Condi Rice is going to war to get the candidate she wants and they'll probably just bomb out in the end after feeling cheated and lied too.

As a pro wrestling fan I remember when this happened on WWE Monday Night Raw. All of a sudden Lawler passed out and was gone from the broadcast. Michael Cole, the other announcer, was suddenly alone announcing what happened to Lawler. WWE continued their show, as they shamefully did when Owen Hart fell to his death at a PPV event. Lawler didn't die but his situation as extremely serious.

Really disappointed to see Minnesota sit the bed today. They haven't given up a 100 yards rushing all year . . . Until today when we needed them to show up. -

We allow mobile QBs to get out of containment frequently. We suck against mobile QBs, but suck worse against the run period. -

Isn't great QB play what really separates Buffalo, KC, and Philly? If you put Goff on either of those 3 teams are they still in the elite class of the NFL? And doesn't that then make the case that if you want to be elite like those teams are that you have to move on from Goff? I'm not saying I want to move on from Goff, just that it's basically one player at one position that separates those 3 teams from the rest of the league. -
Janis Joplin and Amy Winehouse are two artists whose music I love. Many people love them on their voices alone. They sold many millions records and made lots of money on their incredible voices. While both Amy and Janis were weird and eccentric in their own ways and tried at different points in their career to push the envelope and be a bit provocative, I don't know that eithers career was built around the idea that the more pretend provocative they were, the more money they would make. I could be wrong about that, but it felt like their careers and success were more centered around the music they sang and less about some persona they had carefully developed, in concert with a record label and professional brand and marketing team. Lady Gaga is different because she wants her fans, or Little Monsters as created by her marketing team, to believe that she really is so eccentric and different than you and I are. That she likes wearing dresses made of meat and hatching out of egg shells. She also wants you to believe that she's Woodie Guthrie, and a huge advocate for change for the LGBTQ community and other causes. If LGTBQ individuals feels she is and want to look upon her as such an icon, then that is their right to do so and I hope they find happiness and peace in doing so. In my view though, she has developed a wrestling-like gimmick, no different than Stone Cold Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, or the Undertaker. Sure, there may be parts of that gimmick that are who she really is, but I doubt that most of her life is actually like the gimmick on stage that she and her marketing team have carefully crafted. With a gimmick or character crafted by a marketing team, it her career becomes less about just being a good pop singer, out to produce quality music and sell records and more about getting you to tune in or buy records because she might do something even more strange and eccentric next time you see her. I like a band previously mentioned here, and that is KISS. I enjoy the music and stage presence of KISS. Sure, there was a period of time where KISS wouldn't appear in public without makeup on to keep up the gimmick. But even then, did most fans in the KISS Army actually think Gene Simmons or Paul Stanley went around spitting blood and fire all the time? Gaga and her marketing crew want you to think she really does like being and acting that way, that she was born this way. When by all accounts, the lady behind the gimmick was a reasonably normal person growing up who created a character, unauthentic to who she really is, and then made millions of dollars off of it.

I think her voice is good enough, but I'm not blown away by it. I also refuse to believe the stories from her and her marketing team that she was too weird and eccentric to fit in high school and that she was always a social outcast. I think that was a construct to try and market her as eccentric later in life. Just as I don't believe she likes dressing in dresses made of eggs over easy and hatching or wearing one made out of chuck roast and ny strip steak. She's just trying to be a more eccentric version of Madonna because her and her marketing team thinks that's what will sell records. She's probably wearing sketchers and dockers while laughing at all the "Little Monsters" who thinks she's this weird idol.

Damn, Tommy Prine, son of the late John Prine, put out one helluva song.

Believe me, I don't want a TE in any of the first 3 rounds and I'll go nuclear if they waste a 1st round selection on the position. It's just that there are people in this organization, like Director of College Scouting Dave Sears and Director of Player Personnel Lance Newmark, who have been consistent figures in the organization when they have drafted 1st round TEs in the past. I'm not saying it was Newmark or Sears advocating for Pettigrew, Ebron or Hock, they just happened to be here when those picks were made. -

It depends on their philosophy and how they want to build this team. I hate to say it, but Tight End is an option too. Someone like Michael Mayer TE/Notre Dame, Darnell Washington TE/Georgia or Dalton Kincaid/TE Utah become options as well. We know this organization, more than any other over the past decade plus, loves 1st round TEs.
