Draft day is approaching very quickly, so much so that I can already envision the arguments about who we took, when we took them and why we didn’t take this guy or that guy. It’s coming. Chris Grier and Brian Flores and the Miami Dolphins Scouting team will be questioned, ridiculed and revered by others all after 4 days of the draft in which the Dolphins currently hold 8 selections, starting with picks 5,18 in RD 1, 36 and 50 in RD 2, 81 in RD 3, 156 in RD 4 and then a long wait until picks 231 and 258 in RD 7. As usual, you can almost certainly expect some movement by our team in the draft, we have a history of wheeling and dealing, moving up back and all around at different junctures of the draft.
I think for the most part, the majority here understand that we need to help our QB by giving him better weapons on offense, and that could mean at a variety of positions including the trenches to give him better throwing lanes as well as keeping him healthy, more talent and reliability at receiver whether that receiver is a WR or TE and a durable ballcarrier who can also be a quality receiver out of the backfield. An easy way to have the QB improve is to give him better players around, see Ryan Tannehill and the Tennessee Titans for proof of such. We also have needs on defense but we made two key moves to make us better up the middle. First move was trading for ILB Benardrick McKinney to pair him with #55 Jerome Baker. We then signed FA DT John Jenkins. We do have AVG and Vince Biegel coming back on the outside but Biegel is coming off a torn achilles. He showed some promise before the injury, but whether the Dolphins are going to count on him remains to be seen. We need to get pressure from the edge, so I’d expect us to be looking at either an OLB or OLB/DE tweener who can rush the passer both standing up and with his hand in the ground.
Who are the most likely targets? I see mocks split for pick #6 with the usual suspects, WR Ja’Marr Chase, WR, DeVonta Smith, TE Kyle Pitts and OL Penei Sewell and Rashawn Slater. Once you get past our first pick, things as expected get more muddled. #18 is all over the map, from RB Najee Harris to EDGE rushers Kwity Paye, Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, Gregory Rousseau and Jaelan Phillips. Who we take at #6 will undoubtedly affect who we take next. If we don’t take a receiver with our first pick, say we go with an OL then I’m inclined to believe our next pick will be a WR. I can’t see going forward with the WR corps we currently have without finding a dependable, reliable high talent WR in this draft. I suppose receivers like Kadarius Toney or Rashod Bateman or Terrace Marshall could be the guy but I think we go for top tier talent here and either Chase, Smith or Pitts is the first pick. I’ll get more into the rest of the draft next week, and I’m sure there will be even more speculation, rumor and innuendo to discuss next week.

Great song.
I could see us trading up from 18 because if we get Pitts/Chase at 6 we could go after Parsons, but if we took Parsons at 6 then we might be able to move up and get Smith or Waddle.
THAT’S what I’ve been talking about, YUP! My only trouble with that? We’d better hope one of the top RBs are still on the board @ R2P4 for us.
I agree. I don’t think Parsons gets past the Pats at #15. They loaded up on offense in FA.
Doubting we go Parsons at #6. We could either trade down from # 6 or trade up from #18 for Parsons. We stick at #6 and has to be a pass catcher.
Taking Parsons at is more unlikely but you never know
Fields gets the Son seal of approval. I like his game stej will fuck up and take the “faggy” Wilson. Good for us. 9 ers will rock with Fields.
I still like Mac too he’s an NFL QB his only problem is he might be 10 years too late. The ball comes out and he drives the ball downfield he throws 35-40 yard passes on a rope.
LOL @ faggy Wilson
He is though right?
He looks like he should be in a boy band. LOL
Trask.
I would take him at 50 and be happy despite my love for the brisket. Brissett’s biggest problems are the same as Tua. Throw the fucking ball it has to come out even if you throw it out of bounds, it’s gotta come out.

Well you know I’ve been high on Parsons for months. I think he’s exactly what we need. I really believe he’s a guy we can move around in our multiple defense.
————
YES… I know. I recall you asking me about Parsons a few months back. And it was YOU who got me thinking about the whole opt-out matters… meaning, how will scouts react to as much, without having seen one of these guys on the gridiron for over a year.
As far as I’m concerned, you were the first on Parsons on this blog. Me? I thank you for having asked me, but I was still in ‘what does this year off mean for these players?’ mode. Honestly? I didn’t think Parsons would kill his Pro-Day… but he certainly DID!
Props to you, Tim!
Parsons would fit well in the scheme.
I did nothing special, just always felt he looked the part of a big time LB who can do a lot of things.
Oh and BTW you argumentative fucks lol we don’t trade with San Fran unless Philly is already in place they said as much. Grier insisted with both teams to keep it quiet they said as much. We never wanted 12 but got to 6 by landing on “Free Parking”.
