The Miami Dolphins secondary was the strongest unit on the 2020 roster, but it wasn’t necessarily because of the play of our safeties. I believe Eric Rowe had a strong season, but the strength of the secondary was based on the excellent play of the two corners, Xavien Howard and Byron Jones. Bobby McCain was good, not great, and the younger players showed some promise here and there but failed to make a clear case to be a starter going forward. Clayton Fejedelem who was a free agent pickup and a good one because Fejedelem is a special teams ace.
Young Brandon Jones proved to be a reliable tackler and that’s good, but didn’t show anything special as far as instincts in pass coverage. Jones was seconds in tackles in the secondary behind Eric Rowe with 62 tackles, but his 1 pass defensed and zero interceptions seem to imply he’s better in run support and bringing down receivers than he is in pass coverage. Jones still had a nice rookie season after being drafted in the 3rd RD (#70). Kavon Frazier who came over from Dallas in free agency played in 15 games but he was almost solely on special teams. Good Ole Bobby McCain had somewhat of a bounce back season, but I don’t feel like he did anything that made him indispensable for this coming season. His cap hit versus salary make him a possible cap casualty as they can save about $5.6M if they cut him. This can open up a potential spot for either Brandon Jones or potentially a draft pick or a free agent signing.
In the 2021 draft, S Trevon Moehrig from TCU may be the best prospect for us. Moehrig 6’2 202 has the size and length that we don’t have with Bobby Mac. A former WR and special teams guy Moehrig worked hard to become a very strong defensive player.He has good ball skills with 4 INT’s in his Sophomore year and adding another 2 in a shortened season last year. He possesses good instincts and good long range speed along with a quick burst, ideal for coverage in the NFL where it could be anything from a RB, WR or TE. Jevon Holland is another good safety prospect but he may be similar to Bobby Mac in that he also plays the slot well and may end up a better player at slot CB than safety. This is not a great safety class and it appears as if Moehrig is the cream of the crop.
In free agency, Justin Simmons heads the class. He’s almost certainly out of range as he will garner somewhere around $15M per, so he will not be a Miami Dolphin. Former NY Jet Marcus Maye is also a top FA, but again, he will be out of our range. Former Steeler Sean Davis is a free agent and I liked him in that draft, very explosive and agile, ran a 4.46 40, 3.97 short shuttle which is very fast and a 6.64 3 cone which is elite agility. In the NFL though, Davis has been meh, starting at SS in his first 3 seasons and coming up with 5 INT’s those 3 years. The drafting of Terrell Edmunds (Bills Tremaine Edmunds brother) and then the trade for MFFF no doubt buried him on the depth chart. He may be worth a risk to resurrect his career. I don’t feel like safety is a position where we have to do anything, so it’s possible we just leave well enough alone and let a guy like Brandon Jones develop.
GO DOLPHINS!!!

