  - Bradford will count double-digit millions against their cap whether traded or not. -- nm - ML Apr 20, 11:33 3

- Nope. I used up my one return years ago. I lost a wallet and it was returned within an hour. It was awesome and so unexpected. - Krusty Andromedon Apr 20, 11:17 3
  - were you in Central Park or outside Manhattan? -- nm - dj fingerblast Apr 20, 11:18 2
    - Park Slope -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 20, 11:18 1

Ugh. Not only is Trump in town, he brought his little dog, too. - Spawn Apr 20, 11:03 1
- Just swat Lewandowski on the nose with a newspaper. It's not like it's battery or anything. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 20, 11:09
Grichuk looked like another 15 that patrolled CF for the Cards on that play. - iSpam Apr 20, 10:55 12
- Wait what? Was this posted? nm - Jim Apr 20, 11:04 6
  - I'm at the game but I'd imagine MLB will have it. -- nm - iSpam Apr 20, 11:13 5
    - Oh cool! I'll look for the highlight later then. Enjoy! -- nm - Jim Apr 20, 11:14 4
      - I had a class this morning and now in a box thanks to our accounting firm. - iSpam Apr 20, 11:17 3
        
        Don't take this the wrong way, but...you suck! :) -- nm - Jim Apr 20, 11:19 2
        
        Says the guy going to the Blues game ... -- nm - iSpam Apr 20, 11:31 1
        
        Yeah, I'll be there and stuff...but I'll still have to watch on TV. We can get tossed for looking in the bowl. - Jim Apr 20, 11:36
- This is where I point out Anaheim drafted him before they took Trout. - David Apr 20, 10:58 4
  - Have you decided who you want the Braves to draft in June? -- nm - Strongbad Apr 20, 11:09 1
    - We're apparently drafting a college bat. That sounds like Corey Ray. - David Apr 20, 11:18
  - That's going to be a great trivia question one day; that Trout was passed by like 24 teams including his own. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 20, 11:08
  - PPDM -- nm - groiny Apr 20, 11:07
Eagles have moved up to #2 in the draft -- (link) - ML Apr 20, 10:47 59
- So, the Eagles now pick #2, #79, #153, #164, #188, #233, and #251. - David Apr 20, 10:58 23
  - they're already committed to $34 million with their present QBs, and now just committed major assets to the position - ML Apr 20, 11:03 17
    - Any chance they're moving up for Tunsil? -- nm - Inigo Apr 20, 11:08 6
      - If they gave up that much for an OT, they should have their drafting privileges revoked. -- nm - David Apr 20, 11:10 4
        
        Anymore so than moving up to draft one of two QBs while having an insane amount of money already invested in two other QBs? -- nm - Inigo Apr 20, 11:13 3
        
        From an economic perspective, LT is now the most overvalued position in the NFL. - David Apr 20, 11:20 2
        
        It's why you see guys like Okung and Clady moved - it's just not as important as solid line play across all 5 positions now. -- nm - Jim Apr 20, 11:21 1
        
        Exactly. The cap should be spread much more evenly than for the LT to hog everything. - David Apr 20, 11:24
      - I don't think you move that level of assets for an OL, no matter how good Tunsil might be. - ML Apr 20, 11:09
    - The Chase Daniel thing is absolutely maddening now. -- nm - David Apr 20, 11:05 8
      - The Daniel and Bradford deals combine for an average salary more than any single QB in the NFL. -- nm - ML Apr 20, 11:05
      - Yes it is, says the Mizzou fan who's favorite NFL team needs a QB. -- nm - Jim Apr 20, 11:05 6
        
        I'm first in line to say that you keep trying until you have a QB, and even I think this is beyond the pale. - David Apr 20, 11:12 1
        
        I love me some Chase and would rather have had him on my roster than Butt Fumble. -- nm - Jim Apr 20, 11:24
        
        You can have the Bradford -- nm - decline Apr 20, 11:08 3
        
        He's going to have made like $100mil over his career and only one time been in the top half of the league at his position (and even then only 10 games - Will Hunting Apr 20, 11:11 2
        
        He's in the Trent Green/Chris Chandler grouping for me. I know he can play, but fate is not his friend. - David Apr 20, 11:13 1
        
        I don't even know if he can play; he's only played in the most conservative passing attacks possible - Will Hunting Apr 20, 11:14
    - FML -- nm - decline Apr 20, 11:04
  - And Cleveland now picks at: #8, #65, #77, #99, #100, #138, #141, #172, #173, #176, and #223. - David Apr 20, 11:03 4
    - Will they have enough cap room for all those picks? At some point, can't you have more picks than you can realistically sign? -- nm - Jim Apr 20, 11:05 3
      - Anything after the first two rounds is dirt cheap. The #65 pick last year had a cap number of $568,388. - David Apr 20, 11:08 2
        
        It's why Seattle's been so strong the last few years; all their UDFA's and getting guys like Sherman in teh 5th. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 20, 11:12 1
        