Yep!
Team never wanted #12, but doesn’t stop a whole lot of armchair GMs from wanting it. And I’m one of them.
Well yeah but nanny nanny boo boo
I’ve said many times I would not care if we took Parsons at #6. I know it won’t be popular but I don’t care. I think he’s going to be a pro bowler and all pro. There is even more WR depth than there is edge and LB.
I want him too. He is so fucking fast. Question the pro day forty but his speed shows up like nobody else. Would love to have him.
He’s got that prototype size to at 6-3 245. I don’t care if his 40 was more like 4.45 than 4.39 but he looks sub 4.5 which is just fine.
Piggs, I miss Landry too we should have never let him get away. I call it the Gase effect.
What do we need more than anything right now?
Exactly we need Jarvis.
Flores wouldn’t have let him get away. Never misses a game and balls out every week.
He would have become one of the greatest draft picks we ever made.

Jabril Cox should become a Dolphin in a couple of weeks. That’s exciting!
I like Jamin Davis too.
Tryon from Washington too
But what I like about Cox is that he’s a fast coverage LB that could stay on the field and be an in the box Safety without losing anything in coverage.
I like Tryon too. Just remember Cox is what Baker is. Baker rarely leaves the field.
I got a nanny nanny boo boo in I think this argument is over lol
Because of the draft capital we have this year at the top, I would not mind packaging picks from next year to move around and get players we really dig. We need to get that next step started this year.
Agreed. There is some elite speed we can capitalize on and we need to and then you gotta go. Gitterdone (boy I miss him)
You put Parsons, Pitts/Chase and Harris/Williams on this team look out 👀
Remember Flores is a defensive coach and Grier is on board with defense as well.
The old Tim is back, was starting to worry👍
LOL
Looks like Tim shook off Daviditis!

@ 18
This nagging voice keeps whispering in my ear that Miami wants Devonte Smith at #6.
Not sure if he cks all the boxes but i think he cks their boxes, elusive playmaker who has chemistry with Tua
@36
man, I really enjoyed that highlight reel!!! BBM has posted reels on Williams since mid season for college ball, but with draft a few weeks away this is starting to feel REAL. lol. He is more powerful than Etienne and faster than Harris.

Spending the day touring Nova Southeastern U with my son in the morning with my son and hitting the Fort Lauderdale beach in the afternoon. Saw Florida Southern College up in Lakeland yesterday
He’s an obvious fit, but what’s the motivation for putting it out there that Flores loves Parsons?
Is he stating the obvious, since it seems to be a perfect fit or is it a smokescreen?
Flores doesn’t tell everyone who they like, last year that person was Herbert
It is smokescreen season. All this stuff is guess work right now
I only put PII on the internet, when I want the world to know, but since yours is already out there…
Happy Birthday Ken
Thank you
Happy B-Day Ken!!!!!!!!
Thank you
If Smith’s fragility isn’t an issue, he makes the most sense, especially if Fuller is resigned next year, because of his ability to get open and smoothness.
WRs that are smooth play faster than they are, because they don’t give you a chance to react, once they make their move they’re gone.
He seemed like he was toying with defenders at times last year, he’d run past, like they were standing still.
You could make a case for all 4 of these receivers and why we moved back to 6, and might move again to 8 or 9.
Pitts would be insurance for Gesicki, Waddle for Fuller, Chase is a little like our top 3 now, but Smith is in a class by himself.
Not saying Smith is better, just that he’s different, so something we don’t have
With that said, and if how the team feels, then maybe we don’t want QB4 taken before 6, because it may remove a trade partner.
Best thing to happen before 6 is Sewell taken IMO
Everything keeps going back to, whatever happens at 6, we’ll still be in a good position.
Say we trade back to 9 or 10, since it’s now out there that Flores loves Parsons, maybe someone jumps us and takes him, leaving us another receiver.
Dallas, Jones, seems to love Pitts, we could drop down to 10 and get some nice motivated compensation, if he’s there at 6.
Word seems to be, if you want to move up talk to the Fins, but not you Belicheat
1a Parsons
1b Oweh
Are you saying Parsons at 6 and Owen at 18?
That could work, but I’d rather have O fire power
Defensive coach, trade back a little pick up extra picks and get Parsons, you may be able to do the same with 18 and still get the edge guy.
fill out your O power later on in the draft.
From Robert A. Heinlein’s “Friday” copyright 1982.
What are the marks of a sick culture?
”It is a bad sign when the people of a country stop identifying themselves with the country and start identifying with a group. A racial group. Or a religion. Or a language. Anything, as long as it isn’t the whole population.”
