  1. An age-old rule of the internet, from Usenet, to AIM, to facebook, to anything you use today - ignore shit you don't like. Engagement feeds assholes, narcists, trolls, and crazy people. Ignoring them (beyond acknowledging their existence and moving on) starves them of engagement. Either they move on to easier sources of engagement or they'll change their behavior. It's a like child who thinks there's no real difference between punishment or praise because they're both kinds of attention and that's what the child really wants. Denying them the attention they crave is the only way to get them to change and seek positive engagement. The only alternative is banning someone from a forum, which I generally disagree with on principle except for egregious situation. You can't control other people's behavior, but you can control how you react to them. Put them on ignore until they learn to behave in acceptable manner.
  2. Zierlein is pretty awful at mocks. Dude is just throwing darts. It's all conjecture until FA anyway.
  3. I wish people on this board could learn to control their temper better.
  4. Why was that section empty / what was up with the lack of burnt orange? Was everyone off having wine and cheese?
  5. Everyone was knocking Banks and putting him behind Campbell because he supposedly had t-rex arms. Campbell tested better than banks in the athletic events (40 yd, broad jump, etc) but now he's the guy with short arms. Banks still tested well athletically and Banks still has much better film. If the problem with Banks has height/length, then he's addressed those concerns. What I think will happen is that Campbell's 40 time will suddenly become the most important metric and the reason he's over Banks on the mocks. Which will confirm for me that the problem is that they just don't like Banks for whatever reason. Maybe it's just the cool thing to find a dark horse and put him over the favorite? Because Banks has had LT1 written all over him since 2022.
  6. I completely missed this news. Seems like a shame, dude was overperforming for Wake. Even with all the wakeyleaks bullshit.
  7. Full article:
  8. 2025 NFL combine: Top draft prospects, best workouts, risers DAY 3: QUARTERBACKS, RUNNING BACKS, WIDE RECEIVERS Notables who did not work out: Cam Ward, Shedeur Sanders, Ashton Jeanty, Tetairoa McMillan, Emeka Egbuka What are the biggest takeaways from Saturday's workouts? Miller: The biggest talking point entering the combine was the search for the QB3 in this class behind Ward and Sanders. The hope was that someone would emerge, and we could plant a flag on their stock. It didn't happen. Jaxson Dart (Ole Miss) and Quinn Ewers (Texas) were as expected, having solid throwing sessions. Tyler Shough (Louisville) had a good all-around day but didn't do anything to emerge as a clear-cut option. Other contenders such as Jalen Milroe (Alabama) and Will Howard (Ohio State) were uneven in the throwing session, with Milroe in particular struggling with consistent ball placement. How did other top prospects look on Day 3? Matthew Golden, WR, Texas Golden only participated in the 40-yard dash but made it count, running it one time in 4.29 seconds before ending his day. Several scouts texted me after his run surprised by his time, as he was expected to be in the 4.4 range. It was another step in a steady rise for the 5-foot-11, 191-pounder, who quickly turned into the Longhorns' top receiver after transferring from Houston. There are evaluators that have him as the top pure receiver in the 2025 class, ahead of Burden and Tetairoa McMillan (Arizona). Golden is a well-rounded receiver with strong hands and a wide catch radius who can play from the outside or in the slot. Don't be surprised if he's a top-20 pick. -- Reid DAY 2: DEFENSIVE BACKS, TIGHT ENDS Notables who did not work out: Travis Hunter, Will Johnson, Tyler Warren, Colston Loveland, Elijah Arroyo What are the biggest takeaways from Friday's workouts? Miller: The top cornerbacks in the class -- Hunter and Johnson -- chose to not work out at the combine, but the group of players earmarked as slot corners put on a show. Maxwell Hairston (Kentucky) ran the fastest 40 of the combine at 4.28 seconds before showing excellent hip flexibility and explosion during position drills. The same can