ZooeyModeratorIt is a bummer about Bruss and Hardy. Those were the two most promising rookies. Hardy’s season may not be over, but he’s not going to get more than a few plays on the field this year, unless there is depletion in the LB department.
ZooeyModeratorEvery time i see that stat, I smile.
And you don’t even have idiot brothers who are Cowboys fans.
ZooeyModeratorI dunno.
Rams lost to the Texans.
Looks to me like the season is over before it even starts.
ZooeyModeratorI think everybody is overlooking the fact that the Dallas Cowboys have not made it to the NFC Championship game since they won the Super Bowl in 1995.
ZooeyModeratorWell, by the time I actually started watching games weekly, Gabriel was on the back nine, and as a kid new to football, I don’t trust my opinion of him. I estimated him highly, but I have no idea if he merited that.
I think I generally agree with your rankings. Of the Tier 3 guys, I would probably take Bulger first, and Goff last, but…yeah…same tier. I’m not sure there is a lot of space between Tier 2 and Tier 3, actually. Looking at those guys, the ones I’m least certain of are Hadl and Miller, and that’s because they were with the Rams a short time, and towards the end of their careers, but they both played better than anybody in the Tier 4 list, for sure.
I’m not finished with Stafford, but…yeah.
ZooeyModeratorI don’t see Skowronek or Tutu as locks. I guess Powell is, and you can call him a WR if you want, but his job is to catch the ball and not trip over his own feet. He’s replaceable, and he’s only on the Rams because neither Tutu nor Skowronek could clear that bar.
Whatever. I’m going only on what I see in games, not in practice, and not on film. But if McCutcheon can return kicks…he’s already shown more as a receiver than any of those three guys, albeit just one game, a game in which the Chargers secondary looked like the Keystone Cops.
ZooeyModeratorYou control what you can control. If you block him he can’t respond to you so as far as the rest of twitter is concerned, there’s nothing to see from him that would involve you. Don’t overthink it. Just block people that pester you. Block and done. Not blocking them gets taken as an invitation to pester you more. I don’t even remember who it is I have blocked. I just blocked them, and voila, no more problems.
Okay. I’ve never blocked anyone because it’s always been somebody who is just being rude, and it’s been confined to tweets that fewer than 100 people even saw.
This guy was going for the jugular in a personal way in a tweet that drew 80,000 viewers. He was trying intimidate me into blocking him. That was his goal. He even said so.
But it was in the sunset of the tweet’s life, and when I quit responding, he gave up.
ZooeyModerator
ZooeyModeratorBut a block just means he can’t see my tweets, right? It doesn’t delete his tweets, or prevent other people from seeing them.
I don’t know. I’m still unclear on all the twitter functions.
Anyway, after a bit, I realized his original target was someone else, and then he turned on me when she blocked him, and nobody else was involved. So it was just the two of us off in a remote corner of the internet, and he had no purpose other than to try to agitate me, so I just let it die on the vine.
Weird experience, though. The whole 4K “Likes” and all the Retweets was weird, too. It just destroys Notifications like a dump truck unloading pea gravel in your account. It drowned out everything, and I lost track of a couple of those bite-size interactions which is what I’m used to. Those interactions were hopelessly lost.
I now know why big accounts never respond to comments on their tweets. It’s practically impossible.
ZooeyModeratorEnh. Never mind.
The guy is just a troll. The acct has 15 followers, and follows 3 accts. I’m gonna guess those 15 followers are his other troll accounts.
It was just momentarily disconcerting to have a guy screenshotting pretty old tweets and trying to frame me negatively. You know…like…why?
But when I recognized it was just a troll, it all became clear.
ZooeyModeratorOops. Here is the original tweet. I accidentally copied the wrong link
So Democrats just passed a bill with zero Republican votes.
Why not codify Roe?
Cuz… they don't wanna?

ZooeyModeratorAnd check the replies to this:
Yeah, fuck those guys, and their sincere desire to help poor people get healthcare, a pay raise, and have access to higher education.

ZooeyModeratorHe (This guy who is following 3 accts, and has 15 followers) responded with this stuff:
There were 2 wks in Feb 2020 when the Bernie Bros were exuberantly confident, buoyed by the fact Biden hadn't wasted precious time & resources battling a dozen candidates for a few delegates in lilly White IA & NH. Their hopes were crushed and they're still bitter.
Bernie lost

ZooeyModeratorThe way the Rams are playing only Perkins at QB tells me he is the starter this year. They’re not even giving Stafford a Looksee. Or Wolford.
They should be fine, though. 29 points is a lot. And the game isn’t even over.

ZooeyModeratorI dunno. I mean…I dunno.

ZooeyModeratorBut for me, DV is maybe a ‘borderline’ Hall of Famer. I just dont know if i would have voted for him. I dunno.
Well, I know how I would vote if… uh… we were on an island and this was Survivor.
ZooeyModeratorMy wife got covid though she’s okay. There was a scare in there.
Wow. Glad she’s okay.
ZooeyModerator
ZooeyModeratorI would put the Rams at #1, and the Buccaneers at #28.
ZooeyModeratorI have peroneal tendonitis. Developed sometime late May/early June. There are times I feel fine, and times it flares up and I have to limp. As far as I can tell, the less I stress my ankle, the better I feel. Less ascending/descending is better. But a lot of standing/walking/pushing wheelbarrows uphill, the more likely I am to feel pain and weakness. It hasn’t gone away yet.
The pain can be brief. I can be having acute pain one moment, and be fine 2 minutes later. Rest helps.
I have no idea if my experience is relevant or typical, but on the basis of My Ankle, I’m going to guess that Stafford will throw some bad interceptions, like last year, and be great most of the time, like last year. So, yeah, it worries me, but I’m always worried.
ZooeyModeratorI don’t know what is just in this case.
And I’m a little scared of judges who think they do know.
ZooeyModeratorI don’t think there has ever been this many really good QBs in the league at the same time.
Yeah there’s something to that isn’t there. Even though they lost a few in recent years too. Going back to 2020: Eli, Brees, Roethlisberger, Luck, Rivers. Along with some “perpetual #2s who started sometimes” like McCown, Fitzpatrick, and Smith.
It just feels like there are 10 or 12 guys who are good enough to elevate a team with flaws to win the Super Bowl.
And another half dozen who are as good as most of the Super Bowl winners. And another half dozen who are better than Trent Dilfer.
It just looks like there are a lot of really good teams right now. This is going to be a quality year of football.

ZooeyModeratorI thought there had been 56 Super Bowls. Do you not know who won that one?
ZooeyModerator“That is some disrespect. Matthew Stafford — tier 2?”
I don’t think there has ever been this many really good QBs in the league at the same time.
ZooeyModerator
ZooeyModeratorI liked Danny when he was with the Rams, and I was bummed that he left, but I think I would have been happy for him no matter where he went. Except the Patriots. F that guy.