“…the population must lose faith in both the police and the courts.” “Elementary. Go on.” “Well…high taxation is important and so is inflation of the currency and the ratio of the productive to those on the public payroll. But that’s old hat; everybody knows that a country is on the skids when its income and outgo get out of balance and stay that way—even though there are always endless attempts to wish it away by legislation. But I started looking for little signs, what some call silly-season symptoms. For example, did you know that it is against the law here to be naked outside your own home? Even in your own home if anybody can see in?” “Rather difficult to enforce, I suspect. What significance do you see in it?” “… It seems to me that any law that is not enforced and can’t be enforced weakens all other laws.”
“Sick cultures show a complex of symptoms such as you have named…but a dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot.”
Nobody gives a shit about any of that, whatever their side says that’s word.
We’ve lost all common sense
So hard for me to do a mock and not trade down from #18.
6 Micah Parsons LB • Penn State
18 Teven Jenkins RT • Oklahoma State
36 Javonte Williams HB • North Carolina
50 Jabril Cox LB • LSU
81 Marquez Stevenson WR • Houston
156 Michal Menet C • Penn State
231 Tarron Jackson ED • Coastal Carolina
258 Matt Bushman TE • BYU
Hunt/Jenkins on the right side would be sick. Substitute Trey Hill at OC and Kindley to LG we would have one nasty/mauling OL.
Parsons will be awesome opposite AVG! Looking at Jabril Cox, his versatility in our defense would be limitless with his coverage ability.
First, Jabril Cox at North Dakota State:
Then, at LSU. Did not miss a beat on the biggest stage in college football:
His highlights look great, my problem with them was it was short, so did he only make like 10 plays all year?
He also wears #19, so😉
He’s got a long mean lean body type in the mold of Rousseau, that I like
At NDS he had 258 tackles, 32 TFL, 14 sacks, 6 INT, 2 Pick 6
First and only year in SEC he had 58 tackles, 6.5 TFL 1 sack, 3 INT, 1 pick 6
Meh
He’s a project, avg tackler at best, lacks instincts to be a great LB, but has some coverage skills, so there’s something to work with.
Maybe at 81, if we didn’t have any other needs
He could be a 3rd down LB his first 2 years in the NFL, but until he gets more strength and gets in the film room JAG.
He looks more like a seam threat TE
i’d bet we trade back again, we have too much going on early and not enough in the later rnds.
there may be a team that wants to move up in the 2nd for a 2 next year like the saints did with us
I’d possibly trade down with both 1sts, depending on how the board falls, but not in the 2nd.
Somewhere between 8 and 10 seems to be our sweet spot, then down to around 25 to get Rousseau.
History tells me we should be able to get Williams at 36.
Top 4 wr + Rousseau and Williams, to go along with some extra draft capital and I’d be a happy camper
two weeks to go, then we can get back to politics.
did i mention the left sucks?
Slow down a little, they can’t respond for 2 weeks
That’s why you don’t like Tua…he’s a lefty!
LOL
That’s close
T minus 341
Steve, my knocks on on Cox are he needs to get better at getting off blocks and better in pursuit.
The draft is not deep at edge or LB. He was the best I saw at #50 this go around. Ossai went at #45. Only other best option I had was Carlos Basham and he is more like a 4-3 DE than an OLB/Edge type.
You are not going to find an elite LB/Edge at #50 this draft really. I was just thinking versatility.
Knock on wood?
Rousseau after a trade back in the 1st or another Edge like Oweh or Ojulari, then RB at 36 and we won’t need any more front 7 guys, go after a C or S at 50
Assuming we get some extra picks from trading down in 1st.
You never hit on all your draft picks in a year, so would you rather trade up after the 3rd round, so the guy taken is a better prospect or keep all the picks, with the thinking 1 of the may stick?
i think we move back with the 2nd rnders due to the talent being more similar
We gotta get that RB at 36
pick up more 3rds 4ths & 5ths
RBs slide, look at last year, the first one taken at 32
Steve, my biggest fear is Harris and Williams both going between #25(Steelers) and #35(Falcons). Falcons desperately need a RB. Etienne may be more their flavor though since they like to open things up.
I really hope Steelers go OL at #25.
Anything but RB will do, unless we trade back past 24
Oh, Steelers is #24.
Didn’t we just sign Malcom Brown? with our other RBs is RB a need?
we should bolster that OL in the 2nd rnd
You’d rather bolster the OL, then draft a lead back?
RBs are a dime a dozen
I doubt we do anything at #6 other than take a player whomever that may be, we gave Philly too much for that spot, if they trade back out without getting a kings ransom that wouldn’t look very good. at 18 depending on who they are targeting, unless they are targeting multiple players that shiny new toy may be hard to resist.
