  1. ...which is how he came into ruling the country.
  2. These photos are an inspiration and are going to push me through recovery from my next knee surgery!
  3. Unmentioned, but the BLACKHAWKS STRUCK GOLD last night in the NHL Draft Lottery. Re-sign Kane to take Bedard under his wing and start putting the pieces around him. Don't f around and squander talent like the Oilers have with Connor McDavid.
  4. I caught a little bit of the Baylor re-run last night on LHN. I didn't remember seeing this before, but Whittington was absolutely rocked on a quick screen. Ewers led him upfield on the throw and there was absolutely no one in front to break the momentum of the BU corner. Had it been "live" I would have held my breath and begun praying. But, he hung on to the ball and bounced right up.
  5. Not in the real world
  6. Jenny Craig. Killed by Covid (and Ozempic) Not the Person
  7. I don't know what obligations Modell still owed Cleveland. Clearly enough to be compelled to leave the team name and colors behind for the new owner. I know that even before Bud's contract with Drayton McClane and the Astros expired, he had agreed to move the team. Once that Astrodome lease expired, he owed no obligations to his baseball landlord, the Harris County Sports Authority, or the City of Houston, and was free to go.
  8. The NFL didn't "allow" anything. That was worked out beforehand and was a concession Modell made to Cleveland in the agreement to facilitate his departure because Cleveland had the leverage to do so.
  9. How could they have done that without owning it?
  10. Edit to add: 24.7 Sports Reporting that Lance Blanks has passed away. TJ Ford posted this on Twitter. God bless him, if true. BMW forever.
  11. Legend has it that Bud's dad staked him to some money and told Bud he had to get out of Oklahoma and make his own way in the world. Bud decided to try New Orleans, but he had a layover in Houston on his way there. During the layover, he met a bunch of wildcatters in the airport lounge and before long he was tanked up and had missed his connection. He decided to stick around for a few days and then to financially back the folks that had pitched a deal to him in the airport lounge. He never left.
  12. Watching UDFA signings, salaries, and contracts last night and today. They’re making more and more money than most late round picks. I believe we are going to see smarter NFL teams shifting away from UDFAs by making more of an effort to aggregate late round picks to leverage the salary scale and avoid overpaying for talent that may or may not make the roster. Wouldn’t be surprised to see the NFL add a couple of rounds back to the draft as well.
  13. All of this because Bud Adams got shitfaced on a layover in Houston and missed his connection to New Orleans.
  14. this is why they get the big bucks and I’m a couch potato
  15. or, if they were going receiver, the Michigan receiver taken by San Francisco nine picks later (Ronnie Bell) would have been a better choice
  16. Mr. Irrelevant is Toledo DT Desjuan Johnson.
  17. Agreed. I hope he gets and makes the best of the opportunity.
  18. Speed was supposedly his biggest knock
  19. Ojomo to the Eagles
  20. Brandon Hill Safety Pitt @ 248 Hill redshirted his first year in Pittsburgh (no statistics in four games played) coming off a strong career at Wekiva High School in Florida. He started twice in 10 games played in 2020 (27 tackles, 1.5 for loss, one interception -- returned for a score -- and two forced fumbles) before starting 13 of 14 appearances in 2021, garnering second-team All-ACC honors (81 tackles, two interceptions, six pass breakups). Hill was an honorable mention all-league pick in 2022 (67 tackles, two pass breakups), starting 12 games and then opting out of the team's bowl game to prepare for the draft. -- by Chad Reuter
  21. uhh, see above. Not going to matter anyway. Timed him at USC's pro-day with a calendar. Not quite sure why they picked him.
