He has a restraining order against me.

I was calling him trying to get him to consider the Raiders....

That would be the worst thing the Raiders could do. I just want to see him suffer more.

I was kidding.

 

[thunderc]

I was kidding.

I doubt it would be the first restraining order he has been involved with. Perhaps you either lol.

Then he needs to sign with the Titans.

Nah, never had that experience. Not the obsessive sort.

Live and let live is my motto.

Oh I just thought maybe someone obsessed over you at some point.

Had some bad breakups but I don't do crazy stalker types.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I'm a good looking guy with a nice magic wand so I couldn't blame a woman for stalking me but never been that lucky.

Ha no. Special asset Krasnov doesn’t even want to be there.

Maybe they should adopt this instead of an NBA all star game. USA, Europe, Canada, Australia?

Isn't the NHL doing it to avoid sending their players to the Olympics during the season? It looks good today, but every four years it's a bigger issue for the Olympics.

Who needs mlb when you got nhl?

You've got a point, but out of order.

Growing up our family didn’t have cable just national broadcast channels (nbc, fox, cbs) and some local channels. Some of the games would be televised but we mainly listened to the games on the radio. Like you said, you can get stuff done and we loved listening to Tom Hamilton. He is a legend and made it so exciting

Many of my childhood sports memories are of Vin Scully's voice. He was baseball in many ways to me.

Those kinds of things are why I like baseball and consider it the perfect summer sport.

I remember going to the beach with friends in the summer...one of us would always bring a "boom box" and we'd listen to Dodgers games while hanging out at the beach. Vin, of course, was a huge reason why.

These days, I'll have the game on while getting stuff done around the house, stopping to watch during key moments of the game.

Not being as good as he was hyped to be?

From Lance Zeurlein's draft profile:

Strengths​

• Plays with confidence and composure from the pocket.
• Keeps his eyes downfield as the pocket compresses.
• Shows off ability to pump and reset when the play appears not to develop as he expected.
• Able to buy himself time and move his launch point when needed.
• Willing to stand in and take punishment when he gets locked in on the throw.
• Gets hips squared to the target on rollout throws.
• Steps into drive throws between the hashes and puts it on-frame.
• Allows routes to develop and throws with timing into zone windows.
• Hits receivers in stride and leads them into yards after the catch.
• Consistently accurate when he throws from a balanced platform.

Weaknesses​

• Spacing and clearly defined route combinations make decision-making easier.
• Drops beyond proper pocket depth and into edge rusher’s path.
• Throws with a longer operation time.
• Has completions on tape that will be interceptions in the pros.
• Inconsistent bringing his lower half through his delivery.
• Needs to become OK with taking profits and moving on.
• Appears too confident in his off-platform game despite a lack of zip.
• Doesn’t offer up much escapability quickness from the pocket.
• Much too willing to take a big sack instead of throwing it away.

Seems like most reports are this QB class (with him part of) is not that great so how is he being hyped so much?

Maybe not hyped, but projected too high because he's a QB? Maybe the teams near the top don't perceive him to be that level of prospect to build your team around. He is QB2 in most rankings, and there is strength at other positions that can force him later in the draft projections.
