  1. I get that. I’m saying our offer was attractive enough without going to the 3rd year guaranteed. I personally value the flexibility over guaranteeing that extra year. I’m saying I would’ve walked away over it being guaranteed.
  2. Slightly disagree. The AAV isn’t egregiously bad, but the 3rd year at his age takes it into a bad deal for me. Think he’ll be relatively neutral this season, but I’m generally more risk averse when it comes to 3 years for older players. At that price I would’ve liked to see some kind of mutual option for year 3. We were coming off a WS win and didn’t need to overpay (meaning the guaranteed 3rd year) to be an attractive destination.
  3. I fully expect him to be our starting punter from Day 1….and still redshirt. This is Surly after all; we’re nothing if not reasonable with our expectations.

  11. While I agree with you, I have to say….of course, he does. He’s fucking here.
  12. I know. I threw the one particular player comment in there in an attempt to differentiate from what you were saying. Much like my attempts at improving my short game and my diet, I came up short.
  13. Indeed, he did. When referencing a player to prove a point, you have to pick a player that people actually remember. It’s the same reason recruits are constantly compared to great players coming out of high school when giving comps. Just because Cassel lasted 14 years in the league, it doesn’t change his shitty college career.
  14. Never underestimate the ego of an NFL personnel guy. Plenty of shitty college players have been drafted. For instance, Matt Cassel was drafted. That said, it isn’t a good idea to bet on it happening with any one particular player.
  15. In the things I Thought I’d Never Type category, his aggy wife could’ve done better.
  16. Have a friend whose dad was near the end of a long cancer battle over a decade ago. He was a great guy and fairly prominent businessman in Houston, so several people he’d worked with over the years sent flowers and plants etc to his hospital room - looked like fucking Moody Gardens. Anyway, he asked the hospital staff to get all of them out of his room - wanted them to give them to other patients in the hospital to brighten up their day. When they came to take them away, he said, “Give them away, all of them….except that one (pointing to a fucking ficus tree that Tilman sent him). I want y’all to burn that motherfucker.” I still laugh thinking about it.
  17. Hook’em, Kobe!
  18. Only way to do that here is to log out.
