In the words of the late great Jimv, who is Cody Benjamin and why should we care about his opinion?

DJ is not rock bottom, cmon. He regressed terribly last year, but the real question with him now is his health. Can he stay upright is more pressing than his ability.

So, I am to believe that guys like JJ MCcarthy, Bo Nix and Bryce Young are better QBs than DJ? What a waste of time for CBS to even post that garbage. Zero credibility and nonsense.

I don't really know what criteria they are using, but common sense tells me ranking guys who have never taken a snap in the NFL ahead of any veteran is just a big red flag as far as credibility goes.

Quote from: Trench on May 09, 2024, 12:17:56 PMYour post makes no sense to me whatsoever. I have no ill will towards whatever you believe or root for. I simply ask you for the same courtesy.

If you think I was discourteous to you, you have no idea what that means. As for ill-will, call it what you like, but you also seem confused as to whom, what and why I have been critical. Otherwise, I have no idea what you are talking about. Perhaps, that's just as well.

Cheers!

Daniel Jones
NEW YORK GIANTS QB
The Giants reportedly dabbled with replacing their rehabbing investment, whose ball-security issues returned behind a porous line in 2023. Perhaps Malik Nabers can restore his fortunes.

Quote from: LennG on May 09, 2024, 11:28:21 AMYesterday, on Disney, they released a film that hasn't been shown in over 50 years. 'Let It Be' is a movie that hasn't been shown anywhere for 50 years and now, restored is being shown on Disney starting yesterday.
Since we are true die-hard Beatles fans and will gobble up anything new about them, we grabbed our after-dinner snacks and sat down to watch and we weren't disappointed.

https://www.salon.com/2024/05/07/beatles-let-it-be-review-disney-plus/

We had previously watched the 3-part (6 hour I believe) film by Peter Jackson, "Get Back" which we also loved but there were parts in Get Back that really could have been eliminated and probably 3 hours would have been sufficient, but now, with Let It Be, basically 90 minutes telling how and showing most of the Beatles last concert on the rooftop, was superb.

If you are a Beatles fan, this is Can't Miss TV.









I haven't seen this yet, (don't have Disney), but I'm sure I will someday. Not sure if this was pointed out in the film or not, but in the second picture above, "Get Back Take 1," the young man you see on the left with dark hair and wearing a tie, is a young Alan Parsons of The Alan Parsons Project. At the time he was a 20 year old kid employed at Abbey Road Studios. He set up the cabling for the rooftop concert. He's also listed as Assistant Engineer on the Beatles' albums Let it Be and Abbey Road. His duties included being the tape operator and "teaboy" (fetched tea for the fab four during recording sessions). Not a bad gig for an 18 year old, or at least he was when recording began for Let it Be in 1968.
