D.J. Swearinger not really sure if Cravens can re-enter the locker room or not
February 21, 2018
by Jamual Forrest
Immediately upon arrival at Redskins facilities, D.J. Swearinger took over the locker room as the definitive and vocal leader of the Redskins defensive group. He tried to establish a mindset and style of play that had been somewhat lost for an extended period for Washington. He succeeded, for the most part, the Redskins established their own “No Fly Zone” and took each week’s match-up personally. Swearinger and linebacker Mason Foster were, at least publicly, the two leaders of the locker room in 2017 and their public thoughts typically reflected how a good portion of the locker room felt at a given period.
In Swearinger’s first season in Washington, he and others had to deal with a situation that most professional football players never dealt with before in their career. Second-year safety Su’a Cravens quit and left the team following the completion of the 2017 pre-season, for reasons that were not apparent to some directly impacted by the decision. To this day, fans, his teammates, and even coaches who counted on him after the long and demanding pre-season still do not have a reason or explanation from Cravens. The void he left, and the way in which he left the team, followed by no explanation, has D.J. questioning if he is even sure if Craves will be welcomed in the locker room.
D.J. Swearinger was interviewed earlier this week on NFL Network’s “NFL Total Access”, and the Su’a Cravens question was brought up.
Swearinger was asked if Cravens can essentially just realistically re-enter the locker room, or whether too much has transpired. Swearinger responded: “I don’t know, as a competitor, you want to see a guy put in the work that you put in as well, so there’s no “if, and’s, or buts” about it. Whatever the case was with his situation, whether it’s off the field issues or mental, as a player I could understand it, if I hear it from him. A guy that loves the game plays the game with the passion I do; I just have to have an explanation on why.”
That last statement by Swearinger prompted the follow up to confirm on whether or not he had that explanation of why, Swearinger stated “No I haven’t, that’s something I would like to know, the full truth behind it because we do not play this game for long. NFL players, if you really love the game, you would be out there doing your best for the game.”
What you get out of these statements, and even those of Mason Foster’s from a week ago, is the raw truth of the matter. These are not sugar-coated or made to believe that Cravens teammates understand or will immediately accept him when he returns to the team. Cravens is in a situation where he has to mend fences through his actions, through his words, and through his play on the field. For Cravens, his second season is not off to a great start, but will it end with the opinions of those who matter, changed and for the better? Time will tell.
We’ve got an interesting poll up for this weeks show, my response isn’t what you’d suspect.

More soccer please!
Finally, the reskins aren’t the only DC sports team pissing off their fans:
https://twitter.com/Barra_Brava/status/966541804580597760
Just curious how are the Redskins pissing off their fans?
That’s like asking for all the different ingredients in a good Molé sauce. Note for food illiterate, of the 100’s of variations, some have up to 30 ingredients.
If you don’t realize skins fans have been pissed off the last 10 years by the teams actions off and on the field you’ve not been paying attention.
I mean, a whole thing was written about it in 2012.

Just curious who the fuck cares about DC soccer?
DC has a soccer team? Huh.

I could really go for a Conan re-boot. But not the CGI fest mess that was the one with Jason Momoa, you have to minimize the special effects to get the right feel of the classic.
Just avoid accidentally cutting off anyone’s fingers like they did in the original.
I fly both during the Winter Games, USA flag larger and higher of course. Norway has 35 medals, so umm…
Well as long as you’re obeying flag protocol. As a person who does live events for the government, I can’t stand when I see flag protocol broken.
Flag shmag. I’ll fly it on my house, car, hoodie or in the office all I want. But if you kneel you’re a piece of shit
– Merica
House fine
Car fine
hoodie – violation
office fine
was being facetious. Pretty sure most aren’t following protocol with retiring them every day at sun down and following other protocol items

FYI…
“The question of assault weapons was not addressed by the Supreme Court when, in 2008, it held for the first time in District of Columbia v. Heller that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm. Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the court, went out of his way to say that the right “is not unlimited.”
In each case that has reached a federal appeals court since then, bans on the semiautomatic guns known as assault weapons have been upheld, usually for the same two reasons.
Banning them, the courts have said, does not curtail the right of self-defense protected by the Constitution. There are plenty of other weapons — handguns and regular long guns — available to individuals to protect themselves.
At the same time, the courts have said, states and municipalities have legitimate reasons to ban AR-15-style weapons because of the dangers they pose, to schools, innocent bystanders and police.”

We’re not talking about guns.
About what?
Mr. Steve is gonna give you a spanking.
I suspect that some folks up here like the rough stuff.
heeheehee
stevie’s spanking, by frank zappa:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTDjhEp0BvM
the lyrics are pretty funny. the “stevie” is steve vai. he plays the first solo. listen to it all, or just skip to around 2:35 for the solo.
why do AR style weapons pose a special danger?
is it because they look cool, and when you’re a bit on a crazy rip for a few weeks, the image of you walking through those doors Rambo style is the problem?
because if you wanted to do damage, why not fly a drone into the HVAC intake with some toxic gas?
or shoot em up with semi auto pistols and shotguns?
what makes the “AR-15” and the “assault rifles” so special? Is it really “image”? They want to look like the military?
When I was a kid in the 60’s and 70’s, people had 2nd amendment rights, some of them had handguns and others hunted. Nobody cared, and there were no mass shootings, because assault-style weapons were largely nonexistent.
Somewhere along the line that changed, and it’s too bad.
A lot of things changed. Read a good article that someone posted in the NYT, how one of the things that we need to do the most is re-teaching young men how to deal with life, that in the last few decades that’s become a lost part of our culture.

The #Redskins top-two picks this century have been left tackles.
But which of them earned the top spot in our rankings? http://bit.ly/2C8BmbX
———
We say it all the time on the show, I can’t think of any other NFL team who’s had a better string of LT’s
Jacoby 81-88, then he moved positions for Lachey 88-95, then 5 years (lets pretend they didn’t happen, Chris Samuels 2000-2009, Trent 2010-now.
Let’s hope it continues… cause Trent ain’t long for that spot
I’ve felt like we should have drafted a left tackle the last two drafts… Trent is damn good, but father time is undefeated…
Btw, didn’t ask but how’d you like Kenny Wells? Haven’t seen him in a few years. Does he still have the pony tail?
He never showed up. Had the flu. His receptionist was supposed to call me to pick up some financials… never heard from her again.
ugh. sorry. the deli you are/were interested in, my friend would like to talk to you about if you’re still interested. Turns out, he’s now working at Coastal Bus. Brokers. Just lemme know if I can pass on your # to him. He owned it, now is at CBB
Yea, Kenny was telling me about him. I was trying to get all the financials for it. Without those I can’t really make any type of informed decision. I’d love to talk to him about it but I have to have at least the P&L for the last 3 years… preferably 5. I would like to talk to him. Feel free to pass along my info
Will do my friend. He can’t stayed retired! lol
I don’t understand that… I’m ready to retire NOW
You have to have a hobby or you’ll go back to work or die. just that simple. I’ve witnessed this the past 22 years in my profession. You fish, hunt etc… he doesn’t.
I’ll pass on your cell # to him now if that’s ok?
Yes, go ahead. Please do
TWill’s only 29. He should have a good 4-5 yrs. left in him.
When’s the last time he played a full season? Dude ain’t getting any younger
He missed games in ’16 due to suspension. Maybe one due to injury?
Trent has only played 2 full seasons… and the last time was in 2013
facts and all… NOILRMOT DC
that’s foolhardy to assume he’ll play 4-5 more years imo.
he might if he shifts to guard..
I think you don’t invest heavy draft capital in a new LT until the writing’s on the wall.
except maybe when your LT is a possible anchor at LG, extending his pro bowlership another 4-5 seasons?
Slow Day
Damn offseason
Buck decided last night that we’re going to pause football for a while and instead talk about women we’ve been with and the console TVs we banged them on way back in the day. Or, something.
I thought it was country rap ?
Not enough data to maintain a conversation about that.
kon, for now • an hour ago
I’ve watched and listened for decades while the right wing has attacked teachers. Now suddenly, they want to give the teachers sidearms.
_______________________________
This is typical of the lefts deliberate misrepresentation to stoke division. The right attacks teachers unions (and look at the unfunded pension liabilities and the inability to fire poor or abusive teachers whose unions get them reassigned to rubber rooms in California to see why) and the Department of Education for wasting billions of dollars while the quality of education appears to be eroding.
Guess I thought better of you…
though, in part, actually a large part of the quality of education is related to parenting, and how prepared / disciplined the children are when they arrive at school. I mean, kids are kids, but there’s a limit. Both my wife and my sister moved on from teaching within a few years of getting their license. My wife didn’t want to deal with children that public schools no longer give the admin tools to deal with, and well, my sister was a special ed teacher, and I think did that for like 2 years, then moved on to greener pastures… just bought herself a BMW M5 for her birthday, dangit.
I don’t disagree at all with the parenting point. I have quite a few family members and friends that are teachers and have heard some crazy stories about parents… bunch of damn enablers.
every one of their children “not at fault”
I blame women.
There is no job harder than Special Ed teacher. My grandfather was one, used to come home with blood on his shirt regularly, my mom was one as well, it’s a hard gig.
90% of federal education money is given to the states, for things like Special Ed, lunch programs for low income, and general public, student loans for example.
You want to shrink the budget, you need the states, to start pulling their weight, they are the ones who are drains on the federal budget.
or, drop some of the programs.
I think it was half of it was that she’s (was at the time) high maintenance and she got paid a lot more working for a real estate firm, then has since moved on two own her own business and be a partner in another. So, maybe not the best example.
See, in Arlington where my mom taught, she made a very good living as a special ed teacher, in the 6 figures range. But Arlington always paid teachers very well which is why their school system is one of the best nationally.
high pay does not equate to best scores by children…smdh
Not always, but it helps keep the best teachers in the system, and allows them to poach good teachers from places that don’t pay as well like PG county.
I certainly don’t claim to have all the answers… but it’s clear that some things aren’t working
Graduation rates nationally were at a high last year. Things like SAT scores have been going up consistently since the 80’s, they dropped to the lowest some time around then.
There are actually some really good signs in education.
One of the first things I learned when I was in Poli-sci classes is that there’s nothing harder to do than to “fix” a failing school system, because it takes more than a generation to actually see results. If we went to the worst public school system in America and solved every problem, any kid who’s been in that system for 5-10 years already, it’s too late to help them. So after 3 years, you will still see low test scores, high rates of dropping out, and all the other typical issues, after that parents get mad, fire anyone in charge they can, and we start over.
I attended a high school that used their special Ed kids to perform school maintenance, picking up trash, raking leaves, ect. I actually got threatened with suspension for questioning the Assistant Principal about it. He was very defensive, lol.
Wow…
We never saw them in a classroom, just doing work. They probably laid off a janitor and got a nice bonus for it.
Hopefully they learned a useful skill… but that just isn’t right.
I mean, there’s that, but trying to at least teach social skills would have been prudent, IMO, else you end up with a bunch of “lawnmower men”.
In southern California we call those “undocumented immigrants”
The special Ed kids have no chance, then.
That’s fucked up man.
Yeah
In the mid 80’s when I was in elementary school they wanted to stick me in special ed just because I was deaf in one ear. Eventually they realized that deaf doesn’t mean mentally disabled. Weird thing was they did that to my mom too in the 60’s because she had scoliosis.
But that’s the way special ed worked for most of early American education, if they found anything was wrong with you they just stuck ya in a closet somewhere.
^It wasn’t just because you were deaf in one year. That may be what they told you, but….
Well because of the being deaf part my grades were really bad at one point, last name Z they stuck me in the back of the classroom, so I didn’t pay much attention.
They did an IQ test to try and keep me in there, found out my IQ was something like 120 so they put me back in the general population.
Damn, treating them like DUI convicts.
They attack teachers. Teacher’s unions. Education. Curriculum. Published materials.
They go at the entire system.
And have been, as I said, for decades.
So let’s give those union liberal atheist teachers guns! Great idea!

