  - Yeah. I like that roll of the dice -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 26, 18:02 1

- A year learning under Mark Sanchez will do him g... - Will Hunting Apr 26, 17:38 4

    - "Hey Geno, what jersey number are you going to wear? ...no reason." -- nm - Rex Ryan Apr 26, 18:06
    - I would be surprised if the cut Sanchez now. But the odds he is there next year is about the same as me being there. - Will Hunting Apr 26, 18:04
  - Well Geno has so many weapons around him that he can only succeed with their talents helping him - Bacon Apr 26, 17:39

Big 10 round. -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 16:43 4
- see? -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 16:45 3
  - Well since the first round was the SEC round, this only makes sense. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 26, 17:34 2
    - Exactly. - Spawn Apr 26, 17:39 1
      - I don't know if its a down draft as much as a supremely unsexy draft. - Will Hunting Apr 26, 17:42
The draft is at Radio City? -- nm - ty97 Apr 26, 16:41 5
- every year -- nm - CQ Apr 26, 16:45 2
  - huh. For some reason I thought it rotated *and* I thought it was at MSG last year. Doubly wrong. -- nm - ty97 Apr 26, 16:50 1
    - it had been at a hotel for a long time before they supersized it to make it an event -- nm - charlie Apr 26, 16:51

- Isn't it always? -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 16:43
Just got home and see the Niners traded 2.2 What picks did we get for that? -- nm - Bacon Apr 26, 16:38 27
- I was about to answer but then I saw you were being a punk about QBs again. -- nm - David Apr 26, 16:59 17
  - Ryan, Wilson, Kaepernick, Brees, Rodgers, Brady, Manning, Luck, RG3, all not punk worthy by me. - Bacon Apr 26, 17:02 16
    - I don't like Rivers. You don't like QBs. -- nm - David Apr 26, 17:05 15
      - I just posted (off the top of my head) a nice list of QBs I like. I don't like crappy QBs or head case QBs. Gino Smith falls into the latter - Bacon Apr 26, 17:07 14
        
        Eh, he'll grow some hair on his balls any day now. -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 17:12

        Well, this is interesting indead. They were still killing him on radio today. -- nm - Bacon Apr 26, 17:19 7
        
        Of course. It's a better story if he's petulant whether it's true or not. -- nm - David Apr 26, 17:24 1
        
        Well that was the information I had last so that is what I was basing my oppinion on. - Bacon Apr 26, 17:26
        
        here's a USA today story that mentions him congratulating ej manuel, the 16th pick. nm but: -- (link) - b. Apr 26, 17:21 4
        
        That's good to hear. It really is. - Bacon Apr 26, 17:24 2
        
        I know, right? just in going to find those, I saw lots of messages from today re: his being a brat, etc. so many people didn't bother to look more. -- nm - b. Apr 26, 17:26 1

- You got Alex Smith back. -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 16:43 8
  - I'm torn. - b. Apr 26, 16:49 7
    - Just a quickie question. Potential? isn't that a word used for a first or second year player? -- nm - Bacon Apr 26, 16:51 2
      - no, it is not only used for those players. someone has to be allowed to play to achieve. -- nm - b. Apr 26, 16:57 1
        
        Okay, just checking. -- nm - Bacon Apr 26, 17:00

  - " A natural athlete, Jenkins competed in track and field, ice hockey, and basketball in his school years, lettering five times." -- (link) - tl Apr 26, 18:00
the problem with the redditt thing is that it was a witch hunt it read inevitable for them to look until they found someone that fit their expectation - zork Apr 26, 16:33 1

I just laughed so hard at something on reddit that a piece of peanut came out my nose. - amanda Apr 26, 16:33 [Image]

- When I watched FSU, I felt like the difference between Werner and him was dramatic. - David Apr 26, 16:18
so wait, if the Chargers dont take Te'o, does that mean the Jets would have? or did they have their eyes on Geno? -- nm - Jovian Apr 26, 16:14 2
- The Chargers didn't want to take the chance, but I believe the Jets were locked on Geno Smith. - David Apr 26, 16:16
- sounds like the Jets were in the market for a qb -- nm - charlie Apr 26, 16:15
In other news, Hannibal only pulled a 1.0 last night. Its renewal chances just went from bad to almost non-existant. - Jovian Apr 26, 16:12 6
- It is just too arrogant. -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 16:57
- I thought it was already renewed, after it's second episode -- nm - Flavorize w/fava beans Apr 26, 16:27 4
  - I thought this too, but can't find verification. It was certainly labeled "certain to be renewed" just a few days ago. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 26, 16:32 3
    - iirc, that was when its ratings increased from its premiere to its second ep. now, with that drop, who knows. (I don't watch it - I'm just nbc- - b. Apr 26, 16:54
    - maybe renewed but with fewer episodes -- nm - zork Apr 26, 16:37 1
