I am certainly no judge, but I’ve heard multiple people say there are only 6-8 true first round talents in this draft, about half of what is more typical. IDK, maybe they are all parroting each other, but getting into the top 8 is crazy expensive. Having said that, maybe there is a guy or two they love, but they expect them to go off the board a half dozen picks ahead of them. We all know Beane likes to hop around, so nothing would shock me.

Well, at least this year I was aware that the Oscars had taken place.

I find myself asking this often. If, for example, you won’t take a QB under 6’, but then I hold my thumb and forefinger an inch apart, and I ask if that really makes the difference between a winning player and a loser. I want guys who are just good football players. Watch the film more than the measurements.

Was it Marcia? Did she burn the house down?

When I was a kid they worked in the offseason, but it was as a trucker or at a loading dock. “Farm boy” strong! LOVE Gabe and what he has showed. I was shocked to see him out there on the first play as a rookie. Covid kind of kept him as a secret present under the Christmas tree. What a gift!

After my banking years I bought into a regional appraisal company on the west coast of Florida, then moved to ATL and worked for an appraisal management company. I then worked leasing high end properties for Sotheby's in Atlanta. (Who rents a house for $10-25k/month????) Having said all that…..I want to confirm that Zillow is hot garbage! It’s easy, and it’s handy, but they have never been inside one of those houses. They are also FAR from current. I had listings that had been off the market for months, and I’d still get calls based on Zillow info. I also have seen multiple parcel sales shown in Zillow as though a single lot sold for that price. It is not to be trusted. It’s OK to look at Zillow (it’s easy, after all), but it’s a mistake to trust anything you see there. There is also this to consider. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/a-viral-tiktok-accuses-zillow-and-its-competitors-of-manipulating-the-housing-market-heres-whats-really-going-on-11632511943 Rant over, for now.

Go too slow, the idiot behind gets you! I don’t mind driving around town in bad weather, but the highways scare me. I’ve had some life threatening issues going long distance, like when you want to pull over but you don’t know where “over” is, and you’ll just get crushed by a truck from behind. Sometimes it’s better to adjust your plans. YUCK! What a tragedy.

I don’t know who, but I do expect a vet before the draft. That’s how we roll. We should be “in on” just about everyone who is available. That is their job. To what degree is the real issue.

I have a buddy who is building a house (since his problem child burned the old one to the ground…OOPS!). He’s been watching the cost of lumber, concrete, etc almost daily. I can’t imagine a project of stadium size and what the odds are of coming in on budget in this environment. Hopefully things stabilize, for a A LOT of reasons!

Very sad, I always liked his work. When it’s my time, I hope to die in my sleep and not become a burden to my family. I pray this can be well managed by those involved. Hopefully he does well with treatment/therapy.

Ummmm, I’m afraid I got that backwards. I went to college, but I rarely went to class. 🤷‍♂️

Maybe a “massage therapist” would help?

Take the 27 mph wind at your back!

Clever! Knock out most of your vowels. I just did Wordless for the first time after brushing off the grandson for the most part the last couple weekends. I’ll play along more going forward.

The “Toronto Bills” would make about as much sense as the Utah Jazz. Sure, that made sense in New Orleans, but Salt Lake City is one of the last places I would ever think of when jazz comes up. If the Miami Hurricanes moved to Minneapolis, or the Phoenix Suns moved to Buffalo……. Did nobody think to come up with a new name? 🤷‍♂️

Your son has flair!

Do you play at work? Do you end up going all DC Tom and starting with I-D-I-O-T a lot?

Audio is a word. I’ve even heard it said before. Our 8 year old grandson spends most Sundays with us and he played this a lot. I’ve resisted him getting me hooked so far, barely helping. I’m embarrassed by my current level on Wordscapes and don’t need another obsession…..but you sucked me in! I just finished a couple games, and I have to decide between walking away or getting sucked in….. BRB

This way the New York Jets continue to I get a chance to actually visit the state of New York once a year!

I think “confrontational” was a very kind choice or words. Bravo to you!

Then it comes down to which QB can throw the ball out of the stadium, of course.

That even LOOKS expensive! And I don’t care.

Why do you think I see him as any other than human? I said nothing of the sort. I was just hoping he was a rational adult. That’s different.

I forgive him completely………if he makes 75% of his FT’s. Otherwise, he’s dead to me….. What’s his name again?

They said “probably”, and that was one of many shapes in many oceans. I’d start checking Lake Erie and the other Great Lakes while we are at it! There is also a retention pond at the end of the road I have questions about.