I thought he died?
She, ran off to the jungle after the battle with the indominus-rex
listening to the yesterday pod of TBL (Mike’l Severe) this morning
Host: so who’s the best QB in this draft?
Dan Shonka: by far it’s Baker Mayfield.
… yada yada… second is Rosen, but the concussions concern, but he’s accurate.
Host: What about Allen?
Dan Shonka: he can’t hit a bull’s *** with a handful of peas
…
He also thought Denver was the best spot for Cousins, but I think people sleep on how good the Jets could be. They will have a good D, that’ll be focus for coach, and they’ve got some injured guys like Enunwa coming back.
If and when the Gruden HC period comes to an end I think we need to build that way, get a defensive minded head coach, just find a decent OC and 1-2 weapons on offense to work with.
I just think you need to have the right coaching, with chemistry and understanding. And I’m going to guess Patricia is going to be available as a DC in about 3 years
When was the last time we had a defensive minded coach?
Petitbon, Schottenheimer.
needless to say, Shonka: NOT a fan of Allen
he does think L Jackson could go as early as late 1st to 3rd round, currently has him mocked to Buffalo in first round
I’ve watched and listened for decades while the right wing has attacked teachers. Now suddenly, they want to give the teachers sidearms.
Weird!
I think more accurately stated, the right-wing has attacked the National Education Association. Not teachers per se.
National, State, Local… they attack any and all public education.
I think they think that in the longer run the system would benefit from competition, and they prob also think that might cut gov budgets a tick. They don’t really hate teachers, they just don’t like the paradigm they are in. In the same way, if you mixed up the gov’t paradigm a bit and had everyone that got hired as a Fed ostensibly on a 6 year (just throwing that number out there) contract (based on time of hire, having nothing to do with POTUS or Congressional terms– still got that separation) they would feel better about that, and I’m NOT sure that wouldn’t benefit a lot of people professionally. It doesn’t sound like it would, and in most cases, it prob would still result in many people getting rehired for the same thing every six years, but it would also help with a lot of issues that the gov has.
But that doesn’t mean you have to hate people or unions. It can just mean you don’t like when comfortable people get in the way of optimization. But a good kick in the buttocks to get people out of their comfort zone for a LOT of the population would be a good thing. We have too many people who are sitting comfortably while a entire class of people in China, India, etc., are (professionally) hungry. And if WE want to do something for Americans? Bringing reasonalble amounts of hunger to the public sector may not be a bad thing. The problem is, you can’t get anything done when there are only two opposite poles screaming at each other.
YOU HATE BROWN PEOPLE, TEACHERS, SCIENCE, AND RAP MUSIC!!!! HATECRIME!
YOU HATE BALANCED BUDGETS, AND LOVE YOURSELF SOME MYOPIA!!!
COMPASSION!
PRAGMATISM and WISDOM!
What’s funny is, the Virtue in the Wasteland podcast pointed out that both political parties are rooted in basic Christian theology (like it or not, and recognizing the context of their POV) but they have handpicked pieces of it for sort of a subreligion out of it.
And that in theory would make sense if they weren’t constantly trying to flat out cut funding, ban teaching of particular subjects reading particular books, (that’s all local level stuff).
In terms of competition, it’s the democrats who’ve been all about using charter schools as a way to promote competition, though there is a deep flaw in that plan, “oops this school failed” is fine from a corporate perspective, but still means you have 100’s of kids who are fucked over when a school fails.

I remember back in the day with Glen Campbell, the Eagles, Jackson Browne and a few other artists there was huge debate over what genre they were rock, country, pop
Linda Ronstadt
yep half the Eagles started out as her backup band
I know it . She was smoking hot back then and had a set of pipes on her . She could sing her ass off
I heard Glenn Frye’s son is now playing with them . I don’t know if he takes his dads place or what his role is .
She’s nutty as a fruitcake now and looks awful .
Crazy political views . I mean way out there .
saw her at Cassell Coliseum in late 76 or early 77
wore boy scout shorts and a sheer yellow top sans bra
Never seen her live but I love her you tube videos . God bless you tube.
did Tumbling Dice, Desperado, Blue Bayou and bunch other songs
Great songs .
Great music . I love the Eagles .
Not the Eagles but here’s the best version of Seven Bridges Road. The Eagles “borrowed” it from Ian. Mike Nesmith formerly of the Monkee’s was the arranger and shared some of the vocal harmonies.
https://youtu.be/9-sQfOIXGb8
Listening . You taught me something . Never knew .
And now….now there’s country rap. Or whatever the hell it’s called.
Even Hank Williams 3 tried that garbage. Pitiful.
Oh God dude . He’s terrible I think . Awful.
Like “somebody slap him before peeps realize who his daddy is” bad.
he’s an embarrassment I think . Pops can’t be proud of that I wouldn’t think .
When you get some time , I want you to google “The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Va” and check out the parts with Hank 3. Do it when you have spare time . Watch all of it actually.
I would post it here but it’s that bad . You just have too see it .
I’ll try.
It’s crazy . Sorry ass trailer trash but it’s entertaining. Real people .
They got some real Meth holes up there.
This family is legendary in WV. Boone Co, WV.
He can’t sing anything in my opinion . Its not just the rap that’s bad , It’s all of it . Damn if he doesn’t look like Hank Sr though . Has some of his mannerisms too.
Yeah, somebody gave me a CD some years ago and I tried to listen to it. Fail
There are a couple guys that are pretty decent at that . Even I can listen to it .
Down a dirt road, on a tailgate, with a bottle of clear, ect….?
You talking about Jason Aldean.
They all have a song like that, lol. Which one is the fat guy that actually raps?
There’s one guy and his name is escaping me . It’s more rap than Aldean . Kinda cool actually .
Colt Ford
No , but some of his stuff ain’t bad . Younger guy , I can’t come up with it tight now
Bubba Sparxxx?
Or however you spell that shit…
I’d have to look that up. never heard of him
The boys have all that shit, I can’t keep up.
I bet they do .
The youngest one rode down to the house this evening to help me unload a new refrigerator, had a new led light bar on his truck that could probably be seen from space. Remember the old wheat lights we used to have with the big-ass battery, lol, those days are long gone.
I’ve seen them . they go all the way across the top of the front windshield ? Them things light up the world at night .
Yeah, and of course he’s clownin’, turns it on coming up the driveway… daylight.

I like that pimp character he does . Cracks me up
Chang chang chong talk
Oh that’s just briliant
His Netflix specials were funny too.
Cross country gold for the US women!
That was yesterday, right? Team sprint?
They just showed the race on TV. Commentator was losing his shit.
We were calling him Romo
I can’t read and discus Vita Vea and the draft everyday . Won’t hold my attention . Gotta have the jibba jabba sometimes . Music , women I may have had in my youth , Soul Train , Hee Haw , and console TV’s .

