  1. Stop worrying about what the Patriots might do at QB. Rodgers isn’t being traded by Green Bay and even if he was, he’s not going to New England. I’m convinced that Belichick wants to prove he can win with another QB he develops himself (and I don’t think it’ll be a 1st round pick either). I think Stidham is the guy for this year at least. The fact they didn’t even draft a QB is telling IMO. I think they like Stidham a lot and will give him the opportunity to show he’s their guy of the future.
  2. First draft of the McBeane era where they didn’t trade up or down. They (obviously) traded their 1st, but no trades during the draft to move up/down. That’s a first, not that it matters. Very happy with this draft class. I have a lot of trust in Beane and the staff he’s put together.
  3. I like this pick. Maybe he turns into a good backup for the Bills. And who knows, maybe he can offer Allen some help in his development. Some of his strengths are things that Allen needs to improve at. From @DJB‘s scouting report on Fromm’s strengths:
  4. He kinda looks like Jarvis Landry
  5. Interesting that they didn’t have a 2nd round grade on Mims (about 11 min mark of above video)
  6. There’s still 5 more rounds in the draft. The Bills still have 5 picks left and lots of time before the season starts. Let’s see what happens before we start worrying about who our RB2 is.
  7. I like it! And Just remember, if you’re mad they didn’t use this pick on offense, they used their 1st rounder on a WR, and already spent 4 picks on the offensive side of the ball.
  8. Press release from RB (the makers of Lysol) today: https://www.rb.com/media/news/2020/april/improper-use-of-disinfectants/ ?‍♂️
  9. I’m not feeling as good about Miami picking Tua as some of you are. I’d have rather seen them going with Justin Herbert. If Tua stays healthy he could be a great QB. He has tons of talent and his accuracy + anticipation look top notch (from what I’ve watched/read anyway). Tua May have some health question marks, but IMO Herbert has more ?? when it comes to playing the QB position at a high level. I felt like Herbert was another tannehill level (mid-tier/mediocre) QB where as if all goes well with Tua he has the chance to be a top 5-10 QB in the NFL. But they always say “be careful what you wish for”, so maybe I’m wrong (like many times in the past) and in a few years I’ll be glad they didn’t take Herbert (and/or did take Tua... I hope!).
  10. Thanks everyone. I’ve been doing a bunch of reading on adjustable bases and mattresses and I think I’m going to pull the trigger. I think I’m going to order this adjustable base from iDealBed. Anyone have one by any chance? https://www.dealbeds.com/idealbed-4i-custom-adjustable-bed-base-wireless-massage-zero-gravity/ They seem well made, especially for the price. I’m still undecided on exactly which brand mattress I want, but I’m definitely going to order one. There are lots of good choices. Thanks again for all the recommendations everyone.
  11. Even though the bills don’t have a pick I’m still looking forward to the 1st round of the draft tonight. I’ve been looking forward to it all day long. It’s just nice to have a sports related event to watch + talk about. I’m excited to see how this virtual draft works out.
  12. https://www.amazon.com/Disposable-Particulate-Respirator-Self-Priming-Anti-particulate/dp/B086LJVD2P/ref=sr_1_1 So I ordered these today and just wanted to share in case anyone else was interested. Last night you got 10 for the same price. Today you get 4. But whatever, it is what it is. They are KN95 masks. It’s the Chinese version of the n95 mask. This is the only 95% filtration mask I could find online that was actually available for purchase. If you do order, make sure you pick someone that’s shipping soon. There are a number of different sellers. Mine are coming between apr. 30th - May 5th. Some sellers aren’t shipping until mid May- mid June. [Edit: just a note some have commented that some masks from sellers in China have been found to be decontaminated used masks. Buy at your own risk]
  13. Restaurants in Georgia, take notes: The guy with the hand sanitizer had me laughing.
  14. https://www.businessinsider.com/santa-clara-county-california-confirms-february-coronavirus-death-first-us-2020-4 ‘California says a person who died February 6 had COVID-19, suggesting the first US coronavirus death happened at least 3 weeks earlier than previously thought’ 1st coronavirus death in the US was originally thought to be on Feb. 28th in Washington state.
