Or spend 30 fucking seconds with your AI platform of choice.

Maybe a full minute if you really fucked up.

Also pet peeve of mine along these same lines, first rule of Cheaters Club is you don't talk about Cheating....especially on social media.

EVER

Don't leave a digital trail and there won';t be a digital trail.

OpSec should be taught in grade school.

I'd probably go with Porter instead of Schroeder... ya can't get any worse
That was about as abysmal of an opening foray as he could ever get

Guys - OSU dodged a bullet with this kid. Good Lord.

Gonna state that Njegovan is going to wear down if he's going to be the 5. tOSU lost a lot when he came in, versus who was in there. Bynum can/will be an able 4, but Njeg's offense is quite limited. See the D potential, but just don't see the 'alley oop' potential there. Apparently Diebs is going with a guard-centric offense this year, especially if Mobley comes back. The 7'2-4" aircraft carriers got alot of play in the portal this year, and Xichigan utilized two bigs pretty darn well this year. If one can get a tall guy that doesn't trip over his own feet, can play out very well. Soooo, guess we'll see how well Diebs can weave this team together.

Did I read correctly the WR the Browns picked in the first round has a double-digit drop percentage?

And can I start calling them the Brookpark Browns now?

Click to expand...

10.6% drop rate.

Corey Coleman was 11%, for reference.

KC isn't Coleman's level of raw and shouldn't be anywhere near as shitty as a pro. But there are rightful concerns.

First round was a bit of a head scratcher. But, then again, always is. Teams keep their draft picks closer to their vest than nuclear launch codes. A leak to a newsie probably a termination offense. Anyways, the second biggest story line (first being first rounders that don't pan out), are the perennial all-stars that were selected in the later rounds. Also gotta remember that teams draft to their weaknesses (or anticipated trades/free agents etc). Have no earthly clue how/why pros draft the way they do, but always see them congratulating themselves in the 'after picture' in their war rooms. Anyone else watch Draft Day before or after this?

Burch has been offered by Indiana.

My guy showed up to the physical weighing 390. I know he'll play below that but for goodness sake keep him away from Montgomery Inn and Skyline.

Skyline would just run through him so no worries there.

Nice should have got some NIL from Reese's

Damn. A RB at 3 and WR at 4.

RB 3 is wild. I like Love I think he'll be near or better than Jamahir Gibbs I still wouldn't debate taking him till 10-15

Echo the good luck, and popcorn in the bleachers. Would recommend he beef up a bit and play catcher. More opportunities there. Sounds like he's got a good stick, and the arm to gun down runners. Enjoy these times brutus, they go by oh so quickly. Another Johnny Bench?

Is the general consensus that tOSU has 'turned a corner'? Or still too many holes in the line-up? When our kids have a good year, the pros feel that hey if he can do with a mediocre team, bet he can do better when he's got some talent around him.......kinda a joke...but the pros seem to scout out the good players, and dangle probably more money than NIL brings in - and they're playing a game they've been playing all their lives...cannot say I wouldn't leap at the chance. Play golf with a couple of guys that were drafted, one #80 (of which he's very proud), and another drafted out of Cal as a junior. Anyway, they bounced around in the minors for a time, and finally realization set in, and came back to hometown and actually both became teachers, and another played ten years in the bigs, now a Fire Dept Captain. Great memories for those guys, and gotta hope that for our Buckeyes as well. Guess my message is to follow your dream, do the best for as long as you can, and then rely on your Buckeye sheepskin to make your way in the world with some great memories.

Wanted to see how Duane Washington Jr. was doing overseas, and saw that he broke a league scoring record earlier this season.

Duane Washington scores 48 for a new all-time ABA League record​

Career-high for Duane Washington Jr (48 points, 10/14 from beyond the arc). He also had the ABA all-time high, surpassing Daron Russell, who scored 47 in 2022.

It's spelled "s-a-m-m-i-c-h"

Mobley, Williams and Givens all had similar assist rates this past season. Mobley 17%, Williams 18, Givens 16.5 - they all fit the mold of combo guard. Bruce had the highest rate on OSU at 21.5, while Pippen was at 29.4 (bona fide PG level).

but knowing how hard it hit him is how you can call embellishment. he was standing still and got tapped on the nose. then he was sprawled out on the ice like Tyson gave him an uppercut.

ahem

This was going on for two years!?!? And it took someone from outside the school to drop a dime on the dude?!?!?! WTF!!!!

Live practice like that was good/great way to see some of the newbies in live situation. Sure, the D was limited in what they could do, no blitzs, stunts, crosses, etc. Agree with most that the OL not up to par, but season doesn't start for a bit. No QB issues, the maturation process will take time. Wanted to see more of the 'insurance' QB, in case Sayin gets smooshed. Not a fan of 'touch', but no one wants injuries in an exhibition. Maybe am being a Pollyanna, but don't believe that tOSU cannot overcome any of the many problems they're facing before season opens. Pleasantly surprised that Sayin seems a bit 'thicker', hold up better, and maybe hoof a first down or TD when WRs covered. And my old eyes couldn't catch the names on the helmets, and enough numbers have changed that couldn't get a read on who's who. Tried to keep eyes on the OL, see who's in (Greer, etc), but the camera man wouldn't cooperate. Anyway, anyone see Dinardo review the Spring Game? So look forward to the B10 'team' visiting practices and then sitting down to review......happy summer all.

Finally going to win one at home in some shit weather but if i were galaxys gm I would literally fire 5-6 of my guys. Just fucking embarrassing effort
