They weren't anything special last season but they were when Russ was there. From my experiences, the Super Dome is more intimidating and impressive 

Yup.  Of all the stadiums, the Super Dome was the loudest/ most intimidating.  Reminds of a huge college game.

Atlanta.

Between Vick and Ryan, they have been pretty good vs us long term...with Cam, we normally had their number, or at least it seemed that way.

And I hate that city, so Atlanta.  I like NO and Tampa too much to hate on them.

I'm kind of surprised we're not in the TB yet, to be honest =P

My problem with the AR-15 is less the gun and more the ammo.  The bullets do TREMENDOUS amounts of internal damage.  I mean, the base of the AR-15 and the  M-16 (Source: https://special-ops.org/whats-the-difference-between-an-ar15-m4-and-m16/#:~:text=The distinction between an AR,military in close-quarters combat) are similar in nature, and both fire the same ammunition.  This is not a weapon made for civilians, it was made for combat and the ammo was designed for war, not self-defense.

So fine, people wants their "cool" looking AR-15s and other tacti-cool gear for Insurgency Cos-Play, hog hunting or scaring people with whom they have a disagreement.  My biggest problem is the actual wounds caused by the weapon are much worse than other firearms.

Time after time, when the super popular AR-15 is used in a violent attack, there is always a medical professional who is saying that the wounds are just worse. 

https://abc7.com/why-ar15-semi-automatic-weapons-dangerous/13051721/

That is the MUCH larger issue.  While the 2nd amendment says, and has been interpreted, as buy as much guns as you want - there is nothing about limiting the ammunition.  Or is there a way to redesign the round so that ammo sold to civilians would be more of a straight shot through a target as opposed to the devastating wound pattern the military round causes?

I've fired some higher powered, long rifles before.  There is a certain cool "this thing is powerful" feeling.  I get that.  You feel it from your tingly bits on up.  The dopamine rush is real.  Last time I did, I was at an outdoor "not strictly regulated" range.  There were some bowling pins we could set up, and being able to see those things hit and fly was cool as crap.  I think for many people, that's where the fantasy ends.  Like you can shoot a bunch of random stuff, and it's cool and all; but then you have to ask yourself the hard question: what happens if I shoot a living creature or a person with this weapon?

Hopefully I won't get this thread tossed in the TB, but while I respect people who collect cool and antique firearms, or those who responsibly own guns; I do think there is more that can be done to protect the greater public from the people who want to abuse the good behavior of the larger population.

This is untrue.  While you may try to say that the .223 does more internal damage than a .38 or 9mm...that would be true, but that's comparing apples to bus tires.

The .223 is a rather wimpy rifle cartridge to be honest.  It's a popular round because it's accurate, cheap, easy to shoot, and can be found anywhere.  However, I wouldn't even use one to deer hunt, and I live in the Eastern part of NC, where the deer are much smaller.

As to the OP, no I do not collect, but I do have some that are tools.

couldn't make it 3 seconds. probably just not enough coffee yet to handle it. but would there be enough?

No.

Moton deserves to be on the list, and Beason should find a home there as well...otherwise, pretty damn good.

Safety makes me want to throw something.

Good for him, would be a very cool thing to go through.

It's also worth noting that even CMC said he had never seen coaching like he got when he arrived in SF and pretty much everyone can agree CMC did not have issues with processing. 

I thought Gase was bad until Rhule handed him his beer. I truly have no idea what Sam can be as a QB. Wish him the best because he's certainly had some of the worst and still carried himself with respect. 

Well at least until he's playing us. 

What's incredible, is that CMC said that....and he went to Stanford and they run a very "pro" program.  Meaning, Shanny is either a God Coach, or most everyone else is simply not very good at their jobs.

I sincerely hope he resurrects his career, and I'm damn happy that Shanny is giving him a chance to do so.

That guy had Gase and Rhule as HC's as a very unpolished QB with incredible athleticism and a great arm....I mean, just how bad of a situation is that to be in if you started like 12 college games.

Dude never even complained one time.  Gotta respect that....even if he was a mess for us.

I'm assuming he still will be with the initial roster drops...way too prematurely.

However, I expect you will hear a lot of coach speak surrounding and during training camp.  Will sound a lot like this.

"Andy had a jump on the playbook, and is a 10 year starter, he doesn't need the reps."

Did he bulk up to 6'3" from some other height?

I'd love to bulk up to 6'3"

Haha, not me brother.  At least I don't think so...had to fly a lot back in the day, man being somewhat tall is an issue, being over 6'3 would be downright painful.

Doubful. Oktoberfest is typically late September... and maybe the first week of October, depending on timing.

Our game is likely in November 2024.

Well crap, I didn't look at the scheduling.  Also, gonna be getting a little frosty up there by then.

Either way, if anyone ever gets to go to one, please do so.  You will have FANS!!

I went to Rosenheim's, and had an absolute ball.

I'll be there.  And like others said London is great, but Munich is awesome.

Depending on timing, may be able to hit one of the smaller Oktoberfest's out in the countryside...very cool in the smaller towns.

I enjoyed London enough to go back...Paris...no way.  Hard pass.

Based on talent a guy like Lamar Latham, or Peppers should be at the top and Luke should not even be on the list.

Mark Fields was more physically talented than Luke ever was but Fields wasn't half the player Luke was.  It's hard to make a list like that.

I cannot disagree more on the Luke thing.  You need to go back and look at his athletic profile coming out.

He was a complete freak show.

Talent...tough thing to describe exactly.  

Pep

Cam

CMC

Luke

Then it gets murky for me...Reggie for sure, but he time here was short.  TD, Smitty, etc...

10 win season.  Make a little noise in the 1st.

Don't we all?

Good show by him.  It's exactly what I would have done.  5th rounder isn't guaranteed anything, get in there, and start putting your best foot forward as early as possible.

Make yourself unfireable.

Strangely, a mix of Star and KK.

If he can stay healthy, I think he will be extended.  Good to very good player, and DT/DE is just too hard to come by not to keep him around.

If she’s the bullshit/ego detector, gotta wonder what she thought of Rhule back in 2020 lol. If you’re with someone long enough, you’re each gonna have some “i told you so” moments and my god would it be hilarious if Rhule was one of those for Nicole and Dave.

 

Nicole: “hey Dave, remember when you forked out a historical 7 year contract for a used car salesman “culture builder” that I told you was full of poo?

 

*Tepper touches his brass balls to self soothe* 

Oh Boy, those are few and far between in my house, but man...they sting.

Why wait 5 minutes?  Hell the draft already drags on to minute.  Geez the nfl is so stupid 

IIRC, the NFL got pretty pissed when the Texans told the world they were taking Mario out of NCSU...at least I think that's the one that got them pissed off.

They just need drama and clicks....it's a media/entertainment operation after all.

Great article.  Thank you sir.

Heartbreaking.

RIP, and prayers for the family.

the longer you do that job, the more enemies you gradually make.  eventually, the enemies outnumber the allies.  I am guessing that is where we are now.  I have no problems with Goodell.

Same.  And the Owners have VERY little reason to have a problem with him.

Just a paid spokesman, nothing more.

5 tech?  Haven't paid much attention today.

Settle down, have the life football never allowed you, have a couple kids, enjoy being a Dad....then come coach.

If I were sitting across the table at Waffle House with him.