At 6, if you’re good drafting 5 players anything you get going down as far as 10 is a bonus.
I agree at 18
depends on what the comp is, if you settle for a 3rd, and gave up a 1st to move from 12.
i’d say that would be a huge blunder!
depending on what atlanta & cincy do that #6 pick may be worth a kings ransom, as there may be 2 out of the 5 first rnd qbs available there,
who wants a QB?
I sure hope Philly gets our #32 pick next year, Otherwise there may be a hot seat available in Davie FL
with the 36th pick in the NFL draft the dolphins select………Trey Hill, C/G, Georgia
and the crowd goes wild!
Checked to see who we could possibly upgrade with all these extra mid round picks people want us to get.
On O assuming we take a WR and RB in the 1st 2 rounds, that leaves maybe 2 OL spots that might be upgraded.
On D assuming we take an Edge/ OLB in 1st or 2nd, we could have 2 spots open on front 7 and 2 open on the backend.
That gives us 6 possible upgrades after pick 36.
Pick 50 and 81, will be on the team, after that, say we had in addition to our 3 current picks, 2 or 3 more picks, so 5 or 6 picks to replace Needham, Eguavon, Tom and Pankey.
I guess we could use some upgrading, but is it going to improve the team this year?
is Safety a need? Trevon Moehrig, S, TCU
Was referring to a roster spot

_________________________________________________
i want a running game no doubt, but that also has to do with the OL as well, Hunt didn’t impress last year, we lost our center. and we have a good stable of RBs.
sure it would be great to get a shiny RB and we may.
realistically if i’m in flores & grier shoes, i do what i can to have manageable down and distance on 2nd. brown can do that for you if you have a solid OL.
how high are they on our current situation at OL. IDK that info but i would assume they have to pay attention to it in the draft. you can find Rbs anywhere, 6.0 220 lbs guys that can run are plentiful, it’s tough to find a 330LBS guy that can move so it makes sense to spend your resources there.
OL is a difficult position to excel at as a rookie, even Tunsil didn’t start kicking it into gear at LT until about year 3.
Hunt is good enough at RT, he has 2 more years to prove it, that’s when Flowers’ contract is up
Every year it’s the same, everyone wants that great RB or WR, the flashy guy over meat and potatoes, that guy can’t flash without meat and potatoes though.
We did the meat and potatoes last year, it’s time to get the wr and rb.
Tua was fine before Williams got hurt and struggled after
Yeah, it is time to get sexy! Pass rush, RB, WR, etc. More meat and potatoes at 81 and later.
with the 36th pick in the NFL draft the dolphins select………Trey Hill, C/G, Georgia
——————————
I am guessing that was sarcasm. Trey Hill is like rated OC5. He would be a good pickup at #156. He is a bull in the run game and is almost impossible to bull rush. He just doesn’t really have the athleticism to move over to OG. An OC is what he is.
I had seen a mock had him going early 2nd, i think it was walter football mock, updated today
#35
Atlanta Falcons: Trey Hill, C/G, Georgia
The Falcons lost Alex Mack this offseason. They have 2020 third-rounder Matt Hennessy to fill that role, but they also have a huge void at left guard, so one of Hennessy or Trey Hill could be slotted there.
That seems really early for Hill
https://walterfootball.com/draft2021_2.php
he played beside Kindley
said he put on weight, projected 3rd or 4th, not sure why they have him taken #35

I am.
🙋♀️
Gotta be
There’s something out there, but it certainly doesn’t look like one of these Hollywood UFO characters
Believe in life on other planet, but the physics of them coming here baffles me.
No
Yes Herd! Very into it.
We want a 4th QB taken before us…..not sure want it to be the Pats. Or least if it is hope they do a RG3.
I doubt the Pats would trade up, they acquire picks not give them away, no way Bellichick trades up.
A dream scenario
When military pilots have seen what they refer to as a tic tac shaped type of craft moving like nothing they have ever seen and hitting speeds beyond what we have that has to count for something. Obviously there are the other reports of what people have seen for years and the abductions etc.
There is no way there is not other life in the universe other than Earth.
speaking from reality, there’s no such thing as a UFO from outer space, if you could travel 1/10th the speed of light which would be really fast, 67,000 MPH it would get you to our nearest star in 40 years, and all you would find there are scorched planets.
the nearest confirmed goldilocks planet is in the trappest system 40 light years away.
it would take 400 years traveling at 67,000 MPH.
and we really don’t know if that could sustain life much less have intelligent beings.
we’ve been sending out radio signals traveling at the speed of light for 100 years and have yet to hear any alien signal. if trappest system had intelligent life we would have heard them by now
space is just too vast, UFO’s are fiction.