  15. Man, I wish they’d allow fans to access the coaching presentations. I’d even pay to subscribe.
  16. Well, Rex Ryan isn’t coaching anymore, so...
  17. He said of gov. Kemp- “we’ll see what happens. He's a very capable man. He knows what he’s doing. He’s done a very good job as governor in Georgia,” and said he’d be talking to kemp very soon. So it sounds like he’s on board with Georgia opening to me. ?‍♂️
  18. A few quick links on compost tea: Basics: https://www.kisorganics.com/blogs/news/the-ultimate-compost-tea-guide Compost tea recipes: http://www.getcleanhands.com/pages/compost-tea-recipe.html The most basic compost tea recipes use either compost, earthworm castings or Alaska humas soil (this: https://hydropros.com/products/general-organics-ancient-forest-5-cu-ft) and air + water. -fill a 5 gallon bucket with water (let sit 24hrs to let chlorine evaporate if using tap water. You can bubble it w/the air stones to speed up this process) - put 2 air stones at the bottom - take your compost, put a few cups into an old sock, pantyhose, paint strainer bag (my favorite) etc (they even sell compost tea bags) and hang it from the side or middle of the bucket (I like to hang mine from the middle by tying it around a stick that sits across the top of the bucket). You can larvae the compost loose too but it’s messier that way. -let it bubble for 24-48 hours. You can add in a few tablespoons of molasses if you want as food for the micro life, but it’s not necessary. If you’re really feeling ambitious there are tons of different DIY compost tea brewer builds on YouTube. Some more complex than others. Some make their own pvc manifolds instead of using air stones. But I’d try the simple 5 gallon bucket setup and see if you like it first. Here’s a simple design: Ive done it with a 2 outlet air pump and only 2 air stones too. I used 2 of the heavy 4” cylindrical air stones (the lighter ones tend to want to float). The goal is to have the whole surface of the bucket bubbling. Ideally, you don’t want any dead spots that aren’t getting aerated. Some notes on using molasses: https://www.gardenteacompany.com/compost-tea-recipes/ I generally agree with what they're saying on not using molasses, but I do still use it. Molasses does make the team more bacterial dominant and you don’t always want that. It can also cause the tea to go anaerobic if you use poor starting materials (compost not properly composted, etc). It’s easy to tell if that happens though because it smells terrible. But molasses is a good food source for the microbes in the tea and in the soil and for the plants as well. IMO It also adds some flavor to the plants/veggies. I’ll sometimes just water my plants with plain water + a tablespoon or two of molasses instead of using it on the tea. For most broad use, you want a diverse mix of micro life (bacteria and fungi). So maybe skip it in the beginning or don’t add it in until later in the brewing process (12 hours or less before it’s done brewing). You can get more specific on fungi or bacteria dominant teas for different plants if you really get into it (it’s easy to do). One of my favorite bloom recipes uses molasses. It’s simple. - compost -bat guano (you buy it powdered. It’s cheap) -molasses I water my flowering plants this after they start showing fruits. It helps them bulk up and gives an amazing taste IMO. Bat guano is my favorite flowering additive. It’s high in phosphorus and calcium, 2 things flowering plants need lots of, and nothing beats guano for adding taste to organic crops (IMO). It’s also loaded with diverse micro life that multiplies when aerated in the tea. For vegetation: -compost or earthworm castings (EWC are a good source of nitrogen) -fish hydrolysate (some type of natural fish fertilizer like Neptune’s brand they sell at Home Depot). - I love using kelp (either liquid or kelp meal (powdered. It’s cheaper). I add kelp meal to my veg teas and periodically during bloom too. Kelp is loaded with good stuff and it has natural plant growth hormones (like cytokinins, that promote cell division). They also help plants recover quicker from transplant shock, and if you spray your plants with kelp + fulvic acid (2/5 ratio) it’ll help them develop more flowering sites. There are a lot more detailed recipes on the Internet. The link I provided is a great start for the most well known + trusted recipes out there. But as I said you can start with just compost, water and air.
