FWIW, I think SD would be crazy to trade #3 overall. They'll only get #3 pick value for what's really the top player. - David Apr 28, 10:03 3
- it makes sense if they have a couple of guys bunched at the top of their board -- (edited) - ML Apr 28, 10:04 2
  - How often does the team picking #1 overall get a chance at their top guy? - David Apr 28, 10:09 1
    - Um, is this a trick question? I'll go with "100% of the time". -- nm - Jim Apr 28, 10:10

Blackish made me SO happy last night. - David Apr 28, 09:55
The Most (And Least) Popular Senators In America -- (link) - Strongbad Apr 28, 09:33 6
- I do think it's noteworthy that the most popular person in the Senate is neither Democrat nor Republican. -- nm - David Apr 28, 09:58
- 14% don't know what they think of Ted Cruz or have no opinion? -- nm - Reagen Apr 28, 09:58 1
  - They're just in denial that he exists. -- nm - pmb Apr 28, 10:02
- I'm pretty sure 10% of Warren's favor-ability can be traced directly to me. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 28, 09:36
- 2 Senators had higher Disapprove than Approve. Mitch McConnell and Pat Roberts -- nm - Strongbad Apr 28, 09:35
- Isakson's 50% approval boggles my mind here. The guy is great. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 28, 09:34
Re: Myles Jack - ML Apr 28, 09:28 16
- Can he cook? -- nm - Reagen Apr 28, 09:44 2
  - What's greatest about that story is that the dumb comment got applied to a kid whose father is apparently a five-star chef. -- nm - ML Apr 28, 09:45 1
    - Right. -- nm - David Apr 28, 09:47
- This is what happened to Bowers a few seasons ago. -- nm - David Apr 28, 09:31
- I feel bad for the guy - didn't he injure it on the last game of the season? -- nm - decline Apr 28, 09:29 11
  - Nope, he was early -- Jaylon Smith? was Notre Dame's bowl game iirc and he's probably a non-entity now. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 28, 09:31 10
    - Some folks are speculating NE will draft him with one of their bunch between 60 and 90. -- nm - David Apr 28, 09:34 9
      - That might be too high if he's seriously compromised... - Will Hunting Apr 28, 09:35 8
        
        I've been making that argument all month with people who want him to go in the second round. - David Apr 28, 09:39 1
        
        Right, I mean NE could do it if they've got a ton of picks (like couldn't the Titans do this with their bounty of Rams picks) - Will Hunting Apr 28, 09:42
        
        he really is Lattimore V2 - ML Apr 28, 09:36 5
        
        I still remember how disappointed I was to not get Lattimore in SCUFFL, he went earlier than I thought. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 28, 09:37
        
        Yep. Only takes one team to roll the dice. -- nm - volnelk Apr 28, 09:37 3
        
        I'll be really interested in seeing where he lands. I wouldn't mind the Vikings taking a shot at him in the 3rd or 4th rounds. - ML Apr 28, 09:44 2
        
        Since we're two picks down, I don't want him on our board. - David Apr 28, 09:54
        
        Same. -- nm - volnelk Apr 28, 09:53
Peyton Manning's gonna win Draft Day. -- nm - David Apr 28, 09:27

  - Who died and left you a trunk full of hats? -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 09:22
- he's guilty! -- nm* - Beaker Apr 28, 09:20 10
  - The 'Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer' meme may be my favorite dumb thing of this primary. - ty97 Apr 28, 09:21 9
    - Funny because true. -- nm - Spawn Apr 28, 09:25
    - I'm partial to him being on Springer. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 28, 09:22 7
      - Regarding that (mental image warning) - ty97 Apr 28, 09:24 6

        You are a sick, sick man. -- nm - znufrii Apr 28, 09:26 1
        
        It's just logical! -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 09:28
        
        *shudder* -- nm - decline Apr 28, 09:25
- good lord -- nm - mud Apr 28, 09:19 1
  - Big, if true. -- nm - Mop Apr 28, 09:20
Oh, it really is the NFL draft today. I was wondering why you idiots were drafting your fantasy teams today. -- nm* - ty97 Apr 28, 09:10 1
- Spoiler: It's always draft day. -- nm - Qale Apr 28, 09:16

- pee... see...? -- nm - Mop Apr 28, 09:18
- steal. this game is still worth the full original $60 price. -- nm - Jovian Apr 28, 09:08 1
  - It really is a great game. So glad I ponied up for it. -- nm - ML Apr 28, 09:09

- 1992 -- nm - dj fingerblast Apr 28, 09:13
- Probably sometime in 2008 -- nm - JaxSean Apr 28, 09:12 2
  - *tries to recall the date of Vegastravaganza* -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 09:13 1
    - May15th - 19th give or take. - Will Hunting Apr 28, 09:15

  - junior prom? -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 09:11 1
    - nope. they day I started up my torrid love affair with a 27 year old secretary. - Jovian Apr 28, 09:17

