At the moment of this writing, the Dolphins have 6 tight ends on the roster, but realistically, at most we will carry 4, and even more likely 3. The two guaranteed to stick are the most recent draftees, 2nd RD pick Mike Gesicki and 4th RD pick Durham Smythe. After Gesicki and Smythe, the coaches seem to really like A.J. Derby who was picked up last season after DEN waived him. There is also 5 YR veteran MarQueis Gray, and recent pickup Gavin Escobar who played for the Cowboys for 4 seasons. Also still hanging around is Thomas Duarte, Dolphins 2016 7th RD draft pick. We have better depth at TE than any time in recent memory, and this should be a fun battle to see play out because the 3rd and possibly 4th spots should be really competitive.
Mike Gesicki TE – 6’6″ 250
2018 2nd RD pick, Gesicki is the kind of athletic receiving threat many fans have been craving for more than a decade. 4.54 speed, 41.5″ vertical, 6.76 3 cone, this guy is a fast, agile, explosive athlete. He will be in a tough battle for playing time with his fellow draftee Durham Smythe, because what Gesicki lacks in blocking skills, Smythe has in spades. Gesicki has made it clear he is willing to block and learn how to, and wants to become a more rounded NFL TE.
________________________________________________________________
Durham Smythe TE – 6’5″ 253
2018 4th RD pick, Smythe was a big part of the success of the run game at Notre Dame. Known for his excellent blocking, toughness and tenacity, he truly helped propel the Irish’s running game. Seldom used as a receiver, just 28 receptions and 244 yards and 6 TD’s in 4 seasons, he definitely has value as a receiver too. Smythe’s blocking skills should enable him playing time as an inline TE and also as a 2nd TE.
_______________________________________________________________
A.J. Derby TE – 6’4″ 255
Derby is a former 6th RD pick of the New England Patriots who was eventually cut by NE and picked up by the Denver Broncos. In 2016 Derby caught 16 passes for 160 yards with the Broncos. Derby played only one season at TE for Arkansas, so he came into the NFL pretty inexperienced. He has good speed, running the 40 in 4.67 at his pro day. In DEN in 2017, Derby caught 19 passes for 228 yards and 2 TD’s. For the Dolphins, Derby appeared in 9 games, catching 2 passes for 20 yards. Not a huge body of work for the soon to be 27 year old TE, either in college or the pros, but the coaches here see potential, although he will have to realize some of that potential in TC and preseason games to stick here.
________________________________________________________________
MarQeuis Gray TE – 6’4″ 263
Gray has spent the last 2 seasons here in Miami, but has played for Cleveland, Tampa, Buffalo and Minnesota. In 2014, Gray made his NFL tour having a cup of coffee with the Bucs, Vikes and finally settling in with the Bills. The Dolphins picked him up in 2016 and has played appeared in all 32 games, with 7 starts. As a Dolphin, Gray has 15 receptions for 184 yards. Gray has lined up as a 2nd TE and also H-back/FB, and has shown decent blocking ability.
_________________________________________________________________
Gavin Escobar TE – 6’6″ 260
Escobar played 5 seasons for the Cowboys and although he didn’t get a ton of opportunities, he certainly made the most of them. Escobar caught a total of 30 passes for 333 yards and 8 TD’s. Not a blocker, he’s definitely a receiving TE. Escobar has long arms and big hands, and despite the fact he doesn’t have good speed, he has good reliable hands and with 8 TD’s in only 30 receptions, he makes them count. I think Escobar and Derby are will be in a tight competition to claim what may be the last 1 or 2 posts on the roster at TE.
_________________________________________________________________
Thomas Duarte TE – 6’2″ 244
Duarte has spent the last 2 seasons on the PS after being drafted in the 7th RD of the 2016 NFL draft by the Dolphins. Duarte was a WR at UCLA who has bulked up with the hopes of being a move TE in the NFL. Not a blocker, but a smooth, athletic route runner who really came on his senior season at UCLA, catching 53 passes for 872 yards and 10 TD’s. The Dolphins like Duarte, they have kept him around for 2 seasons on the PS, and I think his best bet to remain with the team would most likely be in that capacity again. He will have a hard time beating out veterans Escobar and Derby, but a very strong showing could give him an outside shot.

