The NFL draft is getting closer and closer. The anticipation is driving me crazy. When the draft gets this close, then its time! Time for what you say? Time to go FULL KIPER!!!
Now that I’ve transformed into a Kiper Alien let’s talk about Marcus Peters. This defensive back is considered by most scouts to be the 2nd best cornerback available. Peters is a 6’0, 190 pound junior from Washington. Along with Danny Shelton and Shaq Thompson that Huskies defense was a formidable group.
In three years at Washington, Peters had 11 interceptions proving to be quite the ball hawk. He played a lot of zone at Washington and was even used at safety from time to time. The versatile cornerback plays well against the run, he had over 100 tackles in his college career.
Peters looks like a great prospect right? Right? Okay there is one thing. Reportedly Peters clashed with his coaches so much at Washington in 2014, that he was dismissed from the team. How bad was it? The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that he tried to strangle a coach on the sideline!
Okay, so maybe Peters is not the draftee for the Dolphins. But it is worth mentioning that a few scouts have said that reports of character concerns about Peters are greatly exaggerated.
Some scouts compare Marcus Peters to Aqib Talib, another guy with some reported off field issues. But if I was comparing Peters to anything it would be an Alien Weapon of Death. Earthlings, let me introduce you to the Galactic Snuggie of Death! It covers you like a blanket but your lifeless body will still be ice cold!
Check out this highlight clip of Marcus Peters. It will leave your breathless.

First. Nice job Wedge!
LMAO!!! Love the pic of Philbin!
Look at this LBs combine numbers:
40 YARD DASH: 4.67 SEC
BENCH PRESS: 22 REPS
VERTICAL JUMP: 37.5 INCH
BROAD JUMP: 120.0 INCH
3 CONE DRILL: 6.89 SEC
20 YARD SHUTTLE: 3.96 SEC
Might be an option at MLB
Who is it ?
Good article Pig.
Judging by this it’s safe to say piggy enjoys “PETERS” 😆
I also mentioned in my CB comparison article that Peters won’t be a Miami Dolphin. Not gonna happen.
If he was drafted
I guess we would know that Philbin is not a major voice int he war room
I would not want to draft Peters
I wouldn;t blame the Dolphisn from passing onhim
DBolt
Wait until you write a report on some one named Johnson or Cox
LOL. I’ll make sure to note in the report that it is written due to your affinity for each😉
Peters is a good player for what its worth
Piggy
I think the Head Coach has to be a voice in the War Room. He’s the guy running the show every week, and you don’t want to take a player he has strong feelings against.
I think that is is the way it should be
I guess there are oinks here and there that Philbin is not the future
but there just speculative oinks – I can’t imagine Philbn endrosing some one like Peters and in this case I agree
I had a dream last night that the Dolphins drafted a CB in round 1. I don’t know what is more disturbing, that the Dolphins went CB in round 1 or that I am dreaming about Dolphin draft choices.
Tried to strangle the coach you say. I think we found our man. LOL.
Ken
When you start having dreams that you were raped by dolphins, then it will really be disturbing. lol
I generally feel that away after most of our drafts.
I hear that!
The Clay countdown continues. What will it be to match or not to match. That is the question.
I know there were talks about giving Philbin an extension. Did it ever happen?
Not to my knowledge.
LOL @ the Galactic Snuggie of Death
I think I saw Peters mocked to us somewhere.

