    I'm not all that thrilled about Cooks, but i guess it's an OK price for a capable possession receiver that occasionally shows a little pop. I don't hate it, but he doesn't move the needle that much, vastly overrated mediocre-plus sort of guy that gets pumped on lot of junk stats with bad teams in bad games, much like Jarvis Landry. There's a reason he's played for so many teams. I'm not sure how much dead money would hit the Cowboys if they ditched him after this season, so that's the big question for me as to value. I'll say it's probably a real good move if it keeps Jerry from wasting money on Beckham at any price. I still hope the Cowboys are going to draft a receiver in round 1 or 2 and find a real bookend.

    If sports fans were intellectuals there wouldn't be stupidass bobbleheads.

    They certainly aren't smarter today than they were decades ago. Now they mostly regurgitate opinions from ESPN hosts and fucktard bloggers. The games aren't getting progressively dumbed down because their fans are so smart. The leagues want to appeal to more dumbshits to make more money.

    He has the game face down perfect.

    I was listening to my random tunes drive in the car a little while and hit Richie's solo in Pictures Of Home. That's one of my favorite all time solos and solo sounds in rock history. It's not even close to one of his flashiest, but damn it just sounds so perfect, with the classic Richie vibrato in the key money shot spot.

    Also boy genius Kellen Moore's last at drawing up stupidass plays for the Cowboys.

    I thought the Spin Doctors were cool. Even the third studio album that sold about 15 copies worldwide. It had some great stuff on it. Tasty guitar, interesting songs. Radio just played the same ones that burned out pretty quick. They had some interesting stuff. Bring on the rotting fruit and vegetable toss. I don't care.

    He is a total fuckup of a human being, except for stealing old blues stylings. Good singer, though. The documentaries I've seen about him are totally depressing. His albums were mostly bad with a couple of good or great songs at times. His personality was worse.

    They should re-do the movie "It Might Get Loud" with three great guitar players instead of one. U2 was always hit and miss for me, some good early sounds, I always thought Bono had a strong and unique voice. His persona, I didn't care for so much. Edge was good at making their sound, but he wasn't a guitar player as much as a pedal player. But he didn't seem like a total douchebag. Most of their stuff after the first three or four albums was pretty lame.

    I got sucked into the animal movie theme the other night. The Black Stallion, then Lassie Come Home. Then I flipped over to FXMovies and the recent Call Of the Wild with Harrison Ford was on. Probably the newest movie I've seen in a good while.

    Nuno is a badass. The song is just a'ight, not very original, pretty outdated, unless you really were a huge fan of that particular style. I'm certainly guilty of that kind of thing in other areas of music. Extreme is a really talented band of musicians, much respect, but never were really the best craftsmen of songs that stand the test of time or endless repeated listens. Rest In Peace is the only one of their songs I get a hankering to hear once in a while. I was tired of the new one well before the awesome solo took place (and really only the second half of it was all that). I guess that's why we're only really hearing about the solo.

    American Bang was a great one-off album, one of my favorite of the millennium. No question they sold out for the low common denominator country-fried cheeseball "I'm from the south" related song with TC3, and did well with it. But they are a damn good live band. Really a shame the industry couldn't support the original version on to some more great albums.

    I've seen the record pickguard thing done before, Jaren Johnson of The Cadillac Three. He also had a Joe Strummer tele.

    No doubt he'll head to Miami to be Mike White's number one target.

    Giants sure love their brittle stars that spend most of their years on IR.

    I don't care if the Jets end up being decent next year, they are still one of the stupidest fucking franchises in sports history. They're just assuring another decade of mediocrity, but mostly shitty, with maybe a playoff year here and there. Yes, worse than Dallas.

    This was Byron Jones in 2015. Combine warrior. Dallas fell in love and drafted him 1st round. Absolutely nowhere near a 1st round talent. He made no plays at all. But for some reason with PFFs own grading metrics that are many times stupid, they rated him very high every year as his career went on. All i remember him is trailing good WRs because they beat him. I think Diggs had more picks his rookie year than he had his own career. A lot of Cowboys fans were upset they let him go without much of a fight. It was one of the many correct decisions they have made in recent years. They still find ways to screw things up, but they have learned somewhat from past mistakes in free agency. It's why they are more consistently above .500 as opposed to having total crap losing seasons. They just haven't had a coaching staff that can take it where it could go.

    Oscar store burgers, fries, CFS are great. But their water is terrible if you need a drink with ice.

    He might be a top 10 pick. It only takes one Raider type franchise that loves how he looks in his underwear and how far he can throw a football to take him high. But he looks like a 10/90 Pro Bowl to Total Bust odds talent. I would be nervous about Stroud, too, mostly based on what we have seen from Ohio State qbs. It doesn't seem like a great year to need a franchise qb with a top 10 pick.

    They're pretty close to the same guy in my book. Carr was massively overrated after he had a couple of good stat years, but never has been much above average. He has a more arm talent than Jimmy G, but Jimmy is a better game manager, less mistake prone. Both of them are guys you can start while drafting/developing the qb of the future at this point.

    Yep, it looks like they haven't changed their schedule grid for DST. Grid is all borked. Robert Osbourne never would have let this happen.

    I suggest hiring someone else taste your food before you eat.

    Dang, Air Force always seems to get a crappy time slot. they shouldn't show From Here To Eternity on feature days. They show it often enough, one of the most played films in their library. They should put something in like Sahara, Bogey's tank movie that hardly ever shows.

    Your injured red-tailed hawk will probably be OK unless it is attacked by a mockingbird, the most fierce predator in the bird kingdom.

    This is the only music station I know of that isn't a piece if shit, right here, with the stuff that I put on it and listen to in the car. That, and the little mini player I listen to when I'm doing stuff outside.
