SI.com article on Julius Peppers

[TheSpecialJuan]

First Julius Peppers thrust his left hand into 338‑pound Donovan Smith’s chest and drove the Buccaneers’ offensive tackle backward. As Jameis Winston stepped up in the pocket, Peppers swiped his blocker aside and lunged for the quarterback, simultaneously wrapping his victim around the waist and using his right hand to tip the ball away for a strip-sack. It should have been a moment of absolute joy for the 37-year-old veteran of 16 years. The takedown, his 151st, moved the Panthers’ defensive end to No. 4 on the all-time list, past Chris Doleman, with only Kevin Greene (160), Reggie White (198) and Bruce Smith (200) ahead of him

Exactly why I kept my Peppers Jersey from his rookie season. I always wanted him to come back. Dude is a beast.

Peppers had gotten word of the accident and went quietly with his girlfriend, Claudia Sampedro, and mother, Bessie Faye. Kim remembers the visit, but Zack was a little hazy when the future Hall of Famer came by.

glad hes doing alright

Ya gotta go big guys.  Rookie move.  Us fellas don’t exactly get slimmer with age.  Just get the L-XL and if it’s too big throw on a hoody underneath.  Perfect winter gear.

Now go forth and share this knowledge with the elders.

I communicated with Pep through the collective unconscious to get him to come back.

Too late now, I'm sure my younger self wouldnt listen to older self anyway.

Well, now I feel like an asshole for talking so much poo about him when he left.  Turns out, as I get older I dislike the organization more and more.  I know the article is supposed to make you feel that way but still makes me feel blind.

Did the article end weirdly for anyone else? I feel like I was missing a second page, but could not find a link to one. It was a very abrupt ending to the article.

That is a great article, but what I find even more interesting is that in their 2018 mock draft, they have the Eagles and the Cheifs in the Super Bowl.

I'm not saying there's pictures of her without clothing out there.  But, I am saying there are pictures of her with a lot less clothing on.

Came in to type just that.  Well written, until the very end.
