You can buy the canned Wendy’s chili at my Giant. In fact, the have Olive Garden salad dressing, Chick Fila dipping sauce, Arby’s secret sauce and waffle fries, Panera soups and flatbread pizza etc. No need to go to chain restaurants anymore. (Never bought any of those.)

I’ve gotten the canned Wendy’s chili. It’s just as good and they have it both with and without beans. Never got the Arby’s waffle fries but have had the curly fries.

Malachi Fields looks like he could be an AJ Brown replacement down the road. I wonder if he’d be in play with pick #68 from the Jets.

Yeah he's a big want

@Joe Ball This guy legit? He has some decent background it seems. I agree that it's a strong safety class. I'm letting Blankenship walk, bringing Epps back on a 2-year deal and drafting a guy.

He is legit. I have never really folowed his mocks or player rankings but he is respected. It may be a stronger class than typical but I don't think there are 11 S in the top 100 players, 6 tops imo, maybe 7.

Quick poll, who here eats fast food at major fast food chains? I can't tell you the last time I went to any of the major brands. I tried Raising Cane's and Dave's Hot Chicken once each when they moved in, but it was to try it. I did and no reason to go back. If I'm on the road for work, I try my best to just pack protein options for the car.

I might get food to go 3x a month. Usually I'll go with a local pizza shop, local cheesesteak shop and a stand at a local market.

Growing up in the 80s our family did pizza night on Friday nights. McDonald's was always a treat and sometimes even that was just for the fries. We did birthday parties at McDonalds. Pizza Hut was "fancy" pizza for us once in a blue moon or when we went to a friends house, also where our youth teams would eat after a big game. We only got Wendy's, Arby's or Hardees when we were traveling.

I don't eat a lot of fast food, maybe once a week, once every two weeks, and even then its only one of two places, Popeye's or Taco Bueno, typically I can get decent meal for around $7 - $10. I work from home so I am normally eating leftovers or making eggs and bacon mid morning and won't eat again until dinner. If I am traveling for work I will eat fast food for breakfast (McD sausage, egg & cheese McMuffin), I even make my own at home, I love an English muffin. When I was in my early 20s lived off of Wendy's Super Value menu for lunch, I could get three items and a drink for less than $5 and be full. This menu is from '93...I think they added 5 piece chicken nuggets later too.

I will splurge once every month or two on a Whataburger double meat, double cheese, lettuce, tomato, extra onion, jalapenos, with mustard, no ketchup, no mayo. largest fries known to man (usually exactly what I tell the drive through attendant lol).

Wife and I eat out maybe once a week, well I do, she works about 20 minutes away so she is always eating fast food, usually Chik-fil-a.

I just prefer cooking, specifically my own food, especially a good steak. I also enjoy cooking for friends and family. I recently started taking a meal to the family of a good friend every Wednesday, that is their hardest/busiest day of the week. My friends son went to college where my kids did and fractured his neck in a swimming accident and is now a quadriplegic. It really sucks for him, he was a stud pitcher in college and had just started teaching/coaching HS locally, just got his own apartment. Anyway, lots of people helped me when I was younger and I like to cook and I am able so its just something I feel good doing and it helps make their life a little better on Wednesdays not to have to worry about having to get dinner ready.

Holy crap...I just wrote you guys a novel...sorry, but I'm not deleting anything lol...

TLDR; Wendy's good back in the day, fast food is meh, I like cooking and helping friends.

My TE1

Delp is actually bigger than he looks, another one to keep an eye on is Eli Stowers, he's a tad smaller but a really good receiving TE, couple of friends who are HS coaches coached him in Denton TX @Guyer, they also coached JSN at Rockwall...

I like Max Klare for us too.

Something on him about a 2024 off the field

Red Flag type incident?

If he framed it as 11 between rounds 1-4, I could see that. He might also be pushing some of nickels in with the safeties (Keionte Scott, Kilgore - maybe that hybrid LB from Pitt, Lewis?). In any case, I agree it’s a good class - I’m looking at Bud Clark or Taaffe on early Day 3 to fill the interchangeable 2H role here.

I love Wendy's chicken sandwich. As for McDonald's you can't beat the steak bagel. Try not to eat fast food very often anymore. Trying to get into shape to run a 5k in June. Need to lose about 30lbs.

Look out gents, we got ourselves one. Won't be called up until it's 2040, but we got one!

You look on paper and Klare and Delp look very similar athletically, but production wise Delp never took that leap when Bowers left UGA. Meanwhile Klare was a force at Purdue although relegated to the third receiving option at OSU behind two top-10 (?!) wideouts.

First I have heard of that, he is considered a leader on and off the field, he is a former HS QB who transitioned to TE. I am curious about the off the field trouble you are mentioning, I am not finding anything on it, post a link.

Howie will probably draft Min Eclair instead.

This can’t be real, it’s already crazy that they sign 16yr olds to these agreements.

I suggest using the couch to 5k app. It's a good way to build up to a 5k without risking injury. I go through phases where I will run consistently 12 to 15 miles a week and then stop. I always use that app to build back up so I avoid pulling something.

Good film. True story.

A couple of years ago NASA opened up their Langley facility, where the women worked, for a tour. My son and I went up to it. It was great. There were a bunch of NASA scientists around just talking about the history of the facility and projects they were working on in the facility.

I obviously like Texas players but I am not as impressed with Taffe compared to what I have seen them produce in the past several years. He will have to increase his bulk/size to play the same style in the NFL as he did at Texas. 6'0" ~190lbs...very similar build to Makuba, I would want a 205-210lb guy. They are both intelligent, communicate well, and know how to play the position at a high level, they just aren't as big as I would like. I honestly worry for their long term health and think they are better served playing nickel/slot corner. Makuba can probably hold his own long term.

Someone else had said this previously but Safety is a difficult position to draft, at least I think that was the intention of the post and i agree. DAL drafted and missed on so many over the years it's frustrating. Wilson is a good safety, not great but good. If the front 7 could have done more DAL secondary would have been better, not good, but better. Scheme and coaching really make a safety so much more effective imo, I mean you have to have skills, but scheme and coaching can really overcome lack of elite skill.

JSN is a freak...this is one game in HS against Allen, a perennial powerhouse. I think it was state quarterfinals (regional final in TX) largest clssification. Allen has 7k students, Rockwall had maybe ~2800...

Thanks, I have used that in the past. I have developed my own couch to 5 k training over the years. Works good for geezers and I have lots of time to train.

Watching the 2018 championship game against the vikes right now. That was a truly awesome game

Yes, and Bud Clark is also slight. I think the league is becoming less physical in the secondary, where you have safeties playing WIL and corners playing safety. We compensate for that in the run game by having JD here and I guess Kenny Clark there (unless the boys have a real NT on the roster, Toia?) 2-gapping.
