Since when do youth fundraisers consist of "begging" on a corner??? What kind of entitlement are we teaching. I just passed a bunch of football players at an intersection with buckets asking for money. Not working for it or doing any service or fundraiser to earn it. Just begging for it. Im ashamed of the type of people our country has produced, its disgusting.

What are you talking about? They are being prepared for their futures.

My dad did this with his youth football teams in the seventies. Its not all fun and games - the kids have to wear uniforms and stand out there for a long time (kids are not really designed to do this all that well). The kids give up one full day instead of a weeks long sales drive, they don't have to bug all their relatives or go door to door selling crappy candy or magazines, and it all works out.

They made so much money that the church my dad coached for decided they needed to share the money because so many people contributed to them because people just love football. He decided to quit and take the program to the Boys Club where they didn't have to raise money that way anymore.

      Canes vs Bruins 7pm Halloween Edition!

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      As I said less than 10 minutes into the game, Boston looks nothing like we're used to seeing. Regardless, any curb-stomping of the Bruins is welcome.  The scorers all got the glory tonight, but all 6 D-men had excellent games. Across the board- Gost, Orlov, Chatty, Walker and, of course, Slavin & Burns.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      I just tried a few mock draft simulators and this is the only way lol. Nothing else makes sense.

      No, biggest weakness is pass rush, but I don't think there is a blue chip can't miss DE prospect to take at #1 this year, same as with QB.  But beyond that, moving forward, yea WR is a pretty damn big weakness. We have 1 game this season over 224 yards passing and just traded away our best WR (who wasn't going to re-sign here anyways).  That WR no longer on the team was also the only player we've had this year who had over 78 yards receiving in a game.  So again, yea, WR is one of our biggest weaknesses even right now, let alone moving into the future. As I just said in my other post, I love Legette, but he's not going to be a Top 5-10 WR type of guy, Top 15-20 I can see, I think he can be a good #1 WR or an elite #2. After that, what do we have for the future?  Thielen isn't part of it, sure as hell isn't going to be Mingo, and as much as we all like Coker, in no world is Coker as our #2 to Legette as the #1 going be considered as "having weapons" at WR, even with Brooks and Sanders. But put someone like T-Mac into that group, who I genuinely think is going to be a Top 5 WR in this league for a long time, and it changes things.  A Top 5 WR with Legette/Coker as the 2/3, along with Brooks and Sanders, has the potential to be one of the best set of offensive weapons in the league if they reach their potential.
