  1. I was fine with letting Clowney go. He’s a heck of a player but for the price he will demand in his contract, and his health issues and how he checks out mentally so often, he just isn’t worth paying the price that he will demand. I think he’s a bad ass but just my opinion. Hopkins trade obvi a head scratcher but I’m generally opposed to mega-contracts unless it’s a great QB or a JJ Watt/ LT/Champ Bailey total game changer type, so I’m OK with not keeping him around considering his next contract will be worth a gold mine. The headline of this entire thing is how little we got back for him and how incompetent our management is. Going to miss Hop, but he’s the only wide receiver that could be considered elite that doesn’t get double covered because he’s not fast enough.
  2. FUCK! Had great tix to the Dell Matchplay.
  3. The Texans got three compensatory picks for the draft - a 3rd rounder and two 7th rounders. Draft picks now as follows by round: 2,3,4,4,5,7,7,7 A good GM can turn that into solid depth and grab a starter or two. Hopefully we hire one.
  4. Shakablah? Are you 8 years old
  5. I’m interested in that black turtleneck.
  6. Cornelius has a serious Jekyll/Hyde issue. Looks like he should be on an NFL camp roster sometimes, looks like he is a fan who won the ‘play QB’ at other times. Like his game but he’s fucking this up.
  7. Crowds keep growing, guys keep scoring and winning. Fun brand of ball. Also, Bud Light Seltzer is OK but Black Cherry is the undisputed King of artificial flavors.
  8. Not going to try to hold your hand through some explanation. If you’re genuinely interested, there’s literally a mountain of articles to read about it by people who can break it down for you. He has quietly become a great defender.
  9. NY unis are awesome
  10. This narrative has long been proven wrong. Give it a rest.
  11. Watched it, loved it. He’s very Eastwood, and the whole thing has the Kung-Fu Carradine feel. Solid show.
  12. Dark (German) and Black Spot (French) are very noire and mysterious style shows that my wife and I have really enjoyed. Both two seasons to this point. If you can deal with voice dubs.
  13. I disagree on Simmons. Harden is nearly unguardable, but teams scheme to him in playoffs. Try that now and Westbrook will torch you. The whole thing works because we have two all time great scorers, and solid pieces around. Love CP3 but Westbrook just does more damage. Love Capela but he was a non-factor in the plsyoffs. Covington has already shown he’s a superior player. Cant wait for the postseason, let’s just hope we’re hot from the field and playing with high confidence when the regular season ends.
  14. “You didn’t tell me we had high priced talent!” “Don't worry, they’re just high priced.”
  15. I pity anyone who has themselves hung up on dumb shit about Harden or the team, and doesn’t allow themselves to enjoy this. This team is really, really fun to watch. I fucking HATE Utah so much, that was great.
  16. KState is bad. Real bad.
  17. Crowd was much bigger yesterday and people seriously getting in on the act - several groups wearing hard hats and oilfield jumpsuits. Roughnecks play good ball in all phases of the game. Was a little worried early that St Louis rush attack would take the game over but Dline responded well and had a solid game, considering. PJ Walker is a real one. Every time he has the ball in his hands, the fans get excited - having good QB play is key to watchability. He’s a stud.
  18. Often think the same but his job isn’t to be smart, it’s to rile people up and drive clicks and he does that as if he was smart. People are always getting bent out of shape and bringing up his name and articles.
  19. My 2005 visit to a Columbus sealed for all time my opinion on these fucking guys. Animals.
  20. We’ve got guys handing out the AD’s email, begging people to blast him and “hold him accountable” for Herman’s position coach hires.... sorry, but you’re wrong on this one.