So you like the numbers?
I don;t really care as much about combine numbers as what I see ontape
especially when it comes to LB b/ I think instincts are paramount
But I wouldn;t rule the guy out with thos enumbers
LOL. It’s Jordan Tripp
I don;t think it would be a bad thing to draft a CB inthe 1st
I just think the only 2 prospects with 1st round grades are problematic
While Trae Waynes looks like a great CB, he isn;t really a zone guy
And Marcus Peters is problematic b/c of foff field concerns
Part of the reason I am in favor of WR at 14 is b/c of the talent at other positions
The problem with CB is what I just mentioned
The LB class is not great at the top although Kendricks at 14 is not crazy
Forget safety in the first
Scherff and Collins in the first would be good picks, but after those two I don;t think any other OL is as good as the WRs expected to be onthe board
For me, if we aren’;t adding anymore potential starters in free agency my board is kind of like this
Kevin White
Scherff
Collins
Parker
Cooper
Strong
Kendricks
Waynes
Maxx Williams
I don’t rule out a player like Waynes. If he was a better fit he would probably be up there after Collins, but I just think we willbe okay looking to the later rounds for guys with more experience in zone
Remember, our defense doesn’t play exclusively zone. We mix coverages and don’t play a lot of press, but that doesn’t mean it’s always zone. We play off man but our LBs and DBs still cover the guy in front of him. We’ve all seen Grimes covering his guy across the field.
It’s still a huge adjustment from what Waynes does
I think the good players can play in most schemes though
But it’s not ideal
Thanks for writing an article Wedge. I’m sure it was interesting- lol.
Tim,
I’m not sure that pointing out this generation is more concerned about body art than they appear to be about government is “harp”-ing. It’s just an anecdotal observation.
Okay sorry, maybe you were simply playing the pan flute like Zamfir. LOL
Ok. I suppose this has relevance; perhaps I’m just too obtuse.
Tripp is probably very much in the mix to play more at LB this year.
Daaahhhh… I think I caught the ball, I think I caught the ball… Daaahhhh… I know I caught the ball, I know I caught the ball.
“Oh no, T’was a shart!”
Well
Like I said, the combine numbers really don’t matter to me
I think it’s fair to say Tripp is in the mix
But I would be really worried about our defense if he was expected to start
We need LBs – it’s probably our biggest need
I think we are going to get a vet OG one way or another
Pig,
Follow this scouting report with one for Wakeforest’s Kevin Johnson😆. Get it out of everybody’s system. In all seriousness he’s probably higher on our list than the other 2. Good scheme fit
I have a couple LBs on deck and a WR and CB for the next few scouting reports
But I defiantly can afford to check out a few more CBs
And Kevin Johnson as well as the FAU kid and Louisiville were a few I was considering
But the draft is steadily approaching, so not sure I have too much time to work in too many cbs
You guys are Tripping . . . .
I haven’t tripped for many moons.
Whoa man, cool
Try, harping as in a harp the instrument, so I tried to make a funny with the pan flute. 🙂
Ahh- clever. Proceed.
I think of 2 things when I see the word obtuse. Geometry, but mostly “The Shawshank Redemption”
Ditto on Shawshank. One of my favorite movies.
Definitely one of mine as well.
And now, of course, Trypod.

I won’t lie, I haven’t looked at Marcus Peters much but that highlight reel gave me wood.
He’s a pretty good prospect when he is not strangling coaches

NFL’s version of Latrell Sprewell
I’m surprised the Cowboys signed Greg Hardy. He’s a real POS.
They’re already getting flack for it and rightfully so.

