Rivera should be sued for gross misuse of generational talent like Cam and Luke. 

If DB stays healthy and is able to be back to his old self, he’s going to make a huge difference all by himself. 

I saw that last night and was instantly annoyed. Wished Nia Jax would go flying over the barrier onto him.

I like both nicknames.  If he pans out, it doesn't matter that Tracy McGrady already had that nickname.  LaDainian Tomlinson had the same nickname as one of the goats, and he got away with it.

I never called Tomlinson LT either heh

He said something about Nalo meaning “negative attitudes lose opportunities”. Dunno if it’s also Waimanalo, but I’ve heard him specifically reference the acronym. 

Don’t like Nalo at all, don’t like TMac because that’s Tracy McGrady. I know he doesn’t like it, but Tet is what I wish he’d go by.  So for me it’s just gonna be McMillan.

No, so admittedly my comment is not a fully informed one.  But had the misfortune of experiencing West Lafayette in the winter many years ago and I’m not a winter person. 

My son goes to Purdue. It is indeed very cold there lol.  And as a military brat my son grew up in Hawaii, Australia and Maryland. Big difference.

lol, I can't help but read this and not even think about how that's a nice thing to hear about the new player we just drafted, but see it as a knock on Shedeur

Heh. Wasn’t intended that way, just what I saw. That’s why I hate the “completion % = accuracy” rhetoric. There’s so many other factors that go into whether a ball is caught vs whether it was an accurate throw. 

Overall a B+. I don’t know enough about any of them except Tet to form an educated opinion yet but Tet was my top choice (along with Mason Graham) most of the offseason so I love that pick. The two pass rushers seem solid from what I’ve seen so far, same for the S and Jimmy Horn. I can’t say I love the RB or TE but I’m holding off on judgement until I see more of them. 

Watching videos on Horn, one thing I like is he’s really good at snatching inaccurate passes. Every other throw his way is way behind or high or low or otherwise forcing him to full extend to catch and he seems really good at catching these bad passes and maintaining as much of his stride as possible.

Both not bad eating either 

I bought some roo steak at the grocery store when I lived in Canberra. Maybe I just don’t know how to cook it but it was the worst meat I had ever tried. Ridiculously greasy and gross. 

I’m happy. He was my top choice most of the offseason.

I think they want to trade down, but im not sure it will happen

That’s what I’m thinking. I believe the reports that we’re one of the teams most aggressively wanting to trade down but unless someone is afraid of NO taking Sanders and for some reason wants him, I don’t see it happening. 

Aw hell no. I’m not sure how I’d feel about Carter at 8, never mind trading half a draft to move up for him. 

We need all LBs. I know we have some young guys but I haven’t seen a M/ILB on our team impress me at all yet. 
 

edit: Jewell was ok but he should be the worst guy in the group at his level, not the best.

What are their names??

 

I echo what you said, Ive had German shepherds, husky, doberman, and worked with Belgian Malinois.

 

My American bulldog(3/4bull 1/4 boxer) was the best by far. I had "bouncer" before the interwebz explosion. I'd been a millionaire form him alone, he was non-stop action his whole life. I had a steel fire barrel and he would tackle while burning trash/wood to eat falling ashes. Those empty tide jugs, toss one out in the yard, he would kick it with his front feet, bite, repeat over and over until it was destroyed. You could not light firework out round him..... He would "eat" rain off house sheds. Loved to get his back scratched from a broom. He'd lay on his belly and you take the broom and out form one end of room to other. He lived 15 full years and the last three years became a fart machine to round out his career. Best ever, very loving, knew to protect his land, and I miss him very much!! 

 

Love that story. Jackson is the bulldog, Jericho is the mastiff. Jackson is 11 now, he’s starting to slow down. My only complaint about the breed is how susceptible he’s become to skin and ear infections. It’s a constant battle. He’s clear now after we changed vets, so maybe it was our last vet not treating him properly that was the problem, but his ears and feet were always black and crusty. 
 

He’s definitely a fart machine though lol. One of the things I love most is how he’s equally happy to play and be rowdy or just chill in the living room.

How much a Tibetan Mastiff pup set you back over there? 

Not as much as they used to be, I’ve read not long ago they’d be 15-20k.  These days they’re around 3500-5k

If I ever get a dog this what I want

I’ve had a buncha different dogs, so far the American bulldog is my favorite. The Tibetan mastiff pup is great too but the bulldog is very trainable, loyal, strong, good personality, affectionate, everything I like in a dog. The only thing really so far the TB is behind in is he’s not as easily trainable and not quite as affectionate. 
 

Pic is an 11 year old American bulldog about 110 lbs (Jackson) and as of this pic 11 month old Tibetan mastiff about 100 lbs (Jericho)

Yes the Belgian Malinois, most special dogs around..

 

first dog was Tibetan Mastiff.

 

if you want some dogs, hard to find more loyal, tougher, and smarter than those two..

I was gonna comment that the first dog looks like my Tibetan mastiff, except mines not mean and has the black and brown coloring like a rottie heh.  He’s still growing, only 10 months old in this pic

Not much different tbh. If Graham is there he’s still a good pick. Brown/Brown/Graham in 3-4 looks with Wharton on a frequent rotation.  LDE/Brown/Brown/Graham or LDE/Brown/Graham/D Brown on 4-3 looks.  Clowney can be that LDE for now.  We don’t have much in the way of pass rushers for either set as of now, nor LBs. 

I still see McMillen as a strong option if he’s there, I’d probably rather that than dropping $35mil a year and draft picks on trading for a #1 WR. I like XL, I have faith he’ll develop, but giving him a strong running mate would boost that development (Thielen has been great but he’s not the best complement to XL nor a long term solution.)

Im not crazy about the CBs in this draft. I’d only want Johnson or someone if we trade down quite a bit. 

Still not completely sold on Walker but if they take him I’ll get on board. Same with any of the pass rushers. 

We still need a good Safety but I doubt any are worth a top half 1st rd pick. 2nd round on I hope we take one. 

Very happy about this. He was very solid last year and it’s a very reasonable contract. 

Well so much for Milton. 

Well step one has been achieved

I don’t think sports reporters know the difference between columnists and reporters. Newton, Person, all the “reporters” toss poo against a wall and throw out baseless speculation more often than they actual report anything.

That word might not be the best choice.  A large percentage is opinion and baseless speculation.
