    But a 90 mph fastball is almost below average in MLB. More likely a 95 mph fastball.

    98 is more like 60 in football terms. imo Last season, the average fastball reached 92.0 mph. Ok, I will call 57mph equal to 92 mph.

    If I could only hit it.

    How can she hold her own when she is on record denying any classified information was in the emails on the server in her bathroom? Despite many thousands of the emails still not recovered from the server being wiped we now know from those that were recovered that over 2000 of those emails contained classified information. There is no wiggle room there.

    Wall St. pays $225,000 per speech to hear her? Or to buy influence?

    Question for democrats should be how can someone so obviously flawed be anointed with the nomination?

    HCs don’t develop QBs. Successful HCs generally have good QBs. I hope the Rams keep Fisher as HC.

    I read you BNW, but back in the day, Crossman didn’t sell a 760 Pump-master to attract little girls like they do today….or should I say a pink gun to give dad an excuse to buy a pink gun for his daughter…

    What I also notice lately is that Crossman now marks each model and package with a

    “primary use”

    recommendation of the specific model: for example, “this gun is good for pest control”, with a drawing of a squirrel in the “crossfire cross-hairs”

    URL= http://www.crosman.com/airguns/air-rifles?primary_use=15

    so I guess it’s acceptable to snipe squirrels that raid my nectarine tree?

    BTW,. does anyone have any good bb-gun or pellet gun stories from their childhood? Most stories reflect on some pretty fun times……. but I’m sure we all have some stories with a less than favorable outcome… I know I do…..

    If a girl wants a pellet gun it doesn’t matter what color dad purchases. If she hands it down to her brother he will either replace or paint over the pink parts. Or not.

    The 760 is a classic. I’d stay away from any 760 made after 1990 though. You can still buy great quality from the 70s and 80s for less than $50 on the net. Quality rebuild kits are still available too. Bought my son a 760 when he was 10 and got myself another one. At the time paid $30 for each. A 760 is a good varmint option if you have squirrelly neighbors. 760 is still the most fun to plink with. It is always acceptable to pop nectarine thieving squirrels. Those squirrels go into that tree knowing the score.

    Stories about bb gun fun. Yes I have a lot too. The one that I remember most is when the kid next door bet he could hit the smart mouth neighbor girl in the butt at 50 yards. I can still hear the sound of the bb hitting her butt and her cussing him. Good times.

    They should still get out more. Extremely small rifles have been around I would guess for at least 70 years. These rifles were scaled down for a 6 year old. Shot .22 short. I had a neighbor who found one in his garage and showed me the old toy gun. He didn’t even know. The NRA has Eddie Eagle or some cartoon character that preaches gun safety. Focus on the next generation has always been there. Half ass effort by so called staff writers.

    29-31 are the most important. No longer government of and for the people. Obama bailed out the states to maintain payrolls not build infrastructure. Bush II made some banks too big to fail bailing them out with public money so they could then drive out local banks becoming even bigger while those same bankers enjoyed record compensation. The people are speaking now through the campaigns of Trump and Sanders.

    And then there is a guy like Tony Romo who wasn’t drafted at all.

    Yeah, though, unfortunately, it’s hard to do the numbers on UDFAs like Warner or Romo, because while you can trace out how many made it and started in the league, you can never name the entire field of them so you can’t do the percentages on it. What percentage of UDFA qbs made it? Don’t know, there’s no mechanism to count all the ones who signed so you can’t do a percentage.

    Or Delhomme.

    Trump will beat Bernie too. Millennials recognize energy from the sun drives earths climate and the carbon tax is another money grab. Imagine democrats not enthused about getting to vote for another first. First woman president. I thought they lived for that opportunity. Hillary outside of being indicted can’t be dinged since the demo party power structure is upholding the agreement she had with Obama to pull out of the 2008 primary. It is Hill’s turn now. Bernie didn’t get the memo because he hasn’t been a democrat until very recently.

    I’m fine with all three cuts. Never wanted them to draft C. Long. He wasn’t a disruptive force with the Rams. He has a great motor and doesn’t take plays off which is a great example to his teammates but until Brockers and Quinn became starters Long was easily neutralized. Year after year watching QBs easily roll out away from his pressure was frustrating. Adding Donald was huge but Long was injured too much to benefit. He needs to go somewhere he can have a strong supporting cast. If he takes a pay cut that could still be the Rams.

    JL seems like a quality guy. Very durable. Perhaps he calls a good defense? I don’t know. I do know for years I’ve been sick of watching him dragged downfield while trying to make a tackle.

    Cook seems like someone that can be replaced for less money. Also wonder how much of a team player he is after barking at the QB the past couple seasons. Rams really need a blocking TE that can reliably contribute to the offense.

    If these cuts bring in a quality QB or much needed help at WR then in Fisher I trust.

    Z was worse last season. Cost the team a few games. The kicker should be nearly automatic within his range. Z wasn’t. Although with StanK’s money I hope Z gets a hefty raise.
