I kinda used to think that as well but then you hear about them being in on a guy like Antonio Brown. At that point I was like yeah, they value high character and buying into their culture but if they're going after a nutcase like Brown then I'd assume they feel strongly enough about the culture and the team leaders that they'd be able to handle a personality like that. At the same time, it's become a little bit of a tell for them. For me it's gotten to the point where I can read scouting reports and see if the guy checks the boxes for McBeane. I guessed they'd go after Shakir, they did. Last year I felt like Bishop was a guy they'd like, they picked him. It doesn't happen every time but if you wanna get a decent idea of which prospects they probably like look for the dudes with one, a lot of experience, two, high character with leadership abilities, three, team first and just wants to win. Typically after a draft is complete I'll go read up on the guys they picked and for like 70% of them you'll find at least one or two of those traits.

A mighty good man?

Sonofabeane!

That's a bummer. I liked Mack. Dude caught nothing but touchdowns or first downs this year. Seriously, of his 31 receptions like 25 were first downs and five others were TDs.

Dude grew up just outside Toronto. Seems like the type of WR they like. I bet it's all gonna be all right.

He definitely seems to be pretty selective with outside projects. I'm pretty sure he's also said he's busy enough with football and doesn't want a constant ongoing workload to deal with. He does some local commercials and he had the Gatorade campaign as well as the Pepsi commercial this year. Seems like he prefers to keep it more low-key as opposed to being all over the place. As for the topic, I bet he'd do pretty well on SNL. When he doesn't have to be in "I'm a professional" mode everything you hear about the guy behind the scenes is that he's a big, light-hearted goofball.

I had the same thought regarding Faulk and Edge James. And you're right, Faulk played alongside Manning for one season only which happened to be Manning's rookie year of '98. Colts picked James in '99 and he played there thru 2005.

It's pretty good. There are some users who seem to harp on the same nonsense year after year and that gets lame. There are also some who believe if you don't have an elite future HoF All Pro at starter, a perennial Pro Bowler at the backup spot, and at least a PFF rated top ten at third string then you're a complete failure as a GM and everything should be burned down. That crap gets old.

I mean it was nice to see the Chefs get smashed but it was one of the crappiest Super Bowls ever because the Iggles can eat mah shorts just the same. It was like Giant D*uche vs Turd Sandwich.

What a lousy frickin' game lol. I mean it's kinda one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen because uh, eat mah shorts Chefs you red rat bastids. But also, Philly can have a whole plate of shorts too because their fans are mostly turds. And their coach is a dingleberry. I really wanted both teams to lose but this is a nice consolation prize. Kermit got crushed all game and Kelce 'bout to get dumped...at least that's what his face has looked like all game. Anyway...suck it, Chefs. Finally not every single call and bounce went their way.

Yeah, I bet against myself that I'd probably have more fun at a colonoscopy today than watching this abysmal game.

About friggin' time, man. Sometimes I still can't believe this dude is the QB on my favorite team.

I mean, I'd be down if they wanna try the Rams method of going all in to win the big one. May as well.

This one stuck with me for a while. I hate it. I hate it for the whole team, I hate it for us as fans. Other fans hate it too, people are sick of the Chiefs. At the end of the day, they had a chance to go win it and it didn't happen. The next three days I couldn't shake it off. I must've muttered "godd*mmit!" to myself every five minutes. All week long leading up to the game I just wouldn't allow myself to really believe they were gonna win because that's happened before and it's just a kick in the nards. But during the game I had a few moments of, "they're gonna do it, they're gonna beat these clowns and go to the big one, finally!" And then, ya know, it just didn't happen. I don't think the Bills played poorly, they just didn't quite take advantage of all their opportunities. Some of the calls on offense were a little curious but I dunno, again, they had a chance and it just didn't happen. I hate the Chiefs. They get exactly what they need every time. The refs were crap but I expected that and I don't even get too bent out of shape about that anymore. I don't wanna watch the stupid Super Bowl. After the loss I had to disconnect for a bit. I hope they both lose.

Well, if they win the next two games they'll finish the season with 17 total victories. There's a guy on the team who wears #17. He's alright. He's no Art Schlichter but he can throw it probably at least 11 or 12 yards.