Would have to be craft that defy our current knowledge of physics. Why Sci Fi films talk about hyperspace and wormholes.
^ ORob is speaking in human technology. What if there is a species that has been evolving for a million years or so? We’ve only been flying for little over 100 years. It wasn’t that long ago where horse and buggy and wooden ships was the the main source of travel.
Could send out unmanned probes if willing to wait decades or even centuries for the results. Other than that have to break the laws of physics as we know them. But like you point out at one point no one thought planes were possible. Einstein is just one guy after all.
Stanger, see my post below on unmanned.
Agree: UFOs are fiction
can’t wait to see what the james webb telescope has to offer, i think it’s scheduled to launch in October 2021, you can travel thru space with that and you are still looking back in the past.
you would see the trappest system as it was 40 years ago
Another thing is, it most likely be life piloting UFOs but computer controlled just like we do with drones and sending technology to Mars. Artificial life (robots, droids etc.) could be what they send to other worlds. They don’t need to sustain life on their ventures and it doesn’t matter if they can’t return home. You gotta think outside of the box on this.
“it most likely WOULDN’T be life”
Can’t count out probes being sent out. It’s the time frame that is difficult for as to why. But who knows……… might be an alien race where their folks live for many centuries.
Right! Humans are only 200K years old or so and look at how much we’ve evolved in just the last 100+ years. We’re already living longer but it’s just a blip on the screen of time. Now think about another alien race that has been technologically advanced 10,000 times longer that or more.
This blog is like a box of chocolates
Sorry for not tossing one down with you tonight, but was the right move. M.A. is pretty broken up.
Totally understand. We hit the beach Las Olas then had dinner at Lulu’s. BTW good call on Big City it was really good
Did Daniel have a burger?
Yes he did . Big ass burg. I had the shrimp pad Thai which was excellent
The soft baked pretzel appetizer with the cheese sauce was really good too
Hope was willing to order it how he wanted. I always go with jack, bacon and a fried egg on top. Like I said they will do it however you want even if not mentioned on the menu.
They did and he liked it
I forgot to say Happy Birthday Ken!
Thank you Tim
Is anyone here denying Wedge’s existence?
1/10 the speed of light is 18,600 miles per second, not 67,000 MPH. Other than that, basically agree with Rob.
Mathematically speaking, there is almost certainly life elsewhere in the universe. And almost as certain are the odds it has never been here unless it created us.
And happy B-day, Ken.
🎂 😃
It’s probably not life coming here but technology from an alien race just like we’re starting to do on Mars. Think about them doing that 10,000 times longer than us just to throw out a figure. Just like when we see NASA high five each other in the control room when we have a landing, they did the same thing finally making it to Earth’s atmosphere. But maybe they just say nano nano. LOL
Tim,
The odds are just astronomically against it. First, We’ve only been capable of reasoning about the existence of UFOs for what? 15,000 years?
What are the odds we happen to get some probe, manned or unmanned in such a ridiculously small period of time in terms of scale of the time the universe? It would be like looking at a spot for a split second anticipating a lightning strike, then seeing a lightning strike in that split second you were expecting it…except infinitely more improbable, lol.
2nd, if an alien technology had the capability of finding us during the same period of time they were also in existence (another astronomically small chance) and had the ability to get here, why would they need to send all sorts of different flying saucers or whatever over and over again? They would obviously have the capability of knowing whatever they needed to without even having to send probes into our atmosphere over and over for us to discover.
That is just two of so many things that would have to happen for UFOs to have been/be here, that it isn’t even worth the time to bring it up all the other stuff. The only argument that changes the odds IMO is if we were created by an alien race because it takes all those things out of it other than the tech to move between the stars.
I think there is life out there, but I think the universe has either been created, or happened to develop, in a way that keeps us separated from each other.
Think on this- We’ve been sending out radio waves into space for 100 years (very generously) in an attempt to make contact. We have approximately 50 stars that are within 16 light years of us. Those radio waves have only traveled far enough to reach maybe 100 of the closest stars or so.
In the words of Douglas Adams- Space is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly hugely mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist, but that’s just peanuts to space. LOL
Kong, I’ve got some stuff to do so I’ll continue with this later on. Just remember our very primitive human existence is already sending stuff to another planet in Mars. When I said 10,000 that wasn’t years, that was x 100 since we’ve been technologically advanced. That would add up to a million years. Think about the knowledge and technology compared to ours. An alien race might be so out there of what we’re capable of comprehending at this time.