LMAO has he also brought a 2×4 to practice and tried to attack a teammate with it also?😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
What?
Man AJ Francis wears his twitter app out.
He’s more chatty than Omar and Miko combined.
I’m slowly warming up to Mike E’s idea.
If La’el Collins is on the board at 14, the Fins front office has a chance to solidify the entire left to right side of the starting unit with excellent talent (plus gain insurance at OT) once and for all.
How tempting is that?
However, when I think about Ali Marpet in RD 2, I jizz in my pants.
For continuous OL upgrades (OG or OT) options that may had outside of RD 1 (but earlier parts of draft process), I look at Jake
Fisher (excellent athlete; might be the most agile OL in this draft even coming off injury) and also the obvious one, Cedric Ogbuehi (1st RD talent held back by injury).
There’s also OG options in TAMU’s Jarvis Harrison (late RD option); Sean Hickey intrigues as well as a pure OT option (not sure if he will make a good OG with his height) and does WVU’s Mark Glowinski and Mizzou’s Mitch Morse.
I think TCU’s Tayo Fabuluje is the best project out there at OG. If this guy could ever get his head out of his ass and take his conditioning seriously (among other things), he’d be quite the force with his pure athleticism.
Jarvis Harrison will be this year’s Seantrel. If he can get past himeself and realize this is a profession now and be more active in working hard and treating it seriously, he is going to be an absolute stud. Those guys just have so much worry with them it makes ya cringe pushing select.
Jeremiah Poutasi, G, Utah
Height: 6-5. Weight: 335.
40 Time: 5.32.
2/28/15: Poutasi was a surprise early entry into the 2015 NFL Draft. He had his second-straight season playing well at left tackle for the Utes. Just like the Texans’ Xavier Su’a-Filo (UCLA’s 2014 NFL Draft second-rounder), Poutasi is projected to move inside to guard in the NFL. Poutasi opened a lot of holes on the ground in 2014 for running back Devontae Booker. Poutasi played well at right tackle as a freshman in 2012, so he has some versatility for the next level. Poutasi had a solid, but unspectacular, performance at the Combine.
I’ve warmed up to it too
But I would prefer that big WR like Parker or Strong
Trading down, picking up a day 2 pick and drafting Strong would be like bacon!
Al
I asked about Jarvis Harrison a couple of weeks ago. I see potential in that guy, but I don’t know a lot about him. Did you watch him play?
Also – Cool that you think La’el would be a good pick. I see him helping us in more ways than one. I think he’d be a great player for us.
More ways than 1?
Does he do something else than play football?
It would be really cool if Collins was a great OG and an expert knitter who knitted sweaters for the rest of the offense every year
LOL – You know my plan. If Albert isn’t healthy enough to start the season, he could play LT. Ten when Albert is back, slide him inside at LG.
ALBERT-COLLINS-POUNCEY-TURNER-JAMES sounds nice!
The cowboys will probably draft Marcus peters too …lol
Ok, it’s no mystery around here that I’m a big fan of coach Joe…but this was freakin’ hilarious!

Piggy,
That means the Patriots will select Peters (SMH).
Yep
And everyone will say the patriots will make them play the patriots way and straighten him out
And then when he gets arrested they will try to purge him like they knew nothing about his history
Mike E,
My thought on Collins is that it fixes the current problem with the starting unit while also investing in the future (Collins to kick out to OT after Albert is gone; either he or Turner/Thomas).
I think much about the impact of this move on Tannehill’s game. I think it won’t matter who’s out there receiving if RT has time to pick a secondary apart (much like the Tom Brady methodology; though his OL holds and gets away with it LOL).
I’ve leaned this way a few times. The Bills and Jets have very good defensive fronts and Bowles is going to make the Jets even better if they add an edge rusher at #6 which I think they will do. We have to be able to block these teams or we’ll see more of the same.
Absolutely Al. I think he might be the best true LT prospect in this draft, so when Albert is done, he’d be the LT.
It would be awesome if Peters strangled Belicheat though
“Mumble mumble mumble gasp mumble mumble mumble gasp”
Hardy would rape Peters, and when Peters healed up, he’d come back and strangle Hardy. lol
Then Hardy would pay Peters to disappear and the Cowboys would be in the market for a new CB
Mike E,
Regarding Jarvis Harrison, Mike Sherman recruited him.
I think much of scouting work for the NFL level can be simplified by considering the source of the recruit (guy recruiting him and his eye for talent raw or polished).
Makes sense

