  1. I was going to say the exact same thing - I remember the piece being passed up to the owners box - then when they tossed the other piece over the side I was like holy crap someone's going to get killed. That video is awesome though - really captures the excitement that day. Kudos to that dude in the yellow too who single-handedly got up on the GP then over on the side to jump up and down to start the process of bringing it down.
  2. Surprised Greggo doesnt blow an air horn in their ears while they're doing it
  3. I want to see an old fashioned Hogboy-style spearing contest
  4. Sounds like the start of a revolution
  5. Havent gone thru this whole thread, not sure if its been mentioned Shady's notable absence from the presumed "leadership council" last week. In hindsight that was telling. BTW, perhaps this thread should be locked at 25 pages as a last homage to Shady
  6. At least Cole Beasley wont be subjected to Shady's bullyung about his height anymore
  7. Oh I missed that - that would actually make sense
  8. I really don't get it. When I went to camp he was by far the worst WR on the field (and that doesn't even take into account the ridiculous custom tailored short shorts he was wearing - honestly looked like an idiot). Have to assume it's people suffering from Brandon Reilly syndrome
  9. Pretty much every year i'm at the beach for final cuts, and can remember the circumstannces of finding out about all the biggest surprises through the years. I still vividly recall sitting on my hotel balcony when the news broke that Henry Jones was cut (!)
  10. This is my son's McAdoo jersey
  11. Beane didnt get a pick for him? WTF
  12. Bet Josh is bummed today - Teller was one of his good buddies on the team
  13. And troughs to pee in Edit: And/or sinks
  14. I wonder if he considered taking "leave of absence", taking a year or two off to get his head and body straight then reassess once healthy. Guess he can always come out of retirement, but wanting to walk away from the game completely shows where his head is at now
  15. Love they seem to be working on getting the snap off before bordeeline plays might be reviewed
  16. I don't see Alabama in the original list?
  17. What is that one popular Buffalo bar in Charlotte? My son is heading down now for the game Tavern on the Tracks - is that it?
  18. Worst game ever - worst live sports experience I've ever had. What Roscoe did that day muffing the game away was a felony - but everyone responsible for that putrid "game" should have been put in jail.
  19. Thanks for the updates. Curious - how is the fan access like there, are you able to get close to the action? Have you been to SJF - curious how it compared.
  20. I heard that Sir Purr and Billy Buffalo had an illicit affair which resulted in a rare Panthallo breed bastard. They shunned and rejected the obnoxious bastard, but not before they named it Train Horn.
  21. 1. This year I realized that Sutherland is a little quicker - one thing is that it turns onto the street midway through downtown - while the Mendon bus has to go the full length and has more delay b/c of that 2. Last Wed someone had the bright idea of bringing like 40 small kids from a YMCA camp and sticking them right behind me. I thought they were going to explode. Forgot how annoying groups of little kids can be (see 4). After 20 mins the counselors finally realized the futility of having them there and thankfully they left. I think even Britt and Grandma Allen were annoyed. 3. I still like to go and see things/players up close. It helps that I've scored passes to the Entitled Area the last couple years. Can def say after going to SJF for 2 days then to the stadium practice (the last couple years) - the stadium practice is much more of a snoozefest. I do wish there was closer access at SJF - last year spoke to a guy who works every camp and he basically said McD really is focused on the actual football part of camp, and fan experience is really not high on his list of concerns (to put it mildly) 4. Truer words were never spoken
  22. The situations I was referring to weren't what you are describing - free shots from Offside etc. They were dead plays where they whistled the play dead for sacks etc. - or plays that were completely blown up. There were a lot of those plays/whistles (the defense being dominant), and from being there and seeing Josh multiple times just throw up brutal passes in those situations, it really didn't come off at all as a positive play
  23. I mentioned on the board from the two practices I went to at SJF last week - there were multiple times where the play was whistled dead or completely blown up and Allen just threw the ball up like "screw it". The interceptions in that scenario were bogus - but still I didn't feel like that was a great habit to get into honestly. I also went Friday - my impression with Josh from viewing those three practices was there was good and bad - but also that he didn't look particularly sharp overall - inconsistent to be sure. I'm not worried yet - it's still early and there is time for things to come together. I'm most interested to see how things go in the preseason against other defenses - in situations where real drives are trying to be put together. I agree it is ridiculous to keep stats in the practice situations. It is interesting to go live and compare to what other people report. There were some things even Astro reported (opinion wise) that I didn't necessarily see for the practices I went to. But that is why even for real games, which everyone sees the same broadcast, there still are disagreements between people on how different players performed.