There it is . Muffled sound and squiggly lines included
Music, women, guitars –
https://youtu.be/NHaqvoHvFic
Not bad . Never heard it before
She’s doing it ! I like it
I’d never heard of her before, either. Was listening to an internet radio station and thought I was listening to Jimi or Robin Trower.
She’s tearing it up .
I can’t read and discus Vita Vea…
—————
Shut your mouth!
Not just him , the mocks in general , but it is a FB blog .
Can’t deny it gets … repetitive.
I don’t follow the mocks either so …. I don’t know the majority of the players until after they get drafted . then I start to learn . Unless its a guy from Va Tech or a big name guy elsewhere , I don’t have a clue .
I was fairly sure Fuller was going to end up being a good one , for example . His character and work ethic , I knew about . Of course he struggled year one so I just kept my mouth shut .
Like KC for instance , good lord . Nothing else to say at this point , except where he might land . I’m just as guilty on that .
That shit was old two years ago.
all of Carolina Forest is great for families. The schools are good and lots of recreational opportunities. The beach is close too!
nice area
IDK , but I would think the cost of living is quite a bit lower than southern California . I’m sure you know and are probably excited about that . I would be .
I’m just sick of the commies always having their hands in your pockets. Plus… I don’t want my son being raised in the “whatever I feel like” moral code.
I don’t blame you . The illegal immigrant madness would be enough to drive me crazy . Nutty politicians .
I think her name is Harris ? She was talking some crazy shit regarding illegals and California the other day . It was insane .
Kamala Harris? She’s an awful person and a laughable politician.
yes . idiot .
That’s being polite
I’ve even heard of that . Not sure how but it will come to me .
yep Garth Brooks and Shania Twain destroyed traditional country music
Who didn’t see that coming
No lie…kinda embarrassed bout it, but Garth’s Two of A Kind Workin On A Full House song was my go-to karaoke song when I was buzzed back in the day. funny memories there

The host’s voice was iconic
ha ha . Year before I graduated HS . Rick James
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdVAH8Z5O90
That’s just great . Funniest dude on the comedy channel by a mile .
Man the real Rick James got fat as shit and that long hair . Hilarious
Met him quite a few times back when I lived in Yellow Springs. Back when I was drinking… he had a nickname for me… that drunk guy. Thought it was funny back then. Not so much anymore… but I was that drunk guy
No kidding . I bet he was funny as hell.
Meh… in everyday life he was just an everyday guy. We had a drink or 2… maybe smoked a jay or 2… allegedly.
right
He’s a pretty laid back guy
Hope u enjoyed your visit
It was nice. I got some things I have to work out before I make some final decisions. We’re leaning Myrtle Beach simply because I think 1) it’s more like a small town than Charleston and 2) it’s growing and the opportunity there should be great for new business over the next 20 years.
Kind of wish I was at the decision point… there was a house your wife showed me that I would buy right now if I had all my business wrapped up here. I’m sure it will be gone before we’re actually ready.
In Avalon?
She knows the real estate market very well.
Yep… that’s the one. Love that neighborhood. She told you about it huh?
Sounded nice
I think you’re correct.
That pimp character he plays makes me cry tears almost from laughing . Cigarette bouncing around in his mouth
I’m sorry I missed you this go around Scamp hope you enjoyed your stay.
No worries… didn’t really have much free time anyway. We’ll see you plenty I’m sure…
Anyone have a favorite internet radio station? I like an eclectic mix. My current list of stations is:
Radio Paradise – mostly indie/alternative rock
JiveRadio.org – Tends to Americana, non-Nashville country, everything from Django Reinhardt to Frank Zappa, and everything in between. No metal or rap.
WYEP – Pittsburgh. Style all over the map depending on the DJ.
Interesting. Scot scored well. Bruce and Vinny … not so much.

That looks worth completely ignoring
Always best to judge without investigating.
When you post it that’s a guarantee
I stand by my analysis of his performance here in DC.
Worst music you were forced to watch on TV
Lawrence Welk. Pure torture .
Hee haw
Sha na na
Soul Train
I can hear that guys voice on Soul Train now . The host .
I wasn’t actually forced to watch any of this stuff. It’s just old music based shows I remember seeing at some point
I don’t know about forced , but if you wanted to watch TV it was that or you didn’t watch . That was Saturday night .
Hey, when there are only 3 channels on the TV you gotta watch something
Exactly and you had to get up to change it. five hundred dollars worth of wood surrounding the screen
Heavier than the fridge
We had this hi fi thing one time that played records and had speakers inside this massive wooden cabinet . It was long and about two foot wide .
all full of static , sounded like shit
My mom is 85 and she is in there on her lap top face booking every night , Can only imagine what she must think
She believes everything she reads on there too. Always telling me about some crazy political BS . Martians are taking over Arizona because she read it on the net or at facebook .
Shit , we loved that !! ha ha .
SHOCKING!
It was corny and goofy as crap . Had some good musicians though
Name a musical variety show from the 70s and I ran from it
Good move . Sonny and Cher
All these years later, I still can’t handle musical or showtunes.
isn’t Mary Chapin Carpenter from the area
Her and Emmy Lou Harris
Roberta Flack?
IDK about that
Played at Mr. Henry’s, IIRC.
IIRC?
IIRC = If I Remember Correctly
Oh. Lol
Round 1 Pick 17 (LAC): Vea, Vita, DT, Washington (A)

You had me at Vita.
I’ve soured on Vita at 13 at this point. Love Guice in round 2.
Never thought Vita was a top of round 1 pick but ALWAYS liked him. Was hoping he was going to come out last year and we could get him in the 2nd.
He dropped to 17 for a 2nd and a 3rd
Ah, didn’t notice the pick was at 17 instead of 13.
Yea, sure… we’re gonna drop a few spots for a second and a third. That’s realistic.
two separate trades, but yes
Anyone remember DC’s own Tex Rubinowitz?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjspZx17Mnc

can’t help you
Hal Ketchum has an amazing voice
So did Jim Nabors
small town Saturday night
Are we just naming random bands at this point? Or was there a topic?
I want to know which of Rick’s relatives had to watch him and played all that music when he was a kid.
So the theme was random bands Rick had to listen too?
Jerry Garcia
Brilliant songwriter… not a great singer
Guitar?
Good jam band guitarist and songwriter… on the guitar

You’re rockin’
Steve mentioned Garth Brooks below.
I don’t believe any one person is more responsible for the down fall and popiness of country music as that guy.
His first album was pretty traditional country, though, to be fair.
13 year old girls who were once New Kids on the Block fans were fans of his
nuff said
I know the guy has made more money than the next 5 generations of Brooks can ever spend . He made more money than Michael Jackson for a few years . He was all over the world
I’m sure he had quite a collection of first spotted panties
I gave that the thumbs down if you noticed
I’m sure
RUSH
Great musicians… awful singing voice
Yes — underrated band.

You’ve gotta remember the 80’s son’
I really hated a lot of those 80s bands.
I didn’t to a rock band list, but I thought Steve Perry is a bit too much of a crooner to make my top 10 rock vocalists list.
WAR
anybody remember Dr Hook ? The Cover Of The Rolling Stone ?
Yes.
always liked them. When you’re in love with a beautiful woman…
Gonna buy five copies for my mother….
Dr Hook, KC and the Sunshine band and Foreigner was my first concert. It was a Toys for Tots show at the Cap Center.
CCR
You bring them up every music discussion . Good music though I agree
Top 5 in my book…I listen to them at least once a week.
I guess they don’t all slip through the cracks.
https://twitter.com/ABC7Kevin/status/966017884047773698
Imagine that… someone paid attention.
About damn time
Ronnie Milsap???…a favorite of my grandmothers
Freakishly talented .
Yeah..crossed over a bit tho’
Yeah , that’s because his voice just transcended over so naturally .
No Glen Campbell?
No Randy Travis?
No Elvis?
I intentionally left Elvis off my rock vocalist list because I just can’t stand to listen to him.
Damn , Randy Travis …..that’s a real good one Rick . Campbell was good in my opinion but his genre bordered on pop a touch
Man, Glen Campbell is pop? You really are old school country, Buck.
What do you expect from a man named “Buck”….LOL
Name is Glenn ironically
LOL…I was gonna ask if “Buck” was your real name.
No , ha . I had to listen to the half that stuff growing up. That’s all the folks would play .
8 track tapes
Well….you know . He was different but super talented .
Top tem country male vocalist
George Jones
Merle Haggard
George Straight
Hank Williams
Keith Whitley
Randy Owens
Alan Jackson
Conway Twitty
Vern Gosden
Hank Jr
Waylon Jennings
Where’s Kenny Rodgers?
Shame!
Not even close . Pop singer
You’re full of shit!
No . You don’t want to challenge me on this . Trust me .
BOOM!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kg-T64xrx30
You’re killing me
Charlie Pride?
Great singer for sure
Charlie Pride – a classic and a groundbreaker.
Yes
Willie Nelson?
Definitely . Johnny Cash as well . I don’t know if I could fit them in my top ten
Garth Brooks?
Hell no .
How about Toby Keith? Is he too poppy for your taste?
He has some great stuff , especially military themed stuff .
Stuff like “Red Solo Cup ” is lame to me though
How about Aaron Tippin? He’s old school.
Yeah he is . He’s OK . good dude , average voice
He’s a close friend of my mom and dad, that’s why I brought him up.
Is the guy still in great shape ? He was jacked up for years .
did a lot for the military . I think his dad was in the military , you would probably know
He loves the military, and he’s a big private pilot. He donated 100% of his profits from “Stars and Stripes” to veteran’s causes. My dad originally met him when Aaron was trying to get a private runway put in at his ranch and he needed my dad to get it done.
I knew he was a huge military guy . I guess he has done well if he wanted his own runway !
Yeah, it’s less ranch and more “estate”. He’s loaded. He had good deals with labels and then went independent several years ago. Makes alot of money playing gigs. Also owns a gun shop in the Nashville area.
Yeah, he still looks like that.
The funny thing about him is that if you’re just sitting and talking to him, his country accent isn’t nearly as thick as it comes across in his music.
I think he was from SC .
Roy Orbison. Where does he fit in? Country? Rock-and-roll?
Rock n Roll I think . Like Elvis .
Brooks and Dunn, Doug Stone
Ronnie Dunn has a phenomenal voice . Underrated voice .
I always liked Doug Stone’s song, Better Off In a pine box.
Yeah , he was good . Travis Tritt is one my favorites that I left off
Don’t forget Bowzer!
hilarious interview with steve vai about his tryout for frank’s band, when he was 20:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx1RguHA4XE
“oh, i hear linda ronstadt is looking for a guitar player…”
hahaha
i don’t know how you can have a list of great rock singers w/o having freddie mercury on it.
He was #2 on the list below, behind Robert Plant.
oops… sorry. i see it now.
Can’t have a talk about greatest vocalists of all time and not drop Dee Snyders name in there.
What? You know it’s true!
Fingers in ears …..la la la la
Sebastian Bach?
You know what, I forgot all about him. He belongs in the top 10, without a doubt.

