Because of where the stadium is going to be? Not until they move.
End even then, only if you called the Cavaliers the "Richfield Cavaliers".
Or the Jets the "East Rutherford Jets".
Or the Giants the "East Rutherford Giants".
Or the Cowboys the "Arlington Cowboys".
Or the Mets the "Flushing Mets".
Or the Bills the "Orchard Park Bills".
Or the Dolphins the "Miami Gardens Dolphins"

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?

He is an OK catcher, but its a stop gap this season, there is another boy in his class that is a STUD catcher, but got hurt this spring and is not playing. His real shot will come at 2nd or left. My earlier statement about the coaching staff has proved to be wrong, they brought in a new JV coach, who is HORRIBLE. we're 8 games into the season and my son only has 10AB's - in those 10 AB's, he has 2 doubles, a triple, a single, and 2 walks, and 1 HBP, do the math... he's made 4 outs this season... there are kids on the team that have 30ab's and only 1 or 2 hits - my son has caught 2 games - played 2nd one inning, and left in inning. this coach doesn't agree with the varsity coaches thoughts on sending kids that are varsity backups (like my son), down to JV to get playing time - he thinks if they are good enough to backups at varsity, they shouldn't get any time on JV - its been a long 8 games.

this new coach also told me I'm not allowed to be inside the fence taking pictures because i'm "just a parent' - even though I have permission from the AD, and the Varsity coach - kept saying its "his policy" - he's a clown

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?

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.

What's wrong with Proctor? kid is only 20 yrs old

He's a fat, lazy, overrated Bama player that can't control his weight and has problems with speed rushers. Other than that, I don't see any problems.

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?

That tweet from Russini 4 days after her kid was born is WILD.