Cheers, Tim. 🙂
I can accept the possibility of tech greater than our own that we can’t conceive of. There are a lot of other highly improbable things that would have to be true as well, like the time factor I mentioned. That is a big one. Or the fact that a technology that great would have no need to send clunky things into our atmosphere.
I think we as humans just always have a need to make ourselves more important than we are, and belief that aliens are visiting us is just one manifestation of that. And that isn’t a knock on people that believe. I feel the same way about God and religion, so….
I still don’t get the love for Hunt or Kindley….or even Jackson. They were rookies, so I have no problem saying they can get better and be solid players. Jackson looks like he has a higher ceiling. But, none of them graded out very good. They all looked like rookies…no issue there….but Hunt should probably be a guard and Kindley better find a way to stay in shape and improve in pass pro. When you’re the 70-80th best player at your position….that isn’t good. Again, rookies, I get it….but none of them looked irreplaceable.
***
We averaged less than 4 ypc last year and ranked 29th in rushing. Terrible. Our QBs were harassed way too fast and too often. Yes, they were an improvement over the years before, but this OL was no where near good. It kinda sucked, actually.
****
And Happy Birthday, Ken!
Thank you. Randy always wanting more big uglies

you’re right, i left off a couple of zeros, it’s 6,700,000 MPH
186000 MPS x 60 x 60 = 669,600,000 mph/10
O Rob can’t believe in Tua !! Ya think he’s gonna buy into UFOs ?? 🤡
FYI I believe in BOTH 👍😊
now if i had to guess what would happen first UFOs or tua throwing for 200 yards? let’s just say i’m now looking in the sky.
LMAO. Well played
milky way has a distance of 150 to 200 thousand light years across, if you were to send a probe at the speed of light for 500 years to a distant system, it wouldn’t amount to a gnat on the milky way and it would take a 1000 years just to get the info back.
i would assume the best way to send life to distant worlds would be to send the seeds of life there and let robots activate them, maybe thats how we got here
Happy B-Day, Hulkster!
Ditto Happy hulk anniversary
Thank you thank you
Hope ya enjoy FL. I simply cannot compute sitting on a beach right now…
It felt so good to be at the beach. Unfortunately going back home tomorrow
Interesting feature on Najee…
Sigh, I was about to put some ribs on, I was just waiting for the grill to get to temp. Thought I’d pop on real quick and see what was up on the blog. Then I forgot and started commenting about UFOs. I ran out there, and my charcoal was all alight and way too hot. I basically wasted a whole chimney of charcoal because of those damn aliens, lol.
🔥🐵
Another example of why damn dirty apes shouldn’t play with fire.
My dad said something similar back when I was in 6th grade and accidentally burned down that hill, lol.
Ken,
Happy Birthday! You made me a but hungry with all the food talk. Sounds like you had a blast.
It was a good couple of days but hectic. Touring colleges but at least got to enjoy some of Florida. My son is getting stressed about making a decision but at least he has some really good places to choose from
And thank you for the birthday wishes
There are some good places down there. Good luck to him the next few years. It will be fun. hectic, and stressful but noting like college.
I can’t believe any of them fell for that molasses trick
LOL
This is a very realistic take on aliens
Birthday special Robot Chicken
😆
Man, you guys are hella on the alien tip tonight! LOL
Y’all remind me of George “THE FUNK” Clinton and Bootsy Collins talking about such things, back in the day! 😀
OMG, Doge coin up 109 percent, bought with BTC up 4, for a total of 113 percent,
100 buying power margins
i had the buying power of over 1 million doge coins today OMG< You would NOT believe this, lmao i made 3 years salary in 24 hours !
i tried filling u guys in, and Doge isnt done yet, its designed to rise forever because of its blockchain design, and futures auto buying back in the dips
Elon Musk is fueling the excitement over Doge, just so ya know. I may invest in it very quickly.
i told you about it when You could buy 20 coins for a penny, not they are 26 cents each, but it will rise forever
when it hits $1, ill cash out and be a doge coin Millionaire, lol
i dont buy the coins, those are only 10X margins,
i get the futures, 100 X margins!
i use Kucoin and Coinbase, and have a blockcard Visa card to pay My daily expenses, utilites, car payment, etc
everything gets paid with Doge gains, lol
We’ll see! I wouldn’t bet my bottom dollar on ANYTHING. Just know when to get in and when to get out… that’s the recipe.
people used to laugh at me, why would You buy 100,000 of those sub penny coins, they wont ever go anywhere, but i did my research, and knew the future.
i still hold the actual coins, but the real gains are in the futures i recently added in to My portfolio for the extra buying power.
nobody is saying doge coins are for kids anymore, the former Meme coin is the fastest blockchain in the world, does transactions in less than a minute, where some coins like bitcoin take hours
You’d better know when to sell… that’s all I’m sayin’.
its designed to rise forever, i wont go into all the details here, but ill sell most all of them at $1
i am wrong about alot of things, but My crypto predictions have always been spot on
its EASY, just say they are going up, there isnt any guess work or research to it ,
unless You want to understand how the support line works
Seems to me that Najee Harris is on a MISSION for greatness. Check out the video I posted above. He and Tua seemed to hit it off INSTANTLY. They became roommates, and the rest is history.
