  1. The guy that literally had no interest in playing football?
  2. Every hitter on my team that doesn't play for the Rays is fucking useless. Every day it's just a parade of 0-for-4s and a .550 team OPS. Thank God for my two Tampa Bay _andys.
  3. Yeah whoever is perceived as being in 2nd place after spring of '24 is gone. There's no point in Murphy transferring before the '23 season, unless someone makes him a big NIL offer, which probably won't happen. He was highly ranked, has a giant arm, put some nice things on tape in the 2023 spring game, comes from a known quantity development-wise, and has been a fine citizen so far. If he can show some good stuff in mop-up duty this year and next spring, he'll have mid-tier or better programs falling all over themselves to hand him the keys to the kingdom for the '24 season. Our backup in '24 is not currently on the roster unless Wright just really, really fucking loves it here and they've offered him a nice grad assistant gig when he finishes. Much more likely, it will be a grad transfer that wants to play school, or maaaybe Trey Owens if he's an early enrollee. We'll be hunting 5-star recruits for the 2025 recruiting class. All this assume that Ewers leaves. Doesn't seem like a foregone conclusion to me, but a lot of smarter people than me seem to think so.
  4. Christian Walker has 3 homers in the last two days, while sitting on my bench.
  5. Murphy is fucking RAKING this year
  6. His intended audience either never hears or doesn't give a shit about the "and then..." part.
  7. Simply no way to tell from that picture. His head might look like this.
  8. Wonder what the story with Ringo is. The NFL loves every other player from that UGA defense
  9. Lol who is this fucking clown
  10. ESPN’s app has him currently sitting 7th on the best available. Agree he’s probably gonna slip to tomorrow though.
  11. Achane to the Dolphins. They got some serious speed on that team.
  12. Torrance, Hyatt, Ringo all still on the board as I type. Which means they’re going to draft someone no one has heard of.
  13. I think it's fine. He's basically Jonathan Hankins but more athletic and a much higher ceiling. Should be a good run plugger right away, with the potential to develop some pass rush ability eventually. Fact of the matter is, there doesn't seem to be a lot of difference makers in the late 1st round range in this draft. Looking at who was picked after Smith and who is left, there's not a player that we should all be screaming about them drafting. Clearly all the TE stuff was a smokescreen, which the Cowboys have shown themselves to be pretty good at. I think they looked at the TEs and said none of these guys are truly freak difference makers. It's a solid TE class but there's no Kyle Pitts here. That's a defensible position. The guy out of Georgia is pretty interesting to me, but even he would have been kind of a reach at 26.
  14. I’m a Texans neutral (Cowboys fan currently living in Houston) and I really like it for y’all. Got cornerstone players on both sides of the ball tonight.
  15. There's a new house about 10 doors down from mine that is basically identical to mine - same builder, same floorplan. The new one has an extra half bath mine doesn't. It sold in late December for $X. Honestly I think the people overpaid, too. Other very similar houses sold earlier in 2022 for like $X - $60k. So of course Harris County appraises us at $X + $100k. Uh, what? Uploaded some comps into Harris County's system, including the new house and those earlier 2022 sales. They came back and knocked me down to...exactly $X, to the cent. So, according to Harris County, a buyer with $X to spend on January 1 could have bought a brand new house with an extra half bath, or spent that same money on my house that's been lived in for two years. Makes total sense.
  16. Mattress Mack in shambles
  17. I think he beats Trump pretty easily. On the flip side, I think DeSantis would be favored over Joe. The age thing will be a big issue, and honestly I don't think that's out of bounds. How many people in their mid-80s do you know who are energetic and 100% sharp? I guess nobody trusts Kamala to get it done? I don't know a ton about her, but she must be a dud behind the scenes or something.
  18. The average Fox News viewer has no idea what a podcast is. Maybe he can try AM radio.