The new Jeep Wranglers (JL) are sweet. I want one.
I see you in a Chevy Trax. Well no, you’re older so…the Buick Encore.
Redskins Nation has an actual team scout on the show .
Yeah, and this place gets Slick Rick….
J/K!
a guy named Matt Evans . Young guy , couldn’t be no more than thirty . It was actually pretty good .
Normally that show isn’t much .
They had to have hired him right out of school . He said he gas been there four years already and I don’t think he was shaving yet
LOL!
One hour after news broke about the school shooting in Florida last week, Twitter accounts suspected of having links to Russia released hundreds of posts taking up the gun control debate.
The accounts addressed the news with the speed of a cable news network. Some adopted the hashtag #guncontrolnow. Others used #gunreformnow and #Parklandshooting. Earlier on Wednesday, before the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., many of those accounts had been focused on the investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
“This is pretty typical for them, to hop on breaking news like this,” said Jonathon Morgan, chief executive of New Knowledge, a company that tracks online disinformation campaigns. “The bots focus on anything that is divisive for Americans. Almost systematically.”
and Twitter is now going after those bots, deleting them
new response — Conservatives are now complaining about losing tons of Twitter followers and that Twitter is somehow trying to censor them because of their beliefs
they don’t get that they are the targets of the Russian bots
You obviously didn’t watch the Project Veritas sting of Twitter.
Porject Veritas. LOL
They do outstanding work. Liberal news organizations hate them because those news organizations continually get caught in lies.
Dude, are you serious? O’Keefe has been convicted for conducting illegal serveilance. He’s been busted multiple times for creating ridiculously misleading stories created from whole cloth by fraudulent editing. He’s a total piece of shit.
Ummmm…..
isn’t that the BS story that was totally debunked by a bunch of other news orgs?
and not CNN like Wired, Ars Technica, etc

Ozzy with Black Sabbath.
Love Ozzy, seen him live, but I couldn’t fit him in on the vocalist list, and to me, he’s not worthy of being on the songwriters list because his various guitarists wrote most of the music and lyrics for his songs; from what I understand, Ozzy does just the melodies.
Fair enough. That said, Tony Iommi probably deserves a spot somewhere in the guitarist top 10. I just don’t know where.
iconic rock voice – Eric Burdon
another one from back in the day David Clayton-Thomas
also… Robert Palmer, Rod Stewart (early days only), Paul Rodgers, Grace Slick.
Paul Rodgers , Bad Company ? yes
yes
Johnny was a school boy , when he heard his first Beattles song
Love me do and from there it didn’t take him long
hey we stopped talking about shooting
Johnny died one night …died in his bed
Bottle of whiskey , sleeping tablets by his head
All of them are worthy of consideration, but not in my top 10.
Was going with “iconic” not necessarily top 10.
Beck’s ‘Truth’ LP w/ Stewart. Awesome.
house of the rising sun
Anyone else watching the mass school shooting listening session?
My god, these discussions have devolved quickly into music jibba jabba.
Let’s get back to outlawing all semiautomatic rifles. Thoughts and prayers to those who disagree.
…and to your hairline
ouch
It’s okay… lot’s of beautiful people are balding
For Buck: Best rock songwriters / songwriting duos:
1) Lennon/McCartney
2) Plant/Page
3) Jaggar/Richards
4) Daltry/Townsend
5) Some combination of Gilmore/Waters/Mason
6) Elton John/Bernie Taupin
7) Van Halen/Roth
8) Tyler/Perry
9) Neil Young
10) Hetfield/Ulrich
Damn steve, you’re killin’. I’d squeeze in Winwood somewhere but not arguments from me.
Bob Dylan wants in.
Gray area. rock/folk/whatever, but yeah. Jimi would agree and that’s more than good enough for me.
Bob Dylan doesn’t get in my list. I don’t consider him a rock musician. To me, he’s a folk musician.
Where’s Neil Diamond?
— D_C
This list is NOT complete without Manilow.
Heard on the radio that the Fins were going to tag J. Landry? Sign of a crap FA class of WR’s I guess. I mean, he’s darn good but to the tune of $18M?!?
Who ? J Landry has caught me off guard .
Yeah that’s right . never mind
They did tag him.
Ah. Thanks…
Looking hard at their next QB is the rumor.
So they are ready to move on from Tannehill?
Neil Young has to fall in these discussions somewhere . Brilliant musician . He has a bunch of newer stuff , that’s more like today’s rock . He has a new band . Neil Young and The Promise of the Real. Good stuff.
I don’t know where he’d fit, though – songwriters?
I am amazed how Neil has managed to keep his edge and anger through the years. He hasn’t mellowed at all. Of course, he can write some nice ballads, too.
Exactly , I know . That lead guitarist he has is Willie Nelson’s son and he is talented .
Also a hell of a guitar player. Not the most impressive technically, but the raw emotion he gets out of it is second to none.
Best rock drummers, in order:
1) Keith Moon
2) John Bonham
3) Neil Peart
4) Lars Ulrich
5) Tommy Lee
6) Ginger Baker
7) Mike Portnoy
…after that, it gets a little hazy.
Excellent list. Flip the first two for me, but yeah.
I supposed I’d put Dave Grohl as 8.
Dave Lombardo formerly with Slayer should be in top 5 at least above Lars and Tommy Lee.
Best rock guitarists, in order:
1) Jimi Hendrix
2) Eddie Van Halen
3) Jimmy Page
4) Stevie Ray Vaughan
5) Eric Clapton
6) Jeff Beck
7) Santana
8) Joe Satriani
9) Steve Vai
10) Kirk Hammett
Frank Zappa
Extremely gifted and talented, but I find his music to be unlistenable.
Me too. can’t stand it not even for a second . Same with the Dead . hate it
Well, you gotta have a sense of humor.
i understand, and a lot of people feel that way. so…. for folks like you he has jazz albums and also a series of “shut up and play yer guitar” albums where he, you know, shuts up and plays his guitar.
seriously. “where’s frank?” was my first thought.
Danny Gatton
Who?
Look him up on Youtube. DC area guitarist. Rock, blues, jazz, rockabilly. No longer with us, sadly.
Beer bottle slide guitar. 🙂
https://youtu.be/lBGanEveGVc
As well respected in the guitarist circles as anyone. Saw him several times in the DC area, great down to earth guy and an absolute phenomenal guitarist. RIP, DG.
Flip the first two
My first love is EVH, for sure, but I couldn’t deny Jimi’s greatness.
I suppose we could allow for it
Mick Taylor. Very very underrated.
People forget about Steve Morse.