Apparently the Bears are all in on Watson, but Houston won’t talk to them. That puts quite a monkey wrench in all the BS the U75s have been spreading
Steve,
You know Houston is only willing to talk to Miami and Watson will be here any day now.
Thats what I’m afraid of
BBM – I would value it at $15 and give the schmuck a five dollar check so he has to go to the bank to get his five bucks.
This also is not legal advice. More how to fuck with someone advice.
Ultimately, it has no market value because it is so personalized.
Get what you mean, but it is worth a good bit. Attached to both Wayne and Sands of Iowa Jima. Least it would be on Pawn Stars. Who BBM needs is Tall Rob. 🙂
Lol…There is signed JW photos on eBay for $10.
There are…I am a f’n grammar nazi.
But do the ones on ebay actually have his signature? Back to Pawn Stars math…. but letter has to be worth some hundreds of dollars.
Stanger – They claim to have his signature. Some even come with a certificate of authenticity.
Yeah, I know, I have never been into memorabilia except for some of my Dolphins stuff but nothing of value. Some things are just worth something to the right person.
LOL at schmuck, I wouldn’t have thought of you to put it so kindly.
There are some letters on ebay for up to 3900.
BBM,
OR, you can just send the letter to me, and I’ll take care of everything for you. And no….I won’t need you to pay me for this service. No charge seeing as how you’re an official Dolphin fan. 👍😀
lol
Family estate stuff can turn bitter, and ain’t it surprising that always the black sheep who make it that way.
My Dad was a smart dude. Was his executor. I got a changed copy of his will that gave all the personal stuff to me instead of split evenly with all 3 siblings like before. When asked why he said “you don’t realize how much hassle I just saved you and know you will do what’s right anyhow.”
Smart man, give everything to the responsible one and make it clear to them before hand how you want it handled.
Of course, I’m really just patting my own back, lol, because that’s exactly what the wife and I are doing. Our youngest is the most empathetic and fair-minded of our brood. We’ve already talked to her about our wishes if something unforeseen should happen, and we’re entirely confident she’ll do it the right way.
My bro and sis have real problems with their younger brother “in control.” Your youngest may experience some of that down the road. It’s pretty funny though when that comes out and the youngest child is in his 50’s. Guess family dynamics never change.
He was actually talking about doing. Give everything to my wife and let her take care of his wishes but he went down hill to fast.
Also, thanks for the advice and think I may go that route.
Just put the price on it and add into the estate. Chances are he never notices.
I thought about going to Pawn Stars and seeing if I could pull one over on Chumley. lol
https://www.foxnews.com/us/florida-man-accused-speeding-100-mph-ritz-carlton
A vanity plate for ease of identification, highspeed donuts around a crash site filled with cops, one sock, sexual noises on arrest. LMAO, now that sounds like some great cocaine.
————————-
The document added that Gaukhman, who was only wearing “an undershirt, boxer-briefs and one sock”, said he had left his home to go to a Ritz-Carlton hotel.
Police reportedly said they were at the scene of a “serious crash” that had knocked down a power line when they noticed a car with the vanity plate “THEBMW” racing around “a barricade of cones and marked patrol vehicle with lights activated.”
“The vehicle accelerated to an estimated 95-100 miles per hour in a posted 45 mile per hour zone,” the affidavit said, according to the Venice Gondolier Sun.
Officers who then pulled over Gaukhman found a baggie of cocaine inside his car in plain view, the document alleged.
“The defendant would continually grunt and make sexually suggestive noises at me while I was speaking with him,” the police affidavit reportedly added.
Did they check to see if there was a cow in the trunk?
What happened to the other sock
The cow was wearing it.
LMAO @ Phelon
Washington Football Team officially releases QB Alex Smith
Regarding the letter, if you don’t have something to show it’s authentic, it’s just sentimental value IMO. You have no way of knowing if you have a real signature, could have been signed by some staff person whose job it was to take care of things like that or an autopen signature. Without a certificate verifying they signed, it really could be just a nice story. FWIW, I did work in a state unclaimed property office way back when, we had to inventory and auction contents of safe deposit boxes that had gone dormant and unclaimed. And just sayin, there’s some really messed up people in this world. 😂
‘Unclaimed property” = no one wants to get near it
Lol…”there’s some really messed up people in this world. ” yep!
So the safe deposit boxes and contents were just sitting there . We talking old folks whose spouse’s had already died? Obviously whoever put the stuff in thought it valuable.
Thought it was valuable is key. Doesn’t mean it is valuable. Boxes go dormant at a bank when the fee isn’t paid. Person could be dead and no one knew they had the box. Who knows? Lots of crazy stuff, some valuable, some weird, some very sad.
Thanks Herd! I think that is why that one lady wanted $500 cause she had to authenticate it. You can tell it is an authentic signature and not autopen. Judging by all the John Wayne signatures I have viewed the last couple of weeks, it looks authentic and not something a staffer would have done. Unless they had professional forgers back then. lol
Since when do drug/meth addicts have a say? Let him hire a lawyer. Lmao.
My dad was born in the same little town in Iowa where John Wayne was born. Winterset. No connection….just useless trivia.
Yeah, that is where the museum is. The director of that museum was really nice and we talked about 20 min.
LOL @ Phelon
That one just hit me as really funny!
Me too, actually laughed out loud
You guys are easily amused.
Indeed! Better that way
Happened up David’s way…… is that his cow buddy?
I’m thinking they’re more than just buddies by now . . . lol
Could not love my dogs (now sadly just dog) more. If David goes bovine…. “not that there’s anything wrong with that”
So I must have missed this. Am I supposed to be outraged about Dr. Seuss books being racist or because they are being censored!?!?!?!? I’m unclear hear and need assistance……
A bunch of his books have been pulled by his publisher . Have no idea what the content was as far as why. Did notice none of the bestsellers though.
They are now
https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/04/us/dr-seuss-amazon-bestsellers-trnd/index.html
It’s almost like free publicity by throwing yourself onto a controversy is profitable
Meh…they’re just books. May as well burn them.
Rocko – I don’t think anyone is outraged, or at least I’m not, but I’ll be the first to admit I don’t get what this nonsense is all about. This cancel culture shit is out of control, and I personally think it’s silly.
It is out of control. Some whack job somewhere is triggered because the some characters in a children’s book are illustrated in different colors and are perceived to be treated different than characters that are illustrated as vaguely white. Oh the inhumanity!
Last week you guys were lamenting on how out of control it was bc of mr potato head
But hasbero ctually didn’t do what you guys what you guys were angry about…lol
Maybe some conservative at Hasbro kicked the crap out of the dumbass liberal that decided that was a good idea and they changed their mind? Possible??? lol
They are both fighting each other all the way to the bank
This is marketing in the social media era
Brand recognition needs people to say the name of the product
Sometimes what you say about the product may not even matter
Has anyone here ever watched the cartoon Fat Albert? If those kids don’t look like every possible black stereotype, I don’t know what does. No one will complain about Fat Albert though because Bill Cosby who created it is black.
Nobody is actually triggered about these things except people who say cancel culture is out of control
It’s free publicity for this company to get Internet up in arms about things like this.
Ok, so you think Pearl Milling Company is going to sell more pancakes and pancake syrup than Aunt Jemima did? Do you really believe all of this is just so companies get publicity? Are there any stats to back this up that they are doing better after they cancel Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, Dr. Seuss, whatever?
Mile there is literally a link that backs it up if you scroll up. Dr Seuss books are flying off the shelves
Every time you guys tweet or post how out of control cancel culture is bc of what product A is doing, you give product A free publicity
Piggy, I really don’t care who is behind it or who profits from it. Some of just think it is wrong, and stupid. This shot is getting stupid, and don’t push me on this subject: I am after all a library cop!
That’s the point
They are relying on you to feel something about it
Yeah? What is the point? It means I care. I am tired of the offended snowflakes canceling shit. If it is ok with you, then fine, but some of us think it is OK to have “feelings” about it
I’d like to cancel the culture where everyone thinks their opinion matters because they’re special and the World owes them.
What exactly do you mean by “special” because I have been called that before……
Lol! I have too, bookman.
bookman,
There’s special and then there’s special. I’ve no doubt you’re one of them. 🙂
Amen to that 😃

