hottest stew ever on the show. Or the kid that Hannah talked into making bad nachos.
  21. Unlike Dan, neither of these goobers have secured any book on their own. They left high visibility gigs and very little of their audience followed them for free. Ain’t many Glenn’s out there to actually pay.
  22. Bullshit from “draft experts” that most never worked in a pro personnel office or scouted. Or played the game. They got beebe and their original target with the trade down. Kneel and is highly rated on the edge. It’s always interesting to see where these experts are after three seasons. They have about the same success rate as a monkey with a dart board.
  23. They don’t have a 4. So it’s a ways until next pick unless they trade up. All that matters is their board built on their evaluations and interviews. Who gives a shit what Mel kiper says. And draft position only matters if they are busts. If they can play no one talks about it. The reality is most of these players will be out of the league in three years.
  24. I feel pretty good with these two new linemen. If Beene is center, and Zack and Tyler at guard that could be formidable. Beene seems to be a meanass player like Zack
  25. So what. It’s a cowboys 2nd round pick. Chances are if he’s not already hurt he will crush a knee in spring OTAs.
