Regardless of anyone’s feelings on CJ and his attitude since his departure, this is a good thing for the organization going forward with regard to player relations.

I blame so much of the current state of America on one man. Dale Earnhardt Jr. This country hasn’t been the same since he retired from NASCAR in 2017. These folks needed something else to care way too much about once he quit racing. They found Trump, Tucker, and hating on some libs and the rest is history. Instead of carburetors and bump drafting, they now presume to be experts on debt ceilings and NATO bylaws. It’s completely exhausting. So much of this could’ve been avoided if Junior was still out there making left turns in his Chevy every Sunday. Damn you Dale Jr. and your shitty original Budweiser sponsor too.

I’m pretty sure these are all contingent on him getting the green light on that $800M taxpayer handout to build District Detroit for real this time. I figure he’ll build one building and pocket the rest to pay for stuff exactly like a new team plane and clubhouse rehab. No way he’s paying for this by himself.

I don’t believe this is correct. He was born into considerable wealth but I don’t think the family was anywhere near to levels to be among the wealthiest in South Africa. I do believe that he fled to avoid military service. That sounds like him. BTW, I’m not a fan. He’s a loonybins egomaniac and probably the closest thing we’ve seen to a real life Bond villain. I do give him credit for making his own money (or at least paper valuation of his stock).

This is true that he was fired by Peter Thiel as CEO. He was still one of the founders of the company and made his first massive windfall of his own money when the company was sold.

I will give him credit that he made his own wealth. He was one of the founders or PayPal and cashed in when it sold to eBay for $1.5B in 2002. He then parlayed that into investing many other Silicon Valley startups as well founding SpaceX and Tesla.

Like the concept of an improved Wet tire. I’ll wait with some skepticism to see if Pirelli can actually construct it and have it work as intended.

He worked out like a mad man in his 20’s. Unfortunately, it was all 12oz curls.

The story is going to be Lions LB Tremaine Edmunds covering Travis Kelce.

ASB is the new Hasselhoff

😀

Easily my least favorite driver. The nice part is I don’t have to hate on him. He just sort of does that all on his own.

I made the mistake of watching part of that catastrophe last night. I’m damaged to the point of not knowing if I can watch another NBA game for a while.

Another casualty of being around Matt Patricia. He was fine with Caldwell and pretty darn good working with Lawrence in Jax. His only swan dive was having to work under The Slob.

The jury is almost back on Holmes and Co. philosophies on drafting and building a football team. We should have a good amount of data after this offseason to make some logical judgements. One observation is they seem to like guys with college production that pop out on the tape even if they may be undersized or just average combine and workout numbers. If faced with a choice of a physical freak with lapses of disappearing in games versus a slower, smaller guy that constantly made plays, they would most likely take the latter.

Timely that this just popped up in the feed.

There’s a part of me that misses the days of 2 4 7 9 20 50 56 62

It appears the remaining Pac-12 presidents have approved SMU and San Diego State for admission. They are also rumored to be interested in UNLV and Tulane to take the conference to 14. Not an ideal moves but they had to do something. Still looks like the bottom rung of the major conferences but maybe Oregon and Washington and Coach Prime can carry them:

You know it’s bad when the GOP Newsletter aka Detroit News is printing it.

I wouldn’t bitch about it. Ben would surely make good use of another weapon. I think at 18, they can find more impactful players that also play positions that are harder to fill. This is very possible.

A life well lived. It sounds like he is with his family and at peace.

We had a pro bowl TE last year and the team was better when he left. Zylstra and Wright proved to be just as effective in the red zone. It’s a deep draft at TE and I can see them taking one on day 3 but don’t think they need to think about it in round 1 or 2. There are better players at more important positions available.

It’s common knowledge among magas that 2FA was created by a Soros controlled company and is being used by a group of liberal Transexual hackers to secretly fund Antifa and MS-13 as well as indoctrinate children with CRT and other anti-American hate. It’s believed that Joe Biden used 2FA to crash the train in Ohio and not blow up China spy balloons in time.

I love how most draft gurus will say it’s best to draft BPA with a small emphasis on current need but 95% of mocks are based solely on current needs. As an aside, anyone trying to rank these CB at the moment is a complete guess pulled straight from their ass. There are 5 or 6 guys that could all emerge as top corner taken. They are all that close right now and it will be determined through combine, workouts, and interviews how they shake out. There’s no consensus yet.