Let’s see, what can we troll today… RT, nah, that was yesterday, Ajayi vs Drake, nah, been done, Landry, nah, everyone is on the same side. Ah fuckit RT it is 😁
You use that term loosely, I doubt evaluating a players ability is hardly being a “troll” if you want to see a troll look in the mirror.
You don’t even know what a troll is. Try googling it. I posted it for you yesterday, but you surely didn’t think it applied to you. It’s all in fun though. As long as we keep it light like yesterday.
What else would we have to talk about this time of year? Politics, music, other sports…
I wasn’t able to log in this morning. Something going on with blocking certain things here at work. I could read the article and comments, but couldn’t log in

Rob – The Mets are coming for your Marlins. I think we can overtake you man!
are you striving for the cellar?
I think the Mets are. I’m indifferent at this point. My only hope is that if they continue to spiral down that they will realize major changes need to happen, and therefore they trade deGrom, and then continue to sell off and start the rebuild.
And just think, 3 short years ago you were battling the Royals in the world series, the Mets came out to start this season on fire! had everyone fooled

_______________________________
Yes, i also think he read my comments yesterday.
Ha, maybe so
Rob – Yeah, they fooled me too early on in the season. Without Cespedes in the lineup, they are so different. Even with him they struggle, but w/o him they’re ghastly. They’re too old, too slow, they need some young talented players with some speed. Cespedes can’t stay healthy, Bruce is definitely struggling with plantar fascitis. The starting pitching has been money for the last month or so, but we can’t score. If we don’t hit a HR, we can’t manufacture runs.
Somehow i don’t feel sorry for you… at least you have the $$$ to get players
I don’t expect any sympathy, we’re just discussing shit. We have money, but the Wilpon’s are reluctant to spend big $$$ contracts. We’re not a big market team like the Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, we’re a tier below them.
watching the US open, Tiger +8… course is tough… only 4 players under par at -1….
Shinnesteve Hills
or maybe shinnerock hills???….not sure but a tough course!
Lol
M13,
I agree with your sentiment about Tanny and the organization’s response to Landry.
……chirp….chirp…..
Take the high road, and let that loudmouthed prick run himself in circles talking shit if that’s what he wants to do. The best response is for Tanny and this team to go out and have a great year.
And if Cleveland ends up in the 3-13, so much the better.
And if Landry puts up worse numbers than he did when Tanny was throwing to him, that’s icing on the cake.
We’ll see who he’s bitching at when they’re 0-6.
Yep!
I don’t think CLE will be that bad this year.
I don’t either. Tyrod is the type of QB that can keep you from being the worst team and the best team.
They should be much better,
1-31 brings a ton of talent via the draft,
And they ain’t done too bad via FA either…
Should be much better unless they rely on completing 100 plus to the slot!!!
Mike, the Mets need a change in philosophy and that can only start with a total rebuild.
No doubt, which means beheading Sandy Alderson. Well, at least firing him. lol
LOL, being that the Wilpon’s don’t want to be big spenders, the best way for them is to build a young team. Fans will go to the ballpark to watch a fun and exciting team of young players. The team they have now is like watching paint dry.
Watching a wall poorly painted dry. Now the defense is breaking down, and the bullpen implodes daily, and the offense steadily disappoints. They have nothing. It’s hard to even judge Conforto fairly because no one is hitting in this lineup including him
Don’t know what’s up with Conforto, I thought he was going to be a dynamic hitter, average and power.
Tim – I think Conforto has been overrated like so many other outfield prospects in the past in the Mets organization. Alex Ochoa, Jay Payton, Alex Escobar, Lastings Milledge etc . . .
That sucks! So many people who watched Conforto coming up thought he was the real deal. Some compared him to Don Mattingly.
Hope I’m wrong. I think a lot of people in the organization think he’s still going to blossom. I just didn’t really see any signs of greatness, but the funny thing is, he was knocked for his defense, and I think he’s been a pleasant surprise in that regard.
Bitching like Landry is doing is bad for a team, because once things start going bad he’s going to start it again with the new teammates.
Yeah, wait till they start losing, or keep losing, all of a sudden he’ll wish he’s back in MIA with the QB he doesn’t get along with
“””Surprise off-season standouts””” ESPN
“””””Wide receiver Albert Wilson
The Dolphins signed Wilson to a three-year, $24 million contract this offseason and believe he can be effective in a variety of alignments in the offense. According to The Miami Herald, Dolphins receivers coach Ben Johnson said during minicamp of Wilson: “It’s been impressive to me to see him come in, pick up this system and learn these fundamentals that he wasn’t really doing the same thing in Kansas City. He’s really done a nice job the past two weeks.” — Mike Rodak”””
GO PSL PRODUCT,
GOFINS!!!
Personal Seat License?
LOL!!!
Port Saint Lucie, FL…
He’s a HS football rival & good friend to my neighbors sons!!
Read that they’re working him at every WR position.
All of our WR’s can play all the WR positions. I think Amendola might be the most limited since he doesn’t really have break away speed but you dont necessarily have to to get the separation needed to be on the outside.
Based on the report he didn’t in KC but he’s learning it in Miami.
Amendola says he’s much faster than before entering the league/combine time!!!
NFL
“””We have the technology, we can make him bigger, faster, stronger, a 6 million dollar man”””
Or something like that 😏
Kinda looks like Danny too 😜
LOL KV! The PSL’s were a big deal a few years ago here when they opened the new Met Life stadium for the Giants and the gangrenous team in our division. 🙂
I should know Port St. Lucie, that’s the Mets A-ball team
Yep, right around the corner, I go when my O’s come to town!!!
Nice lil stadium !!! Tebow still a met???
He is as a matter of fact, and by the looks of the MLB team right now, I wouldn’t be shocked if he’s a September call-up, or maybe even earlier.
He’ll fit right in being that he’s hitting .238 in AA. LOL
isn’t it called Giant’s stadium?
It used to be, now it’s MetLife.
The old stadium was Giants Stadium, but this one is Met Life. They share now.
LOL Tim, no doubt!
Mike the PSLs for the Raiders is $4k on average. A new guy at work is a Raiders fan and paid for it.
I think that’s what is cost for my family to keep their Giants season tickets. It was awhile ago so I don’t remember the exact amount but I know it was a few thousand dollars per ticket.
Some people who had like 8 tickets handed down for decades at field level had to pay 20K per ticket which is absurd.
M13, I forgot to reply to your post about tornados. We never got anything like that, in fact the weather has been crazy beautiful.
I wish reporters, especially the local beat reporters would get it straight. Tannehill DID NOT have two major knee injuries in the span of 8 months. He had a partial tear, did not get it repaired surgically, but instead tried stem cell treatment and targeted exorcise to try and strengthen the muscles around the ligament and then completely tore the same ligament in the preseason last year. It is nothing like tearing it and then tearing a surgically repaired one or tearing a different one. For the discussion of healing and coming back from the injury it is exactly as if he had only torn it once.
It bugs me too Rock. We were talking about it last night with Phelon and D
I don’t get either.
The beat writers, not just our team, seem to be some of the stupidest people on the planet.
So much more has been made about him coming back from the injury, than other QBs, which are in much worse shape. They just like to cherry pick.
FerReall !!!
On all the above /THill SINGLE INJURY OVER ENTIRE CAREER!!!
Knock on forehead
PSL’s are fucking stupid! I don’t understand how any team can get their fans to pay $400.00 per game for the right to buy a ticket to the game! (going off Steve’s $4,000 above) that includes two preseason games! it’s $500 per game if you just count the season tickets!
The PSLs are a one time thing.
ohhhh, I thought you had to buy the PSL every year. Still that’s a WAD of cash to lay down.
No doubt! Did you see what I posted above that some people with great seats had to pay to keep their tickets?
Like Directv or any of them F’ers
New customers pay 200 some less per month
Than loyal 20 year customers/me!!!
I tell’Em I should just fire you and rehire..
Doesn’t work that way Sir, thank you for your loyalty..
F’ers should be thankful that I hate change,

