They do a pizza review almost daily. About once or twice a week they'll have a guest join in. In the past month or so they've also had Saquon and Baker Mayfield do one. I guess they did give him free pizza, but to think that this was some special occasion they reserved just for him is very incorrect. They usually just invite famous and semi-famous people who happen to be in NYC at the time to do it.

The Josh Allen thread was moronic previously, and the Virginian appears to be digging in for additional blind, deaf worship here, too.

I can't imagine puking pages and pages of unyielding useless James Washington draft "news" on a UT board without being able to pause to acknowledge constructive criticism, but the Virginian is only talking to himself. I remember when this guy was a decent poster.

How do you know this is fact? Some type of inside info?

 

e 

There's the proof. These interviews are a dime a dozen. I hate that I know Barstool Sports, but that's something for me to improve on in life.

Inside info among me and the other 4 million followers of barstool sports on instagram, where they re-post Dave's pizza review videos a lot. Not sure if you're being serious.

Anybody heard of bitcoin 2gen?

it's a new-fangled awesome bitcoin keygen. It allows you to create a bitcoin in a matter of a second instead of having to have a gpu and do all that math. you should give it a shot, I'm sure it won't format your computer or anything. 

 

Baker Mayfield really is just a huge bag of dicks that video proved it

Absolute gold from the Ringer today. The entire article is pretty great, but I'll just post the Josh Allen part here.  https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2018/4/25/17277580/draft-qb-thoughts-baker-mayfield-lamar-jackson-josh-allen

Spoiler

I Have No Idea What the Josh Allen Hype Is About

I keep waiting for the joke to end—for NFL draft analysts to collectively say “Gotcha!” and for all of us to laugh about the time they really convinced everyone that Wyoming’s Josh Allen could be the no. 1 overall pick. But now we’re a day out from the draft, and a player who was not on any list of the top quarterbacks in college football is still considered by some to be the most sought-after prospect in the sport.

Don’t get me wrong: I have nothing against players from small schools. Quite the opposite, in fact: I love when amazing players lift up programs that are typically out of the spotlight. You think college fans like watching Alabama win every year? Hell no, man. What makes the sport great is its endless variety—130 FBS teams doing ridiculous things to succeed.

My issue with Allen isn’t that he hails from a Mountain West school; it’s that nothing about his college career ever hinted at his being spectacular. Look at the history of great quarterbacks from small schools and it’s clear that most were consistently brilliant on campus. Carson Wentz was an FCS god at North Dakota State; Ben Roethlisberger all but invented #MACtion at Miami (Ohio); Derek Carr exploded scoreboards at Fresno State; Jimmy Garoppolo and Joe Flacco were FCS stars. Meanwhile, Allen arguably held Wyoming back: Although the Cowboys defense was exceptional, leading the nation in turnovers and finishing ninth in points allowed, the team finished 126th in total offense and 97th in yards per passing attempt.

It is impossible to find a stat that makes Allen look good. SB Nation’s Jason Kirk wrote a full rundown recently, and the results are brutal. Allen’s 2017 completion percentage was 56.3; as Football Outsiders notes, the most successful quarterback since 2005 who was taken within a draft’s first 100 picks and posted a final-year college completion percentage below 58 is Jake Locker. In QBASE, an advanced stat, Allen scored below zero, giving him a ceiling of “Josh McCown or Brian Griese.” Bill Connelly’s success rate stat gives Allen a ceiling of Ryan Mallett. Wyoming’s passing S&P+ during Allen’s senior year was 119th of 130 FBS teams; that would be the lowest of any player ever drafted in the top 100 picks.

Allen throws passes off target more than any recent top QB prospect, with DeShone Kizer and Christian Hackenberg not far behind. The other top 2018 quarterback prospects all have passer ratings under pressure well above the FBS average; Allen’s is well below that mark. He is the worst quarterback in the draft on short throws, medium throws, and long throws. He throws more interceptable passes than any other prospect in this class. And it isn’t his receivers’ fault, either—they dropped fewer passes than the receivers of any other heralded 2018 draft QB.

After watching the tape, I don’t get it. Allen misses so many easy throws! He throws it to places where there are no targets whatsoever! The only player I’ve seen miss throws like this is Hackenberg—whose ugly college stats were also blamed on poor teammates—and well, I have plenty of receipts on that.

I don’t get it. I don’t get it! I understand that Allen is tall and strong. But why is being strong more valuable for a quarterback than being able to throw a football to a teammate? Are we really supposed to believe that being bad at throwing is fixable, but other quarterbacks’ arm strengths are locked firmly into place? I don’t get why teams are considering Allen as a Day 2 pick, let alone a first-round pick, let alone the first quarterback taken, let alone the first overall player on the board. Isn’t that a huge, ridiculous risk, especially when there are more proven options available?

Every year, I watch NFL draft folks ignore productive college players and hype prospects I never would have thought of as having pro potential. And most of the time, when I think everything through, I can see where they’re coming from. My favorite players are flawed; scouts can notice weaknesses that I’ve long overlooked. And as much as I want to sound like I’m above it all, NFL people are often right, and I’m often wrong. (I was huge into Johnny Manziel and [speaks in a small voice so people can’t hear] Geno Smith.)

But I’ll never understand NFL people less than when they talk about Josh Allen. I don’t even know where the idea of him going no. 1 came from, let alone why so people are choosing to vehemently stick with it

Hey! Shut up.

 

Blessed be the Allen to you.

Way too much negging for harmless stuff lately.  Here's a plus to The Virginian to counteract some of that stupidity.

 

Thanks.  BTW, Allen is starting the Bill's third preseason game:  https://billswire.usatoday.com/2018/08/20/josh-allen-start-buffalo-bills-2/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

Josh Allen is still a controversial topic on a lot of draft venues so I thought we'd bring him on over.  First up, Barstool Sports takes Josh out for New York pizza:

 

What is that bullshit. That looks like an actual NY Pizza chef took a dump and set it in the over for 50 minutes. 

Give me a thin, dollar slice dripping in grease. Toppings or no toppings - who gives a shit.
