If Connor Williams will be a fixture at center, then the alignment I have up top may well be what we see to start the season. Or, perhaps they flip Liam Eichenberg and Austin Jackson, so Eichenberg plays RT with Jackson inside at LG. Or maybe Michael Deiter moves to one of the guard spots. My thought though is if we’re looking for the most athletic players in the outside zone blocking scheme, then these are the 5 players. Everything is fluid though, they haven’t even strapped on pads yet, but there’s no harm in speculating away, since at this point, it’s all we can do.
Connor Williams appears to like playing center though, and he’s far more athletic and capable of getting into second level blocks than his predecessor, Michael Deiter. One thing I can say is this is a BIG O-line. Athletic, but BIG. If it stays as currently constituted, with every linemen at 6’5 or taller, and at the moment, Eichenberg the lone member under 320 pounds. I loved watching Solomon Kindley here, he’s a mauler, but I don’t think he fits the scheme we’re running with now. I suppose he could drop some weight and gain some quickness, but he’s a small area operator for best results, and this offensive line will be all about movement, angles and getting a body on a body just long enough to get him out of the play. That doesn’t mean this O-line won’t be physical, aggressive, but it’s based on lots of motion from most of the line, not just one on one beating the person immediately in front of you, there’s a lot of teamwork.
The good thing from my perspective is no matter who plays where, our depth will be much better. I can’t say it enough times, no reason to give up on the young talented players we drafted in ’20 and ’21 like Austin Jackson and Liam Eichenberg. These guys will be at the very least average NFL starters and with better coaching, more than that. If the line plays out like I put up on top then you have Deiter and Kindley as depth on the interior, and Coleman, Jones and Little on the outside with the possibility of still adding someone after June 1st cuts. I know there will always be some folks who think we didn’t do enough on the O-line, (you know who YOU are), but if you’re one of them, you’re simply discounting the aforementioned young players in Jackson and Eichenberg. These guys have to be given the opportunity to be good NFL players because they should be. Is it possible we pick up a veteran center like J.C. Tretter? Of course. We were extremely “comfortable” with Deiter not too long ago at C, and now it’s Williams. Adding Tretter just adds more talent and another starter and makes the line even better, but not sure if it’s in the cards, or the cap.

So there you have it, the donkies looking more like the Browns every day. There’s always a reason a team wants to trade their franchise QB. Wilson is reportedly looking for a 50m per year contract after this current deal is up after this season

@markkiszla
Broncos Country loves new quarterback Russell Wilson. Would you love him less or demand more at $50 million per year. Your thoughts. Please. And thanks.
Earn it! AFC Championship game would do it.
Not to pile on the Donkies, but what a schmuck you are Elway

Type of unitard I was talking about.
The little bar tender at my corner pub asked me if I had seen her new spiderwoman unitard. I said know and she pulled out her phone to show me. yada yada yada!
*** NO
Bet your spider sense is tingling . . .
That’s quite the unitard
The watermark though…
That isn’t the bar tender. that is just a similar outfit I found on line as an example. If that is your implication.
Rock – we want the bartender pic
LOL, she only showed it to me, she didn’t send it to me. Besides there is no way for me to post any of MY pictures on here. I don’t have facebook, twitter or any other social media accounts that I can upload to that will let me cross post to WordPress.
Did you show her yours
I hate Mike Florio.
🍺
I’m going on record right now, and you can forward this to the FO, if we bring in Lamar Jackson (or Tom Brady) to replace Tua after this season, no matter how Tua plays, I’m not a Dolphins fan ever again.
% chance Naples is a Finsfan in 2023 100
Jackson? Are you shitting me? The Ravens could offer me a straight up trade of Jackson for Tua right now, and I’d say no. I want a QB, not a RB playing QB.
I don’t think Jackson will ever win a SB with anyone as the starting QB. He’s just not a good enough passer. He’ll win a lot of regular season games until his legs start to go, but he’ll continue to lose in the playoffs.