No doubt!! Luck has been out as long as Tanny and it was his throwing shoulder not his knee. He still not throwing 100% and I don’t hear the fucking national trash talking heads saying they are going to come in last in the AFC.
LOL @ the “six million dollar man”
Now-a-days it would have to be the 160 million dollar man. $6mill wont get you the eye ball.
“””Eye ball””” LMAO 😂
Yeah Tim I saw that. At $20k per x 8 = $160K those seats would still be empty! Fuck that!
Some of those people had those tickets passed down from great grandfathers. Life long fans and if you can afford it, off they go most likely to corporations so they can give them to clients.
“can’t afford it”
It’s all BS, No FN way am I playing a PSL My girlfriend asked if I wanted to get season seats for the Raiders. I almost said yes, until I heard about the PSL. We’re on the waiting list for VGK season seats.
10 players..
“””What we learned”””
ALL GOOD!!!
“””””
1. Ryan Tannehill: I’m not sure things could have gone any better. Tannehill clearly is back to 100 percent with no limitations. He arm strength, his agility, the way he goes about his job, have all been very impressive. He has embraced this offseason with enthusiasm and leadership and there is absolutely no reason to believe it won’t continue in training camp. His 70-yard beauty to Danny Amendola may have been the best play of OTAs. Still, donning pads and taking a hit is another obstacle he must clear. Final thought: Sure looks good to go.””””
IMPRESSIVE thus far !!!

GOFINS!!!
The tone from the reporters seems to be changing lately, need to go bet over 5.5 wins before it goes up.
Of all the position groups my biggest concern is still for the line backers. What we KNOW from last year is Kiko struggled at OLB after doing passably well as MLB the season before. After that we don’t “know” anything.
They have hope for McMillan, but we as fans never got to even see him play, now he is coming back from an ACL and we still have never seen him play. Anthony? Who knows? The rest? Untested, undersized, who TF knows? I HOPE it works out, but I do not feel any better now than I did last year at this time.
“My girlfriend asked if I wanted to get season seats for the Raiders” and I responded WTF is wrong with you? Do I look like a looser Raiders fan? I AM A PROUD DOLPHINS FAN! Now get your shit and get out of my house!
LOL Just BB. I dated a Pat’s fan, it was horrible, the sex was great, but the relationship, especially during the season was horrible. LOL
She’s a 49er fan and hates the Raiders, she was just gauging my interest.
The thing about Steve Austin I never got was this:
He had two robot legs, on robot eye and one robot arm right?
How did he pick up such heavy stuff with that robot arm without crushing his fucking spine?
The same way Santa Claus can deliver presents to every fucking person in the world in one night. LOL
magic? I didn’t know the $6M man was magic.

