I'm old and set in my ways, but I actually kinda like this. He's a tool, but I'm sure his players love it! Call me crazy.......................

Probably should have kept this post in the bag along with the 5 wood.

I debated posting it.....but I gotta be honest and will stand by it. If the kids like it, why not???

I did say he was a "tool."

I’m sure his players appreciate that he’s not some uptight dictator style coach, but there’s no way most of them don’t see this as corny as hell.

There’s a reason you don’t see many if an any successful coaches doing stuff like this.

No dont pet the bears, but, do pet the fluffy cows. They luuuv people.

Forgot to mention, fluffy cows LOVE bright colors and fast movement.

Very, Very easy to evade them!! After petting its best to sprint as fast as you can.

They cant keep up, and, certainly wont ram your car.

I mean they're only smaller Banthas.

I get ya........and don't necessarily disagree with you. I, personally, wouldn't want my coach doing this, but today's kids probably like it. Which is pretty sad.
@bignewt was probably correct...........shoulda kept this in the bag with my 1-iron. Live and learn.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Lol fluffy cows. The NPS has the best socials. They are wacky. Someone deserves a raise.

nothing is better than the sheer look of playfulness from an owl.

Note the empathic facial expression, caring look wanting to know, YOU. On a personal level.

The Mannings must be funding the sites to make sure Arch is #1

No it’s the other way around. Sites are using the Manning name for marketing purposes.

None of these recruiting guys want to put their career on the line to call Arch straight up.

1) Most important: They depend on access to the Manning family, and the access that an alliance with the Mannings provides for their careers going forward. Manning Passing Academy, all the coaches and former players that are in all aspects of football culture. They are kissing the ring.

2) It is good for business that he is #1. It drives clicks, it drove a lot of discussion, now it is driving debates.

3) The pedigree. Knowing what we all know about the Mannings, are you really going to go against the grain and put all your chips on the table for one recruit? You won't get dinged for being high on a guy(s) that flames out, busts happen all the time. You will be immortalized if you criticize a Manning and they go on to do great things. It would be one of the most obvious guarantees in football history that the next Manning would be the next great QB, if you're looking back after his however many Super Bowls with the benefit of hindsight -- which is how sports journalism and social media culture works now by the way.

The only people that are zigging are guys looking to make a name for themselves, and even if they are right, they are going to make a career and beat their chest about the one time they were right that a Manning wouldn't be the next great QB? The Mannings will hate you forever, everyone that loves them will hate you forever, other members of sports media will roll their eyes at you. It's not going to earn rep or respect in the football world. Think of how many coaching trees or former players think highly of the Mannings, or think that they owe some of their success to the Mannings. You won't have many allies. So even if you are right, you can't hang your hat on it.

I am not saying that I appreciate the approach, or that I would do the same thing. I am saying that I understand why this is playing out like it is, even if we all know what's really going on. People want to tell it like it is, be honest, call things how they are. The reality is, that like most things, there is more nuance and long-term strategy involved.

I prove the false dichotomy. I'm a way smart, alpha-nerdy, ultra-hot beefcake.


Or so my wife tells me.

Using this line now.

Power aid green.

Why not both?

Looks like we might have lost our transfer catcher- Jack Alexander. News that he signed a free agent deal. That's not good.

I highly recommend this book as an interesting look at the cyclical nature of history in the US going back pre-Revolution. Fascinating!

Looks interesting

Tell me you have no idea what’s going on without telling me

Wow, Jeremy Banks was 12th in the country last year in total tackles. He also got 5.5 sacks. He could have a huge year.

Looks like he was 12th in tackles per game. Had more total tackles than 5 of those above him in that list.

Oh yeah, you are right. Good catch.
