Miyagi-Do Karate

what is Doyle’s story? I do miss having a guy like Nick O’Leary, so the announcers can point out that he is jack Nicklaus’s grandson!

I think it’s a great signal to Cook that we take care of our own.

This is the NFL.com pre-draft report, which is what my expectations also were based on how he was hyped: https://www.nfl.com/prospects/keon-coleman/3200434f-4c29-5571-54fa-77236b775ae1 The former star basketball player has a rebounder’s blend of extension and timing to give jump-ball defenders the blues. He’s big and strong with soft hands, but he can play with a little more aggression in claiming his deep-ball space and getting after it as a run blocker.

McD doesn’t like it either. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/sean-mcdermott-expresses-safety-concerns-about-the-tush-push

Something about even a HB dive feels like more of a football or skill play. Have to block it up, hit the hole, etc. on the tush push, just feels like a mass of bodies each shoving each other.

I do think it is prone to a lot more dirty play, as @RoyBatty is alive said. If I am playing the eagles, I am flying over the line early and just decking Jalen hurts. What’s the penalty? Moving the ball 2 inches forward. I think it’s consequences like these that will get it banned.

To me, what was disappointing was Coleman just wasn’t as big and physical as advertised. I get that he doesn’t have the speed or separation. But he was supposed to be a big physical jump ball guy. Seeing Trent McDuffie (who is like 6 inches shorter and 20 pounds lighter) just manhandle and out-physical him in the AFCCG was not great.

I actually think it ought to be banned. It’s just not a skill play.

if you are a broccoli guy, I find it much better to have broccoli rabe (or rapini) on a pizza. I Used to go to a Neapolitan place that did a great white pizza with sausage and broccoli rabe, and it was excellent.

very sad when anyone dies, but you had to use that quip. You had to. on a separate note, that song always reminds me of one my favorite early 2000s movies “About a Boy.” The kid in it is an awkward middle school kid who sings “killing me softly” for the school talent show, ready to basically feel the brunt of massive scorn and ridicule.

where shall we meet?

You had me at “Panthers.”

I finished watching Beast Games with my kids on Amazon and thoroughly enjoyed it!

Comes down to really a handful of plays. All about execution.

If I had to guess based on the new DB coach, they are going to re-make their entire CB room with more man guys. So Jackson could be out.

Buddy, git r done!!

FWIW, my view is whether married or single, I think it’s just important to be content in one’s status, and kind of own it!

I have a close friend from college who never got married. He is now in his late 40s. He’s very content with it. i think he just wanted to have the freedom that came with doing his own thing. And now he wouldn’t really even think of getting married and having to compromise on how he is living his life. The only thing I feel sad about for Him is that he would have made a great dad.

Agreed. He was absolutely money in the playoffs. The Bass of old. You could tell too that the coaching staff had total confidence in him, as well.

No doubt that there are a lot of bad customers. But a bad customer is not a license to treat all customers poorly! I can’t even get someone to say “hello” to me most times.

I will never say a bad thing about Jordan Phillips! That dude basically made the defensive play of the year against the chiefs with that sack. Got us the ball back with a chance to win.

well, the 2017 draft was McD, I suppose. It definitely wasn’t Whaley. But guys like Rousseau and AJE were what I would expect for late 1st and 2nd round picks. Edmunds was a key cog of our defense. Allen obviously a home run and then some. I am not saying Beane has been great in those early rounds, but I also think it’s unfair for the pundits to point at Elam as illustrative of his early round drafting.

I think this is definitely part of it. But I am also talking about common courtesy, or basic manners. I don’t need super Chick Fil A service. But how about a “hey” and a “thanks,” or a “sorry about the wait— was tied up.” Burn out can’t cause people to just all sense of basic decency and common sense, can it?

My same take too. It took me forever to get through that article to figure out there was actually no “lie” here.

Same here. This is a bit of a pet peeve, but nowadays kids call adults my their first names. Like some 6-year old kid will call you, “Mr. Pete” or just “Pete.” That is nuts to me. I have taught my kids to use adults’s last names only. in fact, I am 47 years old and saw a childhood friend’s mom recently who is like 75, and I still called her “Mrs. Smith.” okay, I am done with my old-man ranting (for now).