Everybody I really love to listen to is dead almost . That ain’t good.
I could have said that in the 70s and 80s. 60s and early 70s has always been my musical era, and a lot of those folks didn’t make it out of the 70s.
all my southern rockers are gone . That was my first love .
Skynyrd
Allman’s
Molly Hatchet
Outlaws
Blackfoot
Marshall Tucker
Many more ….all gone .
I like a lot of those, too, but I was thinking more Hendrix, Morrison, Otis Redding, Janis, Lowell George, etc.
Gov’t Mule is the best thing still going .
Warren Haynes is a beast
Not fatal. No word yet if it was deliberate or an accident…in a Cleveland area middle school yesterday, a 7th grade boy shot himself with a .22 rifle.
No other student was injured.
I remember shooting .22’s in summer camp. I was like 8. These are some things kids should be learning instead of sitting at home playing Halo
Friend of mine in the 80s was into the punk scene. I went over to his house and some awful music was playing. Asked him who it was and he said, “Voice of the Beehive.” I responded, “did you say ‘Voice of the Behind?'”
It was hilarious.
You had to be there I guess….
Best rock vocalists, in order:
1) Robert Plant
2) Freddie Mercury
3) David Coverdale
4) Lou Gramm
5) Rob Halford
6) Steven Tyler
7) Roger Daltry
8) Ronnie James Dio
9) Ann Wilson
10) Bruce Dickinson
Any list without Mike Patton shows an ignorance in rock vocalists.
And you don;t have Chris Cornell in there…
Epic fail (pardon the pun)
Chris Cornell just isn’t my thing. Sorry. Mike Patton? Good but I wouldn’t put him in my top 10.
I have to kind of separate the styles of rock music when I am comparing .
Mike Patton is in just about every rock vocalists top 2-3. Highest octave vocal range in Rock music history. In Guinness BOWR. Of course, he’s more of a musicians icon than a typical consumer icon so you can be forgiven for that. In something like 100 different musical projects including Spanish symphonic music. Does most of the sounds for video game aliens, creates movie scores, etc. Prolific.
He is an acquired taste musically… but his vocal range and precision are undeniable
shit , I don’t even know who he is . If it’s harder rock , I won’t know most likely . Aerosmith , the Who , Beatles, stones , they are what I call just classic rock n roll.
I don’t put ….say Judas Priest in that category but the dude can sing his ass off
He’s best known for Faith No More… but he’s been in Mondo Cane, Dillinger Escape Plan, Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, Peeping Tom, Tomahawk, Lovage… and the list goes on
Does a lot of work with John Zorn… not to be confused with the swinging gate
Even does lounge music
That’s why . I just don’t know that music . Once classic rock became classic , I started listening to country , classic rock , southern rock.
From wiki… even if you are not a fan it’s an interesting read:
Patton’s vocals touch on crooning, falsetto, screaming, opera, death growls, rapping, beatboxing, and scatting, among other techniques. Critic Greg Prato writes, “Patton could very well be one of the most versatile and talented singers in rock music”;[55] colleague Blake Butler called him “a complete and utter musical visionary and a mind-blowing and standard-warping genius.”[56]
A list published by the Chicago-based music website Consequence of Sound, acknowledged Mike Patton as “the greatest singer of all time.”[57] The May 2014 article referenced VVN Music’s (Vintage Vinyl News) analysis of various rock & pop singers, ranking them in order of their respective octave ranges.[6] The article served as a retraction to a previous article,[58] which originally awarded the number one position to Axl Rose. Both articles praised Patton’s impressive 6 octaves, 1/2 note range (Eb1 to E7), versus Axl’s admirable 5 octaves, 2-1/2 notes (while mentioning, for transparency, that world record holder Tim Storms has a range of 10 octaves).
AllMusic labelled him as an “icon of the alt-metal world”.[59] He has often been credited as an influence to nu metal, a form of alternative metal spearheaded by bands such as Korn and Limp Bizkit in the late-90s.[60][61] Patton has been less than enthusiastic about being linked to such bands, stating in a 2002 interview that “Nu-metal makes my stomach turn”.[62]
Prominent vocalists such as Brandon Boyd (Incubus),[63][better source needed] Doug Robb (Hoobastank),[64] Daryl Palumbo (Glassjaw),[65] Jacoby Shaddix (Papa Roach),[66] Greg Puciato (The Dillinger Escape Plan)[67] and Spencer Sotelo (Periphery)[68] cite Patton as their primary influence.
I think of him as the Faith No More Guy. Good band, never blew me away.
Yea… that’s more bottom of his musical barrel.
Hi.
-Van Morrison
What about Van Morrison?
Okay, I guess he’d be more pop than rock. Great voice, though.
Helluva voice . One of a kind .
Rob Pilatus
🎤 drop
What? no Elvis?
Don’t be cruel
I can’t stand Elvis. Tough to listen to.
Hows bout Buddy Holly?
Generally speaking, if their principal decade of popularity has a “5” as its first number, it doesn’t much interest me.
Stuck in the 80s. And only just barely out of the 70s.
Seen a lot of bands, but the best I have seen: The Slants.
–Redskin fan
they would get manhandled by The Rolling Stones
For Buck – Cap 101
take all the NFL revenue then add/subtract pages of full of exclusions and additions
then multiply by 47% and that is the salary cap number for the year
the reason the number changes is that the revenue changes from year to year
TV contract dollars go up, tickets prices go up, merchandising revenue goes up or down — all which affect total revenue
this is why teams look at Cap % to target what they pay for certain positions like QB
also why 6-7 players get 50% of the teams cap
which usually is QB, LT, #1 WR, #1 CB, Pass Rush guy (OLB/DE)
And let me just say this: Bob Dylan’s voice was always terrible. He should’ve just been a songwriter. Clapton’s version of Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door is light years better than Dylan’s original, and that was one of Dylan’s best vocal performances.
I wouldn’t argue that .
Hendrix – Along the Watchtower
say no more
Not that Jimi had what you’d call a great singing voice, either.
Definitely an acquired taste. In his early years he actually could sing a *little* bit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ti9QHNvk2AY
btw, that’s Sharon Tate in the pics.
Schmirk is going to cost his next team a shit-ton of money…but will deliver fewer wins than our QB will.
Saw Jethro Tull in the late 90’s at the House of Blues in Vegas. Loved his older music. Dude got on stage and played the freakin flute for like 90 minutes and played like 5 moinutes of his old (and great) stuff. Worst concert ever.
Everyone that went to that concert wanted their damn money back.
Can’t remember who explained it to me but it makes sense.
As fans, we want to hear the old stuff, that’s what we’re most interested in and why we go see a show. But musicians, they are by their nature creative people, they are always wanting to create something new and want to share that.
That said…. no excuse for some jazz flute.
90 fuggin minutes of that crap. He knows that the people in the audience want to hear his old stuff. Sure, throw some new stuff in there, but give the fans what they came for, too.
That’s a shame. I saw Crosby Stills and Nash and they were like that . Terrible . people were booing
That sucks. Really surprised by that.
I saw Jethro Tull at the Alexandria Roller Rink. They were opening for The Jeff Beck group with Rod Stewart. Great concert!
Damn you!
Saw The Doors there, too!
This must have been a long time ago….
Yup! I’m old.
Damn, The Doors? How old are you?
Going on 68. Was going to GU at the time.
I’ve never been a Jethro Tull fan, myself.
Terrible band
Just awful
That flute ….never did nothing for me. Didn’t like Kansas either .
Take that back , Marshall Tucker , that’s a different story .
So lets say for arguments sake , KC gets this unprecedented guaranteed contract . That would mean similar contracts coming in the future for other teams. That tells me they would have to raise the salary cap significantly . No ?
No, not how it works.
ok . If that happens there is going to be less money in the kitty . Quite a bit less . Unless I don’t understand a damn thing about it.
Yes.
Cap is a fixed number, like 51% of NFL revenue each year. Not based on what players make.
So if that happens and QB’s gut the team rosters like you’re saying, things could get ugly in the game.
That’s why I see them having to increase it .
If there is a new CBA maybe. But otherwise it only changes as they get more money from TV revenue.
Owners aren’t going to up the percentage. They’d go to a lockout over it.
Well they got to be able to field a team. If that’s the case they should blame each other for giving a QB all that guaranteed money . They screwed themselves if they aren’t willing to raise it
What you’re saying is the reason why they won’t give him a fully guaranteed contract. Owners are smart, much smarter than the players.
Ok , but I was going off the assumption of what would happen if they did .
The salary cap’s real intent is to protect owners against rising player salaries, so I doubt that a contract given by one rouge owner would cause the other 31 owners to voluntarily increase the salary cap %.
Right .This theory out there is if KC does this thing , more will follow . He owes it to his fellow players is the narrative .
‘Unless I don’t understand a damn thing about it.’
Good for you Buck! Admitting it, is half the battle.
Tomorrow is a brand new day!
Makes the deal for ASmith look even better
That’s true
No. Cap is governed by the CBA. Cap is a certain percentage of gross NFL revenue.
No. Salary cap is based on a formula
Different_Cat Big Buck64 • an hour ago
I saw Petty open for Dylan at RFK — can’t remember the year. Petty was great and Dylan was horrible. And I’m a big Dylan fan.
–
Last October I called my dad and asked if he wanted to go see Dylan at the Anthem for his birthday. I’ve seen Dylan once, my dad has a few times, we both are big fans.
My dad’s reply was “I dunno, last time I saw Bob Dylan he didn’t sound like Bob Dylan anymore, so I don’t think I wanna go.”
Bob Dylan he didn’t sound like Bob Dylan anymore
_____________
What, you can understand him now?
TBF my dad was probably high as a kite when I called him
That’s even funnier
Yeah.
He always is.
I think that means Dylan is old as dirt . That’s funny though
When I saw him in 05, you had to let him get 2 minutes into a song before you could figure out what song he was trying to croak out.
Ouch….
He was also dressed like Zorro.
Yeah , he wears that hat and cape looking thing . That’s funny as hell….Zorro
he’s kind of half talking and half singing anyway . I don’t think he gives a damn what it sounds like
Never was a great vocalist to start with in my opinion . Brilliant songwriter .
His early stuff he’s at least okay.
Knocking on Heaven’s Door , that kinda stuff , is legendary .
You almost need that worn raspy voice to get the song right emotionally
The media is pushing the theory or idea that KC should take the guaranteed contract from whoever offers it , regardless of where he wants to go , because he owes it to future QB’s who come after him.
Listening to Schlereth earlier .
Wasn’t KC pushing that last year
I think so . That’s what KC himself was saying .
Yeah he said something along those lines last season, that he shouldn’t take a paycut deal for those reasons.
Sounds pretty stupid on the Jets part to be saying all that stuff this much ahead of time . I don’t get that strategy. Your giving one player everything in the world and saying so ahead of time.
Kirk’s feeling the Jets love…. even better than Hope’s love….
I don’t think the Jets are saying it, agents probably leaking it as a story.
cracks me up that there was a curler busted for peds at the olympics. forget for a moment that he was russian, but he was a CURLER….
What did the Russian curler say to the ice?
I will break you.
In Russia, the curlers curl you
so… who here is psyched for the impending “peduncle elongation” of the cherry blossoms? yeah… me neither.
Rick Snider probably is. He seems to be interested in the cherry blossoms every year.
i betcha they blossom this year.
Because it probably means more tours he can run for his 2nd gig.

Just saw some random post on twitter, got me thinking.
When it comes to position coaches, who do you trust to coach up lesser talent? Can and should that play a roll in who we draft and sign as FA’s?
I think so.
I’m sure position coaches have an input to one extent or the other.
Although for the team I worked for, the scouting room and their offices were around the corner and totally separate from the coaching staff, and I got the impression that the two groups didn’t interact much except with the head coach.
No more along the lines of, well we know Callahan and Tomsula could probably both coach up a back of the draft guy into a decent player, so don’t need to worry too much about their position groups, they can coach a kid up.
Perhaps. Player talent always wins, though.
Saw Petty just last summer around July 4 in upstate New York. Awesome show. Glad I got to see him one last time.
I don’t go to nearly enough concerts when I’m in upstate NY. My parents took me to see Peter Paul and Marry when I was probably 3 or 4. But that’s about it.
I got put through that at Wolftrap. Puff the magic dragon…..
It’s good safe music for kids, songs about dragons who have adventures, songs about race horses. Just like the Beatles.
Lol, I was bored out of my mind from what I can remember, was probably 7 or 8 years old.
I thought about that girl what seemed to be for two days when Petty passed away . She married big money and lives in Richmond . She had mad skills .
“what’s bothering you?” – Mrs. Buck
ha , right . never experienced nothing quite like it before or since . That kind of thing can mess up a young man’s mind i’m telling you .

I do and I laugh a lot .
I some separation issues when she cut me loose . Drove me “Redneck Crazy ” you might say .Did a bunch of stupid shit .
i saw petty for the first and only time when he was “paired”? with bob dillon and the grateful dead at rfk around 85 or 86. i remember being on the field and feeling how i was walking on “hallowed grounds”.
flounder?
the grounds were not “hollow”, though they felt “hallowed” to me.
RFK was great for Dead shows.
Fed-Ex has certainly performed well for “Dead” shows as well.

