    I just measured my hands how they do at the combine(tip of thumb to tip of pinky in an outstretched hand) and they measured in between 9 1/2 and 9 3/4(which is right about the average NFL QB size, Pickett was at 8 1/2) My fingers though are relatively short compared to my hand size, I get my size from my palm width. So if they measured my hands they would grade out fine but I dont think palm width is all that beneficial when it comes to holding a football. It seems like a better way to measure qbs is the size from base of hand where it meets the wrist to the tip of the finger.

    Willis already wowing at the combine, yeah he's going to be the first QB off the board.

    Olave runs a 4.26. That probably moves him into top 15, possibly top 10 territory.

    A kid in Junior High got a signed batting glove from Tony and brought it to school, none of us knew who he was at the time so the kid's like "He's the next Cecil Fielder", in our eyes he might as well have said next Mickey Mantle.

    Those Fontes teams were pretty stacked(atleast by Lions standards), you always hear the narrative that it was Barry and nobody else but nothing could be further from the truth. Of course they never had a good QB outside of that one season where Mitchell played really well and they went into Philly and got destroyed.

    Dont know how serious to take it since I'm not sure of the connections he has but Ryan Ermani of Fox 2 said that according to his "connections" Detroit is indeed going to be the choice of the 2024 draft and that an announcement should be coming soon.

    As long as it doesn't prevent you from throwing a good ball I tend to think hand size gets overblown. The conventional thinking is that it is easier to hold onto the ball with bigger hands and that may be true to an extent but when you have a 260lb athlete slapping your arm/ hand at full strength 9 times out of 10 youre going to lose the ball even if you have Andre the Giant hands.

    Speaking of sporting games dragging on, somebody on twitter timed the actual time of the final 1 minute of game time of the MSU/Purdue game on Saturday and it was over 19 minutes. Talk about a sport that drags on.

    I usually have whatever game I'm watching on the TV while spending most of my time on my laptop or phone. There's so much downtime in all sports that I find I end up paying more attention to what I'm doing on the cpu then the game. I never used to be that way until like 10 or so years ago, I blame smartphones for killing my attention span, any time there's a break in the action now Im on Twitter, posting in the game day threads on here or watching something on YouTube.

    If he really was there's a good chance it was the Sr. Adduci's. But even Starsky and Hutch wouldn't be good enough to get to him.

    These prospects spend several weeks pre combine working with trainers that specialize in workouts to maximize their 40 times, so if London has been unable to workout with the same intensity as others his numbers will come across comparably slow so that could be why he isn't participating.

    I don't think people watch much baseball anymore period outside of hardcores or cities that have teams in contention.

    Kiper's latest mock has Jameson Williams falling to I believe 27 or 28. If he's still there at that point I would seriously consider trading up to insure him. It would obviously depend on the price and how the board shakes out(If there are multiple WR you like still available you may just want to take your chances one of them is there at 32/34) but if that's not the case and the price isn't too steep I think it would be wise to do it. Williams is a legit playmaker that can have a major impact on this offense.

    It did take a couple years though if memory serves me right but I do think the numbers being down was more due to Jordan retiring and the Bulls super team dissolving than people leaving due to the lockout.

    Aside from the steroids I think MLB also benefited by the NBA lockout and Jordan's 2nd retirement. NBA ratings and interest took a nosedive after the 98 season due to those two things. Yeah it's true that the NBA only runs directly with MLB for a few months but I think the reasons I mentioned helped keep the fans that got back into baseball from the HR chase.

    Well atleast there's minor league baseball to follow.
  19. RandyMarsh
    Not so much to do with the lockout but I do find it funny that the same writers that for years mocked the teams that signed free agents even though they weren't going to be contenders now complain that those same type teams won't open up the wallet and overpay for FAs. I guess they're just trying to get in the good graces of the players or something.

    The Magic look like they are about to win tonight and it's only been 3 quarters but Markelle Fultz looks like a completely different player in his return and appears to look a lot closer to the player that went number 1. If this new found game of his is legit the Magic could look alot better down the stretch and pass us.
  21. RandyMarsh
    If they got it I was hoping they would be able to do what some other cities did and set up a spot downtown outdoors so you could get the spectacle of all the fans lining the streets.

    I'm sure the owners don't mind missing that first month when outside of Opening Day attendance figures are usually always relatively low. Particularly in all the cold weather cities.

    BTW even though we have the 2nd pick and 2 first rounders for the first time Im just not looking forward to the draft as much as I have the last couple years. Like last year there were a bunch of different scenarios that were possible and excited me. Were we gonna take the top flight pass catcher in Pitts, Chase, Smith or Waddle? Would we take Lance or Fields if they fall, would we trade down and get a bounty if one were to fall, would we go with the top defender(most thought Parsons at this time) or the thing that eventually happened with Sewell. In the previous draft we speculated if we would go Okudah, Brown,Simmons or if we were lucky if we could get bounty from a team that wanted to trade up for Tua. The scenarios this year just don't excite me.
  24. RandyMarsh
    That would be awesome but I'm not gonna get my hopes up. I wonder where in the city they would hold it at if they did pick Detroit? I suppose they could just do Ford Field but for the previous cities it looked like they set up something in the city instead.

    I went through a few of the schools in the district I work for and not counting the special needs kids and teachers who were all still wearing their masks, Id say maybe at most about 10% of the staff and students were masked.
