I thought you would have been more of a luge type. 

Uh... no.   But, the US Nationals were in Aston, PA not that many years ago.   I went both times.  It was 2 out of 3 years... pre-Covid.

I only traveled to Las Vegas once.  It was for 6 days and I golfed every day; played the courses in Mesquite on a couple of days.  Went back to the hotel and relaxed at the end of the day.  The only shows playing as I recall were Gladys Knight, Blue Man Group, Celine Dion, Cirque de Soleil .... all too expensive for my taste.  

Only ever saw the strip from the highway; that was as close as I wanted to get.

I went once as well. Limited myself to 80 bucks for gambling. I stopped before I used the 80 bucks. Something about giving them money and getting nothing in return felt weird. I did enjoy going to the other casinos/hotels and looking around. If I remember right there's one called "The Venitian" maybe that had a little river flowing throw it and people on gondolas riding around. I thought that was kinda cool, other than that you can keep vegas.

Same thing that Kiper and McShay reported a few days ago. Kayvon looks to not be at the very top of team's draft boards.

He's not getting anywhere near #15 but I'd love to have him on the Eagles.  The speed which he can get around both edges is pretty unique.  The rest can be coached up.

I have been to Vegas a few times.  It's a spectacle and there's good food. Usually I will play some blackjack but nothing more than a $25 table.  It seems like most of the casinos smelllike smoke.  Walking down the strip is like going to a carnival but instead of clowns there are show girls and pimps.  

Did you see the naked cowboy? gggggrrrrrrrrrrrrroooooooosssssssssss!

I mean gambling and drinking are the appeal of Vegas. You can find good buffets anywhere. Definitely was surprised to read that but to each their own. Krispy Kreme's are awesome though.

Yup. 

Vegas has really become a food mecca, so lots of good food if one is willing to pay the extra price.

It's fun though, Vegas has done a good job of making it more family friendly than it was,

If you have a kid with you on the strip none of the street  guys will hand you any pornographic stuff because it's against the law to hand it out to kids.

I havent been in about 3 years now, still can't believe they have an NFL team there, as family friendly as Vegas is now it's still Vegas and it's real easy to make questionable choices there, especially for a young athlete with lots of money.

Not a fan. Linderbaum is even smaller but plays much better. Great leverage. All the same, if we draft an OL high, I pray it's Green.

What do you think about Zion Johnson?  He played some Center and is a bigger guard.  Seemed to have a good week at the Senior Bowl. 

Ojabo and one of Gardner/Stingley is IMO the best combo we can get at 15-16 right now.

He's in NYC not that I'm tracking the whereabouts of a man in tighty whities or know who he is like you appear to know.

Would rather have Johnson over Ojabo

Give me Walker over both, but all three are studs in the making.

Lloyd, Karflatis, Walker, Jermaine Johnson, Green and Booth may still be available.  

There are a few center options in the draft  , Kramer and Ford being two I like , kid from Arkansas another

If QBs don't go early can't see Gardner nor Stingley making it to us.  Elam is possible.

Elam is very grabby IMO; I would prefer Booth or Gardner if possible.

If I was 21-22 years old and a millionaire living in Vegas...smh, I'd probably be dead.

I like Zion. My top non-tackle olineman after Kenyon Green.

I'm starting to lean this way too. Ojabo is a great pass rusher but will need a lot of coaching up in setting an edge, run D, etc. Johnson may not be quite as good an athlete but is more pro-ready for a 4-3.

I'd prefer Gardner over everyone. I have my 1st round possible CB's ranked:

1. Gardner

2. Stingley

3. Booth

4. McDuffie

5. Elam

6. McCreary

I don't think we have a reasonable shot at Gardner, Stingley mayyybe. But he's also being drafted based on potential he showed 3 years ago. McCreary used to be above Elam, but those t-rex arms worry me.

Check out Kyler Gordon. Sauce may be gone before 15, Booth borderline... Gordon is high on my list nowadays.

Kyler Gordon extremely under ratted , love his game , and I think he ends up a better pro than some of the so called top CBs 

a cpl of my favorite CBs ,Gordon ,Emerson , Waller , Lucas

This does require QBs/WRs going early.

Ah, what could have been...starting wideouts could have been Metcalf and Jefferson. Carson may still be here. So many butterfly effects from one or two draft picks here and there.

 

If the Eagles drafted Metcalf then they wouldn't have spent a first on a WR the following year. 

And some of you wanted to draft Jonathan Allen.

Maybe he wanted to have dinner with him to punch him in that stupid mustache?

That's just people who want to be offended.  His explanation was valid, although he's waaaay off in describing Hitler as a military genius.  Hitler had really good generals in the German army but he either had them killed if they dissented from his doctrine or undermined most of them.

Would anybody be upset with this haul?:

It's very logical that Jews would be offended by his comment. And you're 100% right from a history perspective. There are so many better options.
