Miyagi-Do Karate

Sad, but true. Dude is a baller, but can’t pay him at this point.

Utter waste of money. how about they draft a 6th round RB instead?

I think he would have a leg to stand on had he had the breakout year this past year that everyone was expecting. He didn’t.

Thinking about this some more, it was JB’s fault. He could have gone out on his own terms, but seems like he was refusing to be clear as to his intentions and timeline. Smart move by the school to just quickly put an end to it. Not classy, but necessary.

Hope you guys are right! Just feel very jaded by the last few years, and worry that the continuity (especially re scheme and style of play) won’t help.

Wish they hired outside of the program. They need a fresh start.

Geez, what a way to end the season. Girard with the really crummy shot at the end.

yikes.

you are true a believer! I have my serious doubts, but i guess we will see!

I bet there is an easy out after year 1 or 2.

Will be bittersweet, for sure. He is a legend, but these last few years have been lean. It is a different game now.

This seems to be the normal disease that all #1 WR’s have. My one Steelers’ fan buddy warned me about this when I told him how Allen and Diggs were BFF’s. He said the same was true of Ben R and AB— they were out there throwing passes to each others’ sons in training camp, going out to eat, etc. Then when AB didn’t get the ball as much, all of that went out the window.

I think he will be back to the Steelers on a very modest deal.

I actually don’t think there is any team in the entire NFL that would trade anything (like not even a conditional 7th round pick) for him. Amazing how this guy has fallen.

Didn’t you used to work for DTV? I canceled myself (after almost 20 years), and my plan runs out here in two weeks. Not sure yet what I am going to do.

“That dog won’t hunt.”

I am Not sure what to say at this point. Some dark days here.

I have played a handful of times and it is pretty fun. I used to play quite a bit of ultimate frisbee back in the day and prefer it. But being a golfer, I like disc golf too. I have a buddy who is a die hard. Goes out every morning to play and loves it.

I don’t get the obsession with Running backs. Build the line and anyone can run behind it.

Have you ever read any of Dr. fuhrman’s stuff? It’s basically vegan, with a heavy emphasis on just eating super clean. We have done his thing for small stretches. One of our friends has eaten clean like that for about a year and has lost like 75 pounds. Good luck! I wish I could stick to something like that. That said, as I get older, I just feel grosser when I eat a lot of meat. I went out with friends for BBQ last night and didn’t even really enjoy it.

remember back in the day— there was maybe 1 really good shooter to account for, and most teams didn’t have a big who could shoot or pass in the high post? I remember when Villanova had Dante Cunningham, and he was one of the few guys who gave us a lot of trouble in the high post. Now, every team has 3-4 really good 3-point shooters, and most teams have a few big guys that can fill that high post and find the shooters. I honestly don’t think even our best defensive teams at Syracuse could be effective today. Even against Pitt, they were draining a lot of hard, contested 3’s.

Agreed. I said this 5 minutes after we drafted him!! i sort of fault Beane and McD for not moving him to safety immediately. Beane’s view after the draft was that it was easier to start him at CB. I disagree. At a minimum, they could have used the his time on IR to make the shift.

It is context specific, but I almost always let people in. This is based on two things: 1) you never know the other person’s situation. We have all been there where a lane closure sneaks up on you and you are stuck in the wrong lane. could be very innocent. 2) people are crazy. I am just looking to avoid any type of confrontation on the road— never know when some crazy dude will engage in road rage.

Just can’t play zone anymore. Game has changed too much.

Agreed. Need to invest in two new interior line players right away.
