I'm watching Avatar Thursday on dvd

I've had that movie in crystal clear quality for 4 months now (on dvd) I have my sources or I could make them myself (not saying I do or don't, but I am not gonna get locked up for pirated dvds) idk if you seen the movie or not but its a damn good movie. It sucks that the draft is on Thursday I have to work til midnight

I've already told my wife we couldn't make any plans (like working on the Nursery) for Thursday night through Saturday evening...

My wife is 38wks pregnant. I told her this weeks not a good week for me with the schedule coming out tonight and the draft thurs fri n sat, so she'll have to wait till next week to have my boy.

hahaha Damn right!

Ours is due August 30th...

I told her she better hope she doesn't go into labor when the Panthers are on, or else she'd better be ready to call my mom to come pick her up...

At least you have your priorities straight.

Make the NFL put it back on Saturday where it belongs.

I usually agree with Squirrel but this draft setup is perfect for me this year. Nothing to do on thursday night and a basketball tourny all saturday and most of sunday. Regardless of where we pick, I'm always intrested in the draft and never miss it, so this works out great for me.

BTW, I believe this is the thing i've been in favor of Goodell doing. Unless Worthlessburger is suspended, then that will be 2 things.

...people will bitch about anything i guess.

partying and listening to Mel Kiper every 35 seconds never really worked out for me to well so I really don't get the whole draft party deal anyway.

Thursday night is fine. When they move it to NFL network or sell it PPV in a few years is when I will get pisst though.....

Think Monday Night Football

I remember several saying it would not work and to leave all games on SUNDAY so they could watch and party !

How many seasons has Monday Night Football been on now ?

And how many sick days are used on account of that? Personally if helps the sport I really don't care when its held.

    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
