Dick Van Dyke is the Porpoise King!

Dick Van Dyke, star of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Mary Poppins, passed out on his surfboard during a trip to the beach. When the 84-year-old Dick (hehe) woke up, he was so far out he couldn’t see land.

The situation got worse when he started paddling with the swells and “I started seeing fins swimming around me and I thought ‘I’m dead!’”

Turns out they were the fins of porpoises that ended up pushing him all the way to shore. Then they swam off leaving behind a rainbow contrail. But not before making Dick their porpoise king.

Does anyone else think this is a story a senile man made up because he got lost coming back from the mall? I’m not saying that’s what this is but if he starts talking about how they high fived him with their flippers then excuse me if I become a little skeptical.

    • I see them using Brooks in the passing game a good bit even early.  
    • If Brooks is fully healed,and they think he is, then we should be better.  We upgraded center and Hunt will be back.   At RB, Rico will turn 28 next month. Hubbard turns 27 next month.  Brooks turns 23 in July.  If Brooks pans out, he was a better college RB than either Rico or Chuba. He has not been taking a beating for 2 years--so if the knee holds, we could have something.   This is what it says about RB: Career Average: Running backs have the shortest average careers in the NFL, lasting just 2.57 years on average. The Peak: Most running backs reach their absolute peak performance around age 25 or 26, with nearly all peak seasons occurring before age 29. The "Age 28-29" Cliff: Statistical data shows a notable 15% to 25% drop in per-game fantasy and offensive production as backs transition from their age-28 to age-29 seasons. Very few running backs sustain elite production past age 30.
    • I’ll give him that. I love his belief in the trenches being where games are decided. Because that is also my belief.  And he is not fooling around he jumps all over a goal. Fix the OL. Well it cost but he fixed it.  And fixed it again this year while still getting pieces for the defense.  He has made a couple of mistakes but just keeps swinging after a miss until he gets something done.
