headed out tuesday at 530am. 20ish hours of flight time across the US and into taiwan en route to bangkok.

among other things i'll be popping into myanmar (burma) briefly, rafting down the mekong and biking in laos, doing some volunteer work in cambodia, exploring southern vietnam, trekking singapore, and spending a week or two in kiribati.

if there's interest in such things ill post occasional pictures and updates... hopefully there will be some interesting ones.

(luckily for me by the time i get back the preseason will be almost underway, so i can skip the anxiety of these summer months. of course i'll now i'll have to check the huddle every day to follow CBA developments...)

Make sure the prostitutes aren't children.

actually a large part of what i'm doing is a human trafficking writeup i've been working on for a long time. unfortunately child prostitution is common in southeast asia. its beyond fugged up. the organization i'm partnering with in cambodia does work with an orphanage as well as a ministry that goes out into the brothels and buys women who've been in the industry since childhood and teaches them to read, write, and learn job skills that'll help them gain employment somewhere other than a fat nasty 70-year-old's bed. its pretty awesome

dont get aids

k

What is this you're doing?

primarily i'm working with the organization mentioned above. doing work on an orphanage, probably building furniture for it, etc. i'm leaving a week early to go through more of southeast asia... documenting as much human rights violations in burma as i can without getting arrested, then fully enjoying myself in laos (the rafting/biking is something i've wanted to do for years.) i've got a week after cambodia before my flight for kiribati leaves from australia, so i'll spend it exploring the mekong delta in vietnam, then singapore, then brunei briefly.

What happens in bangkok....ends up on the Huddle. tell us all about it when you get back.

i wont tell any ladyboy stories if i have them. if i drunkenly cut off my finger i will post pictures.

(this'll be my third time in bangkok though, and i'm only there for six hours before catching a flight to northern thailand, so i doubt i'll actually do anything.)

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
