My dad took typesetting on the Linotype in HS. He married my mom when he was 18 and she was 17. Good thing he took those classes. LOL

I like that they do this. It isn't likely to they'll find anyone but it gives these kids a shot at least. They work their ass off to get this far.
Disagree on that hell Beanie Bishop would easily be our best corner if we got him

What are you disagreeing on, the fact that I like that they gives these guys a one day try out? This has been going on for years. BTW that is how they got Herb Mul-key if memory serves.

you said they wouldn't find a spot here and there are a few that would be better than what we currently have on the roster

I still can't believe people here wanted Rivera back and thought he was doing a good job.

Forbes was a bad pick and I am not going to support it just because the commanders drafted him.

I stopped arguing with Dean because I don't believe a pick needs to be supported and justified just because Rivera or the team drafted him. If the player works out, great, but if they don't, it's absurd to do mental gymnastics in order to make yourself feel better about it.

Bad picks happen all the time. It's OK to admit that a pick was bad or that the previous GM was terrible.

I said the night we drafted him it was a bad pick