I want to see a relevant video on Javonte Williams… I’ll find one and post it here.
Kong, good point on aliens sending clunky things into our atmosphere. What if they weren’t clunky at all but the size of a pea or smaller that could travel long distances and gather data in ways we can’t comprehend just yet. Maybe instead of sending one, they send thousands to maximize their success rate. Maybe it takes hundreds of years to reach their destiny but being that they’ve been around for over a million years it’s not such a big deal. New generations keep it all going just like what we’re doing just far beyond where we’re at.
Then again, maybe it’s not a solid object of any size at all, but something else that can travel far distances. You said we’ve been sending radio waves into space for 100 years. Has it even been that long? And if so, do you think that’s been good enough since 1921? We just started inventing cars and airplanes around that time. How were we reaching the far distances of space?
somebody is sending something, thats for certain, i have 2 videos of UFOS and light orbs, and they fly with a technology, that we dont have in the air yet
i took the videos with My cell phone, one a few months back, and the other one about 14 months ago
Speculatively, if it were happening, I think it would likely be something like what you outline above- energy based or using some sort of quantum mechanic technology, not giant tic-tacs moving weirdly in the sky, lol.
There are a lot of things that would have to happen for an alien visitation to even be possible, let alone actually happen, and while I don’t think it is impossible, I think it highly, highly unlikely. I personally think the odds of us being created by aliens a far more likely possibility, which I guess would then mean I do believe we are being visited by aliens, lol. But I think that highly unlikely as well.
It’s all fun speculation. And who knows? Maybe next week first contact happens globally, and all of our lives change. Just keep a tinfoil hat nearby and remember…swing away. LOL
But what was that tic tac? Maybe an anomaly or a purposeful deviation? Maybe a hologram or another illusion. Do you think a superior alien species could do that to us just like we do to other less intelligent species on Earth? I mean we catch fish with colored lures that are not real food. LOL
We tend to think we humans are at the top of it all, but maybe we’re at the level of krill in the ocean in the big scheme of things in the universe.
Tim, the 100 years thing when I said it I also said ‘very generously’, that was to indicate I was basically rounding it off to 100 years because I was too lazy to look up the exact date and I figured it was obvious. It’s probably closer to 60, but when talking about intervals this small, the difference between 60 and 100 is entirely insignificant.
i have a video of a light orb over an animal hospital that kept some sick dogs there overnight
the orb hovered silently, only 10 yards from Me, looking at Me, or so I thought, then it went over the roof of the animal hospital, and somehow the dogs sensed it and howled as loud as they could until it was about 100 yards away, then the dogs stopped, and the craft went ZOOM, full warp speed and gone, without making any noise i could hear, but the dogs heard it, must have been a very high pitch like a dog whistle, very weird

OR, God created the EARTH, and that s it. SMH. The more the Bible seems like a “ fairy tale” the more it is truthful.
he didnt create the rest of the universe? who did that for God?
the bible did not mention anything about the light orbs i took videos of with my phone, its a great book, but doesnt include everything about futuristic space flight in 2021, thousands of years later
Which God? Human cultures have how many… I don’t even know anymore? The one that resonates with me the most is the Sun. We surely don’t exist without the Sun.
Tim,
So alien probes is the most likely answer to the tic tac? Um no, just because we encounter a lot of phenomenon we don’t understand yet, doesn’t mean aliens is the answer.
Using science we currently have, unexplained phenomenon are more likely to be nearly anything else other than aliens because the laws of physics as we currently know them say so.
You can speculate and say “well what if?”, but you can do that about anything at any time. It doesn’t suddenly make it any more likely. It’s just wild theory with nothing to hang it on.
saying there are no alien life forms, is also a theory with nothing to hang it on
this is a total grey area, with nothing concrete, except to say what it does that we can see
its VERY strange, and appears and acts unworldly
“the laws of physics as we currently know”
That’s the point I’ve been trying to make. We humans think we know how it all works. I don’t think we do. But it’s all we know and that’s cool. Just don’t think we’re even close to that. We humans still have issues with the color of our skin which is primitive. Forget the whole God thing. That to me has been bizarre for as long as I can remember.
