  1. Flying in from South Carolina, grabbed a redzone parking pass and renting a car. Have a random question about what size vehicle I can park in this lot. Was hoping to rent a minivan, but worried it will be too long for the space? I read somewhere that 15’ is the maximum vehicle length. The minivan looks to be 16.5’. Am I getting accurate info and do minivans not fit into the spaces in the redzone lot?
  2. The conversation from earlier this week about whether or not London is slow and why he didn’t run the 40 yard dash has me wondering why the 40 yard dash is still such an “important” pre-draft evaluation tool, and why it’s done in undies. Don’t you think it would provide way better information for talent evaluations if it was done in a way that simulates an actual football action. Some suggestions: 1. All players run in full pads and game uniforms. 2. Players start in the position that is natural to the position they play. For example, WR’s start with 1 foot forward, standing upright with hands on 1 knee. LB’s start standing upright with hands on both knees, etc. 3. Linemen start with a hand in the dirt and only run a 30 yard dash. 4. All sprints start with the snap of a football to account for reaction time, which is realistic to a game scenario. 5. Players top speeds can be measured and announced to determine speed vs. quickness. It takes weeks (or longer) of preparation to dial in a 40 yard dash and it’s never used on a football field. I just can’t figure out how a discipline, that is taken entirely from another sport, so heavily changes the way these players are evaluated and perceived.
  3. The date was September 26, 2011. My first child (daughter) was born. It just so happened to be a Monday and Dallas was on the schedule that night. My daughter was 12 days overdue and the doctors chose that day to induce if she didn’t arrive before then, so I knew I may not be able to watch the game. I was able to covertly secure us a room with a tiny TV. It was a long labor and my wife was exhausted by game time. I held my newborn daughter for 3 hour that night while my wife slept. I whispered to her about about the rivalry and it’s meaning. We didn’t win that night, but it was my favorite game ever. She’s 10 now and her disdain for Dallas is alive and well. She woke up Monday morning and told me, “It’s Dallas week, Daddy”. And my heart grew another size.
  4. I’ll be there, but don’t have much input on your other questions. I went to an MLS game there earlier this year and I can say the stadium is impressive. Wicked Weed has a cool bar/restaurant in the upper level that overlooks the field. Would be a cool place to have a beverage or two before the game if you feel like going inside early. I’ll be sitting WAAAAAAY up high in section 312. HAIL
  5. I’m seeing 1,250.5 which seems like a proper line.
  6. The below is strictly a FOOTBALL post: Just listened to Jon Bostic being interviewed on Sirius NFL Radio. He mentioned that he has scheduled his vaccination but hasn’t gotten it yet. Makes me hopeful that there are other players that are planning on getting it, but just haven’t yet. Let me reiterate, this post is only about the football aspect of things.
  7. I think I hit refresh more times yesterday than during the first day of free agency. Going to take a while for this blister to heal 😂. Glad it’s back.
  8. I’m a couple pages behind but have to chime in on this. Devaroe Lawrence’s story is truly awesome. I’m good friends with his two step-sisters here in Greenville, SC. He had a very rough up-bringing as the story states. My friends dad (former Georgia Tech tight end) saw his potential and took him under his wing and became his mentor when he got to high school. He was able to get him on the right path and eventually ended up adopting him toward the end of his high school years. He still goes by Jamal when he’s back visiting the family. What you see in the video clips is what he is. Happy-go-lucky dude. I couldn’t be pulling harder for him to make the 53.
  9. Have you recently taken up jogging?
  10. I’m hoping Darrisaw falls to 51 at this point.
  11. **** it. Let’s trade back (if we can) and take JOK or Davis in the early/mid 20’s. Then trade back up into the late 20’s and take Collins. LB solved.
  12. Looks like Jenkins has the Moses “damn near false start” step down pat.
  13. Wouldn’t Horn have to be a strong BPA candidate in this scenario?