        Right. They send out letters to UDFAs stressing how much more likely players are to make the Seahawks than other teams. - David Apr 20, 11:15
- "Trust me, I saw this work in a movie." -- nm - Max Apr 20, 10:55
- I hope they either like both QBs, or have an agreement in writing with the Rams on which QB the Rams will choose. -- nm* - Inigo Apr 20, 10:51 2
  - Watch them not draft a QB. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 20, 10:55 1
    - The winner in this is SD, who now gets their pick of position players (or they get a mega offer to deal down). -- nm - David Apr 20, 10:59
- That seems like an insane amount to move up 7 spots to not even be sure who you are taking. -- nm - volnelk Apr 20, 10:51 3
  - TBF they traded the picks to Cleveland. -- nm - iSpam Apr 20, 10:52 2
    - Kevin Costner's gonna turn this into the #1 overall -- nm - ML Apr 20, 10:53 1
      - He's gonna need another 2nd rounder somewhere though. -- nm - iSpam Apr 20, 10:57
- Oof. How many of these types of trades have ever worked out for the team giving up all the picks? -- nm - rollo Apr 20, 10:51 10
  - Not the Ryan Leaf one. - Spawn Apr 20, 10:57 1
    - The moral of the story: only an idiot deals Eric Metcalf. -- nm - David Apr 20, 10:59
  - Eli and Flacco since 2000. -- (link) - Inigo Apr 20, 10:54
  - Julio Jones is the only one I can think of that really worked out well -- nm - ML Apr 20, 10:53 3
    - does the Eli trade count? -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 10:53 2
      - Absolutely. -- nm - David Apr 20, 11:09
      - Depends on which person you ask, where there is very clearly a correct answer. - Shaun Apr 20, 10:58
  - worked well for us... -- nm - Washington Apr 20, 10:52 2
    - As I posted above, Chargers were very close. Up to #2 to get whichever QB the Colts passed on. -- nm - Spawn Apr 20, 11:00
    - Also among the losers: Minny (Herscel Walker), New Orleans (Ricky Williams) -- nm - rollo Apr 20, 10:54
- great trade for Cleveland...lets see how they screw it up -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 10:50 5
  - so this makes RG3 the Browns starting QB doesn't it? -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 10:53 4
    - Probably. Heard an analyst say it didn't make sense to have RG3 and draft a qb. Suggested they may trade out of 2 and then....... - volnelk Apr 20, 10:56 2
      - But it doesn't make sense to run RG3 out there to get killed either. - Will Hunting Apr 20, 11:17 1
        
        Cleveland. Browns. -- nm - Shaun Apr 20, 11:21
    - yup -- nm - decline Apr 20, 10:54
- Don't worry Houston, I'm sure there'll be a good QB available in the middle of the draft. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 20, 10:48
- they sold the farm :( -- nm - decline Apr 20, 10:48 8
  - and a year too late -- nm - ML Apr 20, 10:48 7
    - Right. Now, the choice not to move up for Mariota borders on unconscionable. - David Apr 20, 11:04
    - Watch the Rams take Wentz (who they did this for by all reports) leaving them Goff -- nm - decline Apr 20, 10:50
    - and they've joined the Colts in getting fleeced by the *Browns* -- nm - ML Apr 20, 10:50 4
      - Well it's not like the Browns needed a QB. -- nm - iSpam Apr 20, 10:53 3
        
        this means they're not sold on either QB in this year's draft -- (edited) - ML Apr 20, 10:55 2
        
        And if there's anything that the Browns know it's evaluating QBs. -- nm - iSpam Apr 20, 10:57 1
        
        They're under DiPodesta. Analytics is guiding things now. -- nm - ML Apr 20, 10:59
Eagles have agreed to a trade with the Cleveland Browns to acquire the second-overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. -- (link) - decline Apr 20, 10:46
So what's this about how NY only let land-owing white men vote yesterday? - iSpam Apr 20, 10:44 3
- some idiot on my facebook posted yesterday that Dr. Pepper was ending production - ML Apr 20, 10:45 2
  - My step-mother swore backwards and forwards that she heard on Sunday (on FB) that Trump would be dropping out on Monday. - Jovian Apr 20, 10:53
  - fucking morons -- nm - groiny Apr 20, 10:48
Love this picture -- (link) - znufrii Apr 20, 10:40
But what I really want to know is who won the most NY counties. -- nm - ty97 Apr 20, 10:38 3

- Run the Jewels - dj fingerblast Apr 20, 10:40
- I have news for you. News that will shock and surprise you. And that news is as follo -- nm - ML Apr 20, 10:38
tom thibodeau coaching a defense anchored by karl anthony towns sounds like a team you don't want to play against....nm - x Apr 20, 10:33 8
- dude can't go coast-to-coast for shit -- nm - dj fingerblast Apr 20, 10:37 1
  - Dude, cut him some slack. - Spawn Apr 20, 10:47
- I posted earlier that this team was a defensive identity away from the playoffs, and Thibs definitely fits that bill. - ML Apr 20, 10:36 5
  - And with a 30% chance to jump into the top 3 in the lottery? 9% to get #1. Add Simmons to the mix? Forget about it. -- nm* - volnelk Apr 20, 10:37 3
    - heh, ben simmons' defense would make tom thibodeau's blood pressure go sky high...nm - x Apr 20, 10:41 2
      - But he passes like an angel. -- nm - David Apr 20, 10:42
      - "Hold on, coach. I wanna make sure I got this. I try to keep the guy in *front* of me? You sure?" -- nm - Ben Simmons Apr 20, 10:42
  - Yeah, my only big concern would be him running the young kids into the ground. -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 20, 10:37
RIP XBOX 360 -- (link) - Beaker Apr 20, 10:33 3