Yeah I did — he’s one of those guys you can’t help but like.
Congrats Gigi!! Sounds like you’re doing great!
jahn,
outta curiosity, why are you a big fan of philbin? just because he’s the phins coach or does he actually bring something to the table that you love?
Great job once again Wedge….I mean Piggy!
Alien or Pig
Same thing I guess
😀
Do Alien pork chops taste better?
😉
Pig — great info on Peters, but tried to strangle a coach……how much did that cost him? He sure ain’t coming here with gum wrapper Joe……..but I’m hoping he ends up in heated private meeting in the head coache’s office in Foxborough or Orchard Park.
I’m on board with Collins if the 3 top WRs are gone which is somewhat likely. I’m also on board with Kendricks as well.
If you told me I could have Collins and Perriman, I’d take that in a second. If you told me I could have Parker and Marpet or Jake Fisher, I’d take that too.
Yeah, so many good options and I’d do both as well. Either is a win for us.
There will be a lot of good WRs in the 2nd round and that might be the way we go. It’s obvious that Hickebaum believes in fortifying the lines on both sides of the ball and I’m not sure they’re done.
I like his football brain Boulder. I like his offensive mind, and I like that he came in and tried to change the culture around here even if it meant that turning the ship around wasn’t going to be a quick fix. I think he’s incredibly mentally strong and the way he handled his sons death was indicative of that, and I think this team has been constituted by too many mental midgets in the past…from Jimmy Johnsons quit/no come back/no quit antics to Saban’s lies about Alabama, to letting guys like Joey Porter lead a mutiny in the locker room (I don’t know why, but I place a lot of blame on JT for letting that happen)…this team (IMHO) needs a coach who’s going to emphasize the US of team building. You’re not one of us, you’re gone. The one common theme in all championship teams is that they play for each other, and everyone does their job. That takes a coach who truly cares for his players (I believe Philbin does) and who will get rid of team cancers no matter if it poses a risk to his own job.
Ultimately, I think the NFL is such a level playing field, cerebral, mentally intense (as opposed to rah rah in your face) coaches are the best chance of distinguishing your team and it’s culture for the long term, appearances be damned.
I’m putting myself out there with all this, but you asked. That’s why I like the guy.
I feel the same way about him, well said.
We all agree that at some point he has to win though. He’s had his team right there staring at the playoffs twice and they didn’t get it done. That can’t keep happening or Ross is probably going to make a change even though he likes Joe.
I also agree with your 2nd paragraph. I’ve asked everyone here for patience on him, but time has come to produce. The pieces are in place, we have the QB, we have some young talented recievers, we (almost) have the talent on the OL, we definitely have the talent at DL….it has to come together. This is a business, and winning is the objective of it. I long for the old days when coaches were hired for the long term, but that’s now the world we live in now. It’s time, I really hope Joe and the Fins can make it happen this year!!!
ok thanks. I disagree with much of that specially the football mind part but I respect your opinion on it.
Cheers Boulder. It’s make it or break it year for all of us.
Piggy,
You kidding me? Belicheck is a gansta himself. He’d have one of his goons make Peters disappear. lmfao
Yep. Odin Lloyd owes Belicheat money…and we all know how that went down.