Like Directv or any of them F’ers
New customers pay 200 some less per month….
XM Radio is the same. $280 to renew. I let it expire every year. After 1 week I have received DAILY mailed deals, after 2 weeks they are taking $80 off, after a month is it $120.00 less for the year.
Car insurance the same. Raise my rates every year. I switch companies and then the old company keeps trying to lure me back with rates cheaper than the year previous before I quit them.
Yes it sucks that loyalty doesnt get you the best price.
HMMM
Yea but I’d go blind or grow hair on my palms
without TV for a few days, let-alone a month or two…
They are all going to be cheap soon. Streaming TV is going to start putting big dent in their wallets
Again, my thing with the 2 injuries isnt that it means anything more than 1. Even if he had had 2 surgeries, the bounce back from the second one is no less than the first. Its not degenerative, other than the age of the person healing from it. Age is the degerative part, the procedure is the same for the second one with the same success rate.
So again, the argument over 2 or 1 is not part of the concern, the part of the concern for me is 12/11/2016 to June 2018 away from football. Im looking at it from a standpoint of never hit his stride and then sidelined for a year and a half. Also i dont really care what the media is saying about Luck or Tanny, i care how Tanny performs for us and i could care less how Luck plays for the Colts.
Im on board with seeing whats going on with him. Im ok with wait and see. Im ok with being hopeful, etc, but some are insinuating you cant be skeptical of him and his recover simply because of wanting to live in that land of hopefulness. I completely disagree with that. I think being hopeful is better than to thing he is going to suck it up and us ride out another miserable season, but skeptical is the best i feel we can be right now. I like koolaide and all but some of you are sweetening it so much you could stand a spoon, on edge, in a glass of it.
D, when the 2nd injury happened that was in August 2017 during TC. He hasn’t been away from football for even a year.

——————————————
Because his legs were also bionic and emitted magnetic forces against the arm to help support the weight the arm held up. Duh.
“”””Duh”””” Too Funny !!!!
However Steve Austin did it he, or at least Lee Majors, was a true superhero. Dating myself but remember reading a poll in Tiger Beat. Answer to which woman would you want to be was Farrah. Answer to which man you would want to be was the six million dollar guy who was doing her.
LOL!!! 😛 I had that poster of Farrah, (bathroom wall), GIGGITTYY..
Also Santa is clearly a supernatural being, meaning he doesnt use magic, he is part of both the natural world but operates on it as if he is part of the fabric of it.
He steps through time and space to make those deliveries, makes the deliveries in what seems like some time passes between them but there are in essence simultaneous as he steps in and out of the time continuum at precisely the point in time he is supposed to. He is able to do this due another of his supernatural abiliies, ie to determine when any human being falls asleep and wakes up.
He also his the ability to read your soul to determine if you have been doing good or bad things, once again re-enforcing the idea he is a supernatural being and not just wielding magic.
13kv, to this day (some 30 years later) I still cannot drink grape Kool-Aid for eat grape flavored gum or candy. It tastes like cow shit every time. That’s what we used to mix in our Tea.
Okay so you know what cow shit tastes like, and which one did you mix in your tea? LOL
Well technically I know what Psilocyben mushrooms taste like (cow shit)
I can see it now….
Rock is sitting around going… rabbit….no no much heavier, horse…..no too refined for horse….hmmm just cant place it exactly…..no no no…oh now i got it…its cow shit….this tastes exactly like cow shit!

My night had just begun upon knocking on my door
(at sunrise 6 hours later from leaving my friends house 3 doors down)
Step Dad who was cool in this instance answered the door,
Told him what’s been goin on since midnight, and we laughed hysterically till noon about his ten fingers stretching to 3 feet long,
and in explaining to me what’s happening his fingers were whipping around and getting entangled with each other,
I think he had as good a time as me, (once I got home) from my 6 hour tour of running to and from bushes, hiding from my imaginations!!!