M13, this is for you. Good interview with your guy Alim McNeil.
https://thedraftnetwork.com/articles/alim-mcneill-2021-nfl-draft-prospect-interview
——————
Thanks, BBM. I really like Alim, hoping he can become a dominant interior pass-rusher like a young Dontari Poe. When one realizes he was playing around 340+ pounds last year, his tape is even more striking: he’s so quick off the snap, almost nimble… and he commands double and sometimes triple-teams to stop.
He just may be the best kept secret (so far) of the 2021 NFL Draft. Now watch him run a sub-4.80 40-time and then somebody takes him in the 1st Round. We’ll see!
Thanks for sharing, Brother!
So I’m going to tell you about the Oil and Gas Industry,
After being layed off since last October, I took a job for a 20$ an hour cut in pay!
So I wouldn’t be on the extended fed money.
Anyone who thinks that this shit is good for the country is dumber than a hammer!
Gas is up! Electricity is up! Oils is up!
So I would suggest you shut the fuck up if you don’t know what your talking about!
Who doesn’t know what they are talking about?
Do you just pop in on the current and not read the other comments?
I’m not sure if I read the comments you are referring to or not bc I don’t know which ones you are referring to.
Anyway doesn’t matter, I’m sorry you lost your job. That sucks and I know a lot of people going through a tough time right now. It will get better
Sorry to hear that man. Having been laid off a couple times myself, I know what you’re feeling.
It’s usually not a big deal!
But there is no new work starting!
It’s Friday music night, how many of you are fortunate enough to be listening to Olivia, Barry Manilow, Neal Diamond, and Tanya Tucker on a CD shuffle in your basement? Oh, there may be alcohol involved also. I love Fridays!!
Tanya replays in my head!
I was more into Steve Miller Band, ZZ Top, Jethro Tull genre
I have those also in my rock group, just was in a more mellow mood tonight
Piggy this is where cancel culture ends up
Don’t you think it’s a little suspicious that mr potato head announced they were pulling the “mr” and then the same day they announced they weren’t doing that? But their statement about not doing it went under the radar.
Or that dr suess enterprises announced they are not publishing 6 poor selling books, only to have those six books end up being best sellers one week later
Why are these companies making PR statements that they are going to stop doing the things they think offends some one bc it’s offensive? If you suddenly realized you were doing something that offended some one and you wanted to stop that behavior – would you announce it and make a press statement or would you just stop doing it?
Do you remember the nazis holding press conferences about burning books?
I’m sorry but these things raise my eyebrow
Week after week we are seeing it. People are making a lot of money off getting people angry at other people.
Read this
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/05/dr-seuss-books-shoot-to-the-top-of-amazons-bestseller-list.html
Doesn’t it make you wonder why dr Seuss enterprises, who’s sole existence is to sell books, are so fortunate to be doing so well after their announcement
You could have a point, maybe some are taking advantage of the situation, I haven’t paid attention enough to know, but that doesn’t mean we should dismiss cancel culture, and allow history to be destroyed
Dismiss? I don’t know…people are too sensitive for my taste too
But I think the mr potato head thing jumps out as particularly egregious
I don’t remember anyone ever complaining about mr potato head anywhere – their decision came out of the blue.
Same day they backed out of their announcement?
And this is where socialism ends up
Friday night music…
Piggy, I didn’t post that for any pity!
I posted it to show that that policy’s of the new administration are destroying my industry!
And some people are happy about it!!!!!!!!
Wyoming,
Hang in there. Sucks taking the pay cut, props to you for your principles

Wyoming,
More time to drink and listen to Bocephus! I was furloughed last year. I actually ended up enjoying the extra time away from my job. The lack of income sucked, but the extra time rocked.
Not! Went to 60 hours a week!
It’s my wife’s bad habits!
Living indoors and eating regular!
Dr. Seuss Foundation announced they would no longer publish a handful of his books after a year of deliberation. People go crazy trying to buy them before they are no longer available. Dr. Seuss Foundation Makes some money. Until all the previously printed books are gone. That’s not good business. You are probably too young to remember Disney’s Song of the South. Full of moral messages but written and produced in 1946 when it was a different culture. Now deemed racist. As Bill Maher recently said, the woke left expects political correctness from primordial ooze.
This was for Pigs.
Yeah people are rushing to buy the cat and the hat bc they don’t think they will he it later
It’s 6 books of about 50 books that they decided not to publish
The cat in the hat is not one of those books, but the cat in the hat is now the best selling book on Amazon
They are creating a surge in their profit though this controversy.
That is good business.
The cat and the hat is their best selling book. They are going to increase their best sellers profits now and then continue to sell their best selling book later too
I still don’t get the point. This is not about money to regular people, it is about people being woke all of a sudden because it is the “in” thing and then getting rid of books. What’s next, the Bible?
Ima go watch Coming to America 2 now.
Remember the constant whispers before the Tunsil trade that he was in fact going to be traded? Everyone blew it off as nonsense at the time, well this Deshaun thing is shaping up the same way. The whispers are constant and that’s all I have to say about that.

Whatever we do…
Look, I like granny porn, but I know it’s not everybody’s cup of tea. Last time I checked, nobody made anybody read Dr. Seuss books. If you don’t like them….don’t read them.

Piggy,
I’m sure they will make some money and I’m sure that’s part of the marketing but it’s poor marketing. They are building a negative image of their company. If Seuss himself had done this, no one would have minded as much but these leeches are living off his work and dreams. I don’t care who it is, it’s distasteful and disrespectful to his memory. I don’t care if they said he wanted it. Obviously not true since he’s been dead for decades before this. Leave this man’s work alone, scum. Make your own mark.
Cancel culture is real and it was the primary reason this occurred. The company could have just stated that they were reducing some of their books because of low sales, get ’em while you can! That would have worked, it always does. Books are sacred. They are knowledge. They should never be cancelled. It’s detrimental to society and a sign of social regression. People have to think a certain way or they are bad. It’s exactly what the Catholic Church did for centuries to maintain a monopoly on Jesus. Our version or no version folks! It was bad then, it’s bad today.