Yes

Lol^^^^
Bills were very smart in the negotiations but I don’t see Clay as a 7.6 guy. Unless the QBs there miraculously get better(under Rex? LOL), then he just pulled an Eric Decker. Good for his family but bad for his production.
Not to mention his knee condition going forward.
Exactly. He’s just as likely as Cameron to not be playing long term but his contract is much heavier.
Jahn, I agree we have to be a playoff team this year. Ross didn’t sign that check for Suh for this team to keep spinning its wheels.
Not having the 3rd hurts us specifically on the strategy that includes a WR ILB and OL in first three rounds and IMO we could use one of each from the first 3. S and CB would be nice pickups in those rounds but we do have a few promising players in thos positions so im not as concerned with it.
Id also list our needs in that order WR being primary, ILB and OG being pretty equal secondaries. We can cover our ILB position, keeping Misi there and having Tripp, Jordan, McCain manage the other side. Its not ideal but it is doable. OG is the same we can bring back College, or sign Connoly and then have Turner/Thomas battle it out, or perhaps if both progress, Thomas and Turner with Connoly/College as vet depth. Again not ideal but will be ok. Both of those though could use of a guy we would expect to make the starting rotation in next couple of years, preferably sooner.
WR really needs to be our top most concern, my feeling is we should take one of the top three WR, and i believe we will have opportunity at one, or we trade back and take a ILB/OG, looking for a team willing to give up a 2nd and 3rd in exchage.
You just want Parker!
That’s my thoughts as well. The only question I have is the ability to move back. I think we have a prime spot for trading back though.
Dion Sims reps just went up. I know Cameron will be on the field a lot, but I think we’ll see Sims out there quite a bit now. Now we need Lynch to step up and provide quality depth. Maybe we find a sleeper out of the other 3 TEs on the team.
Not surprised we didn’t match. Very risky though with Cameron. I don’t buy that he’s at the same baseline as someone who never had a concussion. It doesn’t follow the pattern that other players have experienced. Maybe we really like the guys we have in house (Sims, Lynch), or maybe we sign Crabtree and draft a big WR, and that’s the plan.
Well the baseline thing is just about mental functioning. I just think it’s a tool used to determine if the effects of a concussion are completely gone. I don’t think it determines the liklihood of a future concussion at all. I could be wrong, but that’s how I understood it.
In short, I agree that he’s a health risk. The financial risk taken is acceptable though. I also really like Sims and think we could probably get by with him as a full time starter depending on what we do in the draft at TE and (more likely) WR.
Some folks here might be sleeping on Sims, but he’s made some great plays for this team when called on for the last few years, including the game winner vs. the Falcons a couple years ago. I trust him if we have to lean on him.
I don’t think clay leaving is a big surprise. Now get the oline shored up dudes.
Piggy
How did you get the cross reference for the pork chop comparison?
At least Tim read it somewhere!
LOL
Sucks hearing about Clay but again, its not the end of the world. I still hold that Clay with Cameron would have been really exciting. I had already worked out plays in my mind of how it would look lol. Such is life. I dont think Sims or Lynch can moke those formations work as well, nor do i see any of the draft picks that also give us that. Guess we will see. I think though now for sure our focus will be on WR’s and i dont think they will try to draft Clay’s replacement (as in a higher round TE selection) but rather focus on WR’s and perhaps pick up a value pick TE later. There a few out there that could be stretch the field types that also could be worked in with Cameron to really open things up, and they would be later round guys.
I think that’s a luxury that few teams every have had. Last year the Pats had to pair Hoomanui (however the hell you spell it) with Gronks. That two headed “Flex TE” monster has only happened when both Gronk and Hernandez were on the field and healthy IMHO, and it’s not a practical way to build your offense because as we saw last year, someone gets hurt and you have to re-work the whole scheme.
Regarding 3rd RD, the Fins can certainly use their 4th and a 5th to acquire one (maybe not for an early 3rd but whatever).
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
In depth news QB Tarvaris Jackson and center J.D. Walton are visiting today as UFA. (Not the lead, but whatever).
I view the 3rd we traded to the Saints for Stills as getting a 22 year old speed WR who has already proven he can play ahead of the draft. It seems like some of you are too focused on not having a 3rd which is going to be used on a prospect that we don’t know will pan out. Just pencil Stills in as our 3rd, it’s really easy.
1.
2.
3. WR Kenny Stills
4.
5.
6a.
6b.
Fins got a 5th for Wallace, no?
Yes, I screwed up, 5a. and 5b. and 6.
Some flat out dilike the loss of picks, Tim. Im not one of them if what we get in return is worth it, and at least for now i do consider Stills worth it. Still does not change the fact that as you illustrated above, it locks our 3rd round pick in as a WR, where as before it could have been something different. I dont think Still would be worth us not selecting a WR in top 3, and i see Still more as what kind of guy were were hoping we would get with a second WR pick out of the 4-6th, so i guess all im saying is it kind of shifted and took a little flexibility away from our strategies. We can get it back though with a trade back or other maneuvers.
Okay, so we just got back $7M in cap space. How much do we have now?
Walton sucks ass
Some people are into that…..
Jahn
The Patriots got Tim Wright last year. He only had 26 catches, but he did have 6 TD’s for NE last season
Still, not the same setup as they had with Hernandez and Gronk, or we dreamed of with Cameron and Clay or Keller and Clay.
Just goes to my point that building an offense around that scheme isn’t practical, and even with Wright and Gronk, Belichick didn’t go there last year. There’s another element to having 2 flex TEs on the field, it leaves the QB more vulnerable.
I just think folks around here have had unrealisitic dreams for years of a 2 Flex-TE attack in Miami. We’re not going to be that next year, so lets look at what’s possible instead of what’s not.
Yeah, I admit to being one of those that likes the 2 TE sets, and we can still do it with Cameron and Sims.
Yeah, and in many ways I prefer that personnel setup, because we know that Sims can block in line too. He’s a different kind of a duel threat. He’s a blocker that you have to scheme around, but if you don’t keep your eye on him, he’s a guy who’ll sneak out and grab a TD catch against you.
One thing that I like about Hickey & Tannenbaum is that those two at least know that you build a D and O from the inside out and not the other way around (strong lines on both sides).
Tim,
We have 16.5M of space when Clays contract comes off the books.
That’s two good players. Three with a pinch of Dawn Magic.
Jahn
I also think you might be right about Sims. He may be ready to turn the corner, and I also agree on his (Cameron’s) financial investment. I was more worried about letting Clay go and then losing Cameron. Hopefully it doesn’t happen.
It’s a legit concern. There’s another TE on the roster…what’s his name? I hear you’re heading up his fan club. 🙂