Florio continued,
“I think that at some point the Ravens are going to throw their hands in the air and say, ‘We’ve got to move on.
https://www.thephinsider.com/2022/6/6/23157313/lamar-jackson-to-the-miami-dolphins-mike-florio-of-profootballtalk-thinks-its-a-possibility
I think Florio should take his own advice
beer me!
https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-most-overlooked-teams-entering-2022-nfl-season
Here you go, a little (very little) respect.
If Tagovailoa struggles in 2022, blah, blah, blah
What if Jackson struggles in 2022 or Brady?
What if Josh Allen or more likely Mahomes?
What if Florio and Eisen’s ratings dip?
These headlines, even though they are phrased as questions are just sooo stupid.
“Would Lamar Jackson make the Miami Dolphins an instant Superbowl contender?”
No dumbass! He doesn’t make Baltimore a contender, why would he make Miami one?
I wonder why we haven’t heard anything about Baker Mayfield being traded to the Dolphins……
It makes as much sense as the other BS that talking heads are pushing for clicks.
Florio is a snake.Loathe him and Simms.
Rumor has it that Johnny Manziel is coming out of retirement, could he be the Dolphins new franchise QB?
Or how about Stinky Sanchez, why not Peyton Manning, and let’s throw in Eli
Why are these any stupider, than what Florio is spewing?
Florio is an April fool waiting for a new day
I saw on Florio’s show yesterday, he leaned to the side, the look on Simms face was that of a disgusting smell, think he crapped his pants
Florio had the same look as Simms, wait that was just his normal look
I think the chances are higher for Simms to start at QB for Miami next year than Tua
With all the speculation out there about Tua he’s listed his house for sale
Russell Wilson recently traded to the donkies is in the last year of his contract, and is believed to be asking for 50m per year avg salary
Tomorrow’s news will be Russ to Miami…if Tua doesn’t throw 800 tds this year he’ll be a bust
rotfl
Steve is on a roll.
Lil Simmy is an embarrassment to his father.

Coach opines about UDFAs and the transition those players have from college to pro. Mentions RBs can be an easier transition since the rule is the same, don’t get tackled, and mentions Za’Quandre White, who he calls Dr. White.

Coach says he doesn’t necessarily view himself as the “positive coach.”
I want players’ sole focus to be getting better at the craft and being the best player they can be, he says. If you’re able to be yourself, that’s one less thing you’re NOT thinking about.

Coach on Tua in the red zone and tight windows – tighter areas only enhance his ability. He’s an accurate QB who knows how to place the ball where he wants it to be placed.

Coach discussed assessing where the offense is and I thought this quote really stood out:
“Is everyone at the same starting point? Are they taking calculus courses while we’re taking algebra.”
Talked about how refined this defense has been while the offense is working anew.

Coach says his message to the team is that the team is their’s, as in belonging to the player’s. He says the result of that is that the team is a collection of young hungry individuals.

