So my daughter is ten and she got a cell phone for Christmas. I was against it, but her mother (NOT my wife BTW, just my BM) pretty much goes out of her way to do the opposite of whatever I say. So long story short she has the phone and I'm telling her how I didn't have a cell phone until I was 21 or something like that, and back in my day we had pagers. She asked "what's a pager", and then I tried to explain to her the premise of how a pager works and the concept of pager code. Try expaining that to someone that is growing up in the internet-at-your-fingertips 24/7 and text messaging era. She thought I was crazy.

I'm 29.

I fee like I'm 50.

Thanks honey.

A few years ago I mentioned the movie ET to my son (who is now 18) and he had no idea what I was talking about. I couldn't believe the movie was made 11 years before he was born.

Oh, and my 7 year old darling little girl reminds me on a weekly basis that I look much older than her mom (who is the same age as me) therefore I will die much sooner than her. I am 38 and she acts like I am knocking on deaths door.

      Sorsby and the supplemental draft

      I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.

      I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.

      Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