Wait…let me translate.
“Oink oink oinnnk oiiknooink oink Oink oink.”
And something about “cocks” for Tim’s
Tough to see Clay go but that’s biz in pro sports. You can’t pay everyone and have to allocate salary appropriately by utilization rate (production as well). Clay is a fancy weapon against tougher defenses; not really the type of primary option you will use week to week. I think if the running game becomes more consistent; the OL is more consistent on passing downs, there will naturally be less reliance on plays to someone like Clay between the 20s. Around the endzone, Clay’s inability to sky high limited his TD production. I keep having visions of “what if” he had better range in that Detroit game (Fins would have come out with a W perhaps).
Jahn – Jake Stoneburner? 😉
LOL!
Good size. Functional short-to-intermediate target. Can adjust to throws and extend to catch. Strong and competitive after the catch. Willing to engage and compete as an in-line blocker. Has special-teams experience. Hardworking and football smart.

A draft evaluation of the TE whose name shall not be mentioned.
BTW — not sure how serious his injury was, but putting him on IR was a way to stash him without risking he got poached. Dude could have been a weight room warrior by Game 11.
Lynch
Jahn,
Really enjoyed your post about Philbin and you mirror my thoughts exactly. (Not sure that is a good thing for you..LOL) It is really part of what has the made the Packers a success. If you do not contribute to the continuity of the locker room, you do not fit. A team needs to have a family type make-up, and I think Joe is trying to achieve that. Now it needs to transfer into wins, because for the most part the pieces are falling into place.

————————————-
I definately dont think you “build an offense around it” i think our offense is already built for it. Understand a OC, has more than just what his playbook has in it. He also has a different playbook he brings to each game. What talent he has at what positions unlocks the potential for new plays or allows for those plays to be included each week depending on defensive matchup. Haing Cameron and Clay didnt change our offense at, it just opened up some plays and probably enhanced the success of others that were already included. Every play has a potential for success but also goes to setting up potential for other plays…so more plays you can bring the better your offense works.
Again, Clay wasnt not esential, but it would have been nice to have for sure. Ill cite your example and the success the Pats had with Gronk/Hernandez as proof.
Would have been nice, but as usual the evil genius just did the best with what he had. They took Gronk in the 2nd and he turned out all world. And then in Hernandez they had a fourth rounder who ended up being a top ten TE. So Bill put them both in play, but you can’t try to recreate that kinda magic, except at a great price…….and one we obviously weren’t willing to pay.
I certainly would never challenge the efficacy of it, but my greater point was that it’s a very very rare set of circumstances in which that becomes a feature of any NFL offense, so every year when we obsess over it it’s kind of wasted energy. I never ever expected us to have an offense like that until Keller came along, than I saw how when that very rare mix of talent finds itself on one team, (which, I’d argue we still didn’t have the OL play to pull it off) and one injury harpoons the whole offensive feature.
I know well the difference between a gameplan and playbook, but you have to install every feature you plan on using during the course of a season…in the pre-season. That costed our offense progress in other areas when we spent all that time and energy on Keller/Clay, and in one play all that install work went into the circular file.
No doubt it CAN work, but the situations where it WILL are too far and few between to spend any time energy on it. JMHO.