Coach compares the offseason program, and the way the Dolphins staff and players have attacked it, to the first quarter of a game and that he feels they have a first quarter lead with the way they’ve put in the work.
My wife and I now have a Saturday habit of pulling up our NFL account and watching McDaniel’s pressers from the previous week. We love watching this guy talk, how he answers questions, and the way he views football.
The Kong household has bought in and we are 100% on board with the McDaniel way.
What he says is good, but I think he stumbles all over himself
He doesn’t even remotely stumble all over himself. He just says um a lot.
I guess that’s just semantics. I think he gives considered answers to all questions and he rarely speaks by rote, so the way I see it is he isn’t stumbling over himself, he is speaking in a considered fashion, he just needs to learn to hold in his ‘ums’ lol.
:::;;;;;;;;;;
Guess he’s not available
we have TWO of the top 10
When a QB has a long game, but isn’t real accurate with ball placement he’ll get lots of yards, and fewer tds than he should
Tua can play the same game in the redzone as the rest of the field
Good short game and accuracy = consistency and why we won 8 of last 9
OH NO! An interception! DOOMED!
I’m happy for Duke Riley!!
I think he works his tail off, and he’s made progress.
If he gives us quality minutes, that would be awesome.
He blocked a punt for a TD last year!!
Kong – sounds like you’re almost as IN as the Dolphins are for this season
He’s coming to the Fest isn’t he? And here is how he made it happen:
“My wife and I now have a Saturday habit of pulling up our NFL account and watching McDaniel’s pressers,” Guess McDaniel is a young George Clooney. 🙂
Coming to the Fest isn’t the only indicator of true Dolphins Fandom or being “IN”, but I get your point
I was more impressed that his wife watches the pressers. Sounds like from the Darlene/Herd mode. MA won’t even go to the games now that doesn’t include a trip to FLA.
Miami in October and Hawaii in December- life is good.
Dare I say “all’? lol
Every Sunday morning during the season on the local station they used to have a 1/2 hour segment called “The coach Adam Gase Show” and then “the Brian Flores Show” at 10:30am.
I am REALLY hoping the continue it with the Mike McDaniel show!
Just saw the Coach McDaniel presser. I absolutely love what he has to say every time he’s put in front of the mic, but (just IMO) he’s very painful to listen to with all of his ‘umms’ and his “considered answers” (<- props to CavKong for a good term).
Don't get it twisted, I LUV this guy! His approach to the game as HC is refreshing, REAL, preaching personal accountability, and truly down to Earth. It would seem he's bringing the FUN back to football FUNdamentals and the players are buying in.
You and Steve aren’t invited to Skull Island…
LOL!
lol 😉
…the invite is always open for either of you passing through Sacto though
His delivery ain’t too smooth but the content is brilliant and at times sarcastically funny.
+10000000000000000, Stanger!
Substance > Delivery
I really do LUV this guy!
Ima gonna set the over/under on 10 sacks this season. Who’s taking?
I’ll take the over. I think he is a 10-12 sack guy this year
NICE!
Boyer needs to watch that clip, especially the play where Helter Skelter comes flying in, then someone just as fast delays and comes up behind him
I want to see Tindall come up behind this year

Thanks, Bro! BTW, I’m listening to E-40 in the background as I type.
Cheers!
This one here, which is a tweaking of E-40’s “Da Bumble” from ’95, feat Keak…
full video
Man, he made Eric Fisher have a bad day when we played the colts! LOL
It seems like McDaniel is umming because he is literally saying most of these things for the first time, being a first time HC and all. Plus, instead of just going with “well you wanna give 110%” cliches, he is actually answering the dang questions!!
This is dangerous territory. Being real makes one vulnerable.
So you can see the fast thinking he does so he A) does not give away his playbook or player evals
and
B) does not give any team (or Clickbaiter) bulletin board material.
But yet still answer the questions.
I couldn’t have said it better, my friend. I wasn’t trying to knock Coach McDaniel, just stating that he’s sometimes very difficult to listen to. We realize that he’s not trying to give away too much, he’s a first-time HC, and that he’s thinking on his feet/on the fly.
Again, I LUV this guy!!! 🙂
^
Also McDaniel is a refreshing and inspirational combination of naturally wise and naturally cool.
… …
Has anybody seen those Ted Lasso TV shows?
You know how he does the press conferences where he responds to snarky or entrapping questions by being lovable or deep or “your best bud” and cool?
That’s what Mike McDaniel is doing only for real with no do overs.
Ted Lasso ROCKS!!! One of my faves out there right now!
This was the next video in the queue. Christian Wilkins ever snap.
NICE!
Wow I just watched that Jaelan Phillips vid above.
3 things jumped out at me.
1) He made a lot of rookie mistakes. He made a mistake on almost every play. But his athletic ability often allowed him to recover from the mistake and still make a play.
2) Christian Wilkins is a beast and very disruptive to the OL.
3) On many plays there were multiple Dolphins players converging on the QB or RB. Many times the QB had that “Oh shit” look as there was a stampede of our players coming at him from every direction.
4) Often when Phillips landed his punch, the OL literally got knocked backwards. These guys were usually 50-60 pounds heavier than Jaelan and still got lifted up on their toes or rocked back on their heels.
5) After jolting a Big Ugly, Phillips reset his feet so fast he was still able to run down people 5 – 15 yards away, including some fast guys like Lamar.
6) He’s just barely figured out there’s a ball out there. You could see him start to realize that he could take it away, slap it away, bat it down etc. This season I expect to see him start to anticipate, and he should get Sack/Fumbles and an INT or 2. And with his footspeed, those could be Pick 6s.
LOL – Omar replied to this tweet “It was a pick six”
What a Douche!
LOL — the orangutan just wants some love.
The first season of Ted Lasso was some of the best TV I have ever seen.
The second season was great, but that first season rocked every single minute of every episode.

