wvParticipantThey both missed the Rams…and so did I
wvParticipantGastritis news
wvParticipantFastest 40 time by a tight end, ever, at the combine.
wvParticipantAccording to the comments, Caldwell wasnt at the Senior bowl and is not a great route runner. Another Cincy WR was at the Senior Bowl. Cyrus Allen.
Still, 6’5″ and 4.32 — someone is gonna draft him.

vwvParticipanti have been known to watch some of these little criterion-closet vids.
“peaceful wise resistance” vs “feral urges”
wvParticipantI keep reading that the Dolphins at 11, and the Cowboys at 12 are looking to add a CB.
This is annoying.

vwvParticipantGreen Party plumber beats Labor and Far Right in election.
wvParticipantEdge rushers in the top 15
wvParticipantAaron Donald at #13 has to be the greatest draft pick in Rams history.
I know they got Deacon Jones in the 13th or 14th round – something absurd – but that was well before there was anything like the scouting that exists today.
From memory – I think most of the Rams’ HOF players were drafted higher than that. I guess there’s an argument for Kurt Warner, but Donald had longevity with the team which counts for something. I dunno. Just spitballin’.
I dunno. Aaron Donald is too small, and Marshall Faulk cant run inside. Thats all i know.
w
vwvParticipantHmmm. I wonder what the secret is to “best cinnamon toast.”
w
vwvParticipantI like the Poona pick.
Poona and Puka.

vwvParticipantAnd those videos are now gone. The Account has vanished.
This one is still up, fwiw
wvParticipantGreg Cosell said in a vid it wouldnt surprise him if there were only about ten or eleven players with actual first round grades this year.

vwvParticipantGreg Cosell reads The Great Gatsby and Moby Dick to learn about three tight end schemes.
wvParticipantJoel Klatt on Cowherd had the Rams taking a Guard at 13:
Vega Ioane , Penn State, 6’4″ 323 lbs.
====Lance Zierlein
Overview
Prototypical guard for physical run schemes with thick limbs, a broad frame and plus core strength. Ioane plays with excellent contact balance and technique on both base blocks and double teams. He uses his hips and hands for leverage and displacement when drive blocking. However, he lacks athleticism and foot quickness to operate effectively as a move blocker. He pass sets with good posture and a firm punch and can anchor against power. Though quicker at a lighter weight in 2025, he will struggle with twitchy interior defenders who cross his face in the run game and attack his edges in protection. Despite scheme dependence, Ioane projects as an early starter with a high floor.

wvParticipantThere was a whistle. This is acknowledged. And that’s the issue. The issue isn’t the call, it’s the rule. According to the rule, in this situation “immediate continuing action” is in force even if there is a whistle. But the problem is, a defense will stop playing at a whistle and not everyone is in a position to know that was a backward pass. A defender risks a flag if they continue to play and make contact after a whistle.
No one is disputing the call. They’re disputing the rule.
I see. Well, there’s pluses and minuses to the Rams proposed changes. I kinda like a chaotic scramble for a busted up lateral. I dont think I’d want the rule to be changed to where only the QB can recover the ball.
I wonder how the Rams proposed change would affect those crazy end-of-game lateral-fests.

vwvParticipantWonder what happened with Aubrey Pleasant? He didnt keep a job with McVay and he didnt get a job anywhere else.

vwvParticipantBlack history month Nikes.
wvParticipantwvParticipantIt does seem strange Ty would be turning down 5 million dollars to stay in college, unless someone assured him he would go in the first round.
I’m not sure there’s ever been a first round where only one QB was picked. With all the great college teams across this great-dying-land of ours, its hard to fathom the fact that there is only one great-QB-prospect. Did they all become figure-skaters?
I dont want a ‘developmental’ QB in the first round. I either want 2 high-impact players in the first round or trade down and get some more picks.
w
vwvParticipantOne of the biggest calls/plays in NFL history. And they got it right. (unless the whistle blew, and i didnt hear a whistle)
Fans will remember it forever, like the Tuck-rule-play, and the Holy Roller and the non-call PI against the Saints.

vwvParticipantAdolph Reed is in a long podcast on this site. Here’s a snippet of that. He basically sez, Jesse was all about Jesse. He contrasts that with Bernie. Fwiw:

Valued at about 7 Billion as of now.

vwvParticipantIt is not lost on NFL-watchers that Nate Scheelhaase is black,
and that the owners lean toward hiring white whiz-kid Offensive Coordinators and
that McV has had a bunch of white OCs in the past
and this is his first black OC…w
vwvParticipantI forget if i posted this before. But its worth another look.

AI OverviewAfter passing the boundary of the heliosphere, a spacecraft or object enters the
interstellar medium (ISM). The specific region immediately outside the heliosphere is often referred to as the Very Local Interstellar Medium (VLISM).
Here are the specific names and regions associated with the boundary and beyond the heliosphere:Heliopause: This is the specific boundary itself, where the solar wind is completely stopped by the interstellar medium and pressure balances. Voyager 1 and 2 crossed this point to enter interstellar space.
Very Local Interstellar Medium (VLISM): The region of space immediately outside the heliopause. It consists of the plasma and dust that fills the Milky Way.
Local Bubble: The low-density region of the interstellar medium in which the Sun and the heliosphere are currently traveling.
Interstellar Space: The broader, general term for the space between stars.
Oort Cloud: While not technically “after” the heliosphere (it is partially within it), this massive, distant spherical shell of icy objects surrounds the Solar System and is considered part of the Sun’s gravitational, if not magnetic, domain.Key Boundaries Surrounding the Heliosphere:
Termination Shock: The inner edge of the heliosheath where solar wind slows to subsonic speeds.
Heliosheath: The turbulent, outermost region of the heliosphere.
Heliopause: The final, definitive boundary separating the Sun’s plasma from interstellar plasma.
Heliotail: The rear part of the heliosphere, which is stretched into a tail-like structurewvParticipantDeath of Jesse Jackson.

wvParticipantNever heard of Whitney Webb.
Seems like a candidate for her car mysteriously exploding in the middle of a street in Malta.
Yeah, I’ve been listening to her for a couple of years. She is possibly the last living American journalist 🙂