Tim,
I understand that we don’t know everything yet, so aliens might be here. That’s what the point is, some insane technology that we can’t even comprehend changes what we know about science allowing for aliens to be here. It isn’t a complicated thing to speculate wildly about what might exist.
My point is- I may be Dorothy and you may be Toto, and all I have to do is click my heels together 3 times, and we’ll be back in Kansas.
But just because that possibility exists in some theoretical sense, that doesn’t mean it should be the first answer we look to, because it goes completely against everything we know.
I.e. unexplained phenomenon being attributed to aliens goes against all scientific knowledge, therefore it is highly probable that some other answer exists.
If you believe it’s aliens, that’s cool, man. 🙂
Many believe that God created the earth and the universe, and many believe that the big bang happenned
but the idea that God created the earth, and someone else created the universe is a new one for Me, lol
here is a hypothetical for the ones that believe God created the earth and the universe, and only created human life forms.
who are we to identify all of the human life forms? and animals, plants, etc?
its possible we have not seen them all yet, and when we see unexplained mysteries flying around, its because of people, life forms, and technology that we have not been exposed too?
all i can say is there is some sort of sentient life form, that is either flying these craft, or remote controlling them
who manufactures these things? and can we buy one? lol

Screw David’s doge coin…whatever the hell that is. After reading these posts tonight I’m investing everything I got in tin foil!
lol the doge coin will help you afford truckloads of tin foil, lol
may as well go big with the foil, the girls will be impressed
Kong, I believe in a superior alien species/race than I do over some heavenly father God which is so human and man oriented. It’s always a man. The king of kings and the lord of lords. Gee I wonder who came up with that? LOL
I have friends on FB that say who thinks it’s time to bring back prayer into school? I always reply…. well I went to public school like you did and we never prayed in school. That never happened. Are you talking about the Pledge of Allegiance? LOL
Like religious people are always moral. I’m done with that nonsense. Enough already.
Preach, brother, LOL
You and I have always seen eye-to-eye on God and religion. What could be more arrogant than being made in God’s image? lol
We each have our own belief and value systems, and religion can be a great vehicle for instilling those, but people will always be people. I’ve met some highly religious people that were really great people and met some that were really shitty people.
My mother’s side is mostly Catholic, and I spent a few of my younger years going to a Presbyterian church. That was enough for me to decide on another path.
Exactly! Cheers, brother! But that kind of thinking is part of our problem as a country and society. The religious people won’t budge, and this new/old progressive left of society think they know everything while looking as stupid as one could be. It’s not any different. It’s a cult mentality no matter how you view it. My way or the highway.
Oh no, they’re both dictatorships. What do we do now? Yikes!
David,
If the blog had yearbook categories, even before tonight’s conversation, you’d have been my top nomination for “Most likely to have two separate alien visitations recorded on his cellphone”. So there’s that, lol. 😉
lol im In FL , crazy shit happens here
My ribs turned out amazing, along with some baked beans and fresh rolls. I’m in ape heaven right now.
i always wondered, if life is out there, presumably much more intelligent than We are, Why do they keep studying us, lol for humour? look at the earth idiots, LMAO
you can bet your all your fake coins on life on other planets, there maybe other life in our solar system. it’s a mathematical certainty.
i have nothing to argue with You on that subject, thats certainly possible
Timmy,
there are no aliens/probes visiting us and it wasn’t a 3 team trade,
now can we move on?
Tim there was a huge star that exploded and emitted all it’s gas and other elements into space, that gas & elements formed to make our sun and planets.
that’s where we came from, our god has long since exploded.
all we are is star shit.
UFOs and belief in God or any other higher power doesn’t necessarily need to be mutually exclusive. It’s not as if UFOs and evolution are one and the same.
When I have thoughts like this is when I really think this pandemic has gone on long enough and I need to be out more around people. 😂
they say the universe is expanding faster than the speed of light, how do they know this?
Hubble takes pics of galaxy’s over 13b light years away and they seem to disappear, dropping off the edge of visibility, not because they are not there anymore but because they are moving away from us faster than the speed of light.
we are moving ourselves, this solar system moves thru space at 500,000 MPH towards something called the great attractor, we can’t see this attractor because it is on the other side of our galaxy and the dust obscures it. we will be able to see what this is in about 100,000 years give or take, that’s when we will be on the other side of the galaxy.
good stuff ORob. The ‘natural shape’ is “spherical”. While galaxies look ‘flat’ they are actually spherical … we just can’t ‘see’ the dark matter. Interestingly, the multiple universe ideas suggest a ‘universe’ is a sphere that has a central gravitational pull that causes galaxies to orbit it. I love this stuff. 🙂