then you sooooo dont get it. i am telling you i make fun of every fucking thing and you tell me i am serious and to lighten up. then finish with ‘that shit is disturbing’
ok, you win. i am moving on.
” i am telling you i make fun of every fucking thing “……….no doubt on that one, part of the ffr……well I’ll call it……charm. 🙂
I blame FFR s sister for Randy being so grumpy and demanding all the time. I don’t know if she is exceptional and Randy now expects that in all aspects of life, or if she leaves him with way too much time to pick apart amazing articles like the one he impugned yesterday. I will leave that to FFR and Randy to further discuss.
For some reason right now…..I’m thankful I have no idea what that reference is about.
If I find out later that FFR’s sister is really Lauren Tannehill, that’s going to explain a lot of why Randy hates on Ryan so much.
🙂
Lol!
new age
……..that is disturbing.
LOL!

wow can you imaging that. Try thinks i am disturbed now, just imagine if he finds out lauren is my sister and i talk so much about having sex with lauren.
Lol..that’s disturbing alright. 🙂
Actually, I kinda assumed that part already, though I never considered she might be Lauren T.
lol. ouch.
Sounds like a VC Andrews book lol.
Just wanted to say that I guess that the 90% was right after all.

tsk tsk tsk. you naughty naughty boy. what kind of sick disturbing humor is this. shame on you.
this board has
a man who cant ring up a pair of glasses cause his fingers are too sticky from giving men a helping hand
a surfer boy who isnt afraid of sharks cause he thinks he is god
a happily married attorney who hits on every wv chick there is on this board
a man who thinks his junk is so big he calls himself a trypod
a man who works with the mental ill yet he isnt smart enough to move out of Minn.
a man so peaceful and laid back that he cut down all the fucking shrubbery to kill the birds
and finally
a guy who thinks he is a pig and can fly
yet i am the one that is disturbed.
LOL — what makes this place so cool is everyone is screwy, and some of us just a bit more so during tax season. 🙂
LOL
Fuck sharks!

i am very offended that you think i am not as screwy outside of tax season. i like to think of myself as an equal opportunity screwer year round.
LOL — the pressure of getting that stuff together to send on to someone like you puts me on edge…….can only imagine what it is like for you.
LOL @ FFR!
“The most catches Clay has made in a game are seven, accomplished four times. In those four games, his yardage totals were 97, 80, 31 and 45…In 58 career games, only twice has he surpassed 100 yards,”
Worthy of 4th best paid TE in the league?
Fins answer: No.
Bills answer: Yes.
There’s clearly some upside potential there that hasn’t been realized too because of injuries, so they may be paying for that upside potential to an extent. Ryan has seen Clay hurt his teams on more than one occasion, so he’s not flying blind at least..even if he’s a nutjob.
I know I repeat myself, but I keep going back to $8 mil per year gets you a mid-level #1 or a kick ass #2 wideout. And yeah he’s a nutjob. 🙂
I think he’s generally regarded as better than a mid-level #1 TE, but that’s what it comes down to. How a team values him. Clearly the fins valued him less than the Bills, but far better than a “mid-level” TE. Remember when he ran over the entire San Diego defense a couple years back? When healthy he’s a game changer.
Not to argue the point, but what he gets paid clearly comes down to how teams graded him. The fins were willing to pay 7M for a year. The Browns somewhere in that vicinity (if the reports are true) and the Bills thought he was worth a little more. Standard stuff.
Stoneburner stoneburner stoneburner
That is all
So two things are official
1) Clay is a Bill
2) Tim is out another jersey
3) — #2 is alive and well.