be said for fellow slot candidates Jahdae Barron (Texas), Jacob Parrish (Kansas State) and Quincy Riley (Louisville), who each were strong during on-field work and testing. This isn't a strong cornerback class at the top of Round 1, but this slot corner group could thrive early in their NFL careers. Reid: While defensive line and running back have been praised as the strength of the 2025 class (and rightfully so), the talent in the safety group is underrated. Malaki Starks (Georgia) and Nick Emmanwori (South Carolina) are the headliners, but there's a lot of depth on Day 2 and Day 3. That depth really shined Friday. Players such as Andrew Mukuba (Texas), Billy Bowman Jr. (Oklahoma) and Jonas Sanker (Virginia) could easily be selected inside the first four rounds. There aren't a lot of surefire safeties at the top of the draft, but I believe that there are future starters who can be found outside of Round 2. How did other top prospects look on Day 2? Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas The No. 10 player in my rankings, Barron absolutely wowed with his 4.39-second 40-yard dash. He doesn't have elite length, with 29⅝-inch arms, but Barron has NFL size for an outside cornerback at 5-foot-11 and 194 pounds. He opted to not participate in positional drills after the 40. Barron is higher on my board than what I'm hearing from NFL teams but displaying that level of speed shows he can hang with top-tier NFL receivers. He should be a top-20 pick. -- Miller DAY 1: DEFENSIVE LINEMEN, LINEBACKERS Notables who did not work out: Abdul Carter, Mason Graham, Jalon Walker, Mykel Williams, Mike Green, Walter Nolen, Kenneth Grant Who are the biggest risers from Day 1? Alfred Collins, DT, Texas Collins has a well-put-together frame, measuring 6-foot-5, 332 pounds. He also has the matching physicality, which he showed during a breakout senior season. Scouts wanted to see how well he could move and if he could execute change-of-direction skills as a pass rusher. Collins answered those questions and more, moving quickly through drills and showing plenty of lower-body mobility. He is an NFL-ready run defender who is stout at the point of attack, and his wide frame makes it difficult for offenses to displace him out of gaps. Collins will primarily serve as an early-down defender but can also play sparingly on late downs. His ability to play immediately as a rookie makes Round 2 Collins' sweet spot. -- Reid
  9. I missed TMac today but from what I read he didn’t impress. But I’m also pretty biased in favor of Golden so it is what it is.
  10. WR2 at worst
  11. Stop quoting the fucking guy. Just put him on ignore. It’s pathetic.
  12. Bond’s official 40 time is 4.39 which is great but dude needs to learn to say less
  13. Gabrielle has looked like absolute booty
  14. Golden’s official is 4.29
  15. Some guy on Reddit is maintaining a helpful spreadsheet of combine results: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12dvkqj-NcjCYgoUs1CdCIj9OH4pEJyHZTe163_iEqds/edit
  16. Go fuck yourself. "No one is making you enter this thread," I'm genuinely interested in news about what's happening about with the guy and I've got to read your stupid fucking bullshit every time I open this thread. I want to be clear - this isn't a commentary on Ewers or his qualities as a player. I think that you, personally, suck as a presence on this board. You have lost the plot and it is a fucking beating to open a thread and see you shit all over it. Please, please, please take this to heart - you are awful and I wish you would take your shit and leave. It seems like people on this board have some weird affection for you so maybe at some point you contributed something of value, but that time has clearly passed. You suck. Just know that Ewers is going to be rich and love by people around him forever, and you are going to be stuck being some sweaty weirdo that no one likes in real life. Seriously. Fuck you.
  17. SweatyCucumbers gets it. Daddy98 definitely gets it. Duke_Silver definitely does not get it.
  18. I've been avoiding this thread because it's turned into such a shitshow, but it's becoming weirdly enjoyable. Like a poo flinging fight at the monkey house. I appreciate that y'all keeping riling up the antisocial drunks. Genuinely comical at this point.
