I haven't had Victory's IPA. Wasn't impressed by BFoD's though. Whatever though, I've got a soft spot for Bells.

Just know, in your heart, he hasn't tried Hop Slam. Some day he will be praising Bells like the rest if us

 

[Lee Chaolan]

:jnc I was talking about Grimes, not you. You're my number one FA next year.

LOL how you phrased that was perfect.

Dutch, Dawson's gone, how are you at kicking field goals?

If anyone was rooting for Harvard you are a bad person

Sad to see meaningless office pools kill the spirit of the tournament.

My blind ass is finally getting some glasses so I can renew my license without shame. I hadn't gone for a real eye exam since 2001, and I squinted my way through college. Seeing the before and after on the correction was embarrassing, but the doc and I had a good laugh.

Wow dude, was it a money thing or just doctor phobia.

Me, I cant see shit without lenses.

"Brackets" ruined the tournament.

 

[eznark]

"Brackets" ruined the tournament.

Not for me. I fill em out and almost never pick upsets but when it comes time to watch the actual games I am always rooting for the underdog. I imagine people who actually get mad about a fantastic game like Harvard - New Mexico only pay attention to the SportsCenter highlights.

I'm pretty much the same. I make my selections but if a great game pops up I root for the more "deserving" team. Which is usually the underdog.

If my bracket goes to shit ah well, just means there are probably a ton of great games going on.

 

[effzee]

I am really surprised the Eagles are not in on grimes.

I'm not. He doesn't fit the type of physical player they are going for. Not that I wouldn't want them to sign him but I think they are done in FA for now. At least for the CB position. They have signed two guys who are young, tackle, and started on their previous teams. Even if they aren't studs they at least know they have to capable CBs which already is an improvement over last season. Same at S.

I think any more additions to the secondary will come through the draft.

What do you think they do at KR? Chip said DeSean will return punts (or more punts whatever that means) so does that mean Boykin at KR? I know the KR game isn't as vital anymore with the rule changes but I would still like to have better starting position than the 20 or what was usually the case for us, less than the 20.

Yeah I think Boykin will get first shot at KR, I wouldnt be surprised if they also grab someone in the draft that can compete for that job depending how things play out.

I've never filled out an NCAA bracket in my life. I just don't think of Harvard when I think of Cinderella/upset

Did you watch the game? They were the better team in that game. It wasn't a flukey win at all.

If it doesn't cause a lot of pain and is something that involves doctors, I usually just deal with it. I can see fine up close where I do most of my work, but the idea of "far" has been getting closer and closer over the past few years. I had to squint to barely pass my vision test for license renewal 4 years ago, so I figured it was time.

Off to work I go. Would love to see Grimes signed by us when I'm back ;3

 

[Goro Majima]

Wait, people actually root for the blue bloods? Who cares about Duke, Kentucky, or North Carolina winning yet again?

This isn't football where my alma matter gets a bunch of money from all this if the SEC wins. They might get some but not nearly the amount of football.

I just root for my team to win and hope for chaos with the other teams.

I root for the Philly teams, UNH, and all the lower seeded teams. I hate when a number 1 seed wins it all.

Dutch, Dawson's gone, how are you at kicking field goals?

Somehow on television kicking field goals looks really easy but in person those posts look really small and it looks really hard past 20 yards (which would probably be tough for the average guy).

The Steelers need a guy with a huge leg so Tomlin can at least try insane field goals at the end of games with at least a chance of them making it.

Ed Reed will be introduced as the newest Houston Texan at a 10 am press conference this morning.

The free agent safety is getting a three-year deal worth $15 milion with $5 million guaranteed.

That is not that bad at all. Can also watch the press conference live at www.houstontexans.com

 

[GraveRobberX]

So hows everyone been?

Anything good happen?

 

[squicken]

Not really into CBB. I'll flip on games that are close, but I never bothered to yesterday. Just in the abstract I think that it would have meant more for New Mexico fans than Harvard fans

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

Fuck the NCAAs! Did you see Maryland come back on Denver in the NI....ok, I tried to get that out. Man, I miss being a good program.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

Not for me. I fill em out and almost never pick upsets but when it comes time to watch the actual games I am always rooting for the underdog. I imagine people who actually get mad about a fantastic game like Harvard - New Mexico only pay attention to the SportsCenter highlights.

