Madrid

Ah Madrid... definitely some interesting sites there. My fondest memory would have to be getting grabbed by a hooker who resembled an even less attractive Snookie and having to drag her down the street until she eventually let go.

Stayed at Luis XV at Esquina A Gran Via, thats where the hookers are at if you're interested. Of course one of my friends got wasted and got a hooker and they dragged him into a shady building with the meanest looking guy waiting outside. I waited outside just to make sure he didn't get killed...he didn't, just his wallet cleaned out.

This is one of the biggest night life zones with tons of people out, have fun and just explore this area, there are tons of bars and a TGIF Fridays that has free refills (hey, you start to miss free refills), if you get home sick.

I could go on a rant of the famous architecture sites to see, if you are interested, that's what I "studied"

The ride from the airport was really interesting, mainly for the radio. I remember them playing Bon Jovi and even Sweet Home Alabama, they would start the song and then about 20 secs in they would have a conversation over top of it like nothing was on.

Good time, fun place, extremely hot.

Use common sense. Carry smart enough amounts of euro's, have a fully charged cell and don't be the typical American jackass. Latina's love the gringos who can dance and chat them up.

Very hard NOT to have fun in Madrid.

Go the caves and drink your fill of Sangria

"Whiskeria" is the term for brothel

Go to Benidorm this summer (beach)

A pack of "American" cigarettes will cover most cover charges into any club

The night life really gets hopping around 11pm till 4am - so combat nap in the afternoon.

Three people I know very well have been there.

1. My ex gf: She went around 4 years ago and had a bad trip from the start. She was pick pocketed on the rail system and within 1 hour her credit cards were maxed out and ended up losing around $400 in cash.

She said it was a nice place to visit and see the sights but obviously getting robbed on the first day ruined her trip. She was only there a week.

2. A guy I went to HS with went there and had mixed feelings. He, too, was pickpocketed...but caught the guy in action and grabbed the dude and laid him out. He was able to get his stuff back from the guy. No joke. He said it was a cool place but kinda felt like Americans were targeted there, he also told me if I ever go there to wear a chain wallet and don't wear a bunch of graphic t-shirts like a lot of americans wear b/c thats how you are targeted by thieves. This was like 3 years ago. He was there visiting his sister.

3. One of my homeboys went there to study abroad and loved it. He is real artsy and doesn't get fuged up as much as a lot of my friends. He made some friends that he still talks to. He got to go to like Morrocco and Greece while he was there, and also saw a couple Real madrid games. This was like 3 years ago.

    • You're not understanding what I'm saying. I'm saying that truly elite players will always have a market because they're elite difference makers and that at the "devalued positions" the NFL has discovered that those are spots where unless you have an elite talent there you have an opportunity to get similar results out of run of the mill talent for run of the mill money compared to good talent for good money. The drop off in overall unit performance isn't dramatic dropping down from "good" to "JAG" and it saves money to invest in the premium positions. It's about skill sets and what is hardest to find, simple supply and demand. There's just more serviceable LBs and RBs and safeties out there than their are CBs and pass rushers and QBs. And honestly, a big part of our historic lack of consistent success has been investing too many premium draft and cap resources into those devalued positions. Yeah, we've had a lot of great off the ball LBs and RBs on our way to be a franchise with an overall losing record. Pointing to our success at those positions is proving my point because I just point to our W-L record and overall lack of historical quality at premium positions like QB, WR, CB, etc. We've sucked in large part because we've valued the wrong position groups. In a vacuum it doesn't matter. But in actuality every high pick or big chunk of cap you spend on an off the ball LB or RB or IOL is a high pick or big chunk of cap you couldn't spend on a QB or CB or WR or OT.
    • Right before Kuechly retired, we had some of the worst D line play that year.  We were ranked 29th against the run in 2019.   I remember even Kuechly struggled to get off the blocks at times because the linemen were on second level so quickly due to our porous line made up of Kyle Love, Vernon Butler and a washed up Gerald McCoy.   
    • fingers crossed for BlueSky embeds to come with the board update at least all the schedule reveals will be on the youtube
