  1. I think Memphis wants to use Parsons in a trade down, not a trade out of the draft or into another draft. It might be worth it for LAC to move up and take him. It would not be worth it for us to move up one spot and take that contract. With the Boston rumor and now this, I think media are leading fans on and getting their hopes up on some silliness.
  2. While this is my favorite show of all time, it's documented that Ambrose fabricated some of his writings and intentionally claimed some things that were proven to be false. Thankfully it's mainly small stuff with Band of Brothers, but it's much larger stuff with some of his other work.
  3. Scent of a Woman - Hallmark movie quality.
  4. Never mind. Bad memory on my part.
  5. Let Nolan have it when they go to a new Bond actor. Sometimes I think it'd be cool to take the series back to the 1960's. But I understand there are cons to that.
  6. Plus, it's discouraging that they still think he's a player you can build around. It tells me we don't exactly have a forward-thinking front office.
  7. I don't like the 5th spot simply because we're too low for Doncic and too high for one of the wings. I want to emulate Boston's strategy of loading up on interchangeable wing assets. Since the Mavs in 2011, it doesn't seem like teams are winning with 7 foot traditional centers. And this draft is a Center-heavy draft at the top. Who would be more likely to get playing time on a Finals team in the next 5 years? Ayton, Bagley Bamba or... Doncic, Mikal Bridges, Miles Bridges Jackson Jr. is the only big who looks like a modern NBA big. And he doesn't really wow me. He just happens to be okay at the things that matter now. Oddly enough, I sort of envy the Clippers in having 2 late lottery picks. They can take the wing players that fall, and they get two.
  8. Yes, that's what I was saying. Packaging next year's first with this year's first. Ayton and Doncic are the two guys in this draft who have a chance to be franchise-altering-type players. I'd take either, and be happy for a long time.
  9. So Doncic is saying he's not sure if he will come over next year. I don't think it's a coincidence that he said this just after the Lottery. He probably doesn't want to go to Sacramento. Sacramento doesn't have a 1st round pick in 2019, so maybe they'd be willing to trade down if they could pick up somebody else's 2019 1st round pick. If I'm Dallas, I would give up next year's 1st for Sacramento's pick. Or at least a pick swap next year. Consistently drafting in the 5-9 range is what leads to sucking forever like Orlando and Sacramento.
  10. Saying "Mike & Mike was good" while criticizing anything else, really calls into question your taste.
  11. Romo clearly had personality and humor. Even if you just compare their commercials, you can see that.
  12. Has Witten ever said anything remotely interesting? He talks exclusively in old school football guy cliches. Why would anyone throw money at him.
  13. "Pretend like you know what you're looking at."
  14. Herman made a comment in the post game about being pleased with the improvement in the O-line, which he made clear wasn't evident in the Spring Game due to shuffling guys in and not ever having the best 5 together. He doesn't seem like the type to speak positively about a position group unless he means it.
  15. I read the comments on here before watching the Spring Game. What I expected to see based on what I read here... 1. Buechele and Ehlinger throwing mostly incompletions and throwing for about 100 yards combined. 2. Thompson and Rising looking amazing and hitting most of their throws. What I actually saw... 1. Buechele and Ehlinger completing most of their passes for well over 100 yards each. Intermediate passing game looking okay. Misses on deep throws. 2. Thompson and Rising looking like freshman but showing some flashes.
  16. Been watching lots of videos of DJ Moore, even his showing against Texas unfortunately. He is way better than Ridley once he has the ball in his hands. He's like a RB and can drive defenders back. Kind of like Dez in that regard, but less reckless looking. He also has impressive hands and seems to make catches with defenders draped all over him. He definitely made Hill and Boyd look silly a couple times. Both receivers should be productive, but Moore seems like the kind of guy that drives a defense crazy.
  17. I mean, Dallas will have a 28% chance to get a top 2 pick. There's a chance.
  18. Last year, I wanted Dennis Smith for the Mavs from the beginning. Was thrilled when he dropped to us. This year, I'm hoping for... 1. Ayton 2. Doncic After that, I kind of have Bamba, Bagley, Jackson, Mikal Bridges all about the same. Don't want Trae Young. Don't want Sexton because he's too much like Smith. Don't want Porter (yet, I'll end up talking myself into him) because I just don't know enough.
  19. Keith Law had him graded as a potential top 10 pick coming out of high school. This thread makes me think I'm alone in this, but I actually think he's going to be a good college QB, and he's kind of fun to watch. OU sucks and all, but short QBs have done quite well at this level before.
  20. Can someone explain to me how the order will be decided if Dallas, Atlanta and Orlando all finish with the same record?
  21. The shoulder stripes look kind of awkward, but overall I think it's an improvement for them. Kinda like the one color number font.
  22. They said the silent won't announce until next month. Then the next paragraph says Watson will announce May 4th. Makes it seem like it's Watson, but that isn't very subtle of them.
  23. Didn't realize Floyd was ranked 40th in the nation. Damn. Looks like we're building a defense that will be consistently; not just have a good year every few seasons.
  24. What exactly happens when a kid breaks the "no visit policy"? They're really going to rescind an offer? Sounds like an empty threat with no upside. Like when I was a kid and my parents wouldn't let me have ice cream one time and I claimed I'd never eat ice cream ever again. "...okay...?"
