Agreed. Grossi has trackers going on YouTube (who take 0% of donations) and the actual website for the charity tracking donations through his link. He’s nearly at $240k in 24 hours… he did St Jude last year with his 30 Stadiums/30 Days charity marathon. I contemplated making a post about this myself but was happy to see someone beat me to it. Just happy to spread worthwhile causes

I wonder if this saga will have a happy ending?

Super Bowl LIX - Chiefs vs Eagles - Pregame thread
KingBoots8 replied to Draconator's topic in The Stadium Wall
I’m not watching. that being said, I hope Barkley rips 2 long TD runs off and takes the wind out of KC’s sails. I’m sure the refs will throw flags and prevent all that, but one can hope. Barkley winning Super Bowl MVP would be a dream come true lol -
I’m struggle with this. I mean, going TO a superbowl is a very unique experience that I would probably have a lot of fun at, but it it’s the Bills in the SuperBowl i would rather drive to Buffalo and be IN the city. When we do get to the SB I will be in Buffalo for that. If we are talking like 2nd or 3rd SB then I would be more open to going there. Why, you ask? Because there will only ever be 1 “First SB Win” and I want to see Buffalo lit up with people celebrating in the streets. After that, while they would be awesome, it would lose a (very tiny) bit of charm. All that being said: Vegas, Miami, Atlanta would probably be near the top of my list. SoFi stadium is up there too, but mostly because I would take time to travel to the Pacific Ocean (never seen it in person)

And Sueprbowl MVP 🙏

“He has a 5 year plan!” ”What is it? Don’t die?”

#30, #62, and #171. I’d consider a 4th rounder if we got another later rounder back. Not warm to the idea of trading Groot or Oliver, but we need someone on the DL to take over a game. Von was supposed to be that guy but injury and time are hrs to overcome

Ok, what’s the over/under on the page count this thread gets to?

Say “NO” to any Steelers WR reclamation projects

D line is priority #1 due mostly to expiring contracts for underperforming players. Then it’s a toss-up between WR, S, and CB. Whatever we do we need to find immediate contributors at those positions. WIDE RECEIVER I’d argue WR is a bigger need than S/CB personally - we need someone who can separate, which is the one thing we don’t seem to have on offense. Shakir is the closest we have to dependable, and Coleman is obviously going to be back, as well as Samuel who looked much more the player we expected once his foot fully healed. I think Mack Hollins is a must-sign FA, although his price tag may be a bit higher now. Either way, I think a reasonable contract is warranted. 2-3 years would be nice. If (likely when) Coop walks do we get a possible comp pick? I’m open to re-sign the guy if he shows up more on the stat sheet next year, but I think we all expected a bit more. If his heart isn’t in it, spend the money elsewhere. SAFETY Bishop played well enough this year. Safety is the hardest position to master in our scheme so I didn’t expect him to be perfect right away. Up against KC in their house in the biggest game of his life: he held his own for the most part and made some nice plays. I still like his pick, but we are going to need more than him and Rapp. Hamlin is a great story, a nice kid, but a starter? I think he’s limited physically. His position is where I look to upgrade. Given the learning curve of Safety, I either target a FA with some experience or draft someone mid-rounds to learn like Bishop did. He’s a FA now, and I just don’t think he will be worth his asking price personally. CORNERBACK I think Douglas’ best days are behind him. Last year he was electric, but this year he seemed to get burned quite a few times. For a reasonable contract I would bring him back, but it would need to be pretty team friendly. Benford has his role locked down and I expect an extension in the near future. He was an amazing draft choice and has worked out very well for us ….which leases me to Elam. I don’t think anyone here, after watching that performance against KC, is going to be clamoring to keep him around. I don’t expect a complete cut, but I could see him moved for a day 3 pick easily this offseason. The only way he stays is because he’s affordable for one more year, but I think all parties would benefit from a chance of scenery. Draft his replacement, add another via FA. D-LINE We have some serious work to do. To start, the following are gone or likely gone: Von Miller - $17m cap savings, $6m dead cap hit. I really do like Von but I think it’s time to pull the plug on this experiment. Huge savings by cutting him, and could allow someone like Solomon to get reps. Jones - only $2.5m hit this year, may keep as a depth player on a team friendly deal Smoot - only signed a 1 yr $2.5m contract for 2024 Guaranteed to stay for at least this year: Groot, Ed Oliver, Solomon, Epenesa We need some help here. I don’t imagine us being super active in big-name FA’s though; mostly reclamations and older vets chasing a ring. Without a combine it’s not really worth diving into draft picks just yet, but we will be looking early at these spots I believe, barring someone outstanding falling for some reason Priority re-signing: Mack Hollins, Ty Johnson Priority extensions: Josh Allen (likely due for an extension soon), James Cook, Khalil Shakir, Christian Benford

What are you doing to get out of this funk?
KingBoots8 replied to Rigotz's topic in The Stadium Wall
Take care of my family. This year was the first year I watched playoff games at home with my kids, and while I was sometimes loud and excited, especially after the Ravens win, I had to show them how to handle a difficult loss. My kids were sad, so I put my fandom aside for a bit and explained how I felt and what I was upset about to them. Their presence allowed me to handle this far better than I expected, and showed them football is, at the end of the day, only a game. …after they went to bed I took some “medication 💨” which also helped. -
1. Image is accurate 2. 100% am not watching this again. Go birds I guess 🤷♂️
