Matt in KC

The poor guy sounds like he has PTSD / depression. I hope he's seeing a professional to help him work through it... (preferably someone who lives close).

Yup. ------------------ I think choosing Mario Williams would make sense from an outside perspective, like her parents helping her pick. But she'd be much better off chooseing Fred Jackson or Stevie. She's on the show because she's overweight and feels picked on. I hope she doesn't screw it up and choose Tom Brady, though it would be pretty funny for him to be compelled to come be nice t okids in western NY. And he was hilarious in that lip-reading video. The kids would love him!

That was hilarious!

She's 16, so I don't think she'd need to worry about him in that way.

Yeah, I've finally come to terms with McGee's demise. He was one of our best CBs early in the year even though he never got up to full speed. I think he's my favorite Bill from the last 15-20 years, a natural playmaker when healthy.

My wife was watching Biggest Loser last night (a week behind, I think) and they had a football-themed contest with Antonio Gates. They indicated the winner would get $5000 for their school's athletic program and could have any NFL player they wanted visit their school to lead a "Play 60" session of some type. "Sunny", a 16 year old from Rochester won. I Googled her and figured out she attends Pittsford's Sutherland High School (where I would have gone if I didn't attend private school). Do you think they can really have any NFL player come? That must be through the NFLPA, right? Who do you think she'll pick? (It has to be a Bill, right?) Who would you pick?

That sure makes it sound like he wants to go somewhere else. While it's all funny money to me, I'd hope they offer him $3-3.5 M / year and tell him he'll get an honest shot to compete for the CB position. If he's the best, he'll start.

I know I not supposed to reply to other posters' posts, but this one does a better job of articulating my views than I have time to type. I can't believe people don't see how offensive this is, or if they do see, don't care. They should just pick a different name. Yes, I'm part native american (but don't identify myself as such), but I'd be offended if any group was singled out like this.

I think this is the best chance Reed has had yet. I think he gets in this year.

He'd be so far away up in the press box, no one would know.

That makes sense. I didn't catch that Hackett hadn't been announced yet, frankly. I've just looked for the last day and seen nothing other than Mort's tweet referenced, then eventually other people saying "multiple sources indicate" for the Pettine hire.

Still not a done deal?

What do positive vs. negative numbers mean? Does this above or below average compared to others at the same position? Thanks for posting this!

3.5

And, he brought in coaches today that likely can provide insight regarding our offensive players.

Welcome to the team, Jim. Now get on the phone and start kissing Jairus's ass!

Can't we update the thread title to at least spell his name right? (Petine --> Pettine)

Maybe we'll run a new innovative 3.5 - 3.5 - 4 base defense. . . . I'm excited!

May we'll run a new innovative 3.5 - 3.5- 4. . . .

Gl4D 70 h3Lp, 8R0. Writing like that makes it hard/impossible for search for words. I would have used that in high school if I thought my parents might ever be able to search my messages. As it was, I just called my friends....

It is leet. Read the Wiki article here for more info.

I think the ongoing Kirk vs. Picard debate belongs somewhere in the Cliff Notes guide to TBD lore....

Any number of running jokes from ieatcrayonz... Who is R. Rich? Years ago I used to really enjoy seeing R. Rich post in threads a simple "You shouldn't hate" when someone used the word .. (submission in silent thread) The Lauvale Sape Fan Club (always cracked me up)
