I can see worrying about the Saints at 8. Would he truly fall to 15?

I agree with addressing stuff like that in a 1st class manner. How bad could the travel be though? Are they not chartering?

I was saying something similar. The drafted guys take time to develop. Unless you have a shot at someone like Julius Peppers, you are going to have to wait. Not exactly the same thing but for instance we got Charles Johnson in the 3rd, took him at least until his third season to start making difference. So get a guy that is ready now short term. A prove it year for an established edge would be ideal. Let him prove it, say thanks, let someone else pay him. Pad the position with another developmental guy later.

I have the same thoughts about RB/OL. What did we pay Rico? Not much. I know you saw the size of some of those holes when he was going off. You can get 90% of the way to HOF level RB for probably a third of the money. Put that behind a well built OL and watch him work. I would trade that out of that pick in a minute.

Yes. Might even have enough left for a C.

When they structure these deals this way, they have to know what the real deal is. For him, two year deal.

I would say that yeah the high scores are for the most important things. The hardest things to get right.

All I really know is I am about out on Wallace, he can stay as a backup. I miss the days of AJ Klein being being able to go elsewhere and start, but was a backup here.

He did a nice job for us. Sorry to lose him. Cue the O’Jays

It seems weird to do that but one of my favorite drafts was Star and Short. Morgan double dipped in FA with the guards. Attack that poo Dan. Realistically, a quality vet FA that is totally up to speed, like Lloyd, and a young sidekick is probably a better plan but I wouldn’t complain if we drafted two.

Not being a soccer fan, I wouldn’t miss them. But yeah I thought I remembered it. That is tacky, treating your own NFL team like 2nd class to a visiting soccer team.

We should get two. Live a little.

Yeah it is the concerts. Didn’t he put grass in for some big dog soccer players and then take it right back out? That would piss me off if I were on the football team.

4:30 am until 9-9:30 pm I think he said. That’s his day. Every day. You can see it on his face, They ribbed him about not blinking. He owned it.

Works for me. You can use BOA for big stuff in the summer and spring, where you have time to rehab your grass field. If I had that guy’s money I would want my ball team to have the best of everything so players would want to come here, even in a down year. And I would have the best visitors facilities as well, to make sure that the rest of the league knew how I rolled. You come into this place to play the Panthers, you leave impressed. I mean, you go back home and our visitor locker rooms are better than your home stadium? That will make an impression.

Good lord they are spoiled. Locker room is a D? Okay D+. Somw nice high marks though, mostly. Fix the field Tepper.

Lol at least it didn’t go Maury Povich ‘you are not the father’ heh. I am done.

Lol. I am way out of the market and basically an old man by now. Finally did settle down with a girl I had dated off and on for 17 years and remained friends with the whole time. Not my typical scenario lol. She passed unexpectedly a few years ago and I am permanently retired from the romantic relationship biz. Had my one while it lasted and have had enough crazy female poo lol. Texas though, I wouldn’t take points off for that.

Schoen probably did take advantage of Dan being green. But I don’t know what anyone was gonna get for Burns with the leverage Fitterer gave him for negotiations to be paid, and people knowing we weren’t going to pay him. We were at a disadvantage there to begin with, by that time. Obviously turning down 2 1sts was fuging ignorance. It was maybe a bigger complaint from me about how the returns were used. The XL trade was pretty small potatoes to move up wasn’t it?

He is tearing it up. I want to look closer at Anthony Hill Jr.

We used to say, “that don’t make her no bad girl”.

I hear that. Different makes the world go round. I was something of a playboy in my child fathering years. Travelled a lot and had a girl in every port. I am kind of the opposite from you I did not want to settle down and marry. I told a couple of the really good girls I was socializing with to find someone else I wasn’t what they were hoping I was lol and they wouldn’t be happy. They were good and deserved better. I stuck with the ones that deserved me lol. I would have gotten along well with your exes whole family. Same line of work as the grandmother.

Both those were deals with people he knew socially as well as having worked with them. If you are grousing about the price or the return, that isn’t my point. That is a different thing. I am talking people you don’t really know all that well and maybe haven’t dealt with, and in this context: If they ask about a player and you are known as trustworthy, it is an asset. They will take your word for something and know you aren’t bullshitting them.

It is all personal taste but I find Upton to be very top heavy. That is fun a plenty but will not age well. If you are doing long term. edit: damn Basbear, I had not seen your post. They are both top heavy lol. Top heavy is the phrase of the day I guess.

Smart man. I wish I had been that smart. As far as marriage, that paper, if you want children you should marry but that’s it. There is no other good reason to do it.
