Since it came up in another thread and it's tangentially related, here's what Lady Cowboy Fan got me for my birthday...

Been wanting this book for a while. She knows me well 🙂

And because she knows me well, she also got me this 😆

You seem like a good ole’ dude and I’m grateful you keep bringing yourself back to this site.

Have you ever read "Blood, Sweat, and Chalk" by Tim Layden? It's an origin story of the modern game's formation and play designs.

"This is one of the most important sports books of our generation-and a lot of fun too. The formations and philosophies that win Super Bowls and national titles are made crystal clear. If you live for fall weekends, this is your book." - Peter King

I'll put it on my list.

Let’s hope he knows more about evaluating NFL personnel than he did about running pizza parlors 

He was 15 years ahead of the curve. That's why that place didn't work out. The food and service were great, but other than Ballantyne Village and Stonecrest, that area was a ghost town on weeknights and weekends back then. Today that place would be packed to the gills with insufferable transplants, rich, old creeps with young wives, and their cougar ex-wives on the prowl.

I know it’s fun to pile on everything Rhule but his drafts have actually been above average and if you take out the Hurney year last years draft class legitimately was a really good one. Save the inexplicable Fletcher pick all of our picks contributed in spite of Rhule. I know we want to be negative all the time but nah this isn’t one I’m letting slide our scouts did a heck of a job once Fitt got here.

It's not so bad. Folks tend to leave you alone.

Snow and I will save a seat for you at the table. 

Not only do people tend to leave you alone, they also tend to not put you in situations that you don't want to be in to begin with.  It has a lot of advantages.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
