Without googling I'm going to say 15th overall to Seattle. Will edit if wrong. I was wrong, mark the day and time. 14th to the Rams in 2011. I was thinking of Bruce Irvin, 15th to Seattle a year later.

Been counting since you posted this yesterday. 11,312. Plus whatever has come in since 12:58 PM yesterday. Maybe I should have deleted as I counted, most of them are useless. Oh well, like the saying goes, hindsight is always 20-20.

Darn, I would have gone shopping tomorrow instead of today if I had known. Do have some running around to do in the morning but I'll just put it off until 2.

Did you watch season 3 of Twin Peaks? Uses real time and picks up 25 (26?) years after season 2. Reviews were excellent, some publications named it the best TV show of 2017. Much as I loved seasons 1 & 2, I stopped watching season 3 half way through the second episode. Guess my mind just isn't in the same place as it was in my 30's. Who would have guessed?

Breaking Bad was the show that crossed my mind when I saw the topic. A few months ago I started a topic about best / worst endings to shows with more than one season. Breaking Bad was my choice for best ending. Absolutely loved it. Ending that final episode by playing my favorite Badfinger song in its entirety was icing on the cake. That being said, almost as many chose it as the worst ending as the best. Also liked that every time it started to put some humor the meth lifestyle, it showed the horrors. Dexter was my choice for weakest ending for what it's worth. Currently, Blindspot is getting very weak in what I assume will be its final season. Still enjoy Blacklist, though the ending will likely be a letdown as well.

Skyway gives me heebie jeebies even in good weather

Yeah but we didn't get hit too bad with power outages. Which means neither me nor my folks lost power. If either of us had been hit and we were the only ones, I would have said massive power outages.

Signed to practice squad Oct. 2016, suspended Nov. 2016, signed reserve/future contract in Jan 2017, released two months later. Not sure what reserve/future means. Doesn't sound like he was ever active though.

Didn't read through all six pages but Robert Edwards, Patriots pro bowl running back during his rookie year of 1998. Scored rushing TD's in each of his first six games as a rookie, Los tied that record in 2015. Blew out his knee during the rookie flag football game at the pro bowl. Almost had to have it amputated. Was out of football until 2002 when he made a brief comeback with the Dolphins, also had a couple decent seasons in Canada. If memory serves (it almost always does,) the Patriots lobbied hard to get first round pick compensation since he was injured in an NFL sanctioned activity, but were denied.

As I said a few posts above, bad for Duke but especially for college BB if he doesn't. Guess you can add Nike to the list of things it will be bad for. But I wouldn't blame him, like you say, too much at risk. Way too much. As for college BB itself, his not returning might usher in a new era. Maybe a certain # of scholarships that come with an insurance policy. Maybe an end to one and done in favor of a developmental league which college BB is for the one and doners.

I'm still too devastated to mention it ?

Physical therapists use ultrasound therapy on a regular basis and are more likely to have experienced insight than a Dr. Which is why I mentioned it in the title. And left enough background information in the OP to hopefully solicit an educated response. Don't have one of those Cadillac insurance policies that allows me to go to a professional every time I have a question. I can surf the world wide web with the best of them, but I'm told you can't believe everything you read on it. This community has provided advice on thousands of topics not related to football. Is it beyond the scope of comprehension that a football community would have a physical therapist that contributes regularly and wouldn't mind sharing some information? Perhaps.

So yeah, he might just opt not to play for the rest of the season even if the injury is minor, which would suck for both college BB and Duke.

Achilles are tender but as row_33 says in the post above, if either were torn, pretty sure there wouldn't be any question. How are your knee, rotators, and Achilles? Sounds like I'm in a situation that's similar to what yours' used to be Hoping in another 2 years give or take I'll be able to go back to life as I knew and loved it. Would be nice to hear a success story.

Recently purchased a home ultrasound unit which is currently in transit. Played softball until 59, volleyball until 50, not to mention 10 years of wrestling and 6 of soccer in Jr/high school/college. Until 2 months ago also worked out at least 5x a week, 1 hr intense cardio with some light lifting mixed in. Always kind of figured my body would fall apart, all of a sudden, all at once. It isn't disappointing. Tore a meniscus over the summer, cortisone didn't help, too much arthritis for arthroscopic, need a full knee replacement (probably two eventually.) Opted for shoulder surgery this winter hoping to put the knees off until after golf season. Problem is my ankles are very sore, at this point I don't think they can support enough weight for the PT needed after knee replacement. All this activity over the years led to a bunch of sprains and muscle pulls (not to mention minor concussions.) Ultrasound always seemed to help a lot with strains and pulls, hoping it will help with my current ankle and knee issue and I'll be able to put off any further surgeries until after golf season. Wondering if there is a point at which ultrasound loses its effectiveness? Is 2x a day too much? Also does the lotion used make a difference? Any input appreciated.

Shouldn't this be on the controversial opinions thread?

I may be wrong, but I believe the point is that those that insist on dealing with climate change seek only to deal with the symptoms, not the cause

Damn I went through 4 pages and looks like I finally found someone that beat me to the Rob Johnson punch. So, I'll add Scott Mitchell, who started 7 games in replacement of Marino in 93 and parlayed that into a nice free agent contract.

I think your mothers go to football games together.

None. That was my point. Even the kids that couldn't walk and chew gum at the same time without saying "step, chew, step, chew" played when I was a kid. The girls often played as well. Which is why it kills me to see the ball fields empty, knowing that the kids are inside surfing the world wide web or playing video games.

One of the kids in my neighborhood had a sign on his back saying to send him home at 5. It kills me when I'm driving around in the summer to see all the empty ball fields. Never would have happened in the 60's. Always found a way to improvise...ghost runners, call your field, all-time position player, home run ball.

Pass.

Hey man, I'm 62. Eyesight isn't was it used to be, neither is the bar.

She just doesn't get it, actually thinks NYC was going to write Amazon a check for 3 billion. Doesn't understand that the 3B was in tax incentives. It was bad enough that she said that those that challenged her math were "...missing the forest for the trees..." in the softball Anderson Cooper interview. On Amazon - "...The city was paying for those jobs...We could invest those 3 billion dollars in our district ourselves if we wanted to. ..We could put a lot of people to work for that money..." She is scaring even the most liberal of my friends. Granted, she's a solid 9 in the looks department. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvOVXwtizOU

Wolford was first year of true free agency, not plan B. But you mentioning him is making Ralph roll over in his grave, as he still thinks either the Bills should have received compensation, or the deal should have been nullified. If memory serves (and it almost always does) part of his contract guaranteed that he would be paid more than any defensive player as well as be at least the second highest paid player on offense (or maybe second highest non-quarterback.) The Bills had a star studded defense that included Bruce and Biscuit. While they were able to meet match the dollar value of the contract and would have been able to use the right of first refusal under the transition tag, they could not (or at least did not want to) match contracts of players covered by the escalator clause, which included Smith, Bennett, Thomas, and Reed. Anyways, once the deal was approved, the NFL being a copy cat league and all, other GM's tried using similar escalator clauses in contracts. These types of escalator clauses were quickly banned, but Wolford's was allowed.