I saw Tom Petty in 85 at William and Mary Hall, front row, The girl that I went with was a Tom Petty Freak , and I mean she was crazy nuts for the guy . She did things to me on the way home that I will never forget . I just had to say that .
So sorry you were sexually abused by her
Oh hell yes . Tom Petty had her primed in way I have never forgotten.
Oh my my, oh hell yes…

Saw him 5 years ago at Jazz fest, sounded as good then as he did when he made full moon fever. Great live, good energy all the way.
My wife didn’t give a crap though, she ended up getting a sun burn and was just kinda annoyed, so we went back to the French Quarter and got S-faced.
The next day was fantastic, eh?
Well I don’t recall which day was which.
most the time we weren’t at jazz fest I spent roaming New Orleans looking for the best Sazarac in the city. The problem was that Louisiana has banned absinthe, in what is not an ironic move at all.
Lol, if my wife woke up hungover and sunburned after what she deemed a “mediocre” concert…..well, let’s just say she’d be unpleasant.
Well N.O. is my wife’s favorite city. She wasn’t gonna let that ruin a good time.
Right on, tragedy narrowly averted.
He had a ton more great music by then . I think Damn The Torpedo’s had just came out when I saw him. Refugee , etc .
I saw Petty open for Dylan at RFK — can’t remember the year. Petty was great and Dylan was horrible. And I’m a big Dylan fan.
Never could get past his vocals personally . Brilliant songwriter , but his vocals didn’t do it for me

Perhaps. I’d put Derek and the Dominos and Cream ahead of them.
Damn Yankees was also a very good supergroup.
============================================
Derek and the Dominos wasn’t really an All-Star or Supergroup as most of them played together in other groups
and outside of Clapton people probably can’t name other members of the group
and no Dave Mason, George Harrison and Duane Allman don’t count because they were functionally studio musicians on that album
A band that has Clapton, George Harrison, and Duane Allman come together to play is a supergroup, to me, but I understand your point.
now Blind Faith was a supergroup
Steve Winwood, Eric Clapton, Ric Grech, Ginger Baker
Forgot about them. Definitely.
a lot of music historians consider them to be the first Rock Supergroup
anyone who is interested give a listen to “Can’t Find My Way Home” and “Presence of the Lord”
Saw Steve Winwood with Eric Clapton at the Verizon Center 5-7 years ago. PReformed both of those songs. Amazing.
Hate to say it but if we are going on pure star power alone you have to say The Plastic Ono Band probably has more 1 seed musicians in it than any other group:
John Lennon
Yoko Ono
Eric Clapton
George Harrison
Klaus Voormann
Alan White
Ringo Starr
Keith Moon
Eric Clapton was in a lot of groups it seems.
as far as i’m concerned, the king crimson group of fripp, belew, levin, bruford was an all-star group.
According to Wiki, Harrison wasn’t really even in Derekand the Dominos, just worked on one or two songs together.
BTW, is it me or is Wikipedia a bit too loose with who it counts as a super group:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_musical_supergroups
IMO you have to have at least 2 premier stars if not more, and sure you can fill that out with some solid session guys/hired gun types.
maybe some of these are just too before my time where I don’t recognize any names in some of these bands.
When you’re calling Don Dokken’s backing band a supergroup, then yes, your definition is a bit too loose.
That Wiki page seems to name any band which had members who formerly belonged to another well known group.

alex,
actually, i am not bothered by that but i am (and it’s probably only me and you who are bothered by this) bothered by the backwards-facing redskin logo on the left shoulder of their throwback jerseys. love those throw-back colors, but the left shoulder emblem is all wrong…
Yep drives me nuts too. a face should always be looking forward on a shoulder patch. It’s one of the reasons I decided I wouldn’t get one for myself.
Traveling at the speed of light, it’s still 45 minutes to get from Earth to Jupiter.
I think we can all agree that 45 minutes of travel time strapped to a chair while your eyeballs mash against the back of your skull is a lousy commute.
and you get stretched out into a long thin line or compacted to a point of light depending on who is right or wrong
Well, not to mention, actually working on Jupiter would be lousy, too.

“Lefty Wilbury” – Roy Orbison
“Charlie T. Wilbury, Jr.” – Tom Petty

i totally DOES look backwards, but if the soldier is moving forward, the flag on the right shoulder should have the stars on the right.
otherwise, it’s like having a redskins emblem facing backwards or a vikings horn facing backwards. depending on the side of the helmet, the logo needs to be flipped.
and, you’re a f-ing idiot if you think otherwise!

I don’t see any dark places happening. But I know I for one would rather chat about T&A than guns & ammo.
Fucking guy has been preaching the same line since at least the Vegas shooting, over on TI. Tells peeps that all semi-autos should be banned. Ignores comments that state that not all semi-autos are the same. Ignores comments that dispute his definition of a “assault rifle”. Comes back on today saying the same shit the peeps debating him were saying.

“military style assault rifle” is a myth
there are only automatic, semi-automatic and repeater weapons
if you want to ban “assault rifles” you have to ban all semi-automatic weapons
the NRA would never let that happen, too much money is made on those weapons

to which “fucking guy” do you refer?
Not you
I’m guessing he means me and everything I said is pretty accurate unlike what he said
I believe there needs to be some increased control of semi-automatic weapons to prevent mass shooting
I do not believe in banning all semi-automatic weapons
You flat out said it yesterday, and days and days before, then scoffed at me for correcting you, now you say what I say. You’re a fraud.
I asked people why the logic behind the need for certain weapons and why some weapons could not be restricted to certain groups
I have never scoffed at you but have ask pointed questions

perspective. many things would not be recognized not forecast.
They wrote a document based on the times they were living in.
I don’t think so . I believe they wrote it to stand the test of time ,
And then we get to all the shit that they didn’t foresee. We dance around the Bill of Rights, the amendments within and law in general all the damn time.
That’s probably both idealistic and a bit naive. Clearly they knew some things they wrote would be a problem down the road, they admitted as much when they said they were kicking the can on issues like slavery. And the number of changes they made in the early years of governing are proof of that. I think we changed plans on how we picked the president something like 5 times in the first 20 years.
That and the popular thing about Jefferson saying we should re-write the constitution every 20 years.
What did he know anyway ? Lol
Don’t forget the original “plan” that Franklin suggested was that state’s power in the federal government should be based on the economic strength of the state and not population.
It nay be , but I think they knew slavery would be a issue at some point . I think they realized more people would be coming to America , and I think they had the foresight to believe iin science and inventions . It has served us well so far .

Well here’s a chart of gun violence by year from Wiki
https://en.wikipedia.org/wi…
Assult weapons ban was in 94
Brady bill, hand guns was in 1993
You notice a steep decline in hand gun violence after 1993.
____________________
What I would like to know is what precipitated the explosion in deaths in 88 before basically returning to levels previous that? Would like to see a longer period than this to see what the “norm” is… especially since it looks like ALL homicides started decreasing in the early 90’s. Don’t think those bans also lessened the homicides by knife and blunt objects. Seems there may be some other catalyst as well.
To answer the question of why things spiked, I’d start here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_on_drugs
And yes, all homicides decreased in the 90’s But the decline in handgun violence there is probably 5X greater than any other kind of violence in the time period. At least if you look at that chart.
Alex I liked your mock
If Hurst shows up to the combine at a good three hundred pounds and shows well in the drills I’m fine with that
I’m coming around to the idea that Vita Vea might not be enough of a pass rushing threat to justify the 13th pick. He was the DL I was sort of aiming at up until a day or two ago.
While I like him he is a little inconsistent. More like a bottom half of the first round pick.
Vea will go 21-32