D, when the 2nd injury happened that was in August 2017 during TC. He hasn’t been away from football for even a year.
————–
Come on man, are you counting the helmet and shoulder pads practices he was in at the very beginning of TC when he got the second injury? Thats not football, that’s practice, practice man…..
So let me ask you, do you feel like right now, he is exactly where he was before, like the injury didnt happen, and the time off the field didnt happen. Can you, with a straight face tell me you think none of that matter and there is 0 reason for concern over it?
No and I never said any of that since he was cleared to go this spring. He’s just as up in the air as is much of this team for me. Haven’t seen this team as currently constructed ever play before. There are guys coming back from injuries, 2nd year jump guys we need to perform, rookies and some new veteran faces we’re relying on.
I get why much of the media doesn’t see a good team, but the 3-13 stuff is silly to me. The roster has talent and potential. They’re ignoring that. If you went down the line and said if this guy does that and that guy does this etc. you can see playoffs. But a lot has to happen. There is no history to go by because the 2016 team is not this team.
I feel like this team is new toy and I’m excited but not sure yet if I like it or not. LOL
LOVE the updated, brand “””new toy””” !!!
WAYYYY MORE than the several times previously owned, damaged, outdated one that was donated to us via a multitude of toys for totts welfare outlets!!!
GOFINS!!!
I thought you were saying couldn’t do football activities. Then why mention June as the end date though which isn’t even in pads? TC is pads and full contact, just not always tackling to the ground.
The biggest obstacle for him is getting back to playing in a game. The PS he’ll get a taste but he needs that full RS game under his belt.
I mentioned June because im not a time traveler and at least my current present is June 15th….what day is it where you are from? lol
But you don’t count OTAs and TC as real football so the date should be Sept. God willing. LOL
“I mentioned June because im not a time traveler and at least my current present is June 15th….what day is it where you are from? lol”

D, the difference between one or two surgeries can be significant How the knee is repaired also weighs heavily into the equation. Scar tissue being the main reason. Also, he hasn’t been away from football. He attended every meeting he was in on the game planning every week he stood next to the coach with headset every play
If you guys want to equate that to playing it then i guess i see your point, but then again, i absolutely know there is no way you can equate the two. Playing the game isnt watching the game from the sidelines or sitting in meetings, the timing doesnt come from watching a screen. The pocket preseence doesnt come from snaps at practice where they arent allowed to hit you. Its just not the same guys im sorry to mess up yall’s dreams.
If they do a good job there would be no scar tissue with the first, but again i dont care lol. Nothing about the injury or second injury debate does anything to make more more or less confidant.
You jackasses. You found Psilocyben mushrooms by going out early in the morning and picking them out of the cow shit on the farms then you would boil them to make a TV which would make you hallucinate The tea tasted awful so we would flavor it with Kool-Aid
I knew what you were talking about but it was funnier to pretend like i didnt, besides didnt yall wash them off a little first. thats just nasty lol.
Can you, with a straight face tell me you think none of that matter and there is 0 reason for concern over it?
I can say that I have no concern whatsoever about any rust. There is still all of training camp to knock the rust off And he has been building a rapport with his receivers since February
Its true the PS can and does do that, so by end of the PS maybe im drinking your hallucinogenic pooo flavored beverages. Right now im at best just clean fresh water.
Yeah we tried to wash them off but remember we were teenagers and didn’t exactly have our own houses where we can set up in the kitchen Most of ours was done over a Coleman stove out in the woods away from where we could get caught by the adults
I caught the tail end of the shroom thing, and probably there were almost gone anyways were it not for me growing up in a ruralish town in north florida that hadnt moved on to better things lol. Maybe i just come from a time where we had refined the process of drinking/eating shit dwelling fungi.
Rock – I think the Six Million Dollar man would have been hilarious if he only had one bionic leg
😂 he would have a pronounced limp fosho
Literally cracking me up , are all!!!
HILARIOUS!!!
Bullshit there’s no scar tissue that they do a good job there is always score tissue it is minimized and when they do a good job but when they do a second job the scarring is always worse unless they cut away the original scarring and then sometimes there’s not enough to cut away
There is scar tissue with the first tear too, probably more because it wasn’t cleaned out until the surgery was done after the second injury. There is scar issue with any injury involving tears, etc. If the procedure is done will though, the scar tissue should be very minimal.
Yes
Speech recognition mangled that
KV — had the same one on my wall too…..but didn’t everyone?
I did too. I had a robe hook strategically placed on the poster that held my towel I am pretty sure you can guess where it was strategically placed
Nice teeth
You are that age Mike E…. Farrah was the bomb. Funny how you age though. Cheryl Ladd would be my choice now and Jaclyn Smith is probably the best choice of all.
😭😖
Datt be her, Mmmm, Mmmm Good!!!
She’s in a better place, right ??
Yep!
I don’t think you can just go out and pick shrooms anymore. The fungus used to get into the cows from the feed and I think they eliminated it somehow.

