  1. I feel bad for the GM that takes him in the first round. Not sure if you can teach him not to false start.
  2. Well, if Ewers can't why should I be able to? I kid. Kind of.
  3. I agree. Let's discuss hypothetical's that could happen. What if Sark decides Ol Beantown is the way to go at QB and tells Ewers and Manning to go fuck off and we are going with an unathletic, overweight middle-aged dude who can't throw a ball 20 yards. How would that make everyone feel?
  4. I would be fine with Arch sitting in the pocket next season versus panicking, ducking your head and moving to where the defensive lineman are and sacking yourself or fumbling. Ewers didn't need to be a scrambler. Shit, Dan Marino and Tom Brady couldn't run but they could move around within a pocket and throw the ball. Ewers looked scared out there for much of the time. Appreciate him being a Longhorn but totally glad he is gone. Looking forward to a QB that isn't afraid of his own shadow.
  5. This. If Sark was our OC and we had a different head coach how many would be calling to fire the OC with this ineptitude.
  6. I don't have the numbers, but I am pretty sure when we have a first down play that doesn't gain any yards or loses yards (whether it was a run or a pass), Sark calls a run when it's second and long like 99% of the time. This usually leads to third and long so not a fan of running on second and 10 or second 14.
  7. I am showing 9-11 inches of snow on Thursday with 3 more inches on Friday morning. A foot of snow in DFW would be brutal for days here. Not sure the accumulation would melt (on non highway roads) and they aren’t going to have snow plow trucks clearing all the side streets. Total shit show. I’m supposed to head to Tampa for work on Wednesday but think I may bail as I may not be able to get back.
  8. Totally agree with what has been said. The first time I took the wife and kid to London we did 7 days in London. The British Museum, Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Churchill War Rooms, etc… take days to see and explore. I recommend the British Library also as their “treasure room” had some cool stuff. We also took the train for a day to Stonehenge and Bath. Another day we did Windsor and Windsor Castle. We spent time one day out in Greenwich to see the Royal Observatory and Cutty Sark ship. We didn’t have time to go to Oxford and some other places which just shows there is tons to do just in London and the train rides out side of town. Also, like others have said you do the tourist stuff but you need to spend time roaming the streets, museums, pubs to get a feel for being in London. My wife is one of those plan everything day out fully and it takes away from just enjoying a city so I have had to work to break her from that. Do Paris a different trip as that also can take a week of wandering around Paris and different parts of France.
  9. So is Mike Farrell a dipshit or does he have a clue about football. Listening to him now on the radio and he says Ohio State is far and away the most talented team in college football and should win the rest of their games by double digits easy. Basically he is saying the last two games against Tennessee and Oregon are the real Ohio State and all the other games didn’t matter. He said they were “tight” against Michigan with a bad game plan and that’s why they lost. If they play as good as they can nobody is close to them. I hope our team hears shit like this and comes out with something to prove.
  10. I know this is the Quinn thread, but this play really shows Hayden Connor at his best. I don't think he makes contact with anybody and just kind of stands there. Maybe that is just the play call/ way the defense lined up and he did a good job, but I see way too many times where a run or pass play get blown up and number 76 basically whiffed and didn't touch anybody and is just standing around.
  11. Back when I was in college at UT, a bunch of us went to a Rangers-A's game and we sat in the front row in left field. This was around the time when Rickey was publicly arguing about his pay and that he should be the highest paid player in the league. My buddy yelled at him that if he is the best player in the game, why is he paid as the 30th best player or something like that. Rickey turned around, took his glove off and smiled at us while clapping. He then put his glove back on, turned around and gave us the middle finger behind his back. As far as a baseball player, the dude was the greatest leadoff hitter ever and one of the greatest baseball players of the last 40 plus years. If he got on base (via hit or walk) it was basically a double or triple. With his crouched stance, pitchers were forced to groove a fastball to him instead of giving him the walk and then he would knock it out of the park. Yeah, he had an ego, but all pro athletes do, and we would also if we were playing pro ball somewhere.
  12. Which SEC teams would beat this Indiana “playoff” team? I mean, even the LSU’s, Aggies and Florida's would beat them in my opinion. Not to mention Texas, UGA, Bama, Missouri, Ole Miss, South Carolina. Shit, Arkansas, Kentucky and Vandy could beat this team. 12 team playoffs is fine but they need to not fall for overrated Big 10 teams who play soft schedules.
  13. At least Indiana makes up for their lack of speed and athleticism with being soft, weak and poorly coached.
  14. I am pretty sure he is proposing ideas similar to the EU. He mentioned Europe how cereal has like 4 ingredients and here it has 20 most of which are not good for you. I believe chemicals refers to food additives and not just chemicals or pesticides in our food which should also be addressed if we were an intelligent country. Which we are not.
  15. I may be one of the only people on this site that actually thinks some of RFK Jr's ideas are good. I am all for trying to take some of the chemicals out of our food supply and making the food we eat healthier. I am all for ending Rx advertising on TV/radio. That being said, the idea to stop vaccines like the polio vaccine is bat shit crazy and like many on here know, dangerous to all of us. Can't wait for the small pox parties in the future and every other horrible disease we have found ways to eradicate but I guess if we just stop relying on stupid shit like science and modern medicine, and just pray to Jesus that will take care of us.
  16. So what is considered success with this hire? National championship? Win 9-10 games a year? I am most curious if the NIL he gives out plus the idea of him helping players get “NFL ready” will appeal to young kids or not. If I was a defensive back I would love to learn from Belichick but not sure most kids realize how good he is at teaching that position.
  17. If Golden knocked the DBs arm away I am 100% confident he would have been called for offensive pass interference by that ref crew.
  18. calm down bro. I don't agree with what will happen just stating what will happen. No, the patriots lost the last game of the year and didn't win the title even though they beat the Giants earlier that year. That is why you have a last game, winner take all playoffs.
