2024 NFL Draft 1st round gamethread: Maye the odds be ever in your favor WITH SPOILERS
This would be the pinnacle of “best player available”. Essentially, Atlanta had Penix so high on their board (first? second?) that they couldn’t possibly not take him at 8 even if it makes zero sense for their 2024 and 2025 roster construction. Personally, it seems insane.- 8slim

R1/3: Drake Maye QB UNC
And I explained my post upthread clearly. I saw him play a game against my alma mater and didn't think he was other wordly or anything. I also think he was the right pick. So...- 8slim

R1/3: Drake Maye QB UNC
1) I didn’t say he stunk 2) I avoided draft threads (and draft radio and draft TV) for 2 months leading up to last night 3) Maye was the right pick.- 8slim

He didn’t realize that from the deal they gave him?- 8slim

R1/3: Drake Maye QB UNC
He wasn’t bad when I saw him. He just didn’t strike me as a high draft pick. But a gazillion NFL guys have watched him and think he’s worth that kind of pick. All I know is that no one knows anything. So I was on team “don’t get cute”. Pick the consensus guy and see how it goes.- 8slim

R1/3: Drake Maye QB UNC
This was the pick they had to make. Now, I watched him play against my very very mediocre Syracuse team last year and he didn’t impress me much at all. But, it’s still the pick they had to make.- 8slim

Maybe it’s 20+ years of being indoctrinated by the Belichick way, but I don’t need this. Let the marketing people hype the crowd. I want Mayo doing his job.- 8slim

March/April: Red Sox discussion, observations and trend tracking...AKA It's not all about the Benjamins
Totally agree, and was thinking as much as the Cs hacked up a home playoff loss last night. All the credit to the Sox for battling.- 8slim

April 24. 2024 Beat the Heat
Yeah, every time I try to console myself by thinking about the Game 7s in 2008, I remember that they always held serve at home. You just can’t lose to weaker teams at home.- 8slim
