  1. If ChatGPT is becoming self aware and chose to learn from Surly, it will end about as well as that Tay-Talks ai bot a few years ago.
  2. Peter Quill dropped a mad bomb to break the Yankees’ winning streak record. I believe Hatteberg had more total bases than Peña for the rest of that season (?), which helped the A’s make the playoffs. Astros will need better analytics to determine how much of a batting discount is Maldonado’s defense worth.
  3. There’s no 2023 Little League thread, but coaching kball and CP6 this year has been full of those moments where you know this is as good as it gets. This is my fourth season with the older one (fall/spring tball, fall/spring CP6). Every year I seem to get a disproportionate number of kids who never played before and kids with varying levels of autism. We won 2-3 games per season up until now, and they usually only give me 3 or 4 players from a previous season and the rest are noobs. This squad of misfit kindergarteners are hitting 10-12 hit off the pitch per game and learned how to turn quick outs at first and third. Last night we upset the #3 team in the second round of the playoffs. There’s no game like it.
  4. Term limits should also take care of most of the olds.
  5. Username somewhat conflicted. Not sure if AC dry humped or not.
  6. Can you have him tell his Aunt Amy to stop being such a stupid, vindictive bitch and return the Oilers name to the fans of Houston? Who is she spiting at this point? Most City of Houston and Harris County politicians from that 1990s era are either relocated and/or dead.
  7. Anyone weigh in on mustache theory? Moff Gideon had a mustache in S1 and S2. The Gideon that fought Din, Bo, and Grogu in the S3 finale (as well as the clone in the tank) did not have a mustache.
  8. Fuck Amy Seaskunk Adams, her dad Bud, and the dead raccoon who lived on his head.
  9. This is awesome and about 7 years old. I think JJ Watt shared it when it first circulated. I understand Adams having trademark rights on the “Houston Oilers” name and logo, but I don’t know how they have rights to color schemes when so many teams have shared color palettes. The Oilers name would do more for the fans than Columbia blue, but the colors would go a long way. And if Adams has some claim on “Columbia blue”, why couldn’t the Texans say they will use Carolina or some other pastel blue with the “battle red” and “Liberty white” they already claim? Are the other owners really pro-Amy Adams over McNair+generally doing the right thing by NFL fans?
  10. Sure, and consensus ratings might not mean much in the first 20 either. But a consensus top 30 player probably has better odds of success than a consensus #100 player. My default position is that Caserio is an idiot who thinks he’s smarter or more analytics driven than other GMs. The 2 first round picks last year are still TBD but aren’t looking good. His 2021 draft didn’t have a first or second round pick, but he reached on every player that draft (Nico Collins and Brevin Jordan can be below average contributors. Congrats?). This year he bet the farm on Anderson (who they should’ve taken #2 sans trade), either to appease Demeco or more likely in a win-now panic over his own job plus convince Cal it will excite the fan base and sell tickets. He stayed put and didn’t trade up to get the C Schmitz, which is fine, except as soon as Schmitz went off the board, then Caserio spent picks to trade up and get his next highest rated C. Did he have to trade up to get Juice? If he was willing to trade up, why not a couple picks earlier to get Schmitz? Hopefully Tank does great at WR and PR, but Hyatt is a Will Fuller type homerun threat that would’ve paired well on the outside with Metchie in slot. Now we have Metchie and Tank…who plays outside? In the 4th, he traded twice when players like Ringo, Utah CB, Roschon, and the other Ohio St. OT on the board. Even prior to Caserio, the Texans have a history of taking very long shots in rounds 5-7 (maybe 4th too) that hang out on the practice squad for a year then get cut. Before you say most 5-7th picks are long shots, teams that draft guys that have slipped for whatever reason, or take guys with blue chip pasts from P5 programs have better odds of late blooming and making a roster than the DT from Eastern Kinnesaw St. or the TE from Pontius Pilate Plilates D3. Last year the Jets were the post draft darlings, and it turned out correct. This year it’s the Eagles followed by the Giants, and neither team had to make trades to get good players lower than their perceived value. You look at Houston’s draft and if Stroud and Anderson aren’t both stars, it was a fuckup. If Juice and Tank can’t be a contributors, it was a fail. Is anyone seriously expected regular season contributions from anyone taken after Tank? They might as well have traded their 4ths, 5th, 6ths, and 7th for another good 3rd round pick if that’s how Caserio drafts/evaluates.
  11. So the Rams are still F’ing them picks?
  12. And they trade out twice and don’t take Ringo, Phillips, or the Ohio St. OT
  13. You were touting LZ’s grades. LZ had the Minnesota center rated higher. Caserio could have pulled the trigger and got him, but waited and got the next guy a rung or two lower. I don’t give a shit where they are picked. I was bitching because he hesitated and got a lower rated player.
  14. Is the lesson to not prioritize the opinions of millionaire ex-players who are not continuously active to help get and retain the most talented players?
  15. Nevermind. They traded the pick that became Hyatt along with their 5th rounder to take Cougar High WR. 🤦‍♂️
  16. Cal trying to lock up the UH frat boy contingent.
  17. CB Ringo or one of the Tenn WRs plz
  18. So LZ says we traded up into the second round to get a C with a third round grade (5 picks after the better C got snagged)?
  19. Caserio was still dumb. He traded up to #62 to grab the third or fourth best C when the Giants got potentially the best C at #57. Why wait to spend capital until after your targets get picked and then spend it to get a consolation prize? Watch them take some shitbox WR 3 picks after Jalin Hyatt gets drafted.
  20. Depends if they are similar style and come out of the same offense with same coaches. Not fair to compare a Sark-coaches Arch Manning to GD-coach VY. Might be more fair to compare Ohio St. guys all coming from the Urban/Ryan Day system and how they didn’t live up to expectations in the NFL.
  21. The Browns play the Bengals, Ravens, and Steelers twice, the 49ers, and Jets. Mid level opponents of Jax, Broncos, Cardinals. Only gimmes are probably Titans and Colts. The Texans and Browns picks might not be far apart. 2023 Cleveland Browns Opponents Home Ravens, Bengals, Steelers, Cardinals, Bears, Jaguars, Jets, 49ers, Titans Away Ravens, Bengals, Steelers, Broncos, Texans, Colts
  22. Here’s the Texans 2023 opponent list. They have 9 home games. The Titans (x2) and Colts (x2) will be shitty. The Falcons and Bucs will probably be bad. Cardinals could be bad. Who knows with Panthers, Broncos, and Saints? They usually split with Jax. It would be great to beat Cleveland for draft picks and f Deshaun. Ravens, Jets, Bengals look like losses on paper, but the NFL has a lot of WTF games. The 2024 Texans won’t be a playoff team, but they probably won’t be bottom 5 either. 2023 OPPONENTS AT NRG STADIM ARIZONA CARDINALS NEW ORLEANS SAINTS TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS DENVER BRONCOS CLEVELAND BROWNS PITTSBURGH STEELERS INDIANAPOLIS COLTS JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS TENNESSEE TITANS 2023 ROAD OPPONENTS ATLANTA FALCONS CAROLINA PANTHERS BALTIMORE RAVENS CINCINNATI BENGALS NEW YORK JETS INDIANAPOLIS COLTS JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS TENNESSEE TITANS
  23. Jalin Hyatt, Minnesota center, and Ringo (Georgia CB) were all fringe first round talent and are around the 20th “best available” if you buy into talking head rankings. Texans will have to trade up from #65 into the mid 2nd to get one of them, but they’d all fill needs with a potential Day 1 starter.
