Not worked up, and I get that it's a fun exercise for some... To me it's just the time and energy one would have to invest in paying attention to college football to know anything at all about these guys coming out. And then look at all 32 NFL teams and their needs. And then try to predict success at the pro level. And then slot dozens if not hundreds of those college players? For what? Bragging rights on those few you may hit on? Again, I get that people love doing it. I just can't wrap my head around why.

Mock drafts really seem like a monumental waste of time. Even so called "experts" are rarely correct. It's one of the most mystifying things in sports, why so many care so deeply about them and try to predict the mental processes of 32 different groups of professional talent evaluators who rarely have any interest in telegraphing their actual thoughts.

Many times I've dealt with the surge, especially during all the woes the D.C. Metro subway system was experiencing last year. A couple of times while I was in town fires in the metro tunnels led to 2x, 3x, I even saw 5x surge pricing. But you know what? It's communicated to you clearly ahead of time. You know exactly what you're going pay when you request a car. So on those rare occasions when demand outpaces supply, you pay more. That's how a free market is supposed to work. And like nobody ever got sexually harassed in a cab. At least with ridesharing, I know who the driver is, they know who I am, both our phones indicate where we are via GPS, and again, no cash changes hands. Ridesharing rules.

I use ridesharing all the time in DC and Philly when there for work. It rules. Time for WNY to join the 21st century. Cabs are horses and buggies, only smellier and way less reliable. Arrived by train in DC a few months back, my phone died so I couldn't call an Uber. So I went to the taxi stand at Union Station. Naturally, the cab driver's credit card machine was "broken" so he could only take cash, which meant a stop at an ATM on the way to my hotel. Cash never changes hands, one of the best things about ridesharing.

Yeah, I'm going to reserve final judgement until the season begins. But I have no reason to believe things will improve by then. I fear TSW may have jumped the shark with the recent influx. I've never met him, but by all accounts SDS seems like a solid dude. I hope he finds a way to monetize all the extra traffic, make it an advantage somehow.

Everyone has their place in life. Mine is in the back of the room shooting spitballs.

Can't wait for today's 12 copycat hot taek bbmb style threads with titles like "Why does saen mcd hate jebus?" "Pugela FAIL playerz no longer engaeged" "if ewe dont think we need a new champlain UR an ****head"

I think you mean you're "a idiot."

Looks like the new image consultant is earning his keep.

This is like the movie Inception, but with Mahomes threads and poor grammar!

Yo dawg, I heard you like Mahomes threads, so we put a Mahomes thread in your Mahomes thread so you can Mahomes thread while you Mahomes thread.

Well, there's your problem.

Mahomes threads are precious and unique snowflakes, just like their originators.

Exactly. I've been hanging here the better part of a decade, and people have always been called out for sloppy/redundant/uninformed posting. There's just been a lot MORE of it since BBMB shut down. Longtime TSWers are just doing what they've always done, the BBMBers need to stop being so sensitive.

Who will be the first to hurl INsults IN this thread makINg asININe comparisons between those who prefer a well-run forum and German National Socialists of the 1930s?

Let's kick the can with a paper tiger in a house of cards waiting for the other shoe to drop.

A young, rookie, mostly unproven coach too. NoConfirma strikes again.

We didn't need to feed off of this stuff until the beginning of the month. TSW has a long history of being tightly-run and self-policed. It wasn't until the last three weeks that anyone started calling anyone turds, Nazis, etc, over it. We are all free to post as misguidedly as we want. We are also free to be called on it.

I liken them more to stats in minor league baseball. You may hit a ton in developmental A-ball, but let's see how you do with sliders, coherent thoughts, cutters, correctly used metaphors, that sort of thing.

Almost as funny as Tank Carder.

But... kick the can... down the road? Means to keep putting something off. I have no idea what's going on around here anymore.

"Kick the can"? So you mean like, keep putting it off?

Excellent question. I'm sure we are looking at longer commercial breaks during timeouts and between quarters. No way are the networks leaving any money on the table.

I will never forget that game. A.A. Ron Rodgers got picked twice by a dude named Rambo! You can't make that stuff up.
