We are the main course at a Saints pep rally

I feel like I am rooting for the Shamrocks to beat the Globetrotters.

He should be fired up---instead, he is pissing his pants. I guess I have seen enough--he has not completed a pass, has he? (to Saints does not count)

Remember, folks, this is our first preseason game.

Hungry players pick off that TD pass.

Bryce drove a dagger through their heart on the first play.

They are cutting back and the OLB is not closing down and holding the edge..Not sure why that is difficult.

Tuttle , DJ, Shaq T--all sucking.

Last year, I think Bryce's first pass was over the middle picked off

he smiled when teammated consoled him. Can we score 10 points? Is this game over early in the first quarter?

Call me crazy, but I really like those Dr. Pepper commercials.

Just got off the phone with my brother-in-law, a chiropractor in Columbus and Ohio State graduate. The Michigan loss proves they cheated last year (signal stealing). He might be biased, but he might be right.

You are right--they got the Rams second rounder. Pull against the Rams for 2025

QB was supposed to be this draft's weakness, but by the end of the season, It could be deep. That is good for us because I think we are missing a second round pick, so we can't move up easily if we were to need a QB. Ewers, Beck, Sanders are possibly top 5 picks, but there are about 5 more who could join them in the top 10 by the end of the season.

since you brought it up, Bryce Young sucks!!! Tepper sucks!!!! The Topcats.... (just kidding--pulling for him)

THIS MEANS "YES!!!!!"

Ask the Old Guy: Richie from Richfield: Dear Old guy, Why are you so smart and good looking? Do you think the Panthers will punt much this year? Old Guy: Dear Richie, a real person I do not know, by the way. Thanks. I have information that may disappoint you, but the Panthers will punt this year, several times a game. I can do without.

Our third and fourth rounders could prove to be the strength of this draft. Hope not-but if our first two picks reach their potential, it could be the first layer of the foundation. And the best running back in college football--of course, if you defend the 3 WRs and focus on Brooks, his success could have been because he was not the first, second, third, or fourth concern. We shall see.

"New Norm" is oxymoronic.

I think Moton is a safe bet for a front-loaded, mostly guaranteed 4-year extension beginning in 2025. They have to get him down in the $25m range, and I think he would accept the security and longer term--who knows? Agents gotta agent, but if you compare his stats to peers, he is not pro bowling-he is an above average RT.

So you get better right before the season--no OTAs, no camp, no preseason. Didn't Brett Favre do that with the Jets and Vikings? Nice to have you back.

I am really interested to see how they use XL. I am nervous about this pick....We still will eventually get RB Brooks, OLB Wonnum, and CB Jackson back one day. I also think that TE Sanders will be the starting TE very soon (of course he will until Ian Thomas and Tommy Tremble return....I guessed that BC would be backing up Moton on the right side, however, it looks as though he is the backup center. Curious, because Raym looked pretty good in preseason. I have a feeling that situation is fluid....I think Horn and the Dane and Mike Jackson are safe as outside CBs. Hill and Smith-Wade (I am not sure where Smith-Wade will end up) are manning the nickel position. I think they need a fourth outside CB and a big nickel, so at least two of the the three acquired CBs have a shot at a long-term roster spot. The bottom of the roster is going to be fluid, and week 4 we will see a lot of movement. In my view, the bottom of the roster is how you start the turnaround process. We are playing for 2025, in my mind. I see 5 wins if this is what we are going with--6 or 7 if XL catches on.

I think they like to have cap room to sign free agents if there are injuries--I dunno. I know we were 4 million over--I understand Moton because he is steady and can play 4 more years pretty easily, but TUTTLE? he did not have a good season last year, but we can hope for a better performance now, I suppose. He is buddies with Brown, so maybe that will rub off.

I doubt he gets $35m and walks. We will spread that $35m over the next 3-4 seasons, keeping his salary around $30m, is my guess.