Definition of racism changed in 2020. Why? To fit a narrative and to prevent future arguments against their version of the truth. Cancel culture is a cancer to our society. It is meant to reduce knowledge. It’s not a marketing gimmick, it’s the refuge of people who cannot argue their own opinions.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^ I think one of these should suffice, besides, there’s a shortage now because Bookman used so many of them!
Guys, there is a fine line between recognizing a problem in the world around you and pumping your fists angrily at clouds in the sky
It’s not too crazy to take a step back and look at what you are angry about
I watched many of you in real time get mad at mr potato head. Only to learn later mr potato head didn’t actually do what everyone thought they would be doing. I’m not finding fault, bc I didn’t realize it either until recently.
I actually believe in trans rights. I engage with other people that believe in them. I have represented trans people in discrimination suits. Mr Potato head has never come up…lol. No one was ever asking for it. I challenge you to do internet search and see if you can find something PRIOR to last week about mr potato head being insensitive. I tried and I can’t find a thing on it. There wasn’t a push to insist MAGNUM PI mustaches be removed from toys as far as I know. There wasn’t a mob demanding hasbro make the change it said it was going to make momentarily. They just randomly made an announcement the same week the equality act was being voted on only to pull back from it in the same day….wtf? That reeks of a publicity stunt. It’s a particularly egregious example
These slippery slope arguments about what’s next or will we end up burning books like nazis – can’t happen if the first step to what’s next didn’t actually happen
Like I said, mr potato head was especially egregious, whether it’s aunt Jemima or the Washington football team, I do recognize that there were sincere objections to those things, but the idea of theatrics is still applicable
Does aunt Jemima need to make a public statement about hanging their name and logo, or can they just change their logo to “AJ” one day. I’m very skeptical about corporate statements that the corporation isn’t going to offend people any more. – Would you walk into a bar and announce ‘hey everyone, I’m not going to call you ugly anymore” or would you just stop calling people ugly. The redskins only took about 4 decades to stop being the redskins. If that was a reaction to woke culture mobs, it was the slowest moving reaction to a mob ever recorded….lol
There is an entire industry dedicated to making money off these kind of culture wars. It generates money on both sides of the arguments. And it’s not just the businesses making these decisions. It’s the talking heads and politicians that tell you to get upset about it too.
And I personally am not going to get my blood pressure worked up about culture wars when there are real world problems to deal with.
I’m not going to become a Washington generals fan and get upset when the Harlem globetrotters beat them. If it’s a show, it’s not going to get under my skin.
I’m not saying there is no such thing as cancel culture. I don’t like to see people get fired about things they say, for instance. But some of this stuff is really more spectacle than a reflection of what’s going on around us.
excellent post, maybe we can cancel culture Part time wilsons contract, the fins pay him 24 million dollars for 3 years of nothingburgers
even cutting the slacker deadbeat part timer/no timer will cost the team over 2 million dead money.
and he was Jarvis Landrys replacement? SMH
that move was made years ago and still hurts the team , Landry helped his team go to the playoffs, Wilson did nothing but take the fins money for next to zero production, and we still have to pay for wilson ? wilson should pay the team and fans for defrauding them, lol
the furor over DR seuss racist books no longer being published is laughable.
the books were obsolete and offensive to many, the racists dont like it of course, because
racists feel they should have the right to discriminate, and deny others rights, and have genocidal thoughts expressed in books and cartoons, statues, songs, etc, and the targets should just deal with it with no complaining, lol and smh\\
remember when bugs bunny was murdering indians and singing one little two little three little injuns, while marking them on a board
thats dehumanizing, and not needed in media or books
As Yosemite Sam would say, “idjit.”
i must have stepped on your racist toes, sorry
The Lorax and the Grinch are still available, and those are Seuss best work IMO
the Lorax was my favorite as a small child, and still is, lol but the Grinch that stole Christmas is the best christmas movie ever, lol
Racists . . . . It’s all interpretation. It’s racist if Dr. Seuss meant it to be racist. If not, then fucking leave it be. Find something else to fucking worry about. That’s the problem in a nutshell. The people for these type of things need to find more important things to focus on. Removing Aunt Jemima doesn’t help the cause against racism. Sorry, it just doesn’t. Saying that these Seuss books are racist is an oversensitive reaction to nothing. BTW – Ignorant statements saying that racists support Dr. Seuss and his racist feelings are laughable. Did you know Dr. Seuss? Do we know he had anything against black people or anyone else for that matter? NO, they just look at some drawings and make their own determinations, which is where the real danger comes in.
i dont believe Seuss was a racist, but there are some of his books that have racist drawing and offend minorities, so the publisher pulled them, as to not offend minorities
most of these books havent been out in years anyway
Awwww, people are offended . . . . That’s the fucking problem. Where do you draw the line? You can’t cancel everything that people are offended by, there won’t be much left because certain people are offended by anything and everything
so you are offended? you believe thats not ok? lol
thats the entire point, its not ok because it offends people, and i didnt cancel it out, the publisher of the Seuss books decided that some of the works wont be published anymore
whats the big deal? did you enjoy reading these books? i read different ones as a child, red fish blue fish, hop on pop, etc
the ones that seuss no longer publish, can be watched on youtube for free, so its a TINY price to pay for us white oppressed victims, lol
in the early 1800’s . minstrel shows were extremely popular, but none exist now
times change, and advanced people change with it
Mike
‘Removing Aunt Jemima doesn’t help the cause against racism’ is exactly my point
I agree it doesn’t – but it helps them sell syrup
That’s why I don’t get worked about these things
I understand that viewpoint too Piggy, I do. There is an underlying reason besides profits, they’re trying to satisfy some people as well.
I think a lot of it is that during the Trump Presidency, the opposing side made it seem as if the other half of the country that voted for Trump were racists, and this feeds into that thought process.
not all trump supporters were racists, but all racists were trump supporters
i remember when some people said that blacks were not good or smart enough to be a head coach or a quarterback.
they were wrong, and they hurt alot of people with their hate.
now black QB and black HC have won some superbowls, the racists are always wrong

