I am actually surprised it took this long. This station is right around the corner from me. If you ever listen to WFNZ Sports Radio, it's Jim Celenia is always taking this place up.

Ron Rybacki said he had more gas sales Saturday that he usually does for a weekend, and he said the protesters are the reason.

What's he going to say? "Yea, my sales were down, the protesters have hurt my business. That would be playing to the protesters hands.

I never buy BP or Shell gas anyway, so they have nothing to worry from me.

I'd have lied my ass off before admitting it was BP fuel. Tried the "independent station owner" line.

Not like Shell and Texaco are any better though, in fact, they're probably worse. Thankfully I have a Gate near me.

hard to do with all the green pain and a big BP out front.

saw that on the news last night, my wife goes there sometimes because its full service (wtf is she paying for that?)

she said she was going to give them some business.

Even if it is pointless to not gas up at a BP station, I still wouldn't feel right going there for gas. I don't have a BP around me anyway. But if there is BP at one corner and Shell at the other. I'm going to Shell. Even if it is 10 cents more expensive.

I would just feel dirty gassing up at a BP.

Yea, let's protest small business owners. I'm sure BP would be so hurt if that guy stopped selling their gas. That would show them! What a joke.

Exactly.

But Rybacki’s supporters said protesters are missing the point. BP doesn’t own the gas station at the corner of Randolph Road and N. Sharon Amity – Rybacki does, and boycotting the gas station hurts Rybacki more than it hurts BP.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
