Not a fan of cognac, I had soju for the first time today and its vile, I'm inebriated as fuck though. Korean BBQ and soju, my Korean friends tell me that in Korea they have soju in juice boxes.

Not a huge fan of soju either. Generally just drink it when I'm out with Korean friends and feel like getting hammered.

It's like vodka to me - good for getting drunk, but not good if you want to actually enjoy a beverage.

I've got a bottle of Don Julio anejo, but not sure I'm at the point where I can just sip on tequila when I feel like chilling. Also have a bottle of Bulleit bourbon but I left it at a friend's house so I might not ever see it again.

Wut soju is good dude. Just the right amount of bite for casual drinking, a hint of citrus and sweetness.

Exactly. Obviously running behind that line helps but he will have just as good of a line in Philly.

D. Murray wasn't some bum who the Cowboys picked off the street and the line made him. It was a combination of both.



Did you mean ranked by who? The same people/publications which ranked Dallas's line #1.Dallas was #1 overall last year Philly #2 but if you look at their breakout, Eagles run blocking was #1.

Yeah that's what I meant. I didn't say the Eagles were a bad o-line. Just Demarco is injury prone, and the true o-line stats are hidden behind Chip's offense. Eagles offense wasn't the issue last year, it was the defense. PF reference says they were 22nd in points allowed.

Add that Demarco is a between the tackles runner and not a McCoy/Forte which is what the offense is built for, it's going to be interesting to see how the Eagles are next year.

Unless Dal gets AP, the division is gonna be between whether Giants are terrible or good versus the Eagles new roster.

Stoked by the potential Greg Hardy signing. Dude is a legit game changer at DE, and Dallas might get him at a good price due to his off the field issues. I hope he doesn't have too long of a suspension for 2015.

Actually the consensus is that Chip Kelly prefers the running style of Murray. Chip had a rule in which RBs were only supposed to make one cut, and other than that they were supposed to be north-south. That's the anti-Shady run philosophy.

McCoy/Forte = Pass catchers. Think like Marshall Faulk

Demarco really isn't that, he's a bruiser

Yes. That is what people are saying Chip wants. Follow a block, hit the gap, cut once if it's there, and other than that run through tackles. McCoy is everything but a bruiser, he's a home run hitter, good in space. Chip would rather use Sproles for that, as can be seen by the amounts of catches he took away from McCoy last season. Chip wants someone to follow blockers and pick up 3-4 yards, and seldom get tackled for a loss.

I think the evidence that this is how Chip is thinking is in the players he signed. Both Mathews and Murray are that type of runner, whereas McCoy is most certainly not. It's why Chris Polk made the roster last year even though he was injured.

take it as a compliment. a promotion typically means you are shit at your job so they will pay you more to get you out of the way of the main operations.

I was being sarcastic, but in the case of my company, when a dispatcher is a fuck-up they actually will move them to a "supervisor" position where they dont have to actually dispatch and can fuck up less.

So Bill Simmons is going to be on RAW? Wtf?
Click to expand...

Yep. He's a huge fan, it's the RAW before WrestleMania (WWE's Super Bowl), and WWE craves whatever mainstream attention they can get. He'll be joining the commentators booth to call 1-2 matches. Should be fun.

Does Michael Cole call Raw? it would be historic watching the two worst voices in television calling the same thing.
