  1. https://www.thenewsstar.com/story/sports/nfl/saints/2019/08/04/winners-and-losers-first-first-week-saints-training-camp/1917254001/ Loser: Lil’Jordan Humphrey, wide receiver Humphrey hasn’t made much noise in a crowded room of wide receivers. It’s unfortunate, because he has one of the clearest projections of any of the new additions as a specialist who can line up in the slot and make tough catches in traffic, much like Marques Colston once made a living doing. It’s frustrating to see because other young wideouts like Emmanuel Butler and Cyril Grayson have shown up right away. The silver lining here is that Humphrey isn’t really doing anything wrong. He’s not dropping passes, and he’s not running the wrong routes. He’s simply not making “wow” plays and doing anything memorable. He kind of looks like just another training camp body. There’s still plenty of time for him to start making a difference, though. We’re only a week into practices and Humphrey should get plenty of looks in the preseason games. All he needs is to start stringing together good performances and showing off skills that nobody else has, which he did last year for the Texas Longhorns. It feels like he could flip a switch at any time and show the Saints plenty to like.
  2. "Saigon...shit"
  3. Mother of god...
  4. And I'd be curious to know when the State Department is going to issue a travel advisory.
  5. Nevermind
  6. TOS needs to be terminated with extreme prejudice.
  7. "Do you like your gig?" story is always great.
  8. Johnny had some contractual obligations he had to fulfill when he joined the CFL, among them drug testing. Was being tested for recreational drugs and Lithium IIRC. Was supposed to be drug tested in the off season too. Team officials couldn't get ahold of him at some point and he was incommunicado I believe. I think Montreal tried to work with him but Johnny didn't want to play by their rules anymore. Of course aggy says Johnny voided the contract intentionally so he could play in 'Merica.
  9. Basically, you are cognizant enough (in a dreamlike state) to know you're sleeping, but powerless to move. You want to wake yourself up in the worst way, but can't. You are in a highly agitated state. I first noticed years ago taking a Sunday nap in front of the TV. I could hear the golf tournament; I knew where I was, and I knew that I was asleep. I would envision/dream of trying to rock myself off the couch so that I would fall off and wake myself up. But I was paralyzed... Weird, huh?
  10. Hiked that same trail years ago with friend over thanksgiving weekend. It's a well marked trail. Most technical part is having to foard the Cossatot River a the start of the hike (wasn't above knees when we went). He's a knucklehead too.
  11. They say one is more prone to sleep paralysis while sleeping on your back. That seems to be true for me.
  12. Nicole is a handful.
  13. similar to when Bill O'Reilly had "body language experts" when Obama was prez
  14. RIP Gerry Frayley
  15. After no soap and hot water for 17 days, I'm sure she found it.
  16. It is weird. Saying "I'll just leave my phone and water bottle, I'm only going for a short jog." and then "Hey, I think I'll go off trail into the dense, steep jungl!" doesn't seem like a normal progression of thought.
  17. If the UIL is like another other sports governing body, I wouldn't count on them to a bastion of morality.
  18. Started vaping CBD juice bout 6 weeks ago, Hawaiian POG flavored. I enjoy it.
  19. Fried quail, biscuits n gravy
  20. got one of those at a Stuckey's in the 70's
  21. came here just for this
