I'm already there.  I roll my eyes now.  Read an article yesterday bashing the NHL for not doing enough.  The Flyers and Penguins showed togetherness by standing together for the anthem.  Not enough, no one kneeled, no one had a message, no one made it about themselves!  The horror.  But they shredded the NHL for not caring about BLM.  That's where we are now.  If you don't show support for BLM, or disdain towards the police then you're a problem in society.  It's a scary slippery slope we are on.  

Who is "they?"  Is that like "those people?"

I watch my Philly teams but I will watch any college game that is on.  I'm a college football junkie.  I absolutely love all the different traditions, fight songs and just the overall pageantry of the game.  To me there is nothing better than waking up Saturday morning in the fall, getting some yardwork done coming in and listening to College Gameday and then watching games all day topped off with the game of the week on ABC, the evening SEC game and a ND game on NBC.  

I feel the same way. College football is great. Love those late summer and fall Saturday afternoons. Unfortunately I don’t think we’ll see it this year.

I know out here The University of Arizona has all the players coming back on campus and working out starting Monday. And they’re opening up campus starting 24th of August

I posted a link to the article.

Caplan has mentioned this guy every time he’s talked about the receivers. Supposedly the Eagles like him. He’s a converted LB who ran a 4.39. I looked up his stats. He had one game with five catches for 177 yards and four TDs. 

What jumped out at me was 1) WTF was he doing playing LB? He’s got some legit ball skills and speed, at least for a small school guy. 2) Two blocked punts in the highlight reel. As a former LB I would imagine he’d make a nice special teamer. 

I wouldn’t mind seeing him on the PS.

I am really trying not to comment but I cannot sit still anymore.  These "cardboard” fans sitting.....that’s right, not kneeling but sitting, I mean sitting, during the national anthem.  WTF.  It’s just not acceptable.  

Some of them were in line at the concession too; don’t they realize popcorn is 85% cardboard??

His highlights reminds me a lot of Stefon diggs coming out of Maryland. I think he’s a little shorter than diggs and more speed based of his 40.

You need to watch PCU and calm down.

So the Eagles dodged the bullet with McCoy and Bradham signing elsewhere.  Not disrespect to Shady but the potential Eagles stable of RBs has me a bit excited.  Boobie and Boston showed real promise last year, both running the rock and in the passing game.  Hopefully, Corey is finally healthy.  He catches well too.  I really like Mike Warren’s potential as both a runner and receiving.  Throw in Killins who seems to be able to catch, maybe. High catch amount in a season was 10.  Maybe, maybe not. Holyfield, maximum catch amount was five. Probably not. 

I watched some Grayland Arnold videos on YouTube since Howie has brought him up a couple of times.

He picked off that terrible TCU quarterback twice.

I really think Miles has a monster season this year. For how well Howard played early last season, Sanders gets those touches now and he's the alpha dog coming off a great rookie campaign. And if there's one benefit of playing with a practice squad roster towards the end of last season it's that guys like Scott and Ward got meaningful reps.  I think running back is the strongest position they have right now, definitely in Doug's tenure year.  

What is it about UDFAs that makes them so exciting/fun to cheer for?  Every year I feel as if I get weirdly invested in guys who in reality have almost no chance of coming much of anything. This year we've got Arnold, Killins, Bailey, Juriga, Togiai, Warren, Williams...

Lou Williams and his chicken wings costing the clips

Rocky syndrome 

I do give the NBA credit for coming up with the bubble idea. This will work because of how controlled they have it, how often they're testing, and how stringent they are when someone leaves. It's a nuisance for the players to be locked down there for the ensuing months, but it was the most logical solution to come up with. It's obviously not ideal, but you have to respect them for coming up with the best solution with how crazy everything is right now.

Killins will be the fan fave I think

Are you the guy from the movie "Powder”?   How long does it take to wash a car?   You get that burned?   My ancestry is Swedish, so I’m a pretty fair complexion.  But I’m outside in the sun almost everyday and I golf three times a week.  I build a nice color.  Chicks dig my legs.  My wife says I have the best looking legs on a man she’s ever seen.   Get out more brah.  F it.  Walk the neighborhood shirtless.

May not understand this. But it's important to play your part. Nobody's looking to impress you pal.

Most snaps, the steamroll just happens whether you're standing on the other side of the line "impressed" or not
