No hurt in signing him to a vet minimum contract and inviting him to camp to see if he can win a job.

Just kick that bitch out of the league.

 

Does he throw the ball at the wrong fan and then causally ask for it back like “oh my bad” only to chuck 10 times harder right back at who he wanted to hit?

Beverly and his entire Bucks team should be immediately banned from the rest of the playoffs.

March for Our Lives was one of the largest protests that ever happened in America.

The March for Our lives protest claims to have had between 1.2m and 2m people across the country protesting against gun violence in the wake of the Parkland school shooting.  

It's quite clearly false to suggest school shootings haven't been protested. 

This was one day event.   Show up, march and leave.  

These protests are a much more involved commitment.  Put your life on hold complete with trespassing and civil disobedience.

It's an election year and these kids or being influenced by disinformation from the likes of Russia and Iran. It's also no coincidence these protests escalated at a Manhattan university the moment Trump's Manhattan trial started. 

I’m not much of a conspiracy guy but this seems to be the only logical conclusion.   

What is going on to make this the flashpoint issue to garner this level of protest on American college campuses?

I understand there are humanitarian concerns but why is this cause the one that has incited the far left?  They are protesting at levels that we didn’t come close to seeing on campus for more pressing issues for liberal Americans.  Where was this support for Ukraine against Putin? Where was this support to defend Roe? Where is this type of protest against guns and school shootings?   I’m boggled at the reason that’s causing American students to pick a known terror organization in Hamas to be the issue they have chosen to hang their hat at this level.  It just doesn’t make much sense.  

Not sure you can sit out an elimination game because you are sick and still be considered a generational player.    

Super interesting thread especially for everyone like myself that was clamoring for a later round WR.   Obviously Brad was aware of these numbers. 

Note:  YPRR is yards per route run.  Basic equation of receiving yards divided by total routes run.

Tampa eliminated. I think their run of excellence is over. Two straight 1st round exits. I can definitely see them missing the playoffs next season. Stamkos gone?
 

Had quite a run. In past 10 years, 6 conference finals including 4 SCF and 2 Stanley Cups? 

And the moment Jeff Blashill sets foot on their bench it’s all over with back to back 1st round exits.

Imagine holding Edmonton’s powerful offense to 13 shots like LA did tonight, but still losing 1-0. No 2-2 series. One sweep, six are 3-1, Vegas up 2-1. 

I hope that I’m not imagining Rob Blake being relieved of his GM duties next week.    

Master Les needs to consult his former padawan on how to do this draft thing.

I simply don't know what the Vikings plan is. They have almost no picks next year. I mean literally they just have a 1 and a 5 next year. That's it. Is this team all in or rebuilding? They let Hunter and Cousins walk, but then made big signings for Greenard. They still have to pay Jefferson. I guess that's how they can recoup picks. Kwesi has been a pretty poor drafter. I wonder how long he survives? 

I think you got to the issue at the bottom.  Kwesi is a really smart guy that should be in a secondary executive role and not the main decision maker.   He’s not the guy.    In hindsight, he probably picked the wrong sport and would’ve been better using his analytics background as a baseball exec.

How many offensive lineman are they going to keep on the roster? You now have invested drat picks in Sorsdal, Manu, and Mahogany. They signed Skipper so that brings the total to 9 and Awosika makes 10. I'm guessing Awosika is cut. Manu is probably inactive most of the season. They really seem to be building nice depth on the offensive line. 

I was thinking the same thing.  Manu is safe based on his draft status.  I know they like Mahogany but he’s a 6th round pick and on good teams these guys have to beat someone to make the roster.  He’s going to have the advantage as they want to keep him but he’s going to have to play close to the level of Awosika for a spot on the roster (barring other injuries).

intriguing for how little experience he seems to have at rb

That was against the 111th ranked defense in the country.  There were high school defenses that were better coached and more fundamentally sound. 

This is my first wtf pick.  

It’s not the player but the value. 

I can’t believe anyone was talking him this early and he’s not worth a 3rd rounder.   Not good use of draft capital and assets.

Don’t like it but still not as bad as using your last pick in the draft on a punter in the 4th round. 

Brad trades up!!!

4th round punter is so Bears.  I was getting a little worried seeing what they were assembling and needed that little reminder of the braintrust they’re working with.  

Terry Fontenot is the NFL’s version of Troy Weaver.

Impressive run for 4th round U as another Duck gets drafted.  Throw up those 0’s and show everyone know how many nattys you’ve won.  

Who doesn’t love a full revamp of the most suspect position on the team.    Replacing UDFA talent like Jacobs & Lucas with 1st and 2nd round players is massive.   

Jamal Charles with the most viral moment of the draft so far

Roger Goodell just shook my hand.

I yelled out “I love you Roger!” And he said “weren’t you the one booing me earlier?”

I read somewhere that Roger Goodell rarely shakes hands.  The only times that he does is with people that he doesn’t like and he touches his junk beforehand.