Once again, unbelievably ignorant . . . .
go ahead and name some racist groups that hated Trump, ill wait,
when you are done, ill give you a list that worshipped him
BLM
Nation of Islam
New Black Panthers
La Raza
CAIR
The Democratic Party!
lol those are white racists? doubtful , but yes, they is also racism in those groups
but name some white racists that hated trump?
I did, the Democratic Party.
Democratic Socialist of America
Dan Marino, first round pick, 420 Touchdown hall of fame career, frequently mentioned as one of the greatest ever to play QB.
Warren Moon, undrafted, won a bunch of grey cups before the NFL was even interested. he wasnt the right color for QB, they thought
he finished with a total of 433 TD, 5 grey cup championships, 9 pro bowls, an NFL offensive player of the year, and the only player to be in both the American and Canadian hall of fame,
is hardly mentioned, at all as one of the all time greats
there wont be anymore Warren Moons, the NFL was wrong to be racist and has learned from their mistakes.
Sorry that you feel guilty for your whiteness David.
i dont, just dont have a problem with seuss publishers, doesnt change My life, lol
its ok to be white, and NOT racist, nothing to apologize for that
David – Your simplistic understanding and interpretation of complex problems makes it impossible to discuss anything with you.
thats not true, the truth is , You dont want to try
but its ok, its what i expected, no worries
some of the groups that worshipped Trump include the KKK, Charlottesville murderers, Proud Boys, white supremacists, capitol insurrectionists, quanon, and many more
its obvious why the white supremacists and racists worship Trump, hes their leader of white privelege and will stop the browning of America with a wall
of course, none of that worked out, it was a dumb plan to begin with
Stop, just stop.
We all used to be friends here, when someone was going thru a bad stretch others would pick them up.
Seems many of us have fallen into the trap set by politicians to divide us
says the guy that always attacks me with BS? lol yea right, ok, lets move on together, i provided the list like i said i would, and moving on
Piggy – I don’t disagree with your assessment of corporations using cancel culture to profit. I think what some of us trying to say, or at least me, is that the acceptance of cancel culture, a fringe created by the twitterverse, creates the environment that they can use to profit. Hyatt on the other hand told the twits whining about them hosting CPAC that they were inclusive of all political views being discussed.
cancel culture is victimization babywhining, get over it, you can still watch dr seuss it happenned on Mulberry street on Youtube, lol

Steve, If You are genuine You would like to move on, and just get back to what we were before political division took the forefront, im game, I dont enjoy arguing with You, we have had some good convos in the past and will again.
we DONT have to dwell on the past, we should move forward, good idea and Im game for it
Thank god I survived the Mr. Potato Head and Dr. Seuss era. Lmao!
I tend to agree with a few points here.
One, it’s fascism (although no one used that word) in the sense of corporate capitalistic control-thought greed and political persuasion.
Two, this current societal environment is way to sensitive about children’s books and toys of the past. It’s the past.
Have we learned anything? I thought it was cool to make Mr. Potato Head look like any character i could imagine. I also thought Dr Seuss books crossed color barriers and exposed diversity in rhyme and fun. Now, i know why i’m so fucked up! LMAO!
I know, right!?! It’s amazing that we survived childhood!
I survived barely…and probably scarred for life!
^too for the grammar nazi…..selective nazi. Lol
a great idea for a discussion topic would be the Miami Dolphins, lol
THAT is what brings us all together, Mike is the great writer and platform manager, and its great the Fins have such a diverse base across many states IMO

i also didnt like how the last season ended with him dumping his sister in the ocean and driving into a hurricane, then ended up as a lumberjack in Oregon, SMH
THIS we can agree on – That ending rivaled GOT for horrible endings
the new Dexter is not going to be in Miami, will be a small town called iron lake, i think its in upstate NY
My concern with the small town Dexter idea is, I DONT want another Riverdale, lol
that show sucks!
How can you ever hear: “Stop that or you’ll put out an eye.” when all you ever do is hold a telephone? The good ole days rocked.
Stop that or you’ll go blind! Wait, that’s something else. lol
“Go cut me a switch.”
We didn’t have trees in Brooklyn, just the one tree that grows in Brooklyn. Fists and belts had to suffice
didnt Brooklyh have the Lorax? lol and smh
Piggy,
I could care less about Mr. Potato Head and never mentioned it. I tried to order “My Favorite Seuss” which has a collection of 13 of his books. Three were BAD BOOKS, and ten were ‘those are acceptable’. I can’t order that book anymore on Amazon or Ebay. I’m having difficulty ordering that book ANYWHERE. Why? Cancel culture. As an older adult, I’m not allowed to read things that aren’t part of the Ministry’s program of reading. I can’t decide for myself or even get a collection with ten good books because they say so.
On trans rights, since you mentioned them, I support any adult doing whatever they want to do as long as it doesn’t harm others. I don’t support biological males competing with women though. That’s cheating by any standard. I do not support child abuse though. Children do not have a fully developed mind and should not be allowed to make life altering decisions early. Neither should their parents in such instances. CPS goes after parents for far less in today’s USA. If you still think you are the opposite gender at age 18, do whatever. Let your parents save up for those expensive surgeries and hormones until then. I think any doctor that performs this should have their license revoked and the child should be allowed to sue anyone related to this (including their terrible parents) until they die. It’s a lifelong option to sue people for specific acts of abuse and harm.
We can talk about bigger issues in life but I haven’t seen any Democrat politician help people with these issues. Name an issue, and I’ll show where they either did nothing, or their decisions led to worse results. Anything at all. Repubs aren’t good for that either but they have more non-interventionists in their ranks.
Funny thing is that you can find Mein Kampf and the Anarchist Cookbook on eBay.
Holy shit, I can’t believe what I’m reading. Another season of Dexter? Halle-fucking-lujah! They have the opportunity to fix the current God-awful ending to the series.
From what my wifey told me, they’re basically just doing a redo on the last season, which as we all know ended poorly.
Unfortunately unless they make Debra somehow less dead than she currently is, they won’t be able to fix that particular element. I absolutely hated the way they treated her character.
But if they can come up with a more satisfying ending for Dexter himself, that will go a long way.
i was thinking of that also, who is going to be in the Dexter show besides him? lol he pretty much killed everyone off
maybe they could bring back quinn or masuka, but the main characters are gone
I’m sure there are more but this is one of the Dr. Seuss depictions that has been pointed too as racist. It’s one part of a much larger full-page cartoon.
Oh the horror!!!
Guess it could be seen as an ancient stereotype. An Asian in a white lab coat might work better these days. ..lol
Had an Asian person handy to assess. No big deal to her, but then she’s hard to offend about such.
And the line is, “A Chinese man that eats with sticks.” Horrifying.
RIP Tony Hendra. He died in a bizarre gardening accident. Authorities said… best leave it… unsolved.
Tony Hendra, the British humorist and National Lampoon alumnus who played the blundering This Is Spinal Tap band manager responsible for delivering both the tiny Stonehenge and one of the film’s greatest sight gags, died Thursday of Lou Gehrig’s disease in Yonkers, NY. He was 79.
Hendra’s wife Carla confirmed his death to The New York Times. The actor first was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), in 2019.
It was an homage, David.
Before known as — Arrowhead Stadium
Now known as — GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium

We can’t have Dr Seuss but we can have Gay a feel d.
Ok
LOL — but who is “d”? 🙂
Finally, some analysts are talking about what I’ve been talking about for some time: how will those prospects who opted out be viewed come Draft Day?
Todd McShay and Scott Van Pelt…
Thanks for the good vid. Sure would prefer to take Smith at #8 instead of #3. And yeah that opt out is an interesting dynamic. Chase wasn’t shy about it — he flat out just said can do this and will take the year getting ready for the draft. But am sure injury concerns were part of it.
No problem, Stanger. I felt is was interesting… and that somebody actually addressed the issue I’ve brought up many times here before.
dolphins will trade down, because the number 3 spot will go to a team that wants one of the top 4 QBs
we could trade with the panthers and get their number 8 pick for a non quarterback impact player, possibly one of the top two WR in the draft.
this would cost the Panthers their next nears number one, and a extra pick this year as well, maybe a 2 or 3
Not necessarily, David… though I’ve been predicting the same as you for a while now. IF we value Penei or Parsons, we’d likely lose them in a tradedown scenario, contingent to how far we trade down and if the compensation is worth it.
Nothing is absolute, it’s always fluid.
Oh yeah, I failed to mention that this is why Draft boards came into creation. If so-and-so is gone, do we freak out on the spot, or do we follow our board? NOTHING is clear cut.
And even Draft boards can be amiss for the unexpected. Say the Patsies* trade all the way up for… let’s say Trevor Lawrence (highly unlikely). Do we need to account for that, being we’ll be playing him twice a year for perhaps the next decade?
Everything is fluid, such is life.
Heard about pansexuals but never heard a doc explain what it is before. Apparently means you are into more than just men and women. I get the transgender part, but who else identifies “outside of the gender binary of man or woman”? We talking the pick up line is “Hey I’m Rover a neutered dog.”
—————————————-
“Bisexuality as a term has experienced criticism for adhering to a binary system of gender, a.k.a. ‘I’m attracted to men and women,’ even though this strict definition of bisexuality doesn’t fit many bisexual-identified folks,” says Rena McDaniel, who has a master’s degree in counseling with a specialty in gender and sexual identity.
Pansexuality, on the other hand, is seen as “more inclusive” of people who are transgender or identify outside of the gender binary of man or woman, she says.
Can you please explain this with potato heads.
lmao
Mr. Potato Head
Looks like he can hook up with…..
LOL
Comments on the massive salary cap reduction that hits on March 17th. Lot of vets will be up for grabs.
————
“It’s going to be a massacre next week all around the league.”
— a current head coach.
“it will be a bloodbath around the league”
— John Clayton
John Clayton is still a source? Haven’t heard from him in awhile.
Same here, Bookman. It’s been a very long time since I’ve even heard his name.
Clayton was to the writer of the article took this from at least. He left ESPN 4 years ago and is still active on radio…. doesn’t mean he is dead.
Lol, I kind of thought he was!
Stanger, I’m not trying to undermine the greater point, and Clayton IS right. It’s just that it’s been a while since I’ve heard his name or even a report from him. Thought he may have retired.
I haven’t given him a thought for years, but is no reflection on the accuracy of his report or validity of his opinion
Exactly, Bookman!
It’s should be an interesting offseason. Glad we have the draft capital we have. 🙂
Exactly, it is so awesome to have a good organization and the assets we have and all of the possibilities. Fun time, finally, to be a fan. Sit back and trust the decision makers.
And we’re only just starting phase III. 😉
Yeah but I can’t wait for phase LVI or LVII
LOL, I see what BBM did right there! 😉
Good eye! lol
Good one BBMike. 🙂
Bookman, being you are of the north mid-section of the country, have you ever been a fan of The Time or Prince?
I love this song by The Time (Morris Day), but it’s time signature throws me off, BIG TIME! Still, I love it!
I heard Von Miller could be a cap casualty as well. He would fit our system as an edge rusher.
Last I heard regarding Von Miller, he’s going to be re-signed by the Broncos, they really want him back.
I mean, TBD, but that’s the latest I heard.
I was just going by a report my friend told me about when we were discussing the same thing about cap casualties. A lot of teams are going to have very different looks this year both with coaches and personnel.
Too old
^
We’re trying to maintain a young stable of players in this rebuild. I don’t think Von Miller fits the bill, plus he’s coming off a major injury.
I hear ya, but it’s about adding good players that are the right fit. He’ll only be 32 this month. We don’t want a team filled with 30+ players but one here and there I don’t see as not possible. You don’t want an overly young team either. That’s why the KVN release was kind of surprising. We’ll see. I’m excited to see what our 2021 roster will look like.
His late injury last year is a concern. That’s why the Broncos might move on because they’re revamping too. I’m just sharing some ideas. I’m not saying we must target Von Miller. LOL
It’s all good, man! Nobody is trying to paint you into a corner or anything like that. And I was just sharing the latest I’d heard from Broncos’ camp… that they really want him back. Like I always say… we’ll see what happens.
OR… time shall reveal.
M
I like Prince, but my only exposure to The Time is from Purple Rain. I like that music though
That’s cool! I’m an old school music junkie, and have always liked The Time, Morris Day, and Prince. My favorites of them all are Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who went onto the SOS Band and eventually as Janet Jackson’s exclusive producers.
That music is nice!
Prince was the one who FIRED Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, after they didn’t make it to the studio during a huge snowstorm.
JJ and TL then joined the SOS Band… and the rest is history!