—————–
Click the link below to see what happened to Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday night. Got hit pretty hard, and it was confirmed as a tornado…
https://twitter.com/search?q=wilkes%20barre%20tornado&src=typd
Wow!! Scary stuff.
The last time I ever tripped on shrooms we we picking them and eating them in the field and start trippin and decided to tip some of the cows (which were awake by this time) and I got shot in the back with Rock salt shot from a 20 gauge that was the last time I ever went on to another man’s property in the middle of the night
How long ago was that Rock? And how did you know what kinda gun he was using?
Less powerful so less harm. Rock salt is a warning shot not to kill. Funny Rock got shot by Rock salt. LOL
Get that it ain’t the kill shot…..was interested in the story.
I was replying to your what kind of gun comment. A 20 gauge is less powerful than the popular 12 gauge so again less harm done.
Never touched a firearm in my life Tim. Had no clue you could tell what hit you without seeing the weapon involved. But am obviously clueless as clueless can be on such. But like said….it was the story that interested me.
Last time I tripped on shrooms was in the late 90’s camping on a private mountain with live music and a cool scene. I played on stage as well. Anyway, I went to take piss in the woods off our camp site and the leaves of one particular shrubbery lol all looked like little alien heads (little green men) buzzing at me. I said I’m done! LOL
😎
We would chew up starbursts and flatten it out, stick the shrooms in and squish the starburst around it. Worked ok. Lol
Stanger – Yeah, I had a Farrah shrine next to the moisturizing lotion.
Bunch of reprobates.
yeah, that’s why I had moisturizing lotion, to reprobate
ROFLMAO @ MikeE!!!
Stanger, I’m not a gun guy but used to be when I was younger. Shot a bunch of different guns and liked the designs of them. People will use a 20 gauge with rock salt as a lesser harmful weapon and that’s probably why Rock figured as much.
That is probably the answer. Just sounded like a good story and like said have no clue about guns. Only one have seen in my life other than in the “check out my gun way” was one pointed at my head, but thankfully never got to see that one go off. 🙂
Just got a feeling of Deja Vu on this subject. LOL
Many years as it has been have no doubt have told that story…..punch line is “pull the trigger and see if you get your money.”
CFL season begins tomorrow Sat 6/16
Football fix??
Can watch Johnny F’Up Manziel Hamilton Tiger Cats
at 7pm on ESPN2 (209 Directv)
Watching Arena league now..

The last time I ever tripped on shrooms
______________________________________
No wonder you don’t understand the QB position and basic Offensive strategy!
Expand your mind, man! 😉
Never did shrooms, just mesc. I think that expanded my diaphragm and my mouth as well as my mind. Shit-tons of laughing will do that
Laughing was the goal every time. I wasn’t into seeing alien head leaves making noises at me and satan faces in the clouds. LOL
Yeah, me and my crew just LOVED to laugh. We all have some great memories of mesc trips. I once drove home from Studio 54 on mesc. I lost my friends inside, thought maybe if I went up to the balcony I’d be able to see them on the floor. Looked down, a gazillion lights going on and off, strobe lights, spotlights, and I just went into a tremendous laughing fit at the futility of trying to find them. I shouldn’t have driven, we’re all lucky nothing happened.
Same here, Mike E. I never did shrooms, acid, LSD, or ANYTHING harder than weed… and weed just isn’t for me, either.
Ohh Yea, face & gut hurt for days from laughing!!!

Wow!! Scary stuff.
————-
Yeah, man… it’s CRAZY! We’re up in the mountains over here (Appalachians), and tornadoes aren’t supposed to be able to form, due to that fact; it’s not as though we’re living in the flat-lands of the mid-west.
About 3 weeks ago, a near tornado hit about 1/4 of a mile from my house… funked a lot of things up (thankfully not for me), but it wasn’t a confirmed tornado. Then, THIS happens.
I just don’t get it, but over the last 8 years or so, we’ve been under more tornado warnings than the last (I dunno) 100 years or so? THAT’S NUTS!
And even IF one wants to blame ‘man-made global warming’, why isn’t this happening more often in the flat-lands… WHY THE MOUNTAIN REGIONS?!!
Walker used to think I was on crack when I told him that the humidity in my area RIVALS SoFlo humidity… I was NOT kidding. And when a cold front comes through as it did here on Wednesday, this type of $#!T now happens here… and far too often for my liking.
I’m glad you Jersey cats were spared from that storm, as it broke up before it got to y’all. Prof Lou is alright, too. We’re lucky it hit a shopping complex and not a residential area… WHEW!
Climate change is real just don’t think it’s “all” human created and specifically industry in a capitalist society. 😉
That said, too many humans pollute way too much and act like slobs all too often not caring about anything but themselves. We are fucking up our oceans. Plastic bags aren’t God’s will or organic. It’s human created poison that we’re aware of and still don’t care. That shit needs to stop!
Oy! I’m not trying to steer this conversation into climate change, man!
But I agree in general… humankind needs to do a far better job of keeping our Earth clean!
Bro, you said this.
“And even IF one wants to blame ‘man-made global warming’, why isn’t this happening more often in the flat-lands… WHY THE MOUNTAIN REGIONS?!!”
Don’t act like you didn’t touch on this, you can’t help yourself. LOL
I once did un-sweet ice tea.
I get it you’re sweet enough😁
Less Humans = Less waste!