dangknabbit. someone yell for the media off button and NSFW.
What kind of job has watchbands as NSFW?
Built-in bump stock? Those puppies should be illegal.
I think we should limit magazine size and investigate tech devices that could make guns safer, but these will take a long time to have a discernible effect because there are just soooo many guns already in circulation (and they would certainly be grandfathered in). Do it anyway, because you have to start somewhere.
You can have a more immediate impact by implementing stronger, universal BG checks and by closing the gun show (“private” seller) loophole.
Essentially zero guns bought at gun shows have been involved in these school shootings.
Perhaps, but so what? Guys like Cruz didn’t have to work around background checks because they weren’t flagged. Once you tighten up background checks people will simply avoid them by buying from private sellers. Hence, you need to do both: strengthen background checks and eliminate the loophole.
limiting magazine size would be less important unless you could also make it onerous to change clips.
Yes, I think we should do both.
then, while the assailant changes clips, you can fly your home-made drone bomb into (over) him (OR HER) and save the day!
Magazine size is pretty much irrelevant. I can change a magazine in a second or two.
If I were the GM of the Redskins, I’d have Cravens in my office, along with the HC, DC, and his position coach, and maybe Swearinger as the defensive captain, on the first day that it’s allowed this offseason and hash out the issue. Get it all out in the open. If Cravens says the right things, expresses remorse for quitting, says that he’s 100% dedicated to football, then he gets his chance. If he doesn’t say that, then it’s time to cut him.
Isn’t that allegedly what got SM in hot water? Having a heart-to-heart with Breeland?
Not sure. Too many rumors and allegations regarding Scotty M.
My idea….only women are allowed to purchase and own semi-automatic rifles.
Men will have to make due with pistols and bolt action rifles. That is, if they’re man enough.
Charles Whitman says hello
So you’re saying….no rifles in the hands of men at all?
Okay. Works for me.
…just… every 28 days there’d be some SEVERE negotiations
-Robbin Williams
great. (assuming we might all be single again) that’s really up the female competition ante.
“she a masseuse, into power yoga, spinning, football, moonlights in the summer as a runway model in France, has a side gig as an architect, loves being otherwise a full time mom and cooking hearty meals… but she’s a *pass*. she’s just got a .22 Saturday night special.”
“yeah, that crazy one-eyed Sicilian chick down the street, full blown alcoholic, back hump, … but she’s got a pimped out AR-15… SOOOO hot”
sort of a procedural or legal question but if certain style guns and ammunition are all of a sudden deemed “unlawful” or “illegal” how would they handle individuals who currently possess those items? Who’s giving the refund? Are they suppose to just turn them over to ” law enforcement”? I still think there’s enough guns in personal possessions where if you were to stop the manufacturing of all new fire arms there would still be huge “issue” to deal with.
of course there would be. I would imagine there would be grandfathering because too many Federal (and otherwise) law enforcement agents would die while trying to go house to house to get the weapons and ammo. and 100% you create a lucrative black market either way.
we control what drugs you can get and how
we control how you operate a motor vehicle
but try and talk about rational steps in controlling gun violence and people call you irrational
how many people’s homes have come under an Assault on Precinct 13 style attack in the past 5-10 years?
how many times has the government showed up without notice and attacked someone’s domicile?
but I need a 100 round semi-automatic rifle with bump stock for “home defense” or to “hunt” no questions asked
We control what drugs you can get and how?
Sure we do…
How many trillions of dollars have we spent/wasted on the “War on drugs?”
This country is way too soft on drugs. We need strict enforcement of existing drug laws and harsher sentences, I think.
thank you, jeff sessions… jeez.
do you feel alcohol should be treated like a “drug”?
Yes, ideally, although that ship sailed 90 years ago.
so…. prohibition was a good thing?
Yes
Lucky Luciano and the rest of the Mafia
It was a good idea; unrealistic and failed implementation.
steve,
wow… just wow…
I’m firmly in favor of longer sentences for drug offenses, and I’m strongly in favor of DOJ finally cracking down on the states that are flaunting federal law regarding marijuana use.
here: here’s more rope. use it as you see fit.
oh I think drug sentencing is pretty damn harsh in my view
– black and Latino men
The war on drugs has been an abysmal failure. It needs to be treated as a medical issue versus a criminal one. smgdh
The war in Afghanistan is another abysmal failure.
It’s almost like we are not as good at war as we think we are.
once we started fighting a more conventional war, we started losing
We’re very, very good at war; the best in the world at it, actually. Strategic and political goals should be blamed on the President.
yep like the people arrested on first time drug offenses for small amounts and get sentenced to a mandatory 10 or 15 years in prison
makes no economical sense
Agree
try walking into a drug store and buying an opioid product without an Rx
so yes we do control, we just cannot control the illegal distribution of controlled substances
So, rather than just post a mock draft. I did a mock draft, then looked at a highlight reel on youtube for each guy and am gonna give a quick reaction afterwords:
1: R1P13 DL MAURICE HURST MICHIGAN
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZC8RdRbt-_E
Be honest, I think he’s “meh” but we can use DT help, and I am not as good watching DL.
2: R2P12 G WILL HERNANDEZ UTEP
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vv_MPb4t5d8
Stone walls folks.
3: R4P13 RB NYHEIM HINES NORTH CAROLINA STATE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP0-cA9K-Z8
Could be Chris Thompson 2.0
4: R5P12 QB LUKE FALK WASHINGTON STATE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8gD1BqwbT0
Loves throwing the fade so much it will give Jay Gruden wood.
5: R6P14 WR ANTONIO CALLAWAY FLORIDA
Highlight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7wrtQbzvYg
From this highlight reel, like his vision, good hands. Smallish 5’10”
6: R7P13 CB JALEN DAVIS UTAH STATE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyyOQCRl0xQ
Looks like he likes to bring edge pressure, looks hesitant vs run, maybe a good ST player
7: R7P23 WR JESTER WEAH PITTSBURGH
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFKj5ljN9fY
Noticed that most every highlight he is getting passed his defender.
Wow, the fact that it added all those youtube clips in is annoying, Sorry
D_C, Noone hijacked your argument.
Just throwing out ideas. Anyone’s welcome to run with them.
I mentioned the other day…Cravens is his own special kind of cancer, which imo, the team needs to part with. You can’t wash the STANK off him.
At this time, when the 90 man opens, I don’t see a reason to cut him right away; maybe trade him if you get offers (unlikely), but why not see what he has and if there are chemistry problems first?
damage is done. He’s done it twice already. I don’t think you give him another chance. And I think this is different from personal conduct offenses. This is about on the field, heart and mind focused on football.
Cravens – for the 100th time cut his ass and keep it moving. He’s a quitter. who gives a shit if it was a 2nd rounder. Sunk cost. Move on…
Definitely a quitter regardless of what the true story about this is. Su’a didn’t handle this well at all, although the team probably didn’t, either.
if you wanted to give the gun industry a boost, just say things like what Trump said
after all, Remington is in bankruptcy right now because Obama left office
this should cure that
people who refuse any debate on gun control are part of them problem whether or not they believe they are part of the part of problem
you become a responsible party to the problem
What brought about your change in ideology since yesterday?
huh? noone has always been rational about this issue.
Inject spam much?
You obviously haven’t been paying attention, and who said anything about “rational”? Besides you, that is.
again, huh? noone apparently favors rational REGULATIONS and RESTRICTIONS on gun ownership.
If you’re not up to speed on things, don’t bother.
there are lots of silly people who feel any infringement on gun ownership is a “slippery slope” towards taking their guns away.
You’re all over the place.
how do you figure? i am firmly in favor of more gun control. crazy people* like the florida school shooter should never have had a gun.
*apologies to the mentally ill…
You don’t know what I’m speaking about and are approaching from a very broad angle.
i guess not…
Yea, I mean, it’s not like there is any precedent for Congress going over board once they get a foot hold on something.
so are far left lawmakers who say a bunch of irresponsible shit . Prevents any common sense arguments .
They give credence to “taking our guns away ” talk .
By refusing to have a debate , you are ruling out mental health , background checks , and all issues that don’t necessarily ban anything .
Yup
100%
this is the point i raised earlier. we can all stop debating about the incorrectly-parsed grammar of the second amendment and move on to the definition of “infringed”.
Yea, it doesn’t make much sense to not even talk about it. I do believe if you get some level headed people together on this you can come up with some common sense stuff that rational people are okay with. Even the most staunchly pro gun people I know are good with in depth background checks… and that’s just the start. Some states have limits on the amount of rounds that can be held in a rifle. I don’t need 20 rounds to hunt with (if I still hunted.) Way back in the day when I did hunt with an AR… in Maine it had to have a 5 round block in it. I see no issue with that.
Furthermore… I believe there was an “assault weapon” ban at one point. It is my understanding that it did not reduce gun violence. We should do an in depth study to see whether, when hand gun magazines were reduced in placed from 16 rounds to 10, if there was any effect on handgun deaths.
There was a federal law. It was ineffective and either sunset or was repealed. I can’t remember which. The definition of what constitute an “assault weapon” was illogical.
The problem with the label is that everyone seems to have a different viewpoint on what the definition is.
It had a 10 year sunset provision.
or a study on why people are doing this to start with and why it’s increasing . Something is seriously wrong with a small segment of our youth .
Agree with that, too. Maybe it’s time parents start interacting with their kids more. My father blames it on his generation.
Well here’s a chart of gun violence by year from Wiki
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_violence_in_the_United_States#/media/File:Ushomicidesbyweapon.svg
Assult weapons ban was in 94
Brady bill, hand guns was in 1993
You notice a steep decline in hand gun violence after 1993.
“Trump, citing ‘evil massacre’ in Florida, starts talking about gun control”
—————–
they’re coming to take your guns away! cling tightly.
you just need to limit to the number of rounds that semi-automatic weapons can carry to 4 or 5
simple fix and nobody loses their precious guns
Even 9mm’s?
yes I said weapons not handguns or rfiles
no thanks
and therein likes the problem and it makes you culpable in future deaths
That’s ridiculous. That’s like saying because you like your car you are culpable in future DUI deaths.
Not even rational.
More like saying that if you oppose air bag or seatbelt laws you are culpable, isn’t it?
Not at all… seatbelts or airbags don’t kill people
no it not the same thing, it like you saying there are no acceptable controls to place on cars to prevent drunks from driving
your analogy is totally illogical
^That’s his thing.
Your reasoning is totally irrational…
as are most people on this issue.
You can’t legally own one anyway.
Sounds like somebody has repositioned their stance on semiautomatic firearms…..
gun folks need not worry. by next week we’ll all be talking about some fake news story.
Trump acts rudely by cramming his face with monkey brains on next trip?
4 or 5 rounds is nutso talk.
Dish-owned streaming TV service Sling TV now has 2.21 million subscribers at the end of the fourth quarter, the company announced this morning. This is the first time that Dish has broken out its Sling TV subscribers separately from its larger pay TV subscriber base, and confirms earlier estimates that Sling TV had grown to north of 2 million users.
This also put Sling TV in the lead, ahead of rivals like AT&T’s one-year old DirecTV Now, which announced 1 million subscribers back in December 2017, and has since grown to 1.2 million. It’s also leading Sony’s PlayStation Vue, as well, which reportedly had 455,000 subscribers in December, though some analysts now peg it to now have 670,000 subscribers.
Sling TV is ahead of newcomers YouTube TV and Hulu Live TV, too, which have 300,000+ and 450,000 paying users, respectively, according to a recent report from CNBC.
I think the problem with YouTube is that it is owned by Google. Otherwise, when I looked a couple of months ago, it seemed to be the best option for the price, I mean, if you’re going to need Sling orange and Sling Blue. And it hasn’t been clear to me what the $5 ESPN Plus that Disney is going to offer is going to have. Is it going to be like going onto ESPN3 and getting to watch everything there (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, etc and the ESPN3 exclusives OR is it just going to be the ESPN3 exclusives (which are currently free to everyone). I mean, if I could get the full ESPN and FOX sports suites (incl BTN) for $10, that’s all I would get. Regular Hulu and Prime and/or Netflix are all you need besides the sports.
Florida House refuses to debate guns, declares porn dangerous
and thereby we have the new FL state motto
Make War, Not Love!
i think this is developing into a new mantra of mine, but,
what the fuck is wrong with people?
Maybe its not them….
maybe, if it helps unite us, i can say, “what the fuck is wrong with us?”
idiots . can’t hurt to discuss common sense ways to do something .
The discussion could lead to being out of a job.
But I say they’re nailing their own coffin anyway. Most of them will be confronted in their districts. And, it won’t be to be cordial about it.
For not even being willing to discuss it , I would agree with that . The majority of people have a little common sense .
Now all those republican house members in Florida need to figure out how to VPN so they can keep on fapping to porn.
there is no scientific or medical evidence that porn is greater harm to society than gun violence
Tell that to the prudes
cyber sex
Well they are saying that because people aren’t having sex as much, we aren’t reproducing.
If I understand the theory correctly, if the population stops expanding than the whole basis of our debt based economic system could potentially collapse.
Low birth rates can be offset by higher immigration.
again Make War, Not Love comes into play
well, it destroys intimate relationships, and allows people further egocentricism. there’s a lot of tangent and direct things porn does that are not good for individuals, families, or society. but it does provide jobs, and lucrative “start-up” companies, so there’s that.
gun violence is a psychological problem, but as risks go, it’s prob way down the list of things one will actually face. Compare to other risk factors. Automobile accidents. Slips, trips, falls. Sugar. Radon.
gun talk was more fun than deer jerky talk
1 results in the other….
Gotta mix it up once and a while
Bullock has a piece out about OL . I agree with him on Long . We drafted him, developed him, should try and keep him.
That’s the way to do it. If you draft someone who shows good talent, keep them.
But the Bruce Allen way is generally to fuck with em and make them want to leave.
You guys might have already said the same thing in an article, I couldn’t remember , but yes .
I’ve said it on the show a few times. If I were the GM, Long and Breeland would be here next year, and Kirk (ideally)
Like that Hokie?
prime exmple
Cravens, you can’t handle a Code Red!
Panthers’ new GM is a DMV boy:
“Marty Hurney is the interim General Manager of the Carolina Panthers.
Hurney grew up in Wheaton, Maryland,[1] and attended Good Counsel High School and Catholic University in Washington, D.C.
Before coming to the Panthers in 1998, Hurney served in the front office of the San Diego Chargers as General Manager Bobby Beathard’s right-hand man.[2] A journalist by trade, he first began in football in the Washington Redskins public relations department when owner Jack Kent Cooke asked him to join the team.[3]
After the Panthers began the 2012 season with a 1–5 record, Hurney was fired by the Panthers on October 22, 2012.[4] Many of the best players on the 2015 Panthers team that won the NFC Championship were drafted by Hurney, including Cam Newton, Luke Kuechly, and Thomas Davis.”
I’d eat that horse heart right our of Daenarys’s shit.