Question for the board. Lots of Baseball and Hockey talk…. but why not basketball? Guess bring up cause the NBA finals are going on and my Celts in it, but still seems the red-haired step child of sports in these parts.
For me? I gave up on the NBA after my Sacramento Kings got rigged against the LA Lakers in the ’02 Western Conference Finals. I mean, it was SO rigged that I gave up.
I still have my Sacramento Kings Chris Webber #4 jersey and a 9″ painted porcelain statue of Webber to show for my true fandom of that team.
Webber, Peja, Bibby, Vlade, Christie, and Hedo… that was my TEAM!!!
And seriously, I still have my Chris Webber Washington BULLETS jersey, #2.
That’s a lot more specific answer than was expecting, but a good one. Didn’t see that series but if it was that rigged can understand. Hard to give up on a whole sport though.

I hear ya, Stanger. But in my case, I realized the whole thing was rigged to a “T”. Then when the whole Tim Donaghy case went public, I wasn’t surprised in the least.
Basketball sucks
I enjoy it more than hockey at least, but to each their own. And seems you are in a very strong majority here.
I tried to make my response as succinct as possible
BTW Baseball sucks too, maybe even more than basketball.
Never liked basketball.. even in Jr Highgym , grabbed the ball outta someone’s hands and got told that was a penalty.. said gimme the whistle if that is a rule this game is dumb
#1 – Dolphins football
#2- Panthers Hockey
#3 – Women’s Biathlon
I can watch hot Scandinavian chicks in spandex ski uphill and shoot guns all day.

Nice👍
I loved to play basketball, but i can’t watch it anymore. It just seems like same ol same ol .
Scoring a goal in NHL level Hockey just seems like blind luck.
Swam in the Great Salt Lake once…. had to try hard to even get under water. You could just lie on your back and bob. Guessing even a higher salt content and harder to go under now.
———————–
“Last summer, the water level in the Great Salt Lake reached its lowest point on record, and it’s likely to fall further this year. The lake’s surface area, which covered about 3,300 square miles in the late 1980s, has since shrunk to less than 1,000.”
Not much of a basketball fan either. I do like hockey though.
CFL kicks off this week .. Bombers are 2 time defending champs for three years .. 2020 season was cancelled due to Covid ..
I can watch CFL if Bombers are playing only .. anyone else it’s like watching a bears /Browns game … no interest..
However , LOL if Bears Browns was only game on a Sunday or God SAVE US , a Monday night game I’d Likely watch for a bit anyway …
Congrats!
WTF!
Somebody fix the spam filter!
I didn’t look at that all time list up above but let me say this, if Bill Stanfill and Manny Fernandez aren’t starters then the list is wrong. Csonka goes without saying. Or burn the list.
It’s difficult to do all-time teams because there were different eras.
In Ogbah’s PC he said Phillips is bigger, stronger and faster. That’s scary. I really think he has a huge upside.
THE LIGHTNING lead New York 2-0 after two somewhat boring periods of hockey in Amalie Arena.
Of course the usual sell-out crowd of more than 19,200 fans dwarfs the pitiful turnout for the second place (IN the A.L. East) Tampa Bay Rays. TWO of the THREE local stations having a sports segment on tonight’s 6:00 O’Clock news didn’t even MENTION that the Rays were playing here in town tonight according to a neighbor of ours. It’s all-hockey all the time in this hockey crazy city!!
———
BOLTS are one period away from their goal of evening the series at 2 wins apiece in this best of seven series. This Rangers team is an energetic and explosive young team capable of erupting at any point of the contest. But, tonight, the Bolts have played a near-perfect defensive game giving up ZERO odd-man rushes this entire contest (VS. 5 odd-man rushes allowed by the Rangers tonight—two of which produced goals for the home team).
——–
This game and this series both have a different feel to them right now. And it’s working to Tampa Bay’s advantage.
JUST OVER 4 minutes left in this contest and the Lightning have expanded their lead to 3-0 on a goal by Steven Stamkos. This game is safely in the bag. Great Grandpa has to walk the Greyhound and hit the sack.

