bad wording....It's not fair that i feel bad that a guy like him goes out this way. But, he no doubt deserves to go out. I don't really feel bad for any of the other guys. I don't know if I actually explained myself any better.

Hard to imagine anyone from the Ravens keeping their job after today's cover up news. Will be sad to see a legend like Ozzie Newsome shamed out of the league but he has to go, along with anyone else involved in this cover up.
And it's not fair but it sucks way more that newsome is part of the group.

I've been struggling on offense as well. I'm decent and getting better on D.
-
His stand up always sideswiped his problems....but, he was so damn funny you didn't think of the real problems underneath.

I'm a Chicago fire fan....not on top of things as much as I like. Mostly because i'm waiting for a team slightly closer to get added to the MLS. I may have to settle on the Fire.

my first thought with the retirement thought was though....Sonnen is going to train for the wwe. I hope i'm right, though I doubt it.

Yea, that went.....really badly...watching on the Rooster Teeth side you, you could tell they were starting to get annoyed. I figured Rockstar set it up because they had posted some of Rooster Teeth let plays on their social media sites and seemed to be a part of a bigger thing that, they were doing.

If anybody, Justin Gilbert would have been that guy, but he wasn't there. They have talked about wanting a "flame thrower" at OLB, so I'd be surprised if the 2nd or 3rd rounder isn't a OLB. Our LBers weren't bad, but we could definitely stand to upgrade Ashlee Palmer. Levy had a pro bowl year and Tulloch is rock solid, they could make that group better with a talented rookie.
CB is weird for us, everybody thinks it's a huge need (and yeah I don't disagree). We have Bentley, Slay, Green, and Greenwood as guys going into their second and third year, you hope Bentley and Slay really make a huge leap. I think Slay started to improve quite a bit as the season went on but got hurt. Chris Houston has normally played well for us battled injury all year and played bad, they probably hope if he's healthy he can return to form. We brought back Rashean Mathis, who probably was our best CB last season, he is 34 and him being your best CB is not a good sign.
Safety isn't a bad option either, Glover Quinn and the new guy from the Ravens should be fine, but we have little depth behind them. The guy that isn't Quinn is also not a young man, and may not even pan out.
Oh and DE...that's a position we could use depth as well. We have Ziggy, Taylor, and Jones. Jones is coming off injury, and we don't know if Taylor is going to be evolve beyond a situational pass rusher (though he played very well for us last year given his draft position).
I find it interesting that the cat from FSU is listed as a WR, but has basically the exact same size as Ebron. Ebron has ten pounds on him, otherwise they're about the same size.
I pretty much agree with all this. The lions were a team last year that under performed more than they were just bad. They have needs but nothing that is a massive need.
-
Ebron.
Jesus christ. I didn'tlike the Ziggy pick, so hope this works out. Just seems insane when he have Pttigrew and Fauria already. Blech. And we still probably take a WR in the second.
DDon't worry, the defense will fix itself.
I doubt we take a WR 2nd....I think he more or less takes the place as the other option since he can be split out. Plus, Fauria is more of a situation player than Ebron.
Or yea, what you said the 2nd time around.
The more I stew on this pick, I am actually starting to really like it. I wont lie, I didn't know much other than he was an athletic tight end who had a knock on him for dropping passes.
As I read more about him, he's probably going to play a bit as WR because of his speed, and the drop thing seems to be overblown. I've read that he had four last season, I can live with that considering our dude Calvin had as many if not more than that. It's not as if he's another TE like Pettigrew, he can actually stretch the field and get yards after the catch. Imagine a goal line situation with him, Calvin, and Fauria. It's going to be hard for teams to go up against that much size, add Tate and Pettigrew into that mix, it's potent.
A lot of folks really wanted a DB, but we still have a bunch of young corners looking to turn the corner (no pun intended), and typically a DB doesn't come in and dominate as a rookie. It's not a bad idea to go with the best available talent at 10, and if the Lions believe it was Ebron, I can buy that.
That said, they have a great opportunity to get some players in the second, third, and fourth (three picks there). If it's up to me I'm getting a OLB, a DB, a Center to groom for next season, a QB to groom as our back up to Stafford (and maybe an insurance policy if he continues his mediocrity), and perhaps a WR with one of them fourth rounders. I wouldn't be opposed to a safety or defensive end either.
Honestly, I'm hoping the second and third get us some help on the defensive side, and from there they can start doing whatever the fuck they want.
The first round was always going to be the Best player available in their eyes. It always is. The lions are lucky in the sense that there will be decent talent for their positions of need, in those mid rounds. I'm sure it made the decision of just adding another weapon easier. I didn't see a DB in the first round that I thought was worth the Tenth pick in term of impact for the Lions.

Did anyone watch the Bad Boy's 30 for 30 tonight? As someone that had his dad giving him his first bottle as the microwave clinched the 2nd championship, it was a great education. My parent's have raised me on stories about them, and this just added to them. I loved it.

If I'm right, and I checked, I am....Clay is the youngest of the first nine. It makes sense if he's a bit of a background character at the start. Then he could gain cred, in SAMCRO.

Wasn't Clay the last, of the first Nine? he was a few years younger than everybody else I thought.

Down go Kansas.

It is......i've learned. aren't they decent at baseball too. I know they have like one other sport.
Honestly, my bracket Hinges on my homer pick of Michigan. Like it seems every team is, at their best they can win it all. Or they will be gone by tomorrow.
-
I just realized I made that pick in a company pool and not ours so.....really it sucks in that sense, since I was in the lead.....
Hey, Nebraska, I had a big heart for them, maybe they could shock the world. I didn't think their coach would be tossed or anything.
-
Does the Stephen F. Austin pick make up for my Nebraska pick?
-
I know I know.....I said that to myself about three times before I settled on it....Really should of said it one more time.
-
I only had them in the sweet sixteen but it will be my 2nd sweet sixteen team I'm going to to lose with Nebraska looking pretty bad today.
-
I don't think I've ever had a perfect day one before yesterday. I'm fully prepared for it all to go to hell today.
-
It's on spotify and most other internet sources. It is good.
-
So the Cherlene album they released.....actually pretty good if you like country at all.

Yea, the almost pecking seems to be about the only way for me to get pass it as well.

That's going to backfire on LSU.
