Even I can't relate to that level of craziness/jealousy, and I work with a bunch of women. What do you do for a living? Is it a work environment where people are just miserable in general?

This. Please help me understand the fascination with this guy. He's not good in coverage, and he's too small to play linebacker. I get how a versatile LB/S is valuable in McDermott's defense, but this guy doesn't appear to be a very good football player. Am I missing why he is worth being taken in the first round?

I thought NGU was Jim Kelly...

Stupidity. But she was pregnant. Sad. I had a lacrosse teammate in college who got hit and killed by a train in Syracuse, but I'm pretty sure it was suicide. Poor Ducky...what a way to go...

I'm thinking I'm done going to weddings for cousins I barely even know. Costs me at least a few hundred, not including a gift, even if it is being held in my home town and we can crash at my parents' house. From now on make up an excuse, RSVP no, and send to couple a check. I've been to 4 stupid weddings in the past 3 months.

Don't feed the trolls.

Sounds good. Love a good IPA with hints of citrus. Goose Island is pretty "mainstream" for you beer geeks, but I like it for it for that reason. I love reading the reviews on beeradvocate. Interesting question...is there now a beer equivalent to the wine sommelier? Must be a training program up and running by now at least. This is a cool idea, Pooj. I'd be in for a trade or two.

But what about the comp picks!? <ducks>

What the f&@%!!!!!?

My sister is 3 years younger than me. She invited me to her graduation weekend at Sienna. Well, she had this smokin hot roommate who I had hung out with on several occasions when my sister brought her home with her. Nothing ever happened between us, but we were always flirting with each other. Long story short...the night before graduation we all went out and got really, really messed up. I don't remember much of the evening, but my sister told me later that I was all over her friend at the bar and they found us fooling around in the parking lot. She was pissed. The next morning I woke up to my sister screaming at me at the top of her lungs. I was wrapped up, naked as a jay bird, in a blanket with her BFF on their kitchen floor. All her roommates came running to see what was happening. Let's just say my sister didn't speak to me for a few days, and my parents were not impressed. I was young and single and she was more than willing...what's a guy to do? What was really awkward was when the same girl was maid of honor in my sister's wedding (about 10 years later) and I was a groomsman...with my very pregnant wife sitting just a few yards away from us.

Go Catamounts!!

I'm hearing that he is definitely staying, but will get evaluated at the NBA combine. But I have been known to be wrong before....

2017 4 star PG Howard Washington is Orange!

Last spring I was in the huddle with my players giving them a "talk" after half-time. I was trying to lift morale, as we were taking a pretty sound beating, so I started cracking jokes about the opposing assistant coach's man-bun. I even did the cheer at the end...1 2 3 MAN BUN!! I thought it was pretty harmless and my players loved it. Well, I received a "citation" about a week later from the Vermont Principals Associaion stating that I had personally attacked this dude. He filed a formal complaint...haha. If you don't want to be made fun of for having a man bun, then don't get a man bun!

Are you juggalo? Woop woop!!!

I think Battle and Lydon will both do the NBA combine thing, although I don't think Battle is going anywhere. I think Thompson stays put also mainly because he is so terrible on defense. I'm up in the air on Lydon. I give a 50/50 chance of leaving. I think he would be a late first round pick, but I think he could do better after another season. Needs to work on his post game to play the 4 in the NBA. And yes...Wake making it in over Cuse was a crime. Again, beat them head to head, better conference record, and far more top 50 wins. What am I missing?

Chubby porn I don't know...I just like it. #make'mericagreatagain

Grateful Dead. I think it was '94. I want to say I was a freshman in high school...went with my older brother and his crew. What a long, strange trip it's been.

What? No love for the convincing win over UNCG?! I am actually going to be in CNY this weekend for my cousin's wedding. Might slide over to the dome on Saturday for Ole Miss. Edit: How bout AW3 breaking Gmac's single season 3 pointer record?? That's crazy to me.

Let's not get crazy...

What do folks think about the Viktor Antipin rumors?

Nooooooooooo! I've already started pre-gaming!!!

Looking like 24"+ here in the Champlain Valley of Vermont. I'm waiting until the snow stops tomorrow before I snowblow the driveway. My idiot neighbor has had his driveway plowed twice already! Good thing my beer store is only 2 blocks away. Going to make the trek out there shortly to pick up a nice porter or stout. Dark beer on a snowy day is perfect.

2017 ESPN 4 Star PG, Tremont Waters, has been released from Georgetown and has re-opened his recruitment. Syracuse is considered to be one of the favorites to land him. Duke is considered to be the other team in serious contention, however, if they land Trevon Duval (as expected) they will be out on Waters. With Howard Washington and Waters emerging as legitimate potential late signing period recruits, this really could brighten the once dim 2017 PG situation. Tremont Waters is a small PG at 5' 11" 180, but he is an electric passer with a very good shot who can create off the bounce. https://www.google.com/amp/amp.syracuse.com/v1/articles/20319209/report_syracuse_expected_to_pursue_former_georgetown_signee_tremont_waters.amp
