The Front Porch / Re: I still read an actual pap...
Last post by Sem - May 03, 2024, 11:08:10 PM
Ric can relate. Growing up near Binghamton as a youth we had two daily papers. The Sun Bulletin, which was delivered in the early mornings, and The Binghamton Evening Press, which was delivered around 4pm every day. I used to like reading the Sun Bulletin's sports pages in the morning before heading off to school. But they never had the west coast baseball scores. No internet then, so I had to wait until I got home to check the late scores in the evening paper. At some point the two papers merged and became The Press & Sun Bulletin, which was delivered in the mornings. Some time around 2008(?) I canceled the paper though when our "paperboy" sued us for $50,000. I haven't subscribed to a physical paper since.

Quote from: ViewFromSection129 on May 03, 2024, 03:17:15 PMWe've had next to no mid to late round hits in 15 plus years, which is why we have been stuck in the mud as a franchise.
Bingo!

Quote from: Philosophers on May 03, 2024, 05:13:55 PMI am not surprised.  That year felt to me the NFL teams falsely manufactured prospect QB talent than was actually there.  Other than Lawrence nobody during the college football season said Wilson or Lance would be top 5 picks.

And unless you were/are a fan of FCS football there's a better than good chance you never saw Lance play

His Pro Bowl year the team was 2-10-2 after being oh so close to the NFL championship just the year before.  My guess is he was the lone NYG representative

Winner: Kayvon, help on the other side. Jones. JMS,  vets to help with stunts next to him. Bellinger,  chance to be a starter. 
Loser: Ojularri. Drx, nit enough DT quality or depth. Neal, might get pushed out ar RT.

Quote from: Jclayton92 on May 03, 2024, 06:37:46 PMWinner Pinnock, Bobby Ok, and Flott- Pinnock because he gets to stay at FS and continue to grow with Nubin at Strong. Flott because drafting Phillips gets him another Shot at boundaOK, Bobby Ok will thrive with all the talent around him on the front 7, and only get better.

Losers- Belton, Bellinger, and Gray- Drafting a safety let's Belton know that he will only get snaps if he beats Pinnock. Since Bellinger has been drafted we traded for a TE, and drafted another. I think he's the first person at risk of losing his job because Theo is a better talent now than Bellinger is now. Gray got stuck in the doghouse and never got out, maybe taking KR duties away finally will let him focus.

I see Nubin as a better free safety.  I think that's what he played in college as well.

 I couldn't start the day with my Newsday in front of me. Great sports section, love the extra daily puzzles they have now since the pandemic, and every once in a while I get my letter to the editor published.

The price has skyrocketed but I get a great deal from them and have had this same deal for the past 4 years.

I don't recall a season where we have had average or better RT play since McKenzie.  Elumenor should be the front runner and best we have had man RT in a dozen years

Tomorrow marks the anniversary of the Kent State shootings that really shocked the world. May 4, 1970

With what is happening in the world today, can something like this happen again?
