I just used him as the worst example since he annoys me so much.  I wanted to say Bruce Willis but then some Bruce Willis fanboy would @ me.  I done going back and forth with morons today.  I’ve had my fill.  

If not for MTV,  Paulie Shore would probably have gone through jobs like someone with a head cold goes through a box of Kleenex. 

I've been at work all day, but if you've hit your moron quota then it must have been a rough day on the EMB.  Maybe I shouldn't read back to far?

My wife told me about what happened with this kid.  Disgusting that people would respond to him that way.   Just gross and disgusting.

i hear stamps are worth more if they were actually mailed. not sure if thats true or not

 

I wish I could ask my grandfather the answer to that one.  He was an avid stamp collector.

That’s cool.   I haven’t really picked up a hobby.  I should.   I just golf, do yardwork and burn things in my fire pit.  I sti have my dads old stamp collection.  No idea what to do with it.  I’ve called some dealers in The few years since he passed and there doesn’t seem to be a market for it.  Not something I’m into.  

Our family had a huge stamp collection from my grandfather we thought was going to be worth some coin and the market just died down.  Now it's just dead weight.

The Bears are gutting their defense while "upgrading” at QB to Andy Dalton. Yikes.

I went to the university of Delaware. Tubby Raymond ran it every year 😄

Huge UD fan here.  Have been going to games since the late 80s with my dad.  There are some pretty cool videos with Tubby teaching the Wing-T.  There's a reason it's called the Delaware Wing-T.  He ran it beautifully.  While it does let you compensate for a lack of athletes, when you have the RIGHT players to fit the scheme the offense is a thing of beauty.  I miss the days of college football when there were true distinct offenses.  I loved watching Nebraska and Air Force run the option.  Everything now is just a mish mash of different schemes.

I know postcards are 100% worth more when they have been mailed.  We have an annual postcard show here in York every year and you can find some really unique stuff.

Speaking of Delaware football, if the Bears are selling and unloading some talent I would be all over Balal Nichols if he was available for a trade.  He's a very good D-tackle, only 24 and getting better every year.  It would be great to have a young stud DT in the mix.

When it works it's luck, when it doesn't he sucks.

I'm sure you'd be fun to work for, when it works it's because I'm brilliant, when it doesn't, because you're dumb.

Look at the draft that year. He isn't some sly talent evaluator who is smarter than everyone. He made 3 late signings that saved the season and were huge parts of that season. Credit? Sure. Luck? Tons. Put that with every other season the last few years.

What does it mean? He shouldn't have a job and he fell into some major luck the SB year. Thanks for getting lucky. His dumb ass can leave now.

F those guys. There's nothing manly or tough about making fun of someone with a stutter. 

Nick has a stutter? I've always thought he's just been overly excited during the PCs. He's come off as someone very happy and just excited to coach

I think we'll have very few wins this season but I am curious about how he coaches and gameplans

He keeps mentioning how he schemes to his players strengths. We'll see. I hope he doesn't end up trying to make these guys do stuff they can't do

According to a report Thursday from the Inquirer's Jeff McLane, "the Eagles recently inquired about trading for Watson."

It's easy to disregard one report about a team being interested in a top player, but when multiple reports start surfacing, it becomes much more difficult to turn the blind eye.

Also, McLane's language is extremely specific. He isn't reporting that the Eagles would like to make that trade, or that they are "monitoring" the situation. He's reporting that the Eagles inquired with the Texans about a Deshaun Watson trade, which is a direct first step towards a potential deal. 

A few more assault victims come forward maybe we can get him for a 1 and just wait out the 8 game suspension

I don't put too much stock into this. It would be bad GM'ing to not make a call and get a sense for the position they are currently in. There's only maybe 4 teams that shouldn't.

I think the majority of the league called the Texans about Watson

I agree except this quote was in there 

McLane also cited a source familiar with the Eagles' thinking who said that "Howie will give up everything he has for Watson", which makes sense considering the Texans' asking price for a Top 7 quarterback entering his prime with multiple years left on his deal will be high. 

Chris Long and Beau Allen on Hells kitchen as guests lol

Eagles have way too many holes to go broke for a top QB IMO

Why would Watson trade one dumpster fire for another? Doesn't make sense.
