  1. Interesting. Ritchie has always had mental issues and has teetered on the edge of snapping entirely - is my impression. Really hope his story doesn’t have a dark ending but I am concerned.
  2. Lottery tickets are not a strategy.
  3. Literacy is not your bag.
  4. Football instincts need to be top-notch as well, otherwise the measurables won't matter. That said, his floor is a great pass rusher - if for any reason he can't or won't learn the nuances of playing in space, they'll put his hand down and he'll still be elite.
  5. I cannot wait until Will Ferrell plays him in a spoof about a meathead QB. The golf course scene will be EPIC. Can we please crowdfund for this to happen?
  6. I'm not sure I understand the broader point he's trying to make, honestly.
  7. I for one love the anonymous rumblings from scouts, execs, agents and coaches, and wish there were more of it out there. Did anyone else use to wait religiously for Len Pasquarelli's Friday "Tip Sheet"? He had a "rumblings from around the NFL" section at the very end that I always found fascinating. And Pro Football Weekly used to have a weekly "Whispers from Around the League" section that I couldn't wait to read. I get why sourceless, largely unverified info is frowned upon as it probably should be - but a lot of the content turned out to be dead accurate.
  8. Wow - man, Florio started as a crank and built an empire.
  9. Please, start a new thread for every fleeting thought that squirts its way out of your cerebellum.
  10. I bet "taken off their board" is not the right phrasing - I HIGHLY doubt that Rosen and Mayfield were categorically removed from the Bills' draft board, but I wouldn't be surprised if they had other, non-QB players ranked higher at 12 and perhaps even 22.
  11. Man. If we step back for a second - just think about it, Marrone walking around the halls yelling at junior staff members, Brandon prowling for action, and Whaley coming in banged up from a night on Chippewa - this must've been a fun place to work... and then you factor in the LaFontaine ugliness and the Tim Murray aloofness on the other side of things... PSE needs to professionalize its operations ASAP. This kind of dysfunction ultimately could reach the product if left unchecked, and possibly has. They should be hiring from the outside, revamping HR, using consultants to evaluate the efficacy of internal communications structures (up, down, horizontal, etc.), implementing 360 reviews, all of it. The Pegulas have been presiding over a total sh*$ show.
  12. I'm not sure they're all that dissimilar (besides the predatory behavior stuff)...
  13. I dunno, I think it worked out pretty well for the Cardinals getting Rosen and Kirk and not giving up too many assets. That division is gonna be fun to watch next year.
  14. Yup. Decades of our historical sins seem to be coming home to roost at this moment. I can understand why certain folks feel like they're caught in the teeth of something they didn't cause, that they're being punished for the crimes of previous generations - where all of a sudden, the tables are tilted towards women and minorities at the expense of the white working class male, and it feels fundamentally unfair, and you have certain factions of the Left cheering all of it on, and it could push one to believe that society has conspired against them... but I believe we'll look back some day and view this era as an important social re-calibration.
  15. I agree. We're seeing what might someday be considered a slight over-correction, but it makes sense viewed in the context of, well, the last ten thousand years. I understand why it upsets certain people but that's probably just the price we need to pay as a society to fix systemic inequalities.
  16. This is exactly correct. Peterman heaves the ball to a spot on the field and hopes the WR will be in that spot, and for out patterns he throws his entire frame into it and hopes for the best like Fitzpatrick used to do. He's not dissecting a defense post-snap like many here seem to think.
  17. The closest thing to pure evil I've seen on this forum. Congrats. EDIT: you were better off without the "edit."
  18. She may not be the best person on paper - who knows how she’ll do with it and there are many potential intangible benefits to making this move.
  19. Correct. There are lots of potential benefits. Kills me when white men get worked up about “qualifications” - jobs and privileges have been handed to us for thousands of years. You are wasting electrons.
  20. With all due respect, working at Leonardi’s Pizza is a bit different than working for a billion dollar sports and entertainment franchise.
  21. Enough! If she’s smart and a good listener and a good delegator, that’s about 95% of it and for millennia men have been getting jobs like this handed to them because of their dads or their friends and no one thought twice about it - and if you think you’re that much more qualified quit moaning about it on a message board and get working on your resume. I say all of that with much love.
