  1. The sign of a mediocre team is the inability to close out a close game. A bunch of one run losses are still losses. The OL is still trash and DW will be near dead at the end of the year if they don't improve. The secondary is bottom third in the league and the DL is trash outside of JJ. All in all, it adds up to another 9-7 year and a first round exit in the playoffs.

  2. If Tunsil is as good as advertised, then the Texans can put together a decent line for DW. Stills is ok but more importantly he’s durable unlike Fuller and Coutee. The firsts would have been probably wasted anyway, e.g. Howard instead of Dillard. Their terrible draft this year is what led to this trade.

    Dude isn't going to sit out the season and miss out on $15M.  He is going to sign, and then he is going to either play his ass off for the Texans in effort to get a payday/get a contender willing to trade for him or he will immediately be traded at the Texans discretion. Clowney has zero leverage in the situation, unless he is willing to forgo $15M, which I do not believe he is.  That is the reason he fired his agent.

    That's why this is a lose-lose for everyone. JC might miss a couple of games but probably won't be in aerobic football shape for a few weeks and the team won't get anything of near value for him. I put the onus squarely on the team management.

  4. Clowney is a hell of a player who takes some plays off. That being said, he's easily a pro bowl player and BOB and Cal completely screwed up the situation. Now the team has no leverage and they won't get anything near value for a player of Clowney's caliber. Not only that, but his absence will expose the mediocrity of the DL, regardless of what the team calls him, he's a lineman. Teams will double or triple JJ and the rest of the line will do nothing to pressure the QB. He's a real loss and while the OL is trash, DW's career will be cut short or he'll be ineffective and fans will blame him. A total cluster by the team, and I find it hard to believe they're the favorites for the South. I think the Jags win the division easily.

    Would be only the 6th team to do it


    Philadelphia A's 1929-31
    St. Louis Cardinals 1942-44
    Baltimore Orioles 1969-71
    Atlanta Braves 1997-99
    New York Yankees 2002-04

    And the only one with more than 1 WS championship in those time frames was the A's. We'll see.

  7. Anyone been to Harlem Road BBQ? It’s getting a lot of good press and it’s not too far from my house. I’m going to try to get there sometime in the next two weeks.

  8. Pennsylvania woman killed after falling into meat grinder at work

    https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/tanyachen/a-woman-died-after-she-fell-or-was-drawn-into-a-meat-grinder

     

    A 35-year-old woman from Williamsport, Pennsylvania, died Monday while on the job at a meat processing plant in northern Pennsylvania.

    Jill Greninger was working at Economy Locker Storage Company, located near the town of Muncy, around noon when she "tragically either fell or was drawn into" an industrial-size meat grinder, the Lycoming County coroner, Charles Kiessling Jr., told BuzzFeed News.

    Greninger was standing at the top of the stairs next to the machine when the horrific accident occurred.

    According to Kiessling and the coroner's office, the local fire department and emergency personnel were forced to disassemble the grinder upon arriving at the scene, "which took more than two hours until the deceased could be removed."

    Residents of Muncy, which has a population of a little over 2,400 people, are in shock.

    "It's devastating to everyone. I've lived in the community here since 1971 and the store has been up there ... and I've never heard of anything like this before," a local resident told an ABC News reporter.

    The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration confirmed to BuzzFeed News that it is investigating the incident for any workplace negligence, however, it cannot comment on an active investigation until it's concluded.