You jackasses. You found Psilocyben mushrooms by going out early in the morning and picking them out of the cow shit on the farms then you would boil them to make a TV which would make you hallucinate The tea tasted awful so we would flavor it with Kool-Aid
————–
How do you make a TV by boiling cow shit mushrooms? Do you need electrical tape?
Tea, fucking speech to text got me again
Lol, and he didn’t even get a good jump on the snap.
William Hayes wasn’t paying for Miami in 2016. Can anyone be accurate anymore? Yikes! False info. is rampant, see it all the time. Stop posting before you know what you’re saying. Sure anyone can make a mistake, but think about it for a minute. 🙂
Can’t you be happy that SOMEONE on the Fins made a good play? 😉
Tim,
I was making a point that even IF true, ‘man-made climate change’ can’t explain why the mountains are getting hit with tornadoes with more frequency (proportionately) than the flat-lands… it doesn’t add up in scientific theory. Anyway… we’re digressing…
To YOUR point… YES! Me must be good tenants here of Mother Earth. Nothing disgusts me like seeing all kinds of litter on the side of the road, litter floating in a creek, oceans being polluted, or a Big Biz pumping their byproducts back into the ecosystem. I am SO with ya.
We just must NOT take our eye off of CYCLICAL climate patterns. Just as Mars made it’s closest approach to us a couple of years ago (and it won’t be that close to us again for another 100+ or so years), we get closer to the sun than normal at times. Some events (such as near-annual ‘100 year events’) can be explained by as much.
And just remember… WE (humans) didn’t invent or telegraph the orbit of Haley’s Comet… nor can we abort it’s 76-year come around. The Earth will recycle us, just as it had the dinosaurs… when it was an average of 136 degrees Fahrenheit in the Cretaceous Era, prior to an E.L.E.
We should be dumping our trash in the new volcanoes to cool the down!
LOL
Bro, I get all that. You said what you said then told me “Oy! I’m not trying to steer this conversation into climate change, man!”
Yeah you did! No worries but yes you did. I’m cool with it. I have no issues with speaking current events. You know that. To me current events are not political, they are happenings. Call it what you will, that’s not about left/right bickering. Just saying!
Stanger, it was 29 years ago! Damn. SMH…anyway me and my buddy were up late getting drunk / high/ into trouble / what you got? and it was really foggy so we decided to see if we could find any schrooms. So we rode out on his motorcycle (I am embarrassed to admit I rode bitch) out west on Pembroke road, out past Douglas road and we parked his bike up against the split rail fence and went out in the field to search. We were already stoned / drunk / etc so we were being asses laughing / making noise. We found a bunch of mushrooms and ate a couple while we were still searching. There was this wallow where the cows laid during the day and it was full of mud. We started peaking and decided to try and tip some cows because we had heard of it but never done it.
The fucking cows were awake, but we were stupid and fucked up so we tried to push them over anyway. (A cow will kick your ass man if they want to) Next thing you know there’s a flood light blinding us from like 15-20′ away and a voice yells out something like “you mother fuckers, I’m tired of you always fucking around on my land I’m gonna kill you now” (not really sure. LOL)
my buddy and I go “Fuck” and drop everything and take off running towards his bike. He ran just to the right of the wallow. I ran right into it.
Next thing I know I was lifted off my feet and landed in the mud and shit on my face and I was on FIRE. I bounced / levitated back up and in one stride cleared the wallow and like to more strides was at and over the fence. My buddy had his bike going and I jumped on the back and we took off.
I still thought i was on fire, in my mind I literally thought I was on fire from my right arm, shoulder, right side and right ass cheek and kept screaming at my buddy that I was burning. Remember I was totally peaking when I go shot.
I had to talk him into taking me back to his house, but he wouldn’t let me come inside because I was a mess, covered in mud, shit and blood. I was cold, in shock, tripping and bleeding from 20-25 holes that wept and pussed for a week. I wound up huddling on the side of his house between the air conditioning condenser and the wall because it was blowing hot air. My buddy totally got accosted by his parents and busted and had a bad trip in his room…..and forgot about me.
I lost couple of gas cans that way!
( other than the huddling outside part!)
😂😎 Rock, like I was there mannnn, GOOD TIMES !!!
Had no clue you could tell what hit you without seeing the weapon involved.
I assumed. I always thought if it was a 12 gauge that it would have killed me. Maybe not, but that’s what me and my friends decided.
I never went to the hospital or doctor or anything. The next day after probably the worst night of my life that I can remember I got into his pool and soaked for a few minutes, washed as much of the crap out of my clothes and went back to my parents house and slept it off for a couple of days and covered it up with my parents. (they probably knew something was up.