Fuck sharks!

Giving or receiving? you know sharks have TWO penises right?
only one vajayjay though…..how does that work?
They do vag and anal at the same time. Female sharks are sluts.
bowe to the browns. Crabtree and jennings left still.
And we thinks we are lacking in social skills.

Ashley Brady, 26, of Miamisburg, lost her right leg in an accident last year. So she got the complex to give her a handicapped spot near her unit.
Days later, Brady found someone else parked in the spot, and left a polite note asking the motorist to keep out of the spot,.
The handwritten reply Brady found on her car’s windshield was, to put it mildly, extreme.
“Hey handicap! First, never place your hands on my car again! Second, honey you ain’t the only one with ‘struggles,’ the note read. “You want pity go to a one leg support group! You messed with the wrong one! I don’t care what your note said shove it, but you touch my car again I will file a report, I am not playing! I let the office know the cry baby one leg touches my property I will cause trouble so go cry your struggles to someone who cares cause I’m walking away with both mine! (expletive)”
The “person” who left that note on her care would find their car smashed as if by a hail storm of concrete blocks. I would fucking take a hammer to every surface of that POS’s car! what a dickhead!!
Makes me want to do it anywayt, even though I don’t know her and I hate “Brady” and my future X is named Ashley. (whom I hate now too)
My guess is she’s real famous around the complex now since it went viral. Even if her car stays in one piece…..every walk around that complex is going to be one of shame. Time to move.
LOL
Good thing this person has both legs. Goona need them running away from the flames and demons of hell.
I don’t know, anymore the jerkoffs are the ones that get their way while the decent people get screwed over.
Does Miko live next to her?

rock,
i could explain this to you with pictures of my sister and randy but then poor ole Try would just get all upset at how disturbed i am.
(Try, just having some fun with your comment)
or you could just post a link to your sisters web-page…
I go for option 2
In my firm bracket I had Iowa state int he final 4
and they lost
WTF they have only played 2 games and I’m out
Same here….only my “bracket” is not “firm”….at least not right now…
my bracket got a little excited I guess…
LOL
Who would have the Cyclones in a final four…I mean seriously? 😉
eh-hem
Hey, leave those people of special needs alone!!!!!
@BenVolin: #Firepower RT @evansilva: #Browns WRs Dwayne Bowe, Brian Hartline, and Andrew Hawkins combined for 4 TDs on 162 receptions in 2014.
Stanger, the person who wrote the asshole letter back was a woman?
Yep…..
WTF
there is a city named Miamisburgh
Stanger is that a fake story???
Nope…..unless the reporters got completely faked out.
In Ohio Pig
That explains why all her neighbors are cocksuckers
X
she should go out there and just put a trail of left shoe prints all over her car. then when the bitch complains to the office, she can just say that is impossible i am couldnt do that, i am innocent i tell you, i am standing on the right side here.
LOL — my guess is she needn’t do that……….that woman already has her payback coming. Including that reporters are making her phone ring off the hook right now. She sounds stupid enough though that she just might try to defend he actions.
Okay the bitch that wrote that nasty note to the woman without a leg, they should strip her nude, tie her bent over, legs spread and put her in a pen with male goats.
Then the entire community can yell things like “hey two legs, looking good!!!” “love those groaning sounds you make, is that a new death metal song?”
That’s disturbing!
the bitch would have a broken windshield EVERY morning when she came out to her car. (after she had the 10000 hammer dents removed)
well i can see tim has been to my sisters webpage.
is it wrong to say i got a little excited reading tims comment.
