He’d be an upgrade in ATL, Pittsburgh, or Tampa (if Mayfield leaves) if they didn’t want to go after a rookie or high priced free agent. If he sucks, he only cost you $1.21M. The Bears, Redskins, or Patriots could bring him in to let their rookie sit on the bench for a year and watch while the team at least pretends to be competitive.

There is a salary cap with a certain amount of money. The salary of the first round pick is much less than what Burns will make. There is likely enough room for one extra impact FA more than whatever you could sign along with Burns. The Texans need as many new impact players as they can get on the roster.

Hard pass. #23 this year should yield a starting caliber OT, WR, DB, or DT on a rookie salary for 5 years (with franchise option on a 6th). The team would still have money to sign an additional high end free agent. Giving up the #23 pick for the right to pay Burns franchise money is not equivalent value over the next 5 years. Trading down a few slots and ending up with 2 Longhorns (Mitchell or Worthy and Sweat? Murphy and Sanders?) would be amazing

Maybe teams will learn a lesson and stop overpaying for stars who have already peaked. LOL jk no they won’t.

7U metro team got moved from AAA to AA to balance division sizes. Beat two AAA teams this weekend 16-9 and 17-10 LOL. We may steamroll the AA and look like ring chasers. At least the boy went 5-6, 6 R, 6 RBI to open the season. Should be fun to let the kids play a ton of different positions and still win.

In 60% of the mock drafts, he’s a first rounder every time.

He used to shit on Texas players before the draft and early in their careers in the 2000s, including VY. I don’t know if it was right before or right after his kid went to Arky. It seemed like he had to be a mouthpiece for whoever his sources were, including mediocre NFL darlings like Jeff Fisher, and put their narratives out there to the mouth breathing NFL masses. ESPN back burnered him when he got sick and Adam Schefter started to come on. Haven’t missed him on air, but RIP. Maybe he can break more stories about who’s in and who’s out 30 seconds before Saint Peter announces it.

Lol lot of hate towards Mahomes who probably had nothing to do with Britt’s employment or drinking and no say in his sentencing. Wouldn’t justice be for Britt to kill himself or Andy or one of the Chiefs’ owners’ kids? Or ironic justice if he gets killed or raped by someone also let out too soon on parole?

The escalation of trade value for top picks for QBs got out of whack. Except for the rare Manning or Luck prospects, they are all scratch off lotto tickets that could boom or bust or just be mediocre. Trading away 3 #1’s or something similar depletes your future roster of impact starters all for a hope the QB prospect pans out. I don’t like Fields, but if the Bears can find someone stupid enough to give them a haul like Carolina did last year, they should trade out again. Last year, as a Texans fan I was worried about Stroud because of how past Ohio St. QBs fared in the NFL, but there was peace in that the decision was left to fate of whichever lotto ticket (Stroud or Young) fell to them without having to give up extra draft capital. I’d feel the same way this year for the Patriots and not want to give up anything to move up and take one of these 3 QBs over another.

Hell yes

And teeth!

Or trading for Fields

At what age do you select dads find that it starts to click for most kids or is every high level kid quite different? Last year our 6u all stars rolled through a joke summer rec league based only on physical talent. Last fall the kids got picked for “AAA” rec ball and they made a jump, but nothing like I’ve seen at a couple 9U select games. Now we’re playing a different rec league with AAA and several select or ex-select kids mixed into the other teams. These boys as first graders might be better than I was at third or fourth grade, but they are still 6 and 7 and have 30 second attention spans. I’m hoping there’s a natural mental leap around the corner and that I’m not holding back their development due to inexperienced coaching.

@tx 3 putt he just gave you the sign to double steal.

Are we at the point this show is like Rogue One, where you don’t get too attached to the characters because you know their end is near? That said, what are the chances Tech is still alive? Will Palpatine hump Omega to produce Rey’s father?

I’d happily take either of them in the 2nd round, but I could see why some have Murphy higher based on consistency, floor, and ceiling. I hope the Texans get a Longhorn in the 2nd round between the WRs, DTs, or Sanders.

Yeah, we voted on that at our last lodge meeting. Next month, we release Xenu from the volcano prison.

This will be my 6th season coaching my 6yo (he’s a young 7U in LL, old 6U under select calendar). I get frustrated every season like I’m on a quixotic one man crusade to prioritize skills development, learning the game, and fostering a love for the game for EVERY PLAYER on the roster over winning LL games and getting a $5 ring. Most coaches in 6U and 7U ignore minimum play rules and keep their top kids at the same key positions all game. It helps them win but does no favors to their studs who don’t learn other positions (or how to be a good teammate or how to deal with losing) or the bottom half of their roster that get minimal IF experience. OTOH, having a losing record is no fun for my kids but I haven’t compromised on my approach. Every season I try to get other managers onboard but the Alpha Bro response is always “coach your team how you want and so will I.” It’s a beating sometimes, but I end up being the most requested coach by the parents. We ended up dropping from AAA to AA this spring. Hopefully the competition difference isn’t enough (among 7U lol) that it impairs my kids’ development but also giving us a chance at a winning record while affording the weaker half of the roster time at P, 1B, SS, etc. Tying into the discussion above, it’s all stupid to think that the best 5/6/7u players will be the best 12u or HS players later on. Some great 7u may quit because his parents put way too much on him. Some potential future stud may quit baseball in 7u because he had an asshole coach that played him in RF all game.

Did you tell your kids which was rated worst by the IVF Mel Kiper?

We rotate all game on defense and kept it the same, just stopped blitzing and played 5 yards off the LOS. Errrbody made it rain chickfila nugs after the game.

Had myself a Mack Brown-related “am I a hypocrite?” moment this weekend coaching my a 4 and 6 yo sons’ flag football team. We went up 22-0 going into halftime. Other team’s coach flashed an upset look and I thought “Should I basically take a knee the rest of the game and not be accused of running up the score on some first graders? Hell no, that’s a Mack move and you gotta get the backups some meaningful reps!” 4th, 5th, 6th RBs (including the 4yo) got all the snaps in the second half with the full playbook. Final score: 36-0. Mack would call us classless clowns.

It’s VGR1’s way of showing love to the folks back home.

Stale and cold?