I would never get off on shrooms until after i puked. Once I puked I would start trippin. Colors sounds all sharper, seldom any hallucinations like on LCD. The giggles of death. I ……am…….going……to…….die…….laughing……Can’t …….stop…..
I had a lot more fun on CID than shrooms, hallucinations were minor , like walls kinda melting and going all psychedelic just a lot of laffs
Uh-hem! That’s all from a teen perspective. LOL
Never really liked her look. Very plastic in my eyes …
So many things I could say. 😉
Yes i an sure there are 🤡

Slightly cuter than Harold Ramis

how are the dis-functional functioning today?
I’m good thanks for asking.
Everyone is lit
Rock salt probably hurt more than anything other pain I have experienced. (Even after coming down and it not being the center of my being)
You got shot like Beatrix did in Kill Bill 2
I must have reached my limit for today and stuff is going to spam now. oh well.
What went to spam? I can’t check on my work PC, they changed some settings, so I can’t go into the WP Admin now
Gase doing maintenance control.
Said to Oprah by guess who?
“I think about it more now than I used to. I think I’m seeing there’s definitely an end coming sooner, rather than later. As long as I’m still loving it. As long as I’m loving the training and the preparation and willing to make the commitment. But there’s other things happening in my life, too. I do have kids that I love, and I don’t want to be a dad that’s not there, driving my kids to their games . . . my kids have brought a great perspective in my life. Kids just want the attention. You better be there. And be available to them.”
Tom Brady?
You got it….sounds like Giselle has been reading up about CTE.
KV – I remember Barbi Benton well. She really turned my crank 🙂
Yea Buddy, sooo adorably SEXXXYYYYY (19 in that photo & they’re real)!!!
Nice muff too, back in the day when such a thing existed!!!
I miss muffs, don’t care for the lil-girl look!!!
Being a flower child, even under arm hair on sexy hippie girls turned me on, & still does!!!
Can you make that photo load directly on this page, minus the extra click
When I get home, I’ll see what I can do. At the office now, and they have neutered my internet availability here.
No Big, but a nice place to rest the scrolling finger of one’s non dominant hand… 😁

It’s funny the last post before mine was #714 which fits in the with the drug theme. Some ludes used to have 714 on them. LOL
Da’Good’Ones 😎
They were big yellow tabs right?
I remember white with an occasional yellow, Yea big horse pills, LOL!!
Ha! Just remembered the only time I took one of those 714s was when we were playing the Browns in the playoffs in 1986. A friend and I went to a friends house on the other side of town to watch it. This was the game we were down 14-3 at the half and won 24-21. Kosar’s rookie year with Mack and Byner. We had just gotten a snow storm so my friend and I thought it would be a good idea to split one. So after the game what would normally be a 30 minute walk turned into an hour and a half as we plodded through the snow. LOL
I got home and collapsed on the couch. My Mom says you look tired and I said yeah I am. She said would you like some hot chocolate and I was like yes, that would be great. With the little marshmallows please. Nighty night. LOL
Too Funny 😌
Tim – Totally remember 714 being huge. Rorer and Lemmon quaaludes had 714 on them. I remember there was a movie, can’t recall which one, with some chick wearing a shirt with a RORER 714 on it. lol
BTW, I only took a lude once, didn’t really enjoy it. I don’t like downers
Same here, didn’t like speed either. Too down or too buzzing, coke too, didn’t last long with me. I like happy highs, laughing and being able to function. LOL
Partied HAARRRDDD (too hard at times)

That was the one. Never did it again.
LOL! Love that episode! Nighty night . . . . rabbit
I’m not sure that I can associate with you…..drug using hippies!
We like Barbi Benton too
LOL!!!

I bet there are those special folks somewhere out there who are gathering ammo for not so sneaky future attacks of shock & awe..

I watched some of that movie a couple of weeks ago. Was trying to remember why I liked it when I was younger. It’s a really bad movie by any standards.
It’s kind of a cult classic about that scene and Brooklyn in the 70’s. I always liked it, but I’ve seen it enough. LOL
A lil football news (sorta)..
He was afterall
A Miami Dolphin the month before “””drastic life change”””

Go Isiah Go!!!
Huhh
Manziel the backup for Tiger-Cats on ESPN2
He’s always been a hype cocky college QB. If I’m GM I wouldn’t touch him. He’s built like Amendola – a smallish WR. He’ll never survive playing a lot of NFL games.
Me neither, too much of a party’errrr
said the kettle to the pot..
Nice lil fix though is the game!!!
But a wide field works for him.
I watched a few drives of the Argos last night, the CFL and their 3 downs make for boring football.
It’s pretty obvious Gase is more confident in David Fales over Matt Moore. He is Gase’s Case Keenum. Same stature and type of player. We’ll see. 🙂
He’s being hyped pretty good right now, we’ll find out soon enough.
Mann so much more field, the extra 12 yards in width seems like 25,
And a 40 yard semi-bomb can be of the RZ variety..
The Canadian field of play is 110 by 65 yards (101 by 59.4 m), rather than 100 by 53 1⁄3 yards (91.4 by 48.8 m) as in American football. The end zones in Canadian football are 10 yards deeper than American football end zones as the CFL uses 20-yard (18.3 m) end zones.
Think I’ll watch till Fins return…
CFL got a team of Aqua/Orange??
The Hamilton vs Calgary was a much better game.
Toba
Yes, the house always wins.
I’m in Bookman’s neck of the woods
