Ouch. I feel like that is a reach. Hopefully a trade down first.

I had to make he tough decision to turn off salary cap years ago, because it would never properly calculate or I was doing something that wasn't showing up on my books. It would eventually break the game completely a few years in. It angers me so much how poor the game is. Basic stuff is just a chore. I spent last night bitching about how my guys were always rules out of bounds when getting 3 steps and toe dragging. I played The Show (baseball game) once and was blown away how much better it is. EA having a monopoly over NFL licenses has ruined the genre.

As much as I hate what Madden has become, and it is tough for me to play it, hearing Greg's voice consistently brings my blood pressure down. So happy he is finding success.

Sounds like Jalon to me?

Hadn't considered that angle. Good to do our due diligence anyway.

Yeah. I figured you had Moore and not Moose since he was closer in recent memory.

Moose?

I can't get that video of him saying he doesn't watch football and/or film of himself out of my head. That doesn't say "dawg" to me.

I know this is probably an unpopular opinion, but this is a pick that scares me.

That's a lotta hate lol

He has interest elsewhere, so I doubt league min would do it. Unless he just really buys into what we are doing here, but he has to know he isn't irreplaceable going forward. I would think he would just use us as leverage. Hopefully we are doing him a solid and helping with that. I doubt we see him back here under the circumstances. Let's test drive someone else.

Agreed.

I can't argue with that, but I also don't separate the two. I never have been able to separate the artist from the art. Morals and what not.

No thank you. I value our good guys culture.

Steve just keeps losing points with me over the years unfortunately. I know it is probably an unpopular opinion around here, but I don't mind taking heat for my opinions.

People have told me that I sound overly Southern anytime I talk to my grandmother. I never noticed it until they said something. I feel like it is kinda like that. I could definitely "turn that up" once I was aware of it, and I feel that is all he is doing, he is just profiting from it.

Yeah. Seems like the machine is designed like a volcano. Reese's must be coming out with something we haven't seen.

I saw it on the screen of the machine once you confirmed that. I just had no idea what it had to do with Reese's. Still don't, but it seems like the machine is designed like a volcano.

I totally agree. Hopefully he is able to balance both.

That's what we heard too...just didn't make sense to me, haha.

People pick up their own accents...and XL is definitely playing into this thing. It's a smart move. I don't want to DOS myself, by my wife was very prominent in that area for a while, and she has no idea what he is saying a lot of times. Anyone skilled in social interactions can "code switch" as they say. Let him have his fun.

What the hell did he just say?

Sanders is only getting a little over a million to play for them. Just speculating, but maybe we didn't want him or he didn't want us, and his market wasn't what he expected. Playing for the Cowboys is more historically prestigious than playing for Carolina. Lot of factors to be considered here. We will probably never know.

Where's the guy who was hating on me calling me the punter police? "Martin has been a reliable punter, earning a PFF punting grade above 65.0 in each of the past five seasons. He should be an upgrade over Johnny Hekker, who posted PFF punting grades of 60.2 in 2023 and 53.3 in 2024." Lol. Not gonna fight about it, just funny to me.

It was a question brother. I care very little about punters. Average punt distance was all I googled. I guess I could have typed more words to convey it. I would have, had I known you would get so bothered by it. I believe the disconnect is how defensive you are. "Worse stats?" was in essence asking what you were referring to. I'll go away now.
