    Where are Nixon’s people at?

    Congrats to ISM and Nixon. The ESPN analysis said that he ‘doesn’t play up to his talent’. Which is shocking, considering the results.

    Where are Nixon’s people at?

    ......and neither of ESPN’s ‘experts’ have him in their top 10. Cincy just picked a DT who had lower career numbers than Nixon did last year. Not sure at all what these ‘red flags’ are, but I’m stunned that nobody in the league has taken a shot.

    Where are Nixon’s people at?

    Just read in an article that Pro Football Focus had Nixon going in the 4th to Cincy. From reading tweets this morning, he’s on everyone’s ‘best available’ list. So hopefully he won’t fall much further. PFF also had ISM as a 4th.

    Food Thread

    I’m not okeefe, but I’ve smoked salmon. Brined in brown sugar/salt, smoked as low as I could for a couple hours. Turned out great. You could also just cure for a couple hours, maybe with some dill. All times are, of course, dependent on the size of the fish. Like Ree, I think Sunday will be...

    Glanced through Walter Football’s 7-round draft

    Most of what I’d read from the ‘experts’ said that after the QBs, Pitts, and a couple linemen there wasn’t much of a consensus In terms of order. And heck, you’re basically splitting hairs on relative talent after, say the first 10-15 through the end of the 3rd. Plus, as much as GMs say they...

    Glanced through Walter Football’s 7-round draft

    Nixon started as a mid-round 2nd several weeks ago in this same draft site. Not sure why they’ve dropped him. And yeah, Niemann is a head-scratcher given his measurables. Looking at some of his highlight tape the only thing I can see is that he seems to lose his legs when tackling, but holy...

    Glanced through Walter Football’s 7-round draft

    I think Smith’s issue is speed. Cant remember his pro day numbers, but I think he was in the 4.6 range.

    It's that time of the year! Transfers in the B1G

    Makes sense for Jensen. She’s buried under a pretty good group of guards.

    Chauvin Verdict

    I don’t disagree about the system needing overhaul. In general, cops need to de-escalate, not antagonize. The videos of the traffic stop escalating in Va. is a good example. That cop was an asshat and escalated a situation to the point of (my opinion, again) him assaulting the military guy...

    Chauvin Verdict

    And I think that the transparency we get from witness or security videos or body cams is good. If you’re right about it being worse before this, and I think you are, then transparency doesn’t allow the police to reinforce the behavior of bad cops. To be clear, I don’t believe all cops are bad...

    Chauvin Verdict

    They didn’t have a 9:29 video showing the deaths that’s been seen all over the country in the Simpson trial, either. Would‘ve been pretty rough to find jurors somewhere who hadn’t been exposed to it.

    Kylie Feuerbach Transfers to Iowa!

    Looked at some video, and both look fairly quick for their height. Ediger shoots the three, but has a very low release.

    Chauvin Verdict

    Either guilty or a hung jury.

    Kylie Feuerbach Transfers to Iowa!

    From reading about Ediger, she seems to be able to shoot the 3 as well. They upped her height to 6’3”, too. I’ve got high hopes for both of them.

    Yep, you’re right.

    Kylie Feuerbach Transfers to Iowa!

    We have a log jam at guard. The only losses there were Sevillian and Sanders, neither of whom were in the rotation, and we’re adding Feuerbach and Althoffer, and at least Feuerbach will be an instant contributor. What we REALLY need is for Ediger or Ollinger or both to be immediate...

    Story: Jack Nunge Transferring to Xavier

    Good luck to him. Been an incredibly rough road for him. He deserves some good karma.

    Song that you can't stand...

    Songs about writing songs generally aren’t that exciting. Kath’s guitar solo is amazing, though. And yeah, the horn section sings on that one. Here’s a cool live version. I seem to remember hearing that the drum tech got canned after, but don’t know for sure. (And the white pants........)...
