Most underrated band of all time, Ive been sayin that for years. Had my ticket to see them at the old Boathouse in Norfolk, VA. Shannon passed 2 weeks before the show, absolute tragedy. FWIW, it was cocaine that killed him, not H...rep if I could, walt...

There was a really good artice in the 'Details' magazine annual music issue. Talked about how Shannon's death went almost unnoticed with Curt, Jerry and Bradley from Sublime all passing close to that time, and how over a year after he died there was still not a gravestone at his place of rest. The band said he wasnt doing coke when he died, but he did a bunch the night before. They all went into a restaurant for breakfast while Shannon said he was stayin on teh bus. When they got back to the bus all they saw were his dirty bare feet hanging off the bed, and he never woke up...

I know that they released a CD called Nico Blue, named after his son, after he was gone, and I thought I had heard there was a "greatest hits" not too long ago...

I met Shannon Hoon and one of the other guys, Rogers Or Brad Smith ...cant remember which one. Hoon of course stands out..

The Mississippi guys grew up with some friends of mine, and came by to visit at my friends apartment one night in Starkville.

Hoon was um...strange. Didnt say much. Too bad he danced too long with El Diablo.

    • When we drafted Luke, we already had Cam, Smith, Olsen, Stewart, Deangleo, Gross, Kalil, CJ, Hardy, Beason, TD, Gamble (and maybe more I'm forgetting), we had a lot of great pieces in place. Going pure BPA for a player with Luke's potential when the LB you already have is different when you already have all those pieces in place.  Our OL right now is probably in a better shape than that team and our RBs and TE have potential compared to proven vets back then, but after that, the 2012 roster was in a far better shape than we are right now. We need a #1 WR, DEs, LBs, DBs, C, and depending who you ask a QB.  Going BPA at pick #5 when that player is a DT and your current best player on either side of the ball is a DT, seems irresponsible. If he's the only player they like that high left, then you trade back and go with position of more need at a slot that makes sense for the player while adding other picks.  If you trade back and he falls because other teams don't need/want a DT, then you consider him at that point because of the value.    
    • This sounds like the same back and forth when we drafted a LB when we already had a LB or as mentioned prior back to back DLs. I want the BPA, if it is another DT so be it. (No not a kicker/punter for those people that think they are funny))
