I’ve got announcers in this game, but I will give them credit because I can clearly hear what they are saying. It varies more game to game than network to network, I think, but sometimes it’s almost impossible to hear the commentators words due to jacking up the mix of the band and the crowd and all the other noises. I’m getting to where I mute it entirely on a bad broadcast. I am fully aware that I am not at the stadium, and I’d like to hear it if they tell me something informative.

Keep at it! It’s never too late!!!

This is roughly why I use my personal shopper when it’s absolutely necessary to get a car. She enjoys the game as much as I detest it. I pulled up in the lot one time and before both feet got out of the car and hit the pavement a guy says “so is this the one you’re trading in?” We did not stay, I don’t tolerate BS well. She does her homework with a cousin who is at the auctions and she has other resources. She’s not shy about getting up and leaving a dealership. Not in a huff, but just as part of getting what she wants. She gets a few dealers competing in the search and sees who comes thru. She wanted to replace my car/dog taxi but I shot that down. I like my dings and scratches and fur. I’d have to worry about a new car, when this one is perfectly broken in!

I’m quoting this…… because I can. The draft is a crap shoot, and we only admit that when it suits us. Nobody gets them all right, you just hope to do better than most, more often than not. Every team has busts, even in the early rounds. I honestly think the football side with game tape and all that type of evaluation is almost an impossible way to judge players, if used in a vacuum. It’s obviously the HUGE part of it, but you have to know the person. What motivates them? That’s a big reason the draft is so difficult, and all teams have busts.

A little closer to home, Jack Kemp’s son Jeff played QB for quite a few years in the NFL. I should have known because we were in 3rd grade together and only when he came to my neighborhood could we beat the older kids in football in the backyard. .

This is not news to Josh, he will be just fine tomorrow. Ask me when he’s been up all night with a crying infant, but he will have peeps for that. Somehow we all survive childhood, first our own, then the ones we create. It’s a friggin’ miracle, at least from my perspective. .

Using hindsight like that regarding draft choices is often one indication of a feeble mind, imo. You can almost always find a better choice for any draft slot with the benefit of hindsight. Tom Brady. Case closed.

Give us a healthy DL with Ed, Hoecht and Bosa all healthy (plus Groot and the backups) and we have a VERY formidable DL which helps every level of the defense. Add in one quality WR (with all TE’s healthy) and we are a darn good football team. We are 7-1 with Kincaid playing. Maybe Brandon Cooks is enough to fill that deep threat role for this year. Time will tell, but I like our chances going forward.

Ya never wanna hear that……

So, are we looking at a June-ish birth? After free agency and the draft, but before training camp. Planning like that is the mark of a true leader! …..or…..nope, I’m going with the leader stuff. .

Congrats to Josh, Hailee and Simon!

I watched it again on NFLN yesterday and had the same reaction. Wow! That was even worse than I remembered in real time, which means it had to be pretty darn bad! Those fields they play on overseas tell you just how serious they are about player safety. The hypocrisy is really annoying.

No, it does not negate what he did before. And what he did before does not excuse his complete lack of professionalism when he went into full diva mode….again.

Would you care to explain the contradiction in the bolded comments. No, never mind, don’t bother trying. 🤦

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. And if it winds up in a tart, the Ryan Bros will fight each other for it.