Next game is Thursday Night at Madison Square Garden. Hey STEVE CCNV; I AGREE with your opinion that a long layoff for the AVS could be just what the Dr. ordered to enhance the chances of the Eastern Division winner.

This series looks like it’s going seven games!!
I want a game 7 they are the best.
This is going to get bad if I have to start typing everything out!
Sonny – The list you didn’t look at above . . .
Let’s just leave it at this, he named Tim Ruddy the best C because his face reminds him of Marino. He says Jim Langer and Dwight Stephenson had great careers, but recency wins again. Dwight Stephenson may have been the best C that ever played the game.
I missed out on the blog last night. Had to catch up on “Secret of Skinwalker Ranch”. Crazy shit going on at that place.
Anyway, I am a long time Chicago Bulls fan going back to the Artis Gilmore days. Though was also a Dr. J fan and rooted for Philly when they won it all back when they had Bobby Jones (great defensive player), Maurice Cheeks and Moses Malone.
Haven’t watched much NBA at all in the last decade. To many virtue signaling hypocrites. They stand up and bitch about stuff in this country and turn a blind eye to China’s genocide while kissing China’s ass. They have probably lost me for good.
I still watch college ball but not as much either.
Wow, inflation! Stephen Ross paid 1.1 Billion for the Dolphins in 2008 / 2009. The Walton family is going to buy the Donkeys for $4.65 billion
Can you find a “Gem” in the 2nd round? If so we found one.

If not, then I say he exceeds expectations at the least. Grier had done a good job finding DB’s in the second round. (Howard, Holland) Wish he first round picks were as good!
And they gave us shit for taking Holland as the first S off the board, even though he fit our D perfectly
I like the Aqua one!

