Toot your horn

[TrustMeIamRight]

I don't have time to list them all, so I will list just one. Feel free to read any comment I have ever made though. You are welcome.

Getting Mangina to take a bet, then laughing hysterically, when he backs out of said bet a couple weeks ago. Nothing better than beating a troll at his own game.

So many of us talk of being right on other threads, yet nobody will do it here.

Oddly we happily post about how stupid we looked on certain things, but not being right.

Sounds like a challenge to me.

I was right about the Lions being good last year and sucking this year, but that's about it.

Toot toot.

I'm coming prepared for this thread. don't want to miss a thing

A challenge to be consumed with something other than Suh. It may be harder for some.

Marquise Lee was a poor pick.

I could toot a lot more too, but I will give you my best one.

I was toting for the Lions to draft Antonio Brown a few years ago. I was told by many here that a middle round pick for guy who would be a KR and a backup WR was not worth it.

I told everyone Ansah would be a beast when this whole town made fun of his glasses, and called him a retard who couldn't put his helmet on correctly.

I wanted the Lions to draft Tom Brady. Only cause he was from Mi, but still. He'd probably suck here anyways.

Helmet on correctly is no longer here.

Anybody paying attention to the play of Telvin Smith? Instead Blue won out with Van Noy. I had him going in the 4th, instead he lasted until the 5th. Coulda shoulda woulda.

Wouldn't mind Martha tooting my horn. with those sweet gums

Brady would have been dead or in a wheel chair long ago if he were a Lion.

Truthfully, he prob never sees the field in Detroit, gets cut one day to make room for Andre Fluellen.

what would have happened if Bledsoe had stayed healthy ? seriously ? do you think you would have earned the nod over Bledsoe the following year ?

you just had to bring him up. AGAIN...

I was right with you in wanting him. I thought maybe they'd have grabbed him at that spot where Lawson was picked.

toot your horn or maybe just a little Stevie Wonder harmonica solo.

Never thought about it. I'd like to think Brady's work habits and natural abilities would eventually have won him the job in camp regardless. Bledsoe was at the end of his run, injury or not.

I was just wondering your take on that situation. Hard to say the what ifs had Bledsoe been healthy. Hoodie may very well have benched Bledsoe 4-5 games into the season.

I think it was year two of Brady being there that he took over. maybe wrong, idk.

One thing I think would be agreed upon is that Bill wouldn't have hesitated one bit to make a change in 2001 if Bledsoe was stinking the joint up. Got to respect a coach that is willing to make a change mid-stream.

Bledsoe was out the door on account of money.

I loved the Pats back then. Drew was my boy. Hated that they stuck with that shitty statue that was Michigans least impressive starting QB in years. I mean seriously hated it. (Bell staying with the Lions bothered me less tbh.)

I doubt Brady would have hung around the league much longer than enough to earn his pension if he'd been drafted anywhere else. I think he has understood that his entire career. His life is better off with the Patriots. And he's been willing to do what's nneeded to keep that going. Smart guy.

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

I wasn't aware of the money issue.

at times Stafford reminds me a little bit of Bledsoe in that they both had extremely strong arms, tried to thread the needle when they shouldn't have and who'd make the consummate most ill-timed bone-headed decision. I might add in that those poor decisions came near their own end-zone or within close proximity to the red-zone.
