Mick Taylor joined Mayall for this album right before he joined the Stones for a few years (which was the best Stones lineup IMO as Taylor is far better than Richards and brought a lot more versatility to the group). Fantastic. Spirit in the Sky totally ripped off the opening riffs.

Was that also true when Stevie took well below market value to re-sign with the Bills? There are lots of players who take less to play for certain teams.

Assuming we are also taking a swing at a "franchise" QB next draft, the smartest thing this franchise could do along side that in the draft is invest heavily in OLine help to support that QB. The last thing I want to see is a rookie top 5 pick QB getting destroyed because of a crap OLine. Most likely we will have more of a pocket type guy and our current line, even at its best, struggles with pocket protection right now. We should take at least one OLineman in the first or second round next year and hopefully a second in the third IMO. You will always have OLine injuries, we need to stock the stables to give our next QB the best chance possible to develop. Then go looking for real WR help for 2019 season.

Do you know logic and reason are frowned upon around here?

This is such a load of crap. I hear this on WGR all the time too. What I remember after EJs first year and the off season when Sammy was drafted, was a time where many of us were encouraged by what we saw in EJ year 1 and were excited for what he was going to do in year 2. It is EXACTLY what he should have done, get him a go-to WR to grow with their entire careers. Unfortunately EJ got replaced by Orton way too soon, lost all of his confidence and imploded, but lets not pretend like that happened before the Sammy pick. He only really had one bad game his rookie year against Tampa.

Folks acting like the deal was done before the game. A verbal agreement may have been reached, but the deal was not done (or Watkins wouldn't have played). Instead, he played and then the GM brought in the owner and HC to discuss the potential trade. In what world is this going rogue or not working as a team? The deal wasn't officially done until the next morning AFTER McD and Pegula had their input the night before. Way to try and make something out of absolutely nothing.

I love how many people here are just assuming we are going to draft a QB next year and he is going to be the answer even though history has shown that even QBs drafted in the top 5 have a less than 50% hit rate. It's just funny to me.

Put me in the camp of Arya actually setting up Littlefinger here.

Most research shows that the higher the speed limits the more dangerous the roads. Why is Germany different? Simple, they understand and strictly enforce the stay right except for passing rule. That is what makes high speed limits dangerous, the people who don't know how to drive and have no awareness of what is going on around them, staying in a lane when their speed warrants them to move over to the right. Nothing more dangerous than a car going 5 mph below the speed limit in the left lane.

Except we traded a game changing WR for a scrub.

1,085,272 played in 2015. Using that number as a guideline, 25,000 IS NOT just a blip. That is a 2.3% reduction in one year. Now, extrapolate that over 5 years or 10 years and you are seeing some very large numbers lost. Also, that is a decline when populations are increasing every year, so it is an even more alarming number in reality.

So who, exactly, was ignoring Mack? He was on everyone's radar, especially going into his senior year. Then he won multiple awards and was a top 5 pick.

Less than $20 or $30...now the stuff that grows from the ground, that's a different story.

Definitely walked off the field after my tear during some college intramural football. In fact, it didn't even hurt really...until the next day when it killed. Actually, I remember even jogging on the sideline a little bit trying to get back in...then it gave it out again and I knew I was done.

Never understood this mentality. Unless it is spinal or brain related, I could not care less if an opponent gets injured, in fact, I root for it. I'm supposed to feel sorry for a multi-millionaire who will continue to get paid and receive the best treatment in the world for an injury they will, in most cases, fully recover from in less than a year. Nah, I don't think so. Get them off the field, make the W's easier for us.

A former NFL player coaching in some capacity and wearing the shirt of the team the player is on at their camp? I'm shocked.

Yeah, sorry, I'm sure you did. Most people just think of them with George though, and they are pretty awesome without him too.

Love when people try to call out others (especially in the Liberals vs Conservative world) and they can't even choose the proper word.

That, and they are also re-usable. They are the Parliament Funkadelic, their own band really and quite good with or without George.

You are "s" out of luck there if you live in this area. Indians, Pirates, Blue Jays, Mets and Yankees are all considered local markets here and are blacked out. It's a bit ridiculous if you ask me.

Uh, you realize the Yankess have a baseball in their logo too, right? As well as the Giants, Mariners, Rangers, Blue Jays, Twins, Brewers, Rockies, and Dodgers. And that doesn't even count secondary logos. What a bizarre and completely untrue statement in that post.

I don't know. Maybe, just maybe, we don't make crazy assumptions based on 4 days worth of practice. My gosh. 2nd year player, 2nd round pick, played very well last camp, recovering from significant injury, and no MLB depth. He will be given a fair shot eventually, no doubt in my mind, and he will be better than Preston and take over sooner rather than later.

When you enter the stadium, the actual seating portion. Going down the hallway from the concourse into the stadium. Love that feeling.

I remember some proclaiming him to be a future #1 overall pick based on 3 games played. So funny. I said it then, and I've said it numerous times since then. Watching those games you could clearly see he had a ton of accuracy issues, and that has certainly panned out. Having a rocket arm is just not enough. I'll be shocked if he is still in the league in 2 or 3 years unless he has drastic improvements out of nowhere.

What are you talking about? The NBA does a lottery system, not even close to what I am suggesting. And the Sixers have been in tank mode for over 5 years. How is that good for competitive spirit? How is that good for their sponsers and tv deals? Most importantly, how is that possibly good for their fan base....because maybe, MAYBE after 8 years they can have a playoff team (and I'll believe that when I see it)? Yeah. To me, this another way to do it as well. Sports should always be about trying to win, every game, every time IMO. Encouraging losing by rewarding tanking, is just wrong IMO.