NFL Betting 2022: Why you should bet under 9 wins for the Miami Dolphins
https://www.pff.com/news/bet-2022-nfl-betting-under-9-wins-miami-dolphins
RRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Just some tool using another tool to justify what he wants to say, it’s written all over the stats he provided
It is very much like he came up with the hypothesis and then searched for the evidence to support that hypothesis
plus he threw in comments like “After their tank job” which we never tanked.
For the NBA I’ll watch for 5 minutes from time to time, they last me between blm bs and the style of play and the fixed way games are called
As for the Kings vs Lakers series it was fixed, just like they fix every league these days including the NFL, Cheats getting every call for years was designed, Tampa being the TV rating king 2 years ago was setup to win the SB, the Rams last year were given the scheduling advantage Buffalo has this year, plus a few calls against SF and Cin, that changed those games
It’s no surprise to me how many nba and nhl series have gone 7 games, because of the officiating advantage they give
2 plays in nhl playoffs this year, that weren’t overturned by replay seemed to be called however they felt
Back to kings lakers, that series was bad as it gets, I remember pissed like never before with all the calls going the kings way earlier in the series and earlier in the famous cheat game, so when the lakers got some calls late, it was like about time
Did the officiating change who would’ve won? Who knows, but they sure gave some major advantaged to both teams
The NBA ref Donahue mentioned in his interview how the leagues fixed games, before every playoff game they were briefed on how to officiate it, based on that he knew who was going to win, that’s why he bet, he had great odds on outcome
Spin it however you want, but only one team was actually straight up given a win at the end of what would have been a series losing game.
So bad and so clearly obvious that every single person watching called foul, and was later confirmed by Donahue.
Only a Laker fan can quibble about anything else that happened that series. If it wasn’t for game 6 of that series, then that NBA playoff year isn’t synonymous with league cheating and manipulation, and is only known for the Kings winning the title.
But the league got their game 7, the Kings choked bad in that game, and I haven’t watched basketball since.
You can spin it as you will, and start with the end of game 6 and not what took place earlier in that game and others in the series
I agree the end of game 6 was poorly officiated, but I’ve seen many other series since go the same way, with giving teams wins, they just didn’t make up for it with blatant bad calls at the end
Last night Lughtning score, didn’t have the sound on, so didn’t hear what was said, but Ranger goalie clearly had the puck under his right leg pad and moved that leg to back of the goal, they somehow ruled no goal
Colorado defender Makar takes a puck into O zone before teammate left the zone, they said it was a bs delayed offside, because he didn’t control the puck across the blue line until after teammate left zone, which isn’t the way that’s called, when a skater has relative control of puck skating in backwards, they can’t call it both ways
Point is you picked out an important, but Homer part of that series, where it didn’t go right for your team, and didn’t mention/notice the times your team benefitted to win other games in the series
Anybody can claim calls didn’t go their way in any game or series, and homer fans that lose will always do that. That is standard sports fare.
What isn’t standard is game 6 of the 2002 nba western conference finals that was so blatant it’s the gold standard reference for ref manipulation.
The Kings were one bad luck play from going up 3-1 in the series. The opportunity was lucky, not Horry’s shot, I give him credit for nailing it, but if Vlad tips it any other direction it’s 3-1 Kings going back to Sacramento.
We still did enough to beat the Lakers in 6. The end. Everyone but a homer Lakers fan will say the same thing.
Your first sentence is correct, but I guess it doesn’t apply to you
Back in those days they’d make a bad call, someone would bitch about it and the next play was a makeup call
Game 6 had plenty of makeup calls in it, but Game 7s usually don’t, so once everything leveled out the Kings couldn’t match up and wilted like the doormats they’ve always been
Nothing you can say will make me think the Kings should’ve won that series, they weren’t the better team and they didn’t play well enough to win
Even so sometimes luck isn’t on your side, it wasn’t in that series
No the first sentence doesn’t apply to me in this case because I have actual proof, not cry baby stuff.
The ref came out and admitted the refs stole game 6. The world saw it and cried foul right after it happened and it’s still talked about 20 years later. You’ve even said it yourself…even though you are now trying to change some of the story in game 6 with “oh the calls went the Kings way earlier in the game”, smh.
The Kings had it to the point the refs had to be obvious about it. That says it ALL.
I don’t have to ‘spin’ any other game of the series because I know we won the games we won and lost the games we lost. You are the one that has to spin it with nebulous ‘bad calls the rest of the series’ BS. You’re a spoiled Laker fan that feels your team was the best and every call you didn’t get was a bad call.
The Kings wilted in game 7. I can and have admitted that. I think the game 6 theft took away their spirit, but we still should have taken it. Doesn’t change the fact game 6 was stolen, everyone saw it, not just homer Kings fans, which is all you have your claims.
And what is this -Kings couldn’t match up in game 7 once they stopped with the makeup calls- nonsense? Makes me think you didn’t even watch the game.
We missed FT after FT in the 4th quarter and still only lost by 6 with that margin coming in the last minute. We were one of the best FT shooting teams in the league and shot barely over 50% in that game and had something like 18 missed FTs with most of those misses in the 4th.
We lost game 7 because we choked, not because we couldn’t match up.
fucking OT in game 7 no less. couldn’t match up, smh
Lol, your conspiracy is better than mine, because other people said as much
No one is going to say what I said, because the lakers won, it’s only said in rebuttal
Right out of the Donghy story is this nugget kings fans don’t seem to want to admit
Usually forgotten, at least outside of Los Angeles, is how the Lakers were just as adamant at being wronged by late calls in what became a 92-91 Kings victory in Game 5 that gave Sacramento a 3-2 series edge.
You only have to watch the last 3 minutes of any basketball game. The rest is meaningless.
Pretty much for 80% of them, so why sit thru the other 45 minutes of aggravation, while the officiating crew watches as the traveling Euro step is performed?
In Europe they allow 2 steps, so the Euro step is legal, in the NBA its 1 1/2 steps, so it’s illegal, but they never once call it
Seems the last week of OTAs is watered down with guys not showing up
yeah, it’s all voluntary, but this weeks attendance is week. I don’t know how the played 11 on 11 yesterday with no TE’s showing up.
**weak
Interesting!
It’s going to be interesting to see how the Mayfield situation plays out. I’ll be surprised if Watson plays this year, so they need someone at QB.
Wow on Watson #24
some of his ejaculate got on Plaintiff’s chest and face.

