I know it's impossible to compare any other job to that of professional athletes but there are PLENTY of corporate buildings with with dining areas that employees have to pay for their meals.  Cry me a river.  Oh no, we didn't fly first class, we had to pay for our lunch!  The horror and mistreatment these NFL players go through.  It's sickening.  We need to come together and hope they get what they want.

I've seen this debate before, but ultimately, if you want to sign the best players, etc, it's the petty stuff like that can make the difference.  Especially if you want some players to be in the best condition before and after games.  In theory, it's peanuts for players vs their compensation, but it's also the lowest hanging fruit if you want them in the building at the quiet times or in recovery mode.

So you're saying peanuts and fruit need to be free at the facility.

Mike Tyson had shorter arms than 75% of his opponents

I know, it's an argument that holds no weight because there is no comparing to professional athletes.  But as a fan, it just adds to the disconnect between player and fan.  I hear complaints about that, or having to pay for a meal in college while on full scholarship and it just makes me turn away from the sport.  Call me when you have actual issues.

It is a metaphor.  He means all nuts and legumes as well as fruit and vegetables need to be free

Iowa EDGE Lukas Van Ness

Yup, and 98% of his opponents were hobos and boxcars.  When he stepped up in class against Holyfield and Lennox Lewis he got demolished.

Ridiculous 

 

Adetomiwa Adebawore
40 - 4.54u
10 - 1.61u

Can you imagine if Eagles made Doug pay for his ice cream?

Wasn't Reid big in junk food Friday?

Chip Kelly had Smoothies 

Reid had fried chicken and burgers.

Doug was vanilla ice cream.

What's Sirianni got in the lunch room?

Agree.  But when my current employer had an office with a canteen, we had subsidised food and coffee shops to encourage people to go into the office. Lunches started $5-6 per day and a flat white was under $2. I know other Tech firms do similar things

Northwestern's Adetomiwa Adebawore (6-2, 282) is working with the EDGEs but just clocked a 4.54u 40 and 1.61 10-yard split to go with a 10-5 broad and 37.5" vert. All numbers would be No. 1 among IDLs at the NFL Scouting Combine

Yeah. Chip got rid of those AR things and nearly had a player mutiny on his hands.

My guess Sirianni would either be cheese steak/Hoagie based or a Haribo kind of guy.  After a basketball competition to choose between Star mix and Tangfastics

I am surprised that Jimmy Kempski hasn't asked this question already. He's seems obsessed with a good food spread

When are DBs measured? I'm convinced Porter Jr. is going to have 40 inch arms.

I don't give a flying F if he lied to try to stay out of trouble. He's a kid who did something stupid and lied to the cops about it. That happens. The guy is a beast and I'm not looking for Boy Scouts. If he is there at ten they would be a-hole stupid not to send that card in as fast as possible.

 

I am sure that everyone on this board that has ever been pulled over by a cop has answered every question truthfully.

Yeah unless Im wrongfully detained I just believe in telling the truth and coming clean.  The police will treat you a lot better and they wont pile on charges if you dont F around with them.

The fact that he shows back up, lies about being there, they realize hes a liar, they see the security footage of him driving like a maniac....yeah hes getting as many charges as they can prove.  I dont think hes done yet.

Works for POC all the time.

Daniel Jeremiah just said his comp for Nolan Smith is Haason Reddick.  Nolan Smith just ran 4.44... Reddick was 4.52

Van Ness with 4.64

Speed for an edge rusher is nice, but I'm curious about the 3 cone drill, and if he can anchor.  4.44 for a DE is nuts though.  That's WR speed.
