Good.  Looks like a late round guy.  I'll take him 5th or later and he will instantly beat out Ward in the slot.

    I turned 38 today and have lost 52lbs since February. I’m very rarely ever proud of myself, but I’m feeling pretty proud today and thought I’d share. Carry on.

  • At this point, I’d like to see a former HC on the staff, but the biggest coaching news left is whether Stout stays.  BOOOOOOOOM

Got my second Moderna shot yesterday morning and I was down for the count last night. Fever, chills, woke up in a pool of sweat. Probably got 3 hours of sleep. Felt much better today but that wasn’t a fun 10 hours.

Heard the Moderna was rough.  My wife, mom and I all got first dose of Pfizer this week.  Only my mom had a real bad reaction similar to your reaction.  She said it was hell. The wife and I just had sore arms.

Figured Id throw this out here since a lot of people look at this post. 

We are redoing our video game room and have decided to buy all the old and present video game systems for display. We have a raspberry pi4 4gb retropie to play over 18k games from the old systems, but now looking for some of the real systems for displays. I have a good amount but looking for more. Condition is the most important part. If it works thats another bonus. Here are some that Im on the hunt for. Not pictured but on the way are the Japanese versions of NES and SNES(Famicoms), a Atrai Pong from 1977 and my son's Xbox one in his room. 

NES, Gameboy, Famicom, SuperFamicom Famicom disk attachment. 

Sega Master system, Sega Genesis(model 1), Sega CD(model 1), Sega 32X, Sega Saturn, Sega Dreamcast, Gamecube

Colecovision

Panasonic 3DO

Atari 5200, 7800, Jaguar, Pong

Neo Geo CD

Philips CDi

Turbo-Grafx-16 and CD

PM if you have anything available with pictures if possible. Thanks20210409_191108.thumb.jpg.b62dac8583df21ccbddc882fa469bce2.jpg

N64 was the best.  Some good times playing Goldeneye and the wrestling games.

thats cause Im good. But also feels really lucky to have the board fall that way. First time Ive have the opportunity to take Marshall in round 2. And then there was still a nice safety prospect in round 3.

Not to defend the Dresden bombing, which was abhorent  and unjustified, but German historical records place the number of dead at about 25,000. The inflated figures of anywhere from 130,000 to 250,000 come from Holocaust deniers such as  David Irving. 

Ethically is it any different to kill 25,000 with a 1000 bombers or with one bomb? Of course 2 bombs accomplished what a year of bombing didn’t (or almost did according to LeMay?).

It’s true I don’t know enough about Truman, it seems like he was always over the horizon in my schooling.

Confirmation bias at its finest.

all that femur shows is take care of your family. Did other tribes help that wounded person? No they were competing with them for resources and would have killed the other tribe if they had the opportunity most of the time

In that case tribalism is a form of collectivism not individualism no?

they gave him a great speed score, but 2 of those numbers arent real. They figure out the splits with a math formula. And if you ever look closely everyone with the same 40 time has the exact same 10 yard splits. Its not accurate.

The size is ok for a slot guy, but short arms, small hands. Not good jumps. And then his 40 is slower than expected.

When I watched him he didnt look like a 4.3 guy. But I thought maybe he could do a low 4.4. He had a mid 4.4 and a low 4.5

He was already thought of as a late rounder. I dont see anything that boosted him there. Im thinking you can get him in round 6.

Nope

but in the interest of the blog i suggest we drop it. We arent changing each others opinions.

I’m trying to figure out this J&J vaccine, which is one shot deal but 66% effective (it could have other logistical benefits like easier storage, idk). Meanwhile, I got moderna which is like 90% effective after the first shot and 96% after the second. Why did the government even prioritize the 2nd shot - it seems like it was just a booster, which could have been distributed as a 1st shot...

I guess we’ll be swimming in vaccine soon, but I would like to avoid sleeping off another moderna shot in 6 months.

God, you are stupid.  It was "government" stimulus.  It was spread around to everybody that qualified including those that didn't pay taxes as economic stimulus during an pandemic.  And your second to last sentence actually states that so who is the stupid one???

Economic stimulus propped up our "capitalist" economy during the down turn.  If it wasn't for the stimulus and unemployment benefits this great "capitalist" country would be well in the midst of the great depression.  It was only massive deficit spending that has allowed the global economy to keep afloat.  So, keep telling yourself that you hate socialism or government intervention. 

You can back peddle all you like but you "joked" that persons against socialism were happy to cash the stimulus check as if we are hypocrites because of it. When it's the government giving me back MY money. So yeah I'd gladly took MY money back it wasn't a handout. Are you saying tax refunds are also a socialist program? Next time when you want to get passive aggressive because you look down on people who work for their income and don't like the government taking a huge chunk and wasting it just come out and say it true.

The New Deal was the worst legislation ever. Sadly many never learned that lesson. Capitalism is supposed to have periods of destruction

Yes, when the people destroy those on top. Because if the majority are ill-served by the system, why not hang those on top - if you're already living in misery, tear the whole system down!

Bismark created the social welfare system, that wild-eyed radical! Because he was a conservative.

Well that’s not true because Derrick actually has very good sources but Derrick should know enough not to tweet crap like that.

It would be almost akin to Jets reporters tweeting that their sources tell them the Jets are likely to draft a QB at 2.

It’s something like that. I was only there once when the Eagles won the NFCCG in 2005. I’m on the opposite coast so not really close for me.

It wasn't a joke and I don't look down on anyone.  

Just saying that the economic stimulus was not your money.  The government borrowed it from our children's (or more accurately our grandchildren's) future to prop up the economy now.   And the government did that for (gasp) the common good.  Your money was spent long ago (and continues to be spent) on weapons of war and giving tax breaks to multinationals and billionaires instead of investing in the education, health and general welfare of our population.        

Just thought it was funny that all these people are screaming about socialism and they have no idea what it actually means.  There are so many examples of where socialism has long existed in the USA including police, firefighters, roads, public schools, the military etc.     

Since we have been talking about Harry Truman, here is a good quote of his:  

"Socialism is a scare word they have hurled at every advance the people have made in the last 20 years....Socialism is there name for almost anything that helps ALL the people."  October 10, 1952

Hahaha tell that to our grandparents.  They were happy that the New Deal pulled our country out of the crap hole and they didn't have to stand in food lines anymore.  My grandparents loved FDR.  And, I'm almost a 100% certain you wouldn't be singing the same tune if you had to stand in those food lines...

Anyways back to football...I want Slater, Surtain, Horn or Parsons at 12.

If the 1st round ends with the Eagles getting Devonta Smith + 2022 1st rounder, that's not a bad outcome.