words to the wise, if invited to these guys house for dinner, SKIP the mashed potatoes, lol
no telling where they came from, and what they have been used for
MF i agree with you that nothing is set in stone.
but there are some things that most agree on, the first 4 or 5 selections will likely be a QB.
i figure the real value of that pick is to somehow get an extra first round pick next year by trading it down with someone in need of a QB/
Im getting spoiled having multiple first round picks, lol would love to see it again for 2022
It’s good! But what music do you appreciate that isn’t… WHITE? LOL
Charlie Pride!
i like alot , lol where to start, um, ill start with the OG< the pioneer rocker , Chuck Berry. he was awesome for his time, and all time!
I’m not familiar with him, but I see! Yes, and how about Hootie? He’s one of Marino’s greatest fans!
Hootie was awesome too< Chuck Berry was a little before My time too, but he was an incredible pioneer, shook the world up out of their funk, and took us to the rock and roll era
one of the best guitarist of all time, top 5 for sure, Jimi Hendrix
classic song, lol everyone has copied this one
David, citing somebody like Chuck Berry — who was UNIVERSALLY accepted by everyone — doesn’t count. That’s like saying, ‘yeah, I liked that ******, even though he was black’.
You want to be MODERN, right? Cite me somebody in recent years… not somebody from over half a century ago, brah.
And after viewing your examples above (after the page refreshed), why aren’t you embracing TODAY’S music? You ARE a progressive, are you not?
Do you dig the ‘SONG OF THE YEAR: WET ASS PUSSY (WAP)’? Why do you only cite songs from the 60s?
i do like wet ass pussy, but not the song, lol
cardi b is hot, but the vulger and repititive lyrics dont work for Me
lol i told You he was a start, a pioneer
MF, not really into the new music, it just doesnt sound good, lol
im fine with movies or classic rock, blues, funk, and if in the mood something different like Jazz or Disco
MF, i have smoked Cardi B brand CBD, is that progressive enough? lol
it didnt taste like wet ass pussy though

———————-
Don’t you feel as though we’re getting worse as a society? The songs you cite (which I LOVE!) was from a generation (or more) ago. But today’s music (for example: WAP) is ridiculous! How does that stand — as ‘Song of the Year’ — compared to some of the great music you’ve posted above, Brah?
I mean, c’mon! What’s going on with this shit!
i guess it speaks for the popularity of wet ass pussy, lol
everyone loves wet ass pussy, just didnt feel the need for a song about it , lol
for the ones that love the song, they can enjoy it, it just wasnt top shelf to me in many ways
But isn’t if offensive to the male gay community? I mean, suggesting that WAP is the bomb?
i dont know if its offensive to them or not, You would need to ask them
the 60s and 70s eras had the best music, and musicians imo
MF, the next time You are diving into some wet ass pussy, will You be singing that song? lol
NO! I’m a gentleman, and I find that song to be degrading to true ladies, in all honesty.
I’m not even trying to be ‘offended’ like the cancel culture that is, but dammit, WTF is going on in this country?
‘WAP’ wins song of the year, while Dr. Seuss, Mr. Potato Head, and MORE important things are being attacked?
Now they’re going after my guy Pepe Le Pew! When will the nonsense stop?!!
to be honest, that song is every bit as offensive as dr seuss or anything else
imagine if we had preteen daughters, SMH its really vulger and low class IMO
trashy
Even with a young team there are always the Fred Dean’s, Kevin Greene’s, Trace Armstrong’s and Von Miller’s. Just saying. 😉
MF< the reason that wet ass pussy wont be banned is, its making tons of money, the seuss publishers have like 70 other books to make money on, and wont miss a few old ones that werent in circulation anymore anyway
if wet ass pussy was not making money, it might be possible to pressure the record company , but song of the year is Millions in the bank

