Bored to Tears

Recommended Posts

Nothing to do at work today, sense the Holiday is next week. Typical for us this time of year. I would just leave but waiting on a truck delivering equipment. So I'm stuck here. So I figured why not start a thread for those in a similar situation? So I thought..., let's play a game.

 If the starts could align perfectly and two people of your choice were in agreement to battle for real in the octogon? Who would you like to see go at it? Any two people you think would be entertaining at all. Famous, or not. Living or dead. Who is the greatest grudge matches of all time? I'll start with people who seem to be relevant this week.

 Jimmy Clausen vs Johnny Manziel in an epic battle of Pint-sized NFL players. This might be the most production you would ever get out of these two guys?

 Or, how about two God-like Gladiators? Putin Vs. Kim Jong Un! And you could do it lumberjack match style. Have the octogon surrounded by starving NK canines. Just in case one tried to escape the contest prematurely.

 I know....But I am bored to tears.

I know, right?

Did you not see his fights against Velasquez? Carwin? Overeem?... Couture? The day of a one-dimensional fighter being champion in the UFC are over. Brock is an athletic freak and PED creation but one hit and he curls up like a girl.

Yeah, I was agreeing with you. The ballet styles of "Pro Wrestling" will never prepare an athlete for actual competition. He'll finish out his career in the backroom of a bar, arm wrestling drunks for 5$ a match!

    • You're assuming just as well.   Morgan and Canales were hired 3 days apart.  I believe it was partially due to their connections in Seattle.  i believe Tepper wanted some familiarity with his GM and HC.  It is so easy to sit back and arm-chair QB over draft picks.  You don't know what the philosophy was going into the 2024 draft.  I believe Canales and Morgan were drafting for the future.  XL and Brooks point to that philosophy. Name me one GM that is 100% on draft picks.  Just one.  You're not going to find one.    I think year one picks weren't for what can you do for me now but Potential.   XL hasn't lived up to the hype of a 1st rounder.  I think we all can agree on that. However, there still is hope he comes around.  What I believe they saw in him was his speed after the catch.  He needs to get more consistent but when he gets the ball you kind of hold your breath just a second because if he gets free, he's gone.  The Brooks pick was a signing for the future, and no one could have guessed he would re-injure the same ACL.  This makes the pick look bad but Dallas was ready to draft him later that same round.  IMO we'll have to see what happens next season before we can call this a bust. Wallace has improved each season and for a third rounder has done well.  Sanders has shown flashes and considering the pick in the 4th round it wasn't a bad pick.  His sophomore season IMO was a little bit more productive.  Smith-Wade has been a good addition and has played well.  For a 5th round pick to get as much playing time as he has.  Most picks below round 3 should take a couple of years to get up to speed.  He's been a decent player.  Crumedy, no comment We turned Barrett into Jackson.  This was an amazing move and basically got a starting CB for a 7th round pick.  Pretty shrewd if you ask me. Coker, maybe the best Free Agent signing of the 2024 draft class. So, in short, you can't say that the draft was a bust.  It isn't a home run but all but one are still on the team and outside of Brooks have made contributions to wins.  2025 draft class has been much better with almost every pick making contributions this season.  Now take Fitterer's two years and compare them to Morgan and tell me that they have the same philosophy. 
    • He hasn’t led crap, he’s on loaded teams and a piece of the puzzle. And he’s he has improved drastically but it took the ultimate QB whispers in Shanahan and KOC. You put him on this Panther team and he’s back to normal Darnold 
    • Slavin and Jarvis week to week. Florida cheap shots took out our two best players.  I’d start KK so he can beat the brakes off someone.
