  1. Preempted by the Cowboys network for the preseason game on my local Fox. LOL
  2. I don't know about traveling with guitars, and I haven't been on a plane with equipment in a couple of decades. But pro photographers with expensive equipment typically ship their gear to the chosen hotel or HQ to where they are destined ahead of time.
  3. Pre-draft hype can be really bad for young players, and it's often inaccurate, driven by media more than qualified scouting opinions. It's a shame it has to be that way, but that's the world we live in. Lance was always going to take a little time, but NFL ain't got time for that. Too huge an investment. They draft too much on physical tools thinking the rest will come easy, but it rarely does. It's a huge transition from even a top program, far more for a smaller program. The NFL doesn't develop high drafted qbs any more due to economics, and it ruins a lot of qbs that might have been good if they weren't thrown into the fire too soon. The Maholmes and Burrow types don't grow on trees, and are impossible to predict how soon a qb is going to grasp competent NFL IQ and instincts. You're almost better off being a mid round picked guy with some skill that has the luxury of less pressure, not being rushed, unless they surprise and exceed all early expectations.
  4. Bottom line, he's punchy AF and playing with scrubs that don't help his cause. Gonna be a project to build back up, but has tools to work with if he can get over the early punishment, which is a big IF.
  5. Bold and unpopular opinion here, but I really think Darnold may finally pan out and take that starting job at some point and perform pretty well. It's the first non-shitty situation he's been in. Purdy will either get jacked up again or will start to show his limitations once he's been around a bit. Darnold made it much easier to ditch Lance.
  6. I would guess extremely unlikely he would play. But you never know. Maybe they have him take a few snaps just to welcome him to the team.
  7. Margot Kidder and Michel's brother Randy. I had to cheat on the last one and look it up.

    RIP Bernie Marsden

    Sad. He was an essential part of a kickass rock band before Coverdale fired everybody and whored out and made it a made-for-MTV glam act.
  9. It has to be one of the shittiest stretches of all time for a team that is STILL in first place after leading by as little as 2 1/2 games.
  10. I like it for a 4th rounder. Developmental prospect behind Rush this year, and potential backup next year. Nothing much to lose, but a lottery ticket with potential to pay off if he can turn it around. He needed a new start, change of scenery and style and lack of pressure might do him good.
  11. Jerry should be working for the White House.
  12. The Grant Anderson era seems like it may be over. Losing Jung and half of Heim in the order has been a killer, along with the collapse of the bullpen.
  13. Rangers shit the bed so hard they broke Surly, too. Man, I was thinking in the 8th, I'm really nervous it's about to happen again. Fuck it, football season is here. Mariners stock is rising fast.
  14. Damn, it's like Watercolorgate, or some shit.
  15. Yes, let's get leody heated up, please.
  16. At least that sweet throw out at second saved a run from scoring.
  17. Stole this off of fecebook.
  18. Both Sox win, doing the Rangers a favor. It's a shame that's the best the Rangers can do these days.
  19. I don't know if this is gonna sell anything or win any Cleo awards, but the parachute guy cracks my ass up every time.
  20. Sam Williams may need someone else to free him now.
  21. Both fail. As impressive as Chapman is, even in his clean innings he seems to get hit deep at least once per inning, only sometimes it gets caught short of the fence. Smith is just an above average high leverage guy at this point.
  22. It seems like this game has been going on for about nine hours. I hope the last two hours or so are pleasant.
  23. Sgt. Pepper's was a real band pretending to be a fake band singing about themselves. Does that count?
  24. I'm still looking for a comfy no-armed outdoor chair for guitar playing.
