cbbowlingmd--Fall is here, proof is last year's fall debris on the forest floor. And lawns as yet not made leafless. And stubborn, clinging, dead, unfallen leaves on trees that have wintered, now sprouting spring buds. All signs of a fall that insist on lingering here and there despite being long past their expiration date. There, cbbowlingmd, I've done what I can to honor your request to make it all fall already. In return all I ask is a herb rubbed and grilled Nilgai antelope steak.
orange parmejohn--Pig or DYoung get the most playing time question. Answers is they will rotate. Both have too much upside to keep either off the field. Both have too much homerun ability if they get into open space. CBJ knows this. Wouldn't be surprised to see them both on the field to argument the massive passing game I'm convinced we will have.
fade route--Regarding your suggestion that Croom ink up, I hope he doesn't. I know it's a fade among the young these days but ink is a poison. Not just dermatologically speaking but career-wise as well. Doesn't happen in all cases but seen more than a few folks covertly and overtly denied employment due to the ink they sported. Fought against some of those decisions as a member of a review interview and selection committee (RISC), and lost them all. Image and impressions matter in the non-sports world, long after a football career is over. Hopefully, MZTerry has raised her boy to understand this and he heeds her wisdom. Yes, I know about the warrior mentality and the tradition of tattoo relevant to that. Cool, I think but modern realities in the job market beyond sports isn't as friendly as we'd like it to be. Yes, I know there are examples that contradict what I say here but you'd be surprised at what goes on behind closed doors in hiring processes. Bias is alive and too well as I've seen too often. Sometimes a mere word of an interviewee that common sense says is trivial and even minimized by his/her overall interview performance is held against a person. Yes, yes, we have laws and all that, don't mean a thing. The RISC met in a cloistered room. We were required to leave cell phones and any other record capacity devices outside. Easier to cover up the truth that way. So, I know you mean well, but I hope he doesn't ink up for his own good. That stuff can come back and bite your booty real hard, taking out massive chunks of employability.
North may be better than both. We don't know yet. It is possible. this will end up being a productive unit. Looks like there are already 3 NFL wr's on the roster, before North gets on campus. additionally, young will likely get a shot at returning punts in the NFL. I want to see what Alden Hill can do. Lane and Neal are good. Hill is a real power back. With Hurd coming in , that will be a more formidable duo than lane and neal...imo
While I agree with all three statements,replies, your response to Fade is exactly correct. Tattoos can also transmit diseases such as HIV and Hepatitis B.
Yep, Volinvonore, you're right. I forgot to mention the disease risk. Given the laxness of even medical professionals these days (Tulsa Dentist Puts 7,000 at Risk for HIV, Hepatitis - ICTMN.com), the risk from tattoo artists with dollar signs in their eyes and no regard for customer safety isn't to be taken lightly. Your comments, more than anything my post said is the prime reason MZTerry's boy should steer clear of getting inked up.
These posts would probably look great in "The Pub". How about you go over there and start a whole thread on it?
Over here, I could care less about your opinion on tattoo's.
First, I wasn't talking to you as was evident in that I named in my post who I was addressing. But you know how it is with some people, they gotta "insert" themselves even if it's a knot hole in a fence.
Second, if what say above is true, why are you responding to my post? :dance2on't mess the Zohan.
Ahhhhh. So as long as I put someones screen name, ie...WoodsmanVol, in my reply, no one else should comment. I get it now.
Second. Because you are a d'bag trying to use this thread to enforce your own personal moral compass on others. :finger3: Just messed with the Zohan!

Yep. I crave attention. :good!:
