WTF!!! :yikes:

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Three friends said they found a shark stuck in a car wash drain in north Charlotte after the heavy rains died down Friday.

According to the three friends, they were walking when someone told them there was a shark at the car wash, so they went to check it out. They said they could smell the shark before they saw it.

"(We were) wondering how in the world a shark ended up at a car wash coming out of the sewer. Everything was flooded though, like the whole park was flooded," one person said.

They said the shark was dead when they found it. No one knows exactly where it came from.

Some areas of Charlotte received as much as 6 inches of rain in the course of a few hours Friday

A pipe from a car wash drain would be too small for a shark to swim through.

Even if it wasn't, that pipe would come from the sanitary sewer line, which means the shark would have had to swim through a wastewater treatment plant, filled with grinders and chemicals.

Before that, the shark would have had to swim through over a hundred miles of freshwater creek. The farthest a shark has been known to go inland in freshwater is 20 miles, I think.

Much more likely that someone caught a shark at the beach and just put it there.

Check it....Bull Sharks can swim hundreds if not thousands of miles through freshwater. They just need to piss more to regulate the difference in salinity.

The shark has traveled 4,000 kilometres (2,500 mi) up the Amazon River to Iquitos in Peru.[10] It also lives in fresh water Lake Nicaragua, and in the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers of West Bengal and Assam in eastern India and adjoining Bangladesh. It can live in water with a high salt content as in St. Lucia Estuary in South Africa.

Unlike most sharks, bull sharks tolerate fresh water and can travel far up rivers. They have even been known to travel as far up as Indiana in the Ohio River and Illinois in the Mississippi River, although there have been few recorded attacks. As a result, they are probably responsible for the majority of near-shore shark attacks, including many attacks attributed to other species.

      Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
