Maybe I'm horrifically out of touch, but wouldn't you think it's incumbent upon the coaching staff to identify, acknowledge and address what's clearly a substance abuse problem in one of his players?

Call my answer Baltimore, hon! Because I say

I don't know if you guys have been following Bruce Willis' career of late, but over the last 2 years he's starred in over a dozen terrible direct-to-streaming "Geezer Teasers." Just to give you an idea of how many and their quality, here's his Rotten Tomatoes since 2020: No Score Yet Fortress: Sniper's Eye Robert (Character) - 2022 No Score Yet A Day to Die Alston (Character) - 2022 6% Gasoline Alley Detective Freeman (Character) - 2022 No Score Yet Vendetta Donnie Fetter (Character) - 2022 0% American Siege Ben Watts (Character) - 2021 20% Fortress Robert (Character) - 2021 No Score Yet Deadlock Ron Whitlock (Character) - 2021 0% Apex Thomas Malone (Character) - 2021 14% Survive the Game David (Character) - 2021 8% Midnight in the Switchgrass Karl (Character) - 2021 0% Out of Death Jack Harris (Character) - 2021 3% Cosmic Sin James Ford (Character) - 2021 20% Breach Clay Young (Character) - 2020 0% Hard Kill Chalmers (Character) - 2020 14% Survive the Night Frank (Character) - 2020 There's been a lot of speculation recently as to why, and some of the darker theories were confirmed yesterday when it was revealed that Bruce Willis has been diagnosed with Aphasia, and is retiring from acting. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/mar/31/bruce-willis-cognitive-state-report-aphasia-diagnosis It seems this glut of recent low-effort bombs may have been an effort to rake in as much money as possible for him and his family to live off for the rest of his days. It's an incredibly sad development, and I wanted to doff my cap and celebrate the career of one of the last great action movie heroes, and one of the first to make bald look cool!

I like it. Seems very retro; something about the combination of the block and script looks like something from the early 90s.

Not necessarily. Could trade a player or a future pick(s).

Good for him! Always liked Fox, even in his waning days as the Panthers coach. And at 67? Yeah, I'd say he's got a couple years on an NFL coaching staff left in him.

I'm not to thrilled at losing him. He was not starting caliber, but you could do a lot worse for a spell/backup MLB. And at least he knew the defense.

*Quoted wrong post.*

That will be telling. I get the feeling Fitt is making moves that a better for the team, and Rhule is making moves that are good for Rhule. Pickett is a reach at 6, so draft day will let us know who's really calling the shots.

If you took nothing away you don't know how to read between the lines, because there was a lot unsaid that spoke volumes. "They know this is a great place to live and this is a place that should be desirable." The very loud implication is that it isn't desirable. Acknowledging that they know it's not desirable for players is acknowledging that he knows the reason why. Leads me to believe it's no questions that Rhule's on the hot seat, and he not only has to win, but build a culture that's attractive to players. "The right way to build a team is to draft and develop." He followed that up by saying the best situation with a quarterback is to get "5 good years" out of them on their rookie contract, before they ask for the sky to re-sign, and then you don't have the cap space to build around them anymore. To me, that says he's not considering anyone who's not a day one starter at the QB position with our #6 pick. It's simply not cost-effective to spend a year developing a first rounder. If he's drafting a guy in the first round, he's going to want to plug him in day 1. If he's going to develop a QB, it will be someone in the later rounds. It's debatable how many guys in the draft this year are ready, or even capable of taking over the starting role from day 1. And when he said they're bringing in 30 guys, he specifically said QB and tackle. I've gotta think based on this conference we're leaning towards a tackle in the draft.

You're expending way too much energy on the team if you can bring yourself to hate the coach with a passion. I can't say I'm a huge fan, and I disagree with a lot of the moves he's made. I certainly won't shed a tear if he's replaced. But if he learns from his past mistakes and improves this year, I'm not against jumping on the Rhule bandwagon. I ultimately want what's best for the team, and I'd like to see us winning. So right now, I have to root for Rhule being able to make that happen.

I don't know much that translates to being an offensive lineman, but that move is incredibly difficult. Leg straight, and arms straight out instead of the much easier T-shape? He did it with such ease that he's either already a practicing yogi, or he's got body control the likes of which I've not seen.

Watched an interview with the drivers for their reaction to DTS, and not surprisingly, you must take it with a huge grain of salt. At the end of the day, it's dramatic television show. I think it's a great way to get an introduction to the sport, and learn about the drivers and teams, and the unique challenges they all face, and their different versions of what success means to them. But the drivers were pretty consistently saying was, "We're grateful to the show bringing more attention to the sport, and getting Americans interested, but it's almost entirely bullshit. They re-contextualize everything and try to manufacture drama and rivalries where none exist." Max Verstappen in particular refuses to take part now. It made me sad the show is made for American audiences. I long to see the non-existent European version of Drive to Survive that's more documentary. Kind of like if you ever watched the U.S. and U.K. versions of "Kitchen Nightmares." If not, this sums up the differences eloquently. https://screenrant.com/kitchen-nigthmare-us-vs-uk/

Can't believe Magnussen was unemployed a couple of weeks ago, to a P-5 yesterday. He's definitely one of the drivers I'll always root for; him and Ricciardo. How can you not like that guy? Overall, I think I'm a Sainz guy. I liked him in DTS season 1 at Renault, and S2 at McLaren. And him being on Ferrari, and his finish yesterday makes it pretty easy to be a fan. But what a race! That clutch safety car made the last 8 laps insanely competitive.

Not us! Not the South! Best fuging news I could have hoped for! Happy Friday everyone!

Ended up at a business dinner with a couple of Formula 1 fans last Friday, and they urged me to watch Drive to Survive on Netflix to get into it. Gotta say, it's pretty compelling. I definitely will be following along this season to get me through the Spring and Summer doldrums until Football season rolls around. The 2022 season starts this weekend in Bahrain, so will anyone else be watching the race Sunday? If so, who's your team and who's your driver?

Bump. Was an incredibly intricate scam. I kept watching episode 1 thinking, where's the con? I order for all of this to be a lie, it would have to be an extremely expansive, well thought out and perfectly executed ponzi scheme. And it turns out it was! And when the investigators go to his depressing ass flat in Israel and you see his hunchback mother, you realize how said and pathetic his real life was, and why he desired to get out of it no matter the cost. Also, note I watched it because I was familiar with the production company that made it. So if you liked this, you've got to watch Don't fug With Cats. Spoiler: it's not about cats. It's about the most vile, fuged up poo happening in the darkest corners of the Internet, and an insanely compelling murder mystery.

We're not getting Watson? On top of all my personal feelings about Watson which I won't belabor here, the amount of draft capital money he would cost would have hamstrung this team for the better half of a decade. We aren't close to contending. We have bad pieces, and bringing in one good piece isn't going to elevate the entire team. Rebuild the line, use the draft picks we're keeping to add developmental talent, roll with Sam, and leave our team in better shape for the next regime to take over next year.

Just throwing it out there; the last couple days, the threads created by Zod sound like the track list from an early 2000s post-grunge album. The Watson Thread Fair Warning Awkward That set would have brought the house down at Lollapalooza circa 2002.

Surprised to find that a lot of the same people who won't consider the guy who kneels are all in on the guy who rapes.

He got beat by Kyle Allen...

And I remain ready to cancel my Sunday Ticket subscription and free up my Sunday's. Your move Tepper.
