Yeah, exactly what ColoradoHusk said.

He raised that his first day on the job. His gig is shaking hands, telling stories about "the good old days" playing golf and posing for pictures...oh and eating lunches. I will never take offense to what someone can earn...good for them and take every penny you can.

Yeah... How is this a "freaking joke"? It works.

I bet you'll be starting Ladarius Greene ahead of Pitta, but I like them both.

I knew I was going to wind up light at RB since I went Brees/Dez first two picks. Good thing is our league has only one strictly RB slot. Hoping Ellington busts out, Ridley fumbles enough to get cut, Shonn Greene is less than mediocre the weeks I plug him in, etc...

I should mention it is a .5 pt PPR league. That's why I waited and got Ellington/Vereen.

Was having a decent day too till that happened

Bo doesn't know the status of guys after two or three days. How does he know after twenty minutes?

Damnit to f'ing hell. When it rains it pours.

I was thinking Mike Mcqueary

Roger Goodell, you guys

Lol. Thank you Zoogies.

Or in severe cover his ass mode

Jay's is probably one of the toughest QBs though.

smokin jay knows qb mechanics

I agree. I don'tthink it would be unacceptable to fire him now. But, if what I thought mattered, he would already be gone.

I find conversations with myself are extraordinarily helpful in maintaining my sanity, Moiraine.

Agree/disagree with my premise?

Hey...

Have you ever had a pillow fight with those guys? They take no prisoners.

That story was tough to read.

Some lucky NU coed needs to thank Pelini and co. For their inability to land this recruit.

Those defense lawyers should be slapped in the face

Didn't L. Ron Hubbard start the Church of Bracketology?

You been under a rock bro?

That's not new.

^^^ Winner, winner chicken dinner!

Fogle

Fogle and Cosby is a close second. Anything with kids is #1 no. Raping women is a very close 2nd.

Michigan takes the lead 10-7

Harbaugh Watch 2015. It begins

It will be interesting to hear the media takes on Harbaugh's hissy fits on the sideline. Shades of Bo?

You don't have a good Cox package?

Cox package.......2 words that probably shouldn't be used together.

Sausage?

I mean Advent! Or Ramadan. Whichever will clear my name

So, do you guys invite GSG to the tailgates? I'd feel pretty uneasy about it.

I'm thinking about going strictly Vegans...

Guy grew up in gangland. I was hoping football here would have provided him an opportunity to stay away from that life.

Ricky had an ESPN gameday special a few years back detailing how he could essentially never go home because he'd be killed. He's still outrunning his demons.

He seems pretty well off in Lincoln. Let's hope he gets straightened out. I like this guy a lot.

An omnibus of oddballs....

A festival of freaks....

Haha! Nice, JJ.

That's just wrong. lol

I can fap to that

Please let M. Night Shyamalan direct it...

Man, the WaPo newsletter had some incredible stuff this morning.

TIL

I'm sure there are many people who are catatonic that the monkey died.

Dang. I feel like he needed to score on that pick...

Should've run a sweep there, IMO. After seeing your ballcarrier get chopped down multiple times trying to get the edge, why do you send him there with no lead blocker??

No matter, he still loves you.

What's the point? Like we don't get enough of this crap when there's a reason for it.

Yet we watch bowl games where there's nothing on the line except pride and a crappy $50 trophy.

Yep. I don't even need pride or a crappy trophy on the line to pick football over listening to politicians, who have f'd things up, tell us how to fix those very things that they have failed to fix already. They're good at talking but suck at actually doing anything. Complete waste of time to listen to them imo.

Jessica Beal *drools*

*YOUNG* Jessica Beal. *more drool*

I get the Beal drool, but not a good baseball movie.

Best of luck to him.  He will get to see the best defense in the league everyday to sharpen his skills.  Hope he does well.  Has all the tools

Honestly if there was a team Lee could actually challenge stick around with, it's the Jags. Bortles is pretty puketastic.

Seems about perfect haha.

@Moiraine Yeah that one hurt as an Eagles fan. It was a fun ride for a little bit though.

A lot of shade being thrown

My whole Twitter timeline is "I miss Dan Bailey" and I'm not even a Cowboys fan.

I miss Dan Bailey.

(Full disclosure: I had no idea. You guys are right. I forgot we were regular season champs a couple years ago. Still exciting to see them doing this well at this point in the season.)

I’m still hedging my excitement on this baseball season, they have played 3 teams who sit in the bottom of the conference standings, tied for 9th, 12th and 13th (no Wiscy baseball, so only 13 total teams). However, I am excited to see the freshman production so far and what the future holds 

This admittedly seems like a very good young crop of players. I heard the NET announcers mention we had a top recruiting class last year. You can really see some of these young bucks starting to shine on the field.

Pitching will take a hit next year but overall we should be very well set into the future.

I'd give it another decade before I approximate anything close to an adult

ZRod got it. We're... Michiganders now? Is that the correct terminology?

Yes. As stupid as it sounds...

Welcome to the murder mitten! Its a friendly place. My first greeting in downtown Detroit was some dude telling me to "walk on b!^@h" because I looked him in the eye as we passed.

Whereabouts in the mitten? I really enjoyed the few days I spent in the Kalamazoo area. Lots of good beer thereabouts.

This would be really cool: 

The Washington Mule Deer has a nice ring to it.

I think the team needs input from the Sioux, Cherokee, Commanche, Navajo, etc, and all of the other great tribes, more than they need pressure from corporate business leaders or my input.

Why? Don't get it. All they do is win. Plug in new parts and win. A testament to Chris Peterson. Having the best QB in college doesn't hurt either.

How bad would they beat Nebraska?

They wouldn't
