I think I'll be watchdog with my neighbor. If the idea to do cocktails themed to picks hasn't yet occurred to him, it will. Thinking champagne drink like a French 75 for Caleb. High proof bourbon drink for OL. If George himself prances up there, announces he took over the gm job, then says they're taking Mccarthy as he loves the way he takes notes, then it's bleach on the rocks.

Lot of smoke linking Dallas to Brian Thomas and AD Mitchell in the first

I think he has it upstairs, but today's nfl you got to have some kind of mobility and I don't mean you have to be a runner, but you can't be a statue. That's why I recently said if He got himself into good shape and worked with some kind of mobility and flexibility coach in this offseason so he can better avoid pressure pick up short yardage do some role outs, he could surprise and hold on to the job if he takes a 2nd year leap, but he would have to show he has some new tools in his tool box.

I wonder if he is still mad about the Dirty Birds beating the Vikings in the '98 NFCCG?

Ya and making bank. The owner has little to do with a winning football teams. MOF they basically screw it up when they get involved. Great examples. Patriots Chuck Fairbanks, Parcells and Jerry Jones. Just writing Fairbanks name makes my blood boil. It amazes me the players he drafted and how the Sullivan's ran him out of town. Here's one draft that pops in my head that relates to this year and a possible trade down. 1977 draft Ray Clayborn 16th pick Stanley Morgan 25th pick He was a part time WR in college, played RB. He saw the talent. Greatest WR in Pats history. Receptions:557 Receiving yards:10,716 Yards per reception:19.2 Touchdowns:72 Insane numbers Here's two more Jags he drafted, John Hannah and Mike Haynes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ADDED Now how many SB has Jones won after letting Jimmy Johnson go.

Apparently - the media keeps talking about this. But there were no negative results from the medical. Could they have been two injuries that ended his season - that were just a fluke at a young age? Perfectly healthy in two years at Washington. Taking hits - still playing. Didn't seem to bother him when he recovered. Media also said he was slow then runs a 4.5 40 lol. High IQ and lethally accurate throwing the ball. Washington's right side of the line got absolutely beat up in the natty. Not entirely his fault. Honestly - I think his stock is much higher in NFL circles than what the media is led to believe or know. I think if the Vikings are smart - and Maye is off the board at 2 - they let someone else make the Daniels/McCarthy mistake and take Maye without giving up a future 1. I dont see Penix falling past the Seahawks at worst. I think if he's still there at 13- he'll be a Raider. Sadly I do believe Daniels and McCarthy will go ahead of him come draft night. I think Bo Nix is the guy that falls. Not saying for sure he's not going in round 1. I don't think he should - but Denver could really trade down and use more picks and still get Nix at say 22-25 range.

Sorry but those who've watched Penix - the only thing I keep hearing is his injury history from 3 years ago - ignoring they may not even be relevant or something that hinders his career. Better prospect than Tua who got drafted top 5 with a hip replacement. Penix is #3 on my board behind only Williams and Maye. And I have Maye #2 based on upside/potential and that his flaws (footwork inconsistencies) are correctable in time. McCarthy is the toughest evaluation in my opinion. When he needed to throw the ball - dude would flat out drop a dime. Limited bc he ran the offense he was asked. The upside is there. It could go either way with him. I think at worst - he's an average QB - tier 2/3 - he's too smart not to carve out a career as a starter. But is he worth giving up multiple firsts? EHHHHHHHH - not entirely. I think anyone who takes Bo Nix or Jayden Daniels in round 1 is crazy. Just don't see the success. Oregon really made life easier for Nix. I keep thinking Kenny Pickett in Nix - maybe not even as good of a prospect. People can compare older prospects - but Nix and Pickett struggled and were healthy early on. Penix put Indiana on the map then got hurt as a true freshman. I somewhat compare Jayden Daniels to Tyrod Taylor - who knows if he even has Taylor's traits to stick around as a backup in the NFL long term though. Nix could be a late bloomer as a passer or he could be a long term backup like Chase Daniel. Either way - I wouldn't hedge my career as a GM or coach on either of the two. If the Commanders are smart - they take Maye and then draft a bunch of OL in rounds 2 and 3.

I bet Bears get all the revenue from stadium from Bears games. City would tax this or that. Other events probably not. The 2B investment, if that is still on table for a stadium they don’t own, probably takes away any lease payments in perpetuity or for 50 years or something.

Ya they're normally within range and have some solid alternatives to the round 1 selection. I didn't like their one prior where it has us converting Tyler Guyton to LG? Dude was raw as an OL - just can't see it as a first rounder. I think the Bucs will have a handful of players in mind for 26. - Both Centers/Guard prospects Jackson Powers Johnson and Graham Barton - Edge Rushers Latu and Chop Robinson (Jared Verse if he somehow slips) - Cooper Dejean - WR Brian Thomas (long shot) If somehow, someway, none of those guys are available - I think trading down is a real option. But I see one of those players a Buc after Thursday.

City/State can make virtually anything legal if they really want to get something done. They may have to pass something. People have thrown up hurdles before. Friends of park. Wrigleyville threw up hurdles for years. Not sure what legal tools they used. Landmark laws I think, something like that.