I don't even fill them out anymore because I want to be able to enjoy the games without even thinking about who I picked to win. It just makes the whole thing less fun to me.

Gotcha, I'll stop engaging you on the subject then. My bad.

Aren't they taking the entire cap hit in year 1? I like that idea, but they are now basically down to just signing guys at the vet minimum, right?

haha just saw that too. Unreal he is only 24. It's hard to imagine him ever having a better season than what he just had, but who knows? If they could just get a good pass rusher on the edge, that guy could clean up so much of the havoc JJ creates

 

[MechDX]

All we know is the numbers I posted and its a 3 year deal. Details forthcoming I hope. Yeah but they can free up lots of cap space easily by just extending Antonio and restructuring Dre.

Seriously, who is left out there that would not be vet minimum anyway?

They really need someone who can rush the passer. Reed and Barwin were just effort guys. Go get one of those vets that's been cut, and just play him in obvious passing situations

Missing reps for the bolded teams. Please. Let's get fans to represent before we move to alternates.

Rules for NFL Mock Draft 2013 (If i'm forgetting anything or you have questions, feel free to point them out.):

Fans of the team pick for their own team. If we don't get enough of those, then we pick other people to fill the slots.

Rules are just like last year - It should be considered a consensus pick - team members should collaborate to choose someone instead of one just blurting out their pick. I'll be less patient in waiting; say, four hours selection time per team. You don't make the time, you get skipped. No trades - we're not doing a full 7 round mock so there's nothing of value to trade. Just pick who you believe your team will pick in your spot.

Collaboration is encouraged. We're trying for an open dialog this year so debating in the thread is encouraged, however if your team is the secretive type feel free to take it to PMs.

I'm teaming up with Talon for the Falcons pick.

he looks so sad

Im doing screen captures. lol

Im watching it live he dont wanna be there

 

[squicken]

Im watching it live he dont wanna be there

Problem was Ozzie wanted nothing to do with him. Ozzie loves Flacco, and there's no room for anyone else in his heart

Ozzie Newsome says Reed will always be part of Ravens family. Adds: "He's not the 1st Hall of Famer to move to another team"

 

[MechDX]

Summary so far:

1) Happy to be here
2) Thinks Ray did it
3) Fuck Flacco!
4) Tom Brady is a pantywaste

 

[chuckddd]

Poor bastard did have to live in Baltimore for multiple years. It either kills your soul or kills you.

 

[Nakazato]

All I know he will be cut before this 3rd year. Body wont hold up 3 more years.

5 best WRs in Steelers history

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter 12m

Chiefs are seeking a second-round pick in this year's draft as well as another pick in 2014 in a trade for franchise OT Branden Albert.

For any of you OT needy teams.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

For any of you OT needy teams.

The Dolphins need one but I doubt they're willing to part with any picks.

 

[MechDX]

"Im high as fuck right now!"

 

[yankeehater]

That price is crazy steep. I doubt any team would be willing to pay it.

 

[squicken]

I really wonder if CAA didn't screw their other OT clients by slow-playing the Long contract. Fisher said they had to put other things on hold until they knew what they were committing to Long, which may have let Turner go

 

[chuckddd]

better than Pittsburgh

Wow. Witty. Apparently, Baltimore also kills you sense of humor.

If we dont get Doom ill take that trade

Just finished watching. Time to go party with A Dre.

Hopefully can bring that mental toughness at least.

Poor old homeless Ed, he goes from Flacco to Schoob.

 

[squicken]

Welp Ted Johnson will be dead soon. Guess he called Vince Wilfork's wife ugly

Ted Johnson, a former Patriots linebacker (won three Super Bowls, played at the University of Colorado), is now hosting a radio show in Houston. He was asked who the ugliest spouse was on the Patriots during his time there.

That&#8217;s something he probably should have not answered. But he did. &#8220;He won&#8217;t hear this &#8211; Vince Wilfork,&#8221; said Johnson. Whoops.

He become homeless because of Flacco.

It's ok, we can shack him up in the Astrodome