LMFAO!

How ’bout some deer heart tacos, k0n?
I’d rather have elk, but….sure.

Save those drippings and saute the onion
Heat the tortillas on some hot rocks from the fire
Heck yea. I’d chow on that
He’s not your typical “Hank Parker” salesman.
I had that once and it was very good.
Guy I know had been to Idaho and brought it back . Very good.
I’ll stick with the backs straps and hind quarters . Threw a bunch out that was freezer burnt the other day . Felt a little bad about it.
My dogs get freezer burnt meat. They barely ever get that lucky.
That’s good .
You should start canning it, your ole’ lady can make gravy, chili, spaghetti, whatever. What you don’t want to make roast out of.
No , that would me. I do the cooking. All of it .
Pretty easy after it’s canned. Open a quart, pour it in.
never thought about that before .
Got some deer jerky at home
Yummy
Yes sir . Wife gave me a dehydrator for xmas last year .
Friends of my wife went hunting and just made an assload of jerky so they are just giving to anyone they see.
It’s a little bit of work . Time consuming .
I imagine so.
I don’t know if I was doing it right but I tried to get as much blood out of it as a could . Soaked it for few days first , kept changing the water . Then started cutting it into thin strips .
I’ve never tried it only seen it done, never heard of anyone soaking it to get the blood out. Is that a thing?
Yes
well deer meat is bloody as hell. Can taste gamey if you don’t prepare it right . The best thing to do is let it hang first for a few days , but it’s often not cold enough to do that

The #Panthers just named Marty Hurney as their official GM.

We dont need a GM!
-Flounder
Plenty of locker rooms have accepted players for far worse. Ray Lewis comes to mind for instance.
if the team thinks he will help them win, they will take him back
Apples and goat hearts comparison….
Riggins quit
I never think of John Riggins when I type Ray Lewis.
got it already, a bad example. it is an example of what players will allow tho, if they think a guy can help them win.
Fair enough
Riggins announced he “retired” when he could not get a new contract
took a year off and came back because “he was broke”
these players are not pillars of virtue if they feel someone can come in and help them win they will accept them with open arms!
Miller Lite’s expensive.

Just 200 days until the first Sunday of the NFL regular season. #Redskins
You say just 200 days like it’s the last 200 days of a 2000 day stretch in the pokey
I don’t think that means what you think it does.
I think it means a sentence in prison.
But if for you it’s something about a gaped butt….talk to D_C about that.
Your last 200 days will be “stressful” and crawl by. Get your mind outta the gutter.
I’ll take your word for it
Especially if you have a significant amount of accumulated “good time”.
What’s a realistic positive outcome for Cravens this year?
The worst is obvious – they let him come back, he quits again.
Realistic positive is like we talked about, be becomes a role player/package guy, has a good impact on Special Teams, shows he can step into the starting role if/when DJ/MN go down.
Teammates forgive him and he has a similar type season as 2016.
After giving him the “soap in the pillowcase” treatment ala Full Metal Jacket.
it’s called a blanket party
k0n is Yong, from Killing Gunther.
The sight of blood does not bother me
But it is true that I prefer less messy means of assassination
Yeah, when i saw them about to cut the throat of the goat, I was like “I’m not sure how I will feel about this”, but then I was like “But goat is yummy.”
Goat in a good curry…I’ll fight you for that shit
No need, most people are afraid to even try it, so plenty of goat for all of us who know what good food is.
I used to go to this Indian place all the time and get goat, but it wouldn’t sell, so they changed the name on the menu to “lamb” but it was still goat.
Find a good Indian grocer. They usually have goat in stock.

The NBA’s best TV stories are in Boston and DC where Celtics (+82%) and Wizards (+70%) are up big. Here’s SBJ’s mid-season RSN ratings report. https://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Journal/Issues/2018/02/19/Research-and-Ratings/NBA-ratings.aspx …
—-
This may be a trick Wiz ratings are up to 68 viewers, from the usual 40 people who watch.
my best case scenario is he shows well enough up to the point where they can trade him and get some kind of return .
If he shows that well, you keep him IMO.
We need a 3rd decent S next year, and maybe you start using him in a unique package like the ol’ 46.
Until his next high-flow day……
My best case is that he’s made enough progress to be mentally stable, gets on the field, makes plays, bunch of pick 6s and is voted comeback player of the year by his peers.
Well , I was leaning on the realistic side .
Somebody has to be comeback player of the year. Might as well be Suzy
Because teams line up to trade for quitters?
because I said it’s my best case scenario . I would hope to get something for him before he lays down again. Never said people would be standing in line . don’t exaggerate like a woman
If you can’t get into the tribe until you eat some organ just carved out of the beast…you better be damn sure you want into that tribe.
what? so su’a craven has to eat a heart?
Please, It’s not that bad.
Maybe not bad tasting…but it is weird as hell
You’ve never had liver?
Willingly? No.
Did I ever eat it again after being forced to? No.
It’s a crap filter man. Don’t eat anything that filters crap out of the bloodstream.
you are missing out, duck liver pâté is basically like meat butter.
I get that from wagyu.
Without having to eat a crap filter.
i will eat a lot of things just for shock value. we went on some camping trips with the church group (hold your snickers) and i would eat some ants. the kids were totally freaked out. my daughter still talks about it today, though it happened 10 years ago. when the cicadas came out, i ate those. i was kinda famous up at her school for being the father who ate cicadas.
We go now live to Walter’s life:
http://0.media.dorkly.cvcdn.com/55/81/125a6e02bacaef758dab4f4583314438.jpg
Try going through SERE school with the military – we had to eat all sorts of bad things.
The fact that Su’a apparently still hasn’t explained himself to DJ is telling, to me. If there’s one player he should’ve talked to about this long ago, it’s DJ.
i swear!
but, yes, he’s got some fence-mending and bridge reconstruction to do.
Su’a is going to catch a ton of shit. He may cave under pressure.
I think so, too. Regardless of the full story behind his quitting the team, he’s definintely a flake, and, as Jamual quotes DJ in the column, I don’t think he loves to play football.
Didn’t Compton ask him as much?
There’s a training camp video of that, yes, and Su’a didn’t have a great answer.
Nope
feed him a goat heart and kick him in the ass.
he just plain didn’t want to be there . Not mature in any way . Still a kid .
he totally needs to prove himself. did you see that video/audio someone posted of him talking with will compton? that was some awful shit. i guess, maybe, possibly, in some extra-forgiving world, we can blame it on head trauma, but jeez….
This is his last chance dance
He’s either on board or his career is over
See. They just need to hear what happened. So long as he’s truthful, authentic and, they believe him, he’ll be welcomed.
looks like some of the major mocks got updated today
so looks like I will have some work this evening parsing through that
Sue you got some splaining to do…
Give him the OTA’s and camp, if it don’t work out it don’t work out. Draft another safety in the 4th round or sign another guy….hopefully Monte Nicholson is what we saw last year before his injury.
SO far in the 4th round we are drafting a WR, a RB, a G, a S, a QB…. we’re gonna need more picks.
after the draft, i would like to see everyone post their entirely wrong mock drafts….
I just want to see McShay and Kiper’s wrong mock drafts. They are the supposed experts.
I know man…IDK Sign a vet then, GM’ing is tough.

my father-in-law once ate monkey brains in africa. his company had trading/financial relations with who-ever-it-was in africa. he swears there was a dinner where there was a hole in the middle of the table with a dead monkey’s head sticking up, and people ate monkey brain. he ate it because it was polite to do so.
Yep, that was my thinking. This was a baby christening and we were guests of honor. What were we gonna be rude?
I’ve eaten raw rabbit stomach courtesy of the U.S. military.
Instant coffee. On the go.
Dump a pack of coffee crystals in your mouth. Drink water.
That’s from Faces of Death
that movie was apparently based on my father-in-law.
(but, seriously, he would not lie. he’s a completely honest and forthright person.)
hopefully this will be a goat heart free thread
It’s chewy
it’s muscle so yes it would be chewy
Yeah… I know.
Must be cooked low…all day. And braised to keep it moist.
Raw, still steaming
Go4it
I would eat a goat heart without thinking twice.