Believe spraying someone with jizz is a felony…but may not be a sexual assault, depending on state

After #24 I think Watson won’t be playing this year, Brown’s will have to sue him to void the contract as he may never, and shouldn’t, play again
Big Rap was accused of, well Rape and paid off his victim, got an NDA and only was suspended for 6 games.
My bet as of right now is he will get a 6 week suspension, will appeal and have it reduced to 4 games once the furor settles down.
No way, we don’t live in those times any longer
Wonder if #24 brings on new criminal charges, didn’t pay attention to what state it happened in or what that states laws are, but if it is one that makes that a sexual offense he’s likely done
It happened in Houston and Texas doesn’t have that in the law as being a sexual offense
lol @ spraying someone with jizz
Oh what a time we live in!
No big deal he’s a conservative, there’s no laws against what was done for that reason
what’s the problem? He should be allowed to carry his gun….
It probably started when he called the police and said he was thinking of killing someone?
Maybe that should be ok too????

“a facetious remark”
I am still so angry about that damned series and that fucking discussion, I’m ready to fight right now.
(Not making internet threats, Steve, I’m not that kind of ass, just expressing my mood, lol)
And that, Stanger, is why I don’t watch or talk about basketball 😆
LOL — it was twenty years ago. 🙂
Facetious is the sound made when ejaculated on the chest and face
No that sound is one that’s similar to making the schmuck face (sticking your lips out), then ]unlink them in quickly, while slightly separating them
What I can’t figure out if she was not into that why was she that close?
Or maybe Watson IS an expert a “throwing” a deep ball?????? 😉
I get that thought too with all of them, but it doesn’t make what he did ok, just goes to show you at the time they may not have been distraught as they lead on
I have read this same argument on twitter. I can only speak for myself but when I was 22 I could shoot a load across the fucking room.
I knew a guy the gals nicknamed ‘shooter’ for similar reasons, lol. Let me just be clear, I have no first hand knowledge, I only found out because I asked one of the gals at a party why they were calling him shooter, lol.
Steve, mine isn’t a conspiracy. The ref admitted it. Remember? It’s fact.
The Lakers shot 27 FTs IN THE 4TH QUARTER of game 6. They only made like one actual basket in like the last 7 minutes of the game (or something like that).
I’ve got all sorts of shit to back up my point of view.
You’re such a homer, you said the Kings couldn’t match up in game 7, a game that went OT and a game the Kings would have won handily if they hadn’t choked their FTs in the 4th.
Here’s an LA Times article talking about how the Kings EASILY could have won all 3 games in LA. They dominated game 3 and really should have won game 4. That’s an LA article, not a Sacto.
https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-jun-03-sp-adande03-story.html
“This series, the Kings easily could have won all three games played at Staples Center. They dominated Game 3, came within a Robert Horry three-point basket in the last second of winning Game 4 and hung in Game 6 until the last minute despite some seriously home-cooked calls for the Lakers.”
But again, you’re such a homer, the Kings couldn’t match up, smh.
Lol
You’re lucky we’re not face to face or I’d buy you a beer and argue some more
You’re one of a kind, wish I was more like you
One of our old posters had some nice things to say about you Cav, in the context of what we were talking about, he went out of his way to give you praise and one of the reasons why I wrote the first paragraph/sentence
I’m not sure how to take that, so I’m going to take it at face value, LOL.
Yes as a compliment
Cheers 🙂
Kinda bummed I missed the opportunity to meet you at the fest by a year, but hopefully this won’t be a one time thing for me and the wife and we’ll catch you next time.
This made me LOL
LOL, I was so focused on the Lakers Kings, I didn’t even read anything else and only just caught up on the Watson stuff

