bionic is Rip Van Winkle, confirmed. Bed Bugs have come back to the states since a decade ago and have been epidemic status since.

Keep thinking it has to do with being civilized. Keep thinking you're safe. Maybe you already have them and are just somebody who doesn't get a reaction to their bites.
We don't have any kind of bugs at my house brah. I don't have any facts to confirm this but I will always associate bed bugs with filth, ignorance and abject poverty. Those are all things that you animals can control and I hold you all responsible for it.
 
I know your sandwich is from Cincy. I'm just bringing up Ian's because everyone from Chicago up to Madison seems to rave about their mac and cheese pizza.

Culver's. And then buy cheese curds whenever you have the chance.

Yesss. I'm going to GB again this year and I'll be stocking up this time.

Mac and Cheese on bread again....

That has to be a crime against humanity or something.
a good mac and cheese can have some toasted bread crumbs in it, so I can see how it might work. It would be better as an open faced sandwich with a shit load of mac and cheese though.

Seems like calling a furry an animal is like the a#1 compliment you could give them.

You people are missing out if you never try ketchup with your grilled cheese.

Godly combo: Dipping grilled cheese into a mixture of ketchup and Taco Bell Hot Sauce every bite. Mouth watering just thinking about it at my desk...

edit: and before anyone's like "HUR DURR taco bell wut r u jash fatman?!" No. I'm brown. Brown people love Taco Bell.

Yeah, I remember reading about it when he was let out of his UConn commitment. He was the #1 TE in the country, from Bristol, and suddenly Connecticut no longer wanted him. He had to go a long way away because teams in the Northeast assumed he wouldn't be away from his circle far enough. Sounds to me like the circle followed him to Florida.

ProTip: when teams say "he is around bad influencers" or "he has a troubling circle of friends" it means they are concerned about gang activity. I've heard (since all the killing tons of people shit has surfaced so grain of salt) that around 18 teams considered him completely and totally undraftable.

Except you're completely wrong. It's "disease is caused by demons and bad air", "the sun orbits the Earth", and "Joe Webb can throw in the NFL" level ignorance.

Start the Johnathan Franklin hype train! He's going to be a great fit for the Packers offense. He can run but more importantly, has good hands. Also, I heard he always falls forward! Joking aside, I watched him play quite a few times over his UCLA career and I'm really excited to see what he does in the NFL.

I personally don't put ketchup on grilled cheeses, but it seems to be based on the same logic as grilled cheese and tomato soup, which is amazing.

Tell me more.
 
He's occasionally had him stand up in practice, but I doubt he'll ask him to cover. Abe actually cover a few snaps a game

We'll be using 3-4 looks against teams that employ read options.

To add to this, Biermann has been getting lots of reps standing up. He makes sense standing up since he has some coverage ability.

You must eat really, really shitty tomato soup.

It just doesn't come off as that weird to me. There's nothing controversial about eating a burger with ketchup. It's not like that last bite of your burger when you accidentally tear the remainder of the meat with a previous bite, tastes awful now that it's mostly bread, cheese and condiments.

People eat ketchup with their cheese on a sticks at Hot Dog on a Stick in the US, and that's basically a grilled cheese sandwhich at that point.

Show me someone attractive, wealthy and smart who had bed bugs and maybe I will take your preposterous claims seriously!

Unbelievable. I can't believe they signed the guy who tried to kill Schaub. You either hate him for doing it or hate him for failing to finish the job. Either way, no middle ground
 
Jags update:
Not to promote injury or anything but this seems like it's only good for the Jags. With Henne under center I think the jags can have a pretty decent/good O, atleast way better then with Gabbert I think.

Also thanks squicken, slay, and TrentTruck for the advice/goodluck last week. Got that student supervisor job.

GREG BEDARD: After seeing what Adrian Peterson did last year, returning from ACL surgery and rushing for 2,097 yards, and after seeing the investment Tennessee made in its offensive line to become a run-first team, do you envision yourself and Peterson getting into a McGwire-Sosa-like battle to challenge Eric Dickerson’s single-season rushing record of 2,105 yards?

CHRIS JOHNSON: That would be real fun. What a lot of people don’t understand is, I rushed for almost 1,300 yards last year with two or three different offensive lines starting every other week. I overcame a lot of things, and I still was able to be a top player and an elite back. By beefing up this line and putting players around me, and going back to a running offense—we were basically a passing offense last year—that will be a cool thing.

I feel like if CJ played in a bigger market he'd get more recognition for being one of the biggest assholes in football

It's really too bad that they'll be under new management once the new owner is in Prison :(
Naaaaw. I'd rather Jimmy didn't go to prison but if he does I don't think It'll matter to much, pretty sure the team will stay within the Haslam family. As long as the team stays with the family that's really all that matters.
 
I don't know if other teams are doing this or not but Giants.com is live broadcasting Training Camp highlights. Showing off the big plays from the day of practice. There's some good stuff for those not attending camp:

http://www.giants.com/trainingcamp-highlights.html?s=133144

You can click back and forth throughout the timeline. Reuben Randle is having a heck of a day today. TD in the red zone and a 60 yard bomb from Eli. I really hope he grabs the 3rd WR spot and runs with it. I hated the swapping in and out of he and Dominik Hixon last year.

Five INT's in camp today for the defense. None by Eli, 3 by Curtis Painter and one each for Carr/Nassib.

I almost feel bad for the first couple of dozen guys you hit,” Brian Shannon, Cushing’s long-time chiropractor, told him in June.

Cushing didn’t laugh. It wasn’t a joke.
The Texans linebacker was cleared by his surgeon, James Andrews, and the team’s medical staff just in time for training camp, and is now easing back into football. But come Sept. 9, when Houston opens at San Diego on Monday Night Football, Cushing doesn’t want to be easing into anything.

DeFranco likened Cushing to a “caged animal” and offered evidence: In recent weeks Cushing set a lifetime best with a 52-inch seated box jump, and he dragged a 750-pound sled for 30 yards (part of that weight came from onetime Texans teammate Connor Barwin). “He’s dangerous when you give him something else to prove,” DeFranco said.

Both DeFranco and Shannon have worked with Cushing since he was a teen and say they’ve never seen him better primed for a football season. Cushing told Shannon that before he left Houston at the end of the team’s offseason program, the training staff put him through a battery of tests, such as one-legged broad jumps and jumps over cones, to check his strength and balance. Cushing’s surgically repaired left leg out-performed the right one each time, he said.

Since 2011, they rank second in the NFL in total defense and third in scoring defense with Cushing on the field. But in 11 games without him, they drop to 16th and 20th, respectively. His absence means opposing offenses average more than 60 extra yards and nearly seven more points.

Pretty telling stat line in that last quote. I still blame last years collapse on Schaub but the defense breaking down didn't help. The Mays signing has the potential to be really good. Mays will only be called to be a 2 down backer where he excels against the run. When Wade goes to nickel only Cushing stays on the field and they bring a safety in to play the other LB which will be Swearinger/Manning.

i mean like, the defense only gave up like 90 points to the patriots in 8 quarters, but like it was schaubs fault.

the whole team sucked towards the end of last year.
