  1. I was there in late August.  Stayed at a Best Western which was perfectly fine and had a decent hotel bar for afterwards.  Colonial Williamsburg was 5 min away, Busch Gardens was 15 min.  The Busch Gardens waterpark, Water Country USA was a ton of fun.  If you like roller coasters, Busch Gardens has like 7 or 8 and they are all pretty cool.  Walk around Williamsburg and pay a la carte for what you want to do rather than buying tickets.  Shooting a colonial musket was fun, as an example.  The restaurants in Colonial Williamsburg are overpriced, but the food can be decent.  We ate there two nights.  

  2. Its unbelievable to me that his teammates are getting in his contract business when he is only one play away from never playing again.  I hope Bell strolls in in Week 10 looking like he spent the season eating Cheetos on the couch and cramps up his first play and goes on the "injured" list.  Bell deserves to get paid a real contract with real guaranteed money.  I am always on the players side in these kind of disputes.

    So a guy who is a wizard at Pro Personnel takes a job as a college scout, for which he showed s shocking lack of aptitude as a GM.  Weird.  I don't understand why an NFL team would not hire this guy to be part of their Pro Personnel department.  Unless Dougie didn't want to take a step back.  Best of luck to Doug Whaley, but this doesn't sound like a great fit.

     

     

    This is totally accurate.  He should be someone's Director of Pro Personnel and he would do a fantastic job.

  4. My biggest disagreement with the "analysis" is that he claims the playoff berth was detrimental.  I disagree completely.

     

    That berth got the 17 year playoff drought off the teams back.  More importantly, the new staff won't be fielding questions about a playoff drought they had no part in creating.  It bought them time to do the rebuild right.  I just hope Allen proves to be the guy here.

    I think you’re spot on, Dave.

    Analytics is the dull future.

    Excuse me as I barf.

    JMHO, but I love reading deep dives inside the numbers and trying to figure out why things are happening.  This applies to all sports I religiously follow (football, baseball, hockey).  Lets take a deep dive into the numbers and then let the writer give me his/her opinion on it.  I may not ultimately agree with the writer, but I really respect that type of analysis.

  6. Pretty simple really....keep work at work and extracurricular activities away from the office. Your office persona should be 100% professional.  What you do on your own time, is up to you.   Example....Brian Cashman had a messy affair/divorce that was front page news for weeks in NY.  He is still GM of the Yankees.  If the affair was with a Yankees employee, I think he would have been gone years ago.

    Ray Bentley and the Darby the Dinosaur Books I was a kid and of course had one.

    Also Thomas Smith. Because his jersey said T. Smith and I didn't know what the T stood for we called him Teriyaki because that's what we had for dinner. Wasn't like we could just google it at the time.

    Ray Bentley is awesome!  I had all the Darby books and taught my kids to read using them to this day.

     

    I mean...look at that mullet!