Then WHY did it take you so many years to FINALLY trash Dr. Seuss? Aren’t you like 40 years behind the time? Why didn’t y’all do it THEN, when it came out?
And WHY, only NOW, are y’all trashing Pepe Le Pew?
Brah, this is just WEIRD. Nitpicking on things that are over 50 years old? Yeah, y’all even tried to cancel “The Duke” just last year.
We can go WAY BACK, and cancel humanity altogether.
im not progressive or part of what culture it sounds like You think i am, lol
i have always said im an independent, but i do agree with alot of progressive ideas.
these seuss books were SO old, they were banned Before i went to elementary school, which was along time ago, lol
i didnt know they even existed, i was reading the Lorax, the Grinch, Hop on Pop, those old original seuss books had already been removed, back in the 60’s
so of course i dont miss what i never knew existed.
i dont know anything about canceling duke or the pig, i havent kept up with those subjects
btw, i dont cancel anything, lol but im not gonna freak out over the seuss publishers decision, it doesnt effect Me
ANY and ALL of our ancestors were slaves, at some point in time… that’s just how humanity works. Beware of the NEW recogning… it’ll be even worse than what it is now.
I’ll just say there is a lot of hypocrisy in the world and everyone is responsible.
Alright, I’m done with my non-football thoughts.
whats scary to some, might seem trivial to me, i try to live a life without too much worry and stress, and i dont sweat the small shit, or try to change things i cant
the stock market is the greatest humbler of all time, sometimes your on the mountain, and sometimes in the valley, and the valley is extremely painful, lol
the key is knowing what to do in either situation,,,and being able to handle things so they dont handle You
thursday afternoon i was down over $20 K on the week and was ready to break something, lol
but i figured i might not be able to afford to replace whatever i broke, so i took a deep breath and started buying the shit out of everything that was down, it was scary, market looked like it broke support and more losses were coming., but the candles looked good, and so did the prices
but i kept my calm, cost averaged, again and again, SMH, and cashed out some nice gains friday afternoon
a friend once told me , dont let the highs get ya too high, and dont let the lows get ya too low, and i wont forget that, lol
Nobody cares
not a fan of wet ass pussy ? lol its an acquired taste

Agreed with Bookman. Today’s success in the markets could be tomorrow’s disaster. It’s now more unstable than EVER before, post-election.
its not more unstable than ever before, thats not true, ive seen much worse
the markets are extremely volatile worldwide, investors are scared of higher interest rates
but the corrections always lead to bull runs, everytime
News that jobs growth was stronger than expected fed fears that the U.S. economy might actually bounce back too strongly from the COVID-19 pandemic. That could create inflationary pressures that in turn might destroy the underpinnings of the stock market’s bullish advance.
However with an improved economy in 2021, the markets will advance as well
David, nobody on here cares about your stock market strategy. People who insist on talking about how they make I’ve it a remoney are either lying or are so egotistical, one might make a comparison to Trump. Maybe that is you, an egotistical megalomaniac like him. Why the need to update us on the money you “allegedly” make? Give it a rest and stick to your stories of pet cows and such
debbie downer much? you seem to always be in a foul mood, i havent done anything to You
i dont usually ask permission about subjects with you, and dont agree with Your opinions, You are insulting , argumentative, and demeaning, for no reason that im aware of
i wont get into political discussion with You either
i even met You in person, and we had a drink, it was good, no worries, now u act like a total asswipe, what gives with You? im ok
Yeah, we met in person, so what? Walker was there too, what does any of that matter? On the blog here, it is hard to follow most of what you are rambling about. You can’t seem to grasp any line of thinking or reason. I am sorry I engaged in conversation with you. I will not make that mistake again.
good, i have no time for your demeaning , false comments and babywhining, lol get over it
its not my fault you dont understand the markets, sorry, i wont ask You to invest a dime
I love this board.
its a hoot alright, lol
I do too. It is certainly populated by colorful individuals.
Love this tune! Bad stuff happened to this band, brothers. 😦

Love this tune too.
its good for chillin out with some old hippie stash/big love
Rule changes
An overtime proposal is a “spot-and-choose” rule that would keep the coin toss from having such an impact in OT. Under this proposal, one team would choose the yard line where the OT drive starts and the other team would choose whether they want to play offense or defense. For instance, if the Chiefs and Buccaneers were playing in overtime and the Chiefs won the coin toss, they would pick any yard line on the field. If they picked the 10-yard line (90 yards away from the end zone), the Buccaneers would get to choose whether they wanted to play offense or defense.
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
wow, this is one of the rules to scratch your head over. Im guessing if teams had to choose a yard line, while the other team chooses offense or defense, then the choice of yard line should always be midfield, the 50 yard line
a team could pick one yard line, and the other team says, we will play offense for that one yard, thanks, so I cant see this playing out differently smh
also for onside kicks, the idea of a 4th and 15 play is being voted on also
onside kicks are so rarely converted that something should be done, but i was thinking shrinking the recovery area down to 5 yards, versus 10 would do it
Pick and choose favors the better team, so I don’t like it.
If you choose to spot the ball on the 50, for sure the other team takes the ball every time, so you have to choose a spot as far back as possible where you still feel comfortable getting the ball.
That’s real original Ravens. I can name that tune in 3 notes
The only reason the front office released KVN is because his hand jewel started flashing red/black.

Too funny, last nights spud pics of Phelon’s dicktater and Stanger’s Tatertwat. 😆🐕

Smiles…
It just hit me, the reason I find this site so appealing. You all remind me so much of my family. And just as it is on these pages, seldom is there a concerted agreement amongst us. So as a family when loss, or suffering hits one, we all hurt.
Wyo, you will find better days ahead, God Bless.
Thank you Mike for the good work you do here.
And may everyone here find something everyday that makes them smile a little inside.
Thats what you all as a clan give me.
So thanks to All, again!
Go Fins!
I think we’ve lost that lovin feelinv…
That was very kind of you days — and one kooky screwed up family we are. Least no one has threatened to beat someone else up at the next Fest in a couple years. 🙂
Wyo – Sorry man, I hadn’t seen your post up top about losing your job and taking a pay cut with the new job. Thank Days for bringing that up. My best to you brother, hang in there man. Sorry you have to go through that. Hoping for a turnaround for you, if you want one that is.
