  1. He's got elite speed, so he'll get drafted by someone who thinks they can scheme around it. But where does he play in the NFL? What does he do? He's not big enough, can't run inside, and has too many ball security issues to be a starting RB. He's probably not big enough to pick up blitzing LBs nor are his hands good enough to be a third down back. Is he a returner like Turpin? He wasn't our primary kick return guy, and with his hands, not sure he can be trusted to cleanly field punts. I'm just not sure where he plays in the NFL.
  2. I'll be a good Samaritan and offer Leslie Bibb the aisle and sit in the middle between her and Parkey Posey.
  3. Started the first two episodes of Adolescence last night. Really "enjoying" it so far. I think the single-shot per episode is ambitious and impressive, but it's got its drawbacks. Particularly in the chase scene where the detective and the kid are "sprinting" at half-speed so the steady cam operator can keep up and film the action. It looked ridiculous and was very distracting.
  4. It would be wild if Maryland ended up with 2 of the top 4 overall prospects in the country.
  5. Get the chorizo stuffed dates. When we went with our young children a few years back, the uber drivers didn't care if the kids were in car seats, but they weren't infants. Regardless, I don't think the drivers will care. As far as safety was concerned, traffic in the loop goes so slow that even if you were to get into an accident, there's not a high likelihood of anyone sustaining a bad injury. And the loop is pretty much the only place where it's very difficult to find parking. Anything can happen, but you're cruising along at like 25 miles an hour tops for most of the time. When we head into the loop, we always hop on the nearest train, take it to the spot closest to where we want to go, and then either walk or take an uber to our destination. I think that's the easiest and most affordable way to get around downtown.
  6. I've invested too much time to bail, but I'm kind of hate-watching this show now. My complaints: I give absolutely zero fucks about what's going on in the adult timeline. Like, none at all. Especially after they killed of Juliette Lewis' character. The introduction of new survivors in the kids' timeline. We knew who survived, show writers. Sorry you ran out of ideas with the core group and wanted Shanna to have a lesbian experience in the wilderness. Lastly, NOTHING IS HAPPENING!
  7. I also think Innie Mark figured that, provided Lumon doesn't murder him, Outie Mark would eventually find Gemma and explain everything. And that's outie Mark's job. Not innie Mark's job, which is to try to get laid by Helly one more time.
  8. I'd oblige a Piper/Parker Posey threesome....
  9. In addition to "Snow white is supposed to be white, not brown" - Brown-skinned Snow White actress decided to go off script during press junkets and weigh in on the Israel/Palestine conflict, creating a major conflict with her Israeli co-star. She also bad-mouthed Trump and his supporters on social media. All of this while promoting the film. Not smart. They also removed the white Prince from the story. That's my guess
  10. There’s a 150+ page thread discussing it in the basketball forum.
  11. The weirder thing is googling 30 links to awards Tim Tebow won. Imagine being that into a dude that was a virgin until he was like 25
  12. I finally listened to the new Isbell record. I find it to be incredibly boring. It’s not bad. It’s just boring.
  13. He just knows his audience better than anyone else, and tells them what they want to hear.
  14. nttawrt! get your freak on! Eiffel Tower that groomsman with Jay!
  15. You were in a groomsman? With another dude named Jay? At the same time?
  16. On a related note, this is probably the latest spring bloom that I can remember. I usually see the first bluebonnets popping up the last week of February, but almost always within the first week of March. I've seen no bluebonnets, indian paintbrushes or mexican hats pop up. The trees are still barren for the most part. It's kind of confusing because the winter wasn't particularly cold, we've had mostly warm spring-like days since mid-February, and we got some rain this winter. Not sure why the plants aren't popping.
  17. I did the "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" procedure about college football in 2022 so I have no idea what you're insinuating, good sir....
  18. Not sure it was a "great" episode. But I feel like it was an essential episode for story building, and I think it was done well. It just wasn't "entertaining" because none of the characters we love were in it (nor were they in the previous episode). My wife and I took a bunch of edibles and tried to watch it on Friday night. We got about 20 mins in and realized we had no fucking clue what was going on, so we turned it off and watched a Mission Impossible movie. We rewatched on Sunday when we weren't higher than giraffe pussy.
  19. I'm surprised no one has made a film based on Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian. I know like 10 different people have started working on an adaptation, but nothing has ever materialized. But if there's one McCarthy novel that seems perfect for the big screen, it's this fucking powerhouse of a book. I think part of that is that it's really challenging to translate McCarthy's prose to the screen. The only great film made from one of his books is "No Country for Old Men". I guess "The Road" was pretty good too. I thought that "All the Pretty Horses" was successful, but I looked it up and it only made $18 million on a $60+ million budget. So that was a flop.
  20. Do they have a Armanti/D'onta Foreman situation going on with the Bowen brothers? Peyton was the big name recruit but he hasn't done shit. Seems like they only offered Eli to get Peyton, but Eli seems to have surprised a bunch of people by not sucking as a true freshman. Also, what happened to Adepoju Adebawore? He was a national top 10 guy and he's got 10 total tackles in two years with 2.5 sacks.
  21. what the fuck does any of this have to do with Xavier Worthy?
  22. Fair. But I think he left because he was surrounded by a cult of out-of-touch weirdos with a grossly overinflated estimation of their place in the college athletics landscape, and being around Aggy every day made him miserable.
  23. I assumed his drop was related to his measurables. If Turntine is 6'3" and only 260 (on3) to 275 (247) that doesn't fit the "large humans" mold of what Flood usually wants. I assume the staff believes he's got the frame to add more weight, but he'd have to add A LOT of weight if his listed numbers are correct. Seems like an overcorrection, and I hope we are able to sign both him and Ojo.