  - 8 HOURS! -- nm - decline Apr 28, 09:03
  - Tell me you rented Kevin Costner's "best sports movie ever" -- nm - CQ Apr 28, 09:03
- meh, they're all the same. -- nm - CQ Apr 28, 09:02
- retirement day -- nm - decline Apr 28, 09:01
- something in about 1990. -- nm - Andie Apr 28, 09:00
- A day off. -- nm - Diva Apr 28, 08:59
- Today. -- nm - Spawn Apr 28, 08:59
New poll shows Clinton up 54-41 in Indiana. This is a major outlier poll. Two possibilities. - ty97 Apr 28, 08:52 5
- I have always expected that to be the reality here. Sanders does not connect here. -- nm - Spawn Apr 28, 08:59 2
  - The demographics data 538 ran in mid-March (based on voting to date at that point) suggested 52-47 Clinton in IN. - ty97 Apr 28, 09:04 1
    - Sanders went negative. That really changed how he is viewed. -- nm - Spawn Apr 28, 09:18
- [deleted] 1
  - I do it for you Jack. You're welcome. -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 08:56
Here is my guaranteed-to-be-wrong top 10 for tonight's draft - ML Apr 28, 08:41 27
- "Neither Goff nor Wentz should be a top two pick" - ESPN College Football Analyst Anthony Becht -- nm* - decline Apr 28, 09:03 11
  - they're certainly not the two best players in the draft, if that's what he's getting at - ML Apr 28, 09:05 9
    - Yeah. They're reached the "Everyone is on board so if we miss, we *all* miss" point where you have to take them. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 28, 09:06 6
      - Also, heard this on a podcast. How funny would it be if the Eagles decided to stick with Bradford and took Ramsey with the #2? -- nm - volnelk Apr 28, 09:07 5
        
        do you follow Goodberry at all? he posted his best guess at the Bengals board -- (link) - ML Apr 28, 09:14 4
        
        Cool thanks. Sounds about right. I want Doctson. -- nm - volnelk Apr 28, 09:17 3
        
        I posted it on a BB, but it appears the Vikings have Doctson and Coleman basically equivalent - ML Apr 28, 09:18 2
        
        I still think MegaQuon to Detroit is a possibility. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 28, 09:43
        
        Yeah, it's going to get muddy in that area. Lots of teams looking WR and lots of quality WR that everyone probably values differently. - volnelk Apr 28, 09:36
    - Right. That's not really a hot take. I don't think anyone has them RATED as the top picks, they're just going to be the top picks. -- nm - volnelk Apr 28, 09:06 1
      - What hurts them is that they're getting compared to last year's top two picks. -- nm - David Apr 28, 09:50
  - those are not exactly good football names. -- nm - groiny Apr 28, 09:04
- You'll be hearing from my attorneys. -- nm - Reagen Apr 28, 08:57
- Have we traded up? I don't think we will. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 28, 08:57
- MIA trading back up to 8 would be funny. I hope Elliott or Hargreaves fall to us at 13. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 28, 08:56
- Didn't Bosa really underwhelm at the Combine and workouts? -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 28, 08:50
- no Mack? -- nm - decline Apr 28, 08:43 9
  - no Jack -- nm - ML Apr 28, 08:44 8
    - yeah, that's what I meant -- nm - decline Apr 28, 08:47 5
      - I'm buying that teams are going to be scared off by medicals. Jack himself (stupidly) said that he might have to have microfracture down the road. -- (link*) - ML Apr 28, 08:48 4
        
        I'd take him in a heartbeat. - Will Hunting Apr 28, 09:01 1
        
        Since we don't have access to team medicals, he's entirely unknowable tonight. The ultimate wild card pick. -- (edited) - ML Apr 28, 09:03
        
        ah, hadn't heard that about the microfracture. -- nm - decline Apr 28, 08:50 1
        
        yeah, that was the beginning of the end for me. - groiny Apr 28, 09:11
    - That's whack -- nm - prayformojo Apr 28, 08:45 1
      - and don't you come back no more no more no more no more -- nm - ML Apr 28, 08:46
- Uh oh, we have the same #8. -- nm - Spawn Apr 28, 08:42
[deleted] 4
- You're not talking about freezing panes/headers, right, this is something different? -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 08:47 1
  - [deleted]
- highlight cells, right click, options, protection, lock cells? -- nm - groiny Apr 28, 08:43 1
  - I was going to say this. Lock all the cells then just highlight the ones you want and unlock them. -- nm - volnelk Apr 28, 09:14
The Stanley Cup playoffs are always a good reminder that one of the better current names in sports is Cal Clutterbuck -- nm - prayformojo Apr 28, 08:39 2
- I like Shattenkirk better. -- nm - Shaun Apr 28, 08:40 1
  - Love his Twitter handle too: @shattdeuces . -- nm - Jim Apr 28, 08:43

- It's.... - znufrii Apr 28, 08:45
- It's day 736,081 -- nm - decline Apr 28, 08:43 1
  - No, it is day 17,752. -- nm - Spawn Apr 28, 08:49
- It's my best man's birthday. Does that help? -- nm - volnelk Apr 28, 08:41
- *looks at calendar* I'm confused, actually -- nm - Rebecca Black Apr 28, 08:39 1
  - Heh. Her week is: - Spawn Apr 28, 08:42
