  1. Duke for Zay all day long.
  2. I don't know man. I feel like if we watched all the balls thrown his way over his career there would be more balls that hit his hands and he didn't catch than ones that he did. (counting certain tough ones, of course, but a lot of easy ones too that a pro WR should make consistently) Maybe that's a gross exaggeration, but it just doesn't feel like it to me.
  3. Lee Smith sucked the first time we had him and he still sucks today. 4 out of 6 penalties at one point on him. Get him off the field. Zay Jones is terrible as well. Complete lack of effort. Never makes plays. There is no way you can tell me he is a better WR than Duke. None. Get him off the team.
  4. Get a cheap first one. When your fingers are killing you and you are aren't seeing much progress it will be an easier pill to swallow if you give up. I've tried learning at least 5 times. Can't stick with it though and can't get more than 4 or 5 chords down each time. Good luck though!
  5. Uh, no. There has not been a single time in the last 2 years that I have thought to myself, "man, I miss Zach Brown or Nigel Bradham."
  6. He looked pretty legit during pre-season time as well.
  7. But show me the baby! I want that sack!
  8. Who is this guy you ask? He is everything that is wrong with the current state of social media and pop culture music. A talent-less, auto-tune using, fake gangster who overstepped his bounds and got in trouble with the real ones. Now he's crying like the little B that he is so save his own butt.
  9. Ha! Yeah, I knew that little tid bit, but have yet to see it happen thankfully. I'm actually amazed it doesn't happen often. And on a side note, I think I'm gonna start rooting for Takakeisho. I love his I don't give a F attitude he seems to have. He just looks so nonchalant every match. Hardly throws any salt in. Just like, whatever, lets do this. Plus he may be the next Yokozuna from what I'm seeing as he just got back to Ozeki at only 23.
  10. I can't find a rhyme or reason as to who sets first. It seems to be mostly based on rank I think with the higher ranked wrestler doing as they prefer (mostly going 2nd). But I think there are some that prefer going first and they do it by choice when they are higher ranked. Takakeisho is an example of this. He did it first every time. But I do know that the match officially starts when both fists of both wrestlers make contact with the ground. Some Gyoji are more strict than others on this so sometimes there is just ghost contact with the 4th hand. When it's stopped it's because one didn't touch the mat with both fists (or wasn't close enough to say good enough according to the Gyoji).
  11. Highly recommend finishing the rest of the basho. It was an excellent finish to the tournament!
  12. No one gets beat up over 1 or 2 bad plays a game more than Edmunds. It's pretty funny to me. As I say when people talk about Allen being inaccurate on a couple throws a game. Every QB misses open passes and every MLB gets blocked out of play, over pursues a PA, and loses a RB / TE in coverage during a game. Every. Single. One.
  13. I'm a Sugar Magnolia guy. One of my all-time favorites. She come skimming through rays of violet She can wade in a drop of dew She don't come and I don't follow Waits backstage while I sing to you
  14. Yeah, that is an underrated injury IMO.
  15. IF we can pull it out Sunday it would do nothing for me but solidify my thoughts of us as a playoff team. The season is long, it's the NFL. Any team (well, almost any team) can beat any other team any one single game. It's what you do over the course of the season that matters. This team is far too young for me to think of us as better than the Pats or Chiefs quite yet regardless of what we do on Sunday. Sure makes me feel good about the long-term prospects of this team though. Now, if we win this and we win again in NE later in the season leading to a division title, that's when I'm getting really excited for THIS season.
  16. Funny. Someone calls you out for a logic fallacy which is perpetuated over and over and over on this board and instead of defending your position with examples, you say I'm a dog without a bone or that I'm somehow offended. Nope, I just like facts and reason. And my alma mater has exactly 1 player in the NFL now. Definitely has nothing to do with it. Peace.
  17. Let me ask you this. How many schools in the last 40 years have a great track record of NFL QB success? How many have more than 1 QB with NFL success? I can count Standford (Elway, Luck), Cal (Rodgers, Goff), Oklahoma (Jury still out obviously, but maybe Baker and Murray)....and that's all I've got off the top of my head. Every other "franchise" QB is the only one from that school in the last 40 years. So there is either 3 schools that develop QBs or your standard for the school is 1 guy. 1. No school has that success rate until they do.
  18. Yeah, until Tua comes out next year.
  19. Such a tired point to make. Question. Has Wyoming? Has Duke? Had Clemson before Watson? Don't get me wrong, Jameis is a terrible face of the franchise, but it has nothing to do with where he went to school.
  20. Disagree completely. Sure it got a bit quiet in the 3rd, but the first/second was rocking. You just didn't notice it that much because the defense was playing so well they weren't on the field that much in the 1st half for it to get loud a lot. But when they were, it was loud. And the 4th quarter was some of the loudest I've ever heard there.
  21. Never in the history of the NFL has a week 3 game been a must win game. Never.
  22. A lot of that was just the Post WWII propaganda talk that just filtered down a generation.
  23. Pretty quick. I watched the one from today 9/20 at like 730 am EST. No idea when it actually ended in Japan, but I'm guessing its up in a matter of hours. There have been some very successful Hawaiian Sumo wrestlers, even a Yokozuna or two. But I know what you are saying, the business side of it.
  24. All very true. But he is also going against the top guys in the world too who happen to outweigh him by 100-200 lbs, not just some fat slob with no skill. That's why it is so amazing to me. Both Yokozuna's left this one early with injuries so its wide open with 2 days left. I think something like 6 or 7 of them (actually it's 9! just checked) are within 1 loss of the top spot. Should be an exciting final two days. I like the channel I linked because you can watch all the matches in 25 mins. I even kinda like it better that it is in Japanese and I have no idea what they are saying!
  25. Anyone watch Sumo? I just started a few months ago. It's mesmerizing. There is this young dude Enho coming up. He's only 216 lbs fighting in the top division against mostly 300+ pound and even some 400+ pound dudes who can really move. Imagine the normal wrestling, boxing, MMA world not having any weight classes. I root for Tochinoshin though, he just looks mean. Here is an Enho match from a few days ago. Crazy to me. Starts around 7:20 if my link didn't do it right. It will be obvious which one he is!