Man she just says one dumb thing after another.
Joy Behar Says Gun Laws Will Definitely Change ‘Once Black People Get Guns in This Country’
I know what she’s trying to say, but it didn’t seem to come across to most people the right way
She doesn’t ever deal in factual statements, she rather works off of an agenda, just a puppet
Not sure what coming off the right way means. Many black people have guns in this country.
What she’s saying is, if black people were the owners of legal guns in proportion to what white people currently are, white people would be all into gun control
Why she’s an idiot is, because black people do have guns, so she’s insinuating they’re mostly illegal
A racist statement from both sides
Oh okay. Lots of white liberals put their foot in their mouth when discussing race. Joe Biden has done it for years.
That’s The View, right?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a publicized ‘opinion’ from that show that I’ve agreed with, lol.
It’s Yentaville usually with 3 liberals and one conservative for balance. LOL
Just look at her face and you can tell what kind of a person she is, similar face to Florio
She’s defensive with everything, because she knows she’s full of shit and so does everyone else

From MH’s Daniel Oyefusi (who hadn’t heard of before) Dolphins’ stock report. He says he can’t really talk about who is getting starting reps or not…. but could have fooled me.
————————————
Falling
▪ Michael Deiter: The Dolphins didn’t select a center in the draft and didn’t sign a veteran, keeping Deiter as the apparent front-runner for the starting spot. However, new signee Connor Williams confirmed the team plans to play him at center despite primarily playing left guard with the Dallas Cowboys. While the Dolphins media policy prohibits reporters from stating where players are lining up and whether it’s with the first team, second team, etc., the Miami Herald has previously reported that the expectation is Liam Eichenberg will start at left guard while Austin Jackson is expected to play right tackle. Dolphins coaches have already said Armstead will be the left tackle, so one can connect the pieces and see where that leaves Deiter. A 2019 third-round pick, Deiter is still likely to make the roster and provides positional versatility. But he faces an uphill battle to retain his role from 2021.

That’s nothing new that Williams has been playing Center. That’s been reported for weeks.
Of course it is not new. We’ve talked about it a bunch.
Oh okay thought you were posting it as something new.
Nope. Just further back-up on the situation. Eich at LG hasn’t been seen as much though. But have a feeling all the dominoes on this could change is Williams says, “nope LG for me after all.”
It’s not his decision. I’m sure when he signed with us he was told you’ll be in the mix as a starter but not sure what position. He worked at Center in TC with the Cowboys a few years so it’s not foreign to him.
Not his decision at all. But assume neither was shifting to C, which he broke the news of.
Alright Kong… Steve, no bonding on the blog.
Hey, anybody know of a big black guy with one eye?
I mean, not one eye exactly, but one eye is sorta wrong.
I mean, he’s an actor.
In a transgender movie.
OK disclaimer here.
I just had an MRI.
And for the injury, they gave me some drugs. Bottle said caution, alcoholic drinks may enhance effects, do not dive. So soon as I got home, I had my wife make me a double margarita.
Hope all is good, Naples

I think the reason they’re looking at Williams at Center is because he’s a more proven starter with 51 starts, Center is a more important position and he’s a better athlete than Dieter. In our system the center has to be able to get out to the 2nd level and block LBs and DBs. We’ll see if that’s how it stays. Deiter is a versatile backup if he can’t land a starting job.
Oh My

So just ignore anything KI type tonight.
was trying to remember this really good actor from a movie, but I can’t get either his name or the movie to come to mind.
I think Rock got it with Forest Whitiker.
He was great in ‘The Last King of Scotland’.

Yes that’s the movie where you cry, and then cry again. 😉
