    Of course you can say way back when the Yankees handed out #’s in conjunction with their batting lineup… thus Ruth being 3 and Mantle 4 and Joe DiMaggio 5 etc….

     

     

    You shouldn't post stuff because you are wrong and bad and wrong and this is dumb because it's wrong. 

     

    Like this is insanley wrong, and I hate you for it.

     

    Mantle was supposed to be #6. After Ruth #3, Gerhig #4, DiMaggio #5. He was assigned #6 but got sent back down to the minors after his initial call-up. When he returned, he wanted to be #7.

     

    George Costanza also wanted to name his child "Seven" after Mantle.

     

    Seriously, it's like the most famous number is sports. Every Boomer male knew it because it was on the baseball cards their moms threw away.

     

    By the way, my Father in Law had a mother who did not throw away his baseball cards. He's already distributed some of them to his son and to me. 50s baseball cards are art.

    I get it , it is only a #… but to a degree it goes a lot deeper, the expectation that a seasoned NFL (regardless of his position) is expected to just give up his # after having it for such a long time… hmm

     

    kinda like a employee having 10+ years at his employment and this new young supposedly can’t miss employee comes in and wants his office, or title or whatever it may be as to your employment… would you just simply “Give it Up” 

     

     

    He's the punter. Half the guys don't know his name.

     

    In all seriousness, with as insane as NFL roster turnover is in 2024, anyone who is not a 5-time all pro (and punters don't count) shouldn't feel too precious about his number. You're going to be in Seattle next year anyway, amigo. Take the dinner at Morton's or whatever and move on.

    So magic was the key note speaker today at the aaae conference I volunteered at (my airport was hosting) all volunteers got to meet and take a picture. 

     

    I thanked him and told him when the group took over was the 1st time in 10 yrs I spent money on the team for merch.  Also told him the fans are pumped for the future.  Said he was grateful for the fans support and the they can feel the support and energy from the fan base.

     

    Then he told you how he used to play with James. And Kareem. And pretended to throw a no-look pass.

    Haskins was a dice roll, we were prepared for him to suck. It was a terrible QB draft with no great QB prospects beyond Murray. We knew they were stupid to ignore QB in '18, and had to address it in '19 or '20 or '21 (used the wrong drafts as per usual until this year), and so thank god they didnt trade up for danny nickels. That's how I felt anyway. I knew we sucked, maybe Haskins would hit maybe not, I had no idea, but I knew the '20 and '21 classes looked loaded, and if Haskins missed we'd have great pick(s) those years and the one thing we couldn't do was trade up for obvious future bust Danny Nickels, we didn't, so honestly that draft was a sigh of relief that we didn't waste future picks pursuing a sure bust in Nickels. That's why i wasn't as mad.

     

    You really committed to this Danny Nickles thing.

    This is not RG3 all over again as a person.

     

    Not corny, not fake.  All about the ball. 

     

     

     

    Because you said this, I'm going to go into the archives and post every word Om wrote about RGIII during his rookie year.

     

    I honestly find it slightly strange the degree to which this fanbase turned on him. His career is truly bizarre.

     

    1. Totally reinvent the game of football for 12 weeks.

    2. Destroy your knee because your coach is a stubborn ass and the field was filled with medical waste.

    3. Release a dumb video.

    4. Be bad at football.

     They all suck, to varying degrees. It appears to just be pretty near to impossible to do this well, or to do this effectively at any rate that isn't suggestive that blind luck is the largest proportional piece of the eval that should get the credit. 

     

     

    It's honestly pretty amazing how terrible the NFL is at this. I don't completely understand why it's so hard.

     

    I understand why baseball prospects miss. You're largely drafting children who aren't going to be playing until their mid 20s, assuming that every tendon in their body doesn't snap before that.

     

    When NBA prospects miss, it's usually because of some fatal flaw that everyone was aware of when they drafted him. Like "unable to shoot a basketball well." And NBA surprises tend to be of the Giannis variety of "We knew he could be pretty good, but then he grew 5 inches and gained 50 pounds but somehow got more athletic."

     

    The NFL makes no sense. I watched this guy be good against high level competition for three years. And then I measured all his physical tools. And it was good. And then he forgot how to play football.

     

    I liked it better when cocaine could be blamed.

    Don't fool yourself. The Patriots have had "several decades of turmoil."

     

    They made five playoff appearances from their formation in 1960 to the time Kraft bought the franchise (Jan. '94). The only true oasis was 1984-'86, including a surprise Super Bowl run.

     

     No one cares.

     

    This is a bad post.

     

    Stop making bad posts.

     

    Thank you.

    Ehhhh pre-FA I'd agree but we really solidified the interior OL and our skill position players are pretty okay.  Sure they aren't great but I'd mark them as pretty okay.  If we can get a RT in the draft or even an RT/LT and another RT later, plus a WR, and maybe a high upside TE, our offense will be chugging.

     

    Now yes that would require some major sitting on defensive players in the draft.  We'd have to go like QB, RT/LT, WR, RT, TE with the first 5 picks, and couldn't touch defense until later.

     

    But the offense would be pretty stacked if those picks hit.

     

     

    Terrible!!!!

     

    Also did not read a word past the "Ehhh."
