    He had a good rookie season, then BOB went out and drafted a TE and signed another one. He's 4th on the depth chart now. He had 1 catch for 8 yards in 5 games played.

    Thomas played well down the stretch last season and should be the #1 TE next year.

     

    ehhh i'm an idiot, wrong Jordan. Akins is who I was thinking of.

    BOB has shown zero ability to take developmental guys and make them contributors. The last two picks are developmental guys when there were more NFL ready players available. GM BOB is out thinking HC BOB.

    Jordan Thomas?

    Lulz, BOB trying to be smarter than every other team. Taking these reaches when you have real value still on the board.

    He's a high upside guy with some speed. I think Bill's having a solid draft as far as addressing team needs.

    They completely blew past Miami's pick because of their human interest story absolutely no one is paying attention to or wants to know about right now.

    There are at least 4 position groups that need attention before WRs

    My sources have been whispering that it will be a safety as their first selection, either Winfield or McKinney.

  6. Mark me down for the piece it together route. I have a large all clad skillet that was a gift to me years ago that I use often and absolutely love, but sometimes it's too big for the simple job I'm doing in which case I will use one of my smaller pans. A couple of years ago I bought a 9" stainless steel sautee/frying pan from Ikea for like $40 and it's been a workhorse for me in my kitchen. I use it all the time, along with the $15 non stick skillet I bought at Restaurant Depot for cooking eggs and whatnot. Between those pans, my big ass All Clad, my small all clad sauce pan, and my Le Creuset dutch oven, I'm set. I guess I could add a wok but i don't find myself needing one often. 

    And of course a cast iron skillet is an absolute must imo and something you will come to cherish over the years as you use it and it develops its own story. I ground down all the factory shit off my Lodge recently and have been using it non stop ever since to give it a good seasoned base. I use it for almost everything lately.

    He's not the best LT in football. He's a very good one, but he's not $6M better than every other one.

    Was Lane Johnson?

    Best player doesn't necessarily equate to salary. And he won't be the highest paid T in a year. 

    Look I get it, O'Brien is a clown GM. But at some point, if you consider yourself guided by reason and facts, you have to set aside that bias and admit the positive when called for. He's the epitome of a punching bag right now.

    I'm actually happy that the deal is only 3 years, but once again Bill's value of a player is the exact opposite of every other team in the NFL. Not that he had any choice here. Interesting the Tunsil was able to negotiate the deal himself and doesn't have to give a chunk to an agent. Good for him, if only he didn't false start twice every game.

    How's that exactly? I'm pretty sure Tunsil is held in high regard across the league.

    So does the extension start after his rookie deal expires? So in 2020 he gets $10M+ and then 3 years at the $22M per. O'Brien is an idiot. He painted himself into this corner. I guess the best part is that it's only 3 years, so the next GM/Coach is completely hamstrung by a tier 2 LT.

    I think people are getting carried away with O'Brienitis on this one---it's a good deal for Tunsil and a good deal for the Texans considering the new CBA is going to change the landscape of contracts in money and duration. Sure, O"Brien could have played it smarter earlier, but Tunsil plays a premium position that every team needs and now the organization can turn its attention to getting Deshaun locked up.

    Lulz, had the Chiefs taken Watson and the Texans got Mahomes, this same article would have been written just changing the names. It has nothing to do with the 2 QBs, and everything to do with the 2 HC/GMs.

    I can't imagine any fan of the Texans reading that piece and immediately answering that hypothetical with exactly this. 

    It obviously wouldn't have mattered because Andy Reid is a better coach, teacher, and play caller than Bill O Brien. 

  11. I'm surprised there's been so much talk about dubbing vs subtitles and no discussion of The Innocence Files. I realize that the justice system docuseries genre is crowded but it's worth watching and very well done. 

    On a related note, I'm surprised that no one has done a documentary on Michael Morton yet. His story is equally compelling, heartbreaking, and inspirational as Franky Carrillo or Levon Brooks.

    I finally broke my brisket cherry and smoked a 12.5 lb packer prime on my 18" Weber Kettle. Considering my amateur status and amateur equipment, I was pleasantly surprised how it turned out. Good flavor, solid bark, decently tender and pretty damn good quarantine eatin.
