The weight stuff was/is overblown. The real issue is and always will be avoiding the car crashes, b/c your weight is pretty much meaningless in those situations. You'll break if your 190 or 250. Hence my obsession w/ exposing him to a slide coach that boarders on zealotry. Lamar is pretty great at not getting hit by nuclear bombs, he can afford to give up a few pounds. JD will need to be adept at this as well. We will see if he is at the NFL level Lamar was 216lbs at the combine. Was 230lbs 2 years ago, before getting down to 215lbs last year and 205lbs now. Crazy ability to reshape his body and remain athletic.

2024 Baltimore Orioles: New Owner, New Hope
abdcskins replied to DCSaints_fan's topic in The Tailgate
Williams is a solid pitcher, and the Nats bullpen did their job. I expect Bradish to twirl a gem tomorrow though. All my previous predictions in this thread have been on point, save that one game against the Yankees where Gil pitched magnificently. He pitched well tonight too. Astros are so washed it is silly. -
Yall really thought a dude that drives a Doritos shaped ev would be great at off-roading? This looks like the bod of 4x4 prowess? Edit: or wait…. Do yall think any f150 can just roll up on some sand without any preparation and not get stuck? Let me introduce you to Corolla Beach Idiots https://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057491767631

Here is an interesting take... Lamar Jackson said he dropped his weight to 205lbs.. same weight he was 2 years ago when he won the MVP...thats not that much heavier than JD. Makes me feel better about JDs weight now. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/lamar-jackson-says-hes-dropped-his-weight-to-205

Actually, it was designed thirtyish years before minecraft. Curtis Brubaker, Oct. 1978 Penthouse Magazine: Anything seem familiar? I guess Musk really did read the articles... edit: It just occurred to me that of all the 1970's magazines that predicted what 2020 would be like, e.g. Popular Mechanics, turns out Penthouse was bang on.

Finding out that Macklemore’s real name is Benjamin Hammond Haggerty might be as close as I’ll ever come to a real life “his real name’s Clarence” moment.

Resident Alien’s future is in doubt. SyFy will not renew it. NBCU is thinking of putting it on USA but would require a budget cut of 500,000 per episode. Since Netflix now airs it they may pick it up but international rights are own by various parties and they would have to negotiate it. So, the future of show is uncertain.

This won’t be a long series with Luka not being healthy. He is obviously not the same player right now.

I don't like trashing players in their welcome thread, so I'm taking the discussion here: I've been watching Brandon Coleman and his film is awful. I understand that he played through an injury last year, but he was total garbage in the '22 Big 12 championship too. Kind of tread water in the first half, but the flood gates broke in the second and he just got his ass kicked rep after rep and got Max Duggan beaten to a fare thee well. Beaten outside and inside, with power and speed. Issues with hand placement, issues with grip and sustain, issues with his set depth, and really big issues with stiff legs and balance. He tries to bench guys and use his length but he leans so far out over his feet that his balance is really weak and he's just easy to shuck. For someone who is legit fast, it is shockingly easy to run around him and take a tight angle on the turn. I see hints of the recovery speed when he adjusts to stunts properly, and when he pulls, but I think his feet are pretty heavy and slow most of the time. I think Coleman was Peters's worst pick. I think he definitely needs to kick inside to guard because NFL level counter rushers are going to destroy him, but I don't know that I see a bright future for him at guard either. He's not really a standout run blocker, and I would still worry about him in pass pro at guard against more powerful rushers. Frankly, it feels like a tremendous failure from Peters to come out of that absolutely loaded OL draft class with only Brandon Coleman, particularly given the fact we had five Day 2 picks. It looks like we're going to head into camp with very speculative options to start at LT and LG, and realistically none of them are starting caliber. This OL is still going to be a major problem, and Jayden Daniels is going to have to run a **** ton to cope with how bad his pass protection is going to be. His big strength as a passer is the vertical passing game, and we're not going to have time to run it with this line.

Not yet. Packing up all my stuff and putting it in storage as my townhouse goes on the market in early June. Still looking for a new place but really need to sell my townhouse first so I know what my budget realistically is. -
