If someone else drafted Smack right in front of them, then what?

He pitched at least 5 innings in 8 of his first 9 starts. How is that "horridly inconsistent"? I know that ERA isn't the perfect stat, but since you brought up earned runs, when the Brewers acquired him he had a 5.01 ERA. Nine starts later his ERA was 4.50. His ERA over his first 9 starts with the Brewers was 3.55. How is that "below replacement"? Don't let his last two starts distort what was a very solid and needed acquisition.

Former owner of the Braves, Ted Turner, passed away at age 87. One of the pioneers of cable TV networks, Turner's TBS brought Braves baseball to many outside of the Atlanta area, creating a nation-wide base of fans. He also managed the Braves for one day - May 11th, 1977. TBS and TNT also helped bring the NCAA tournament to more homes and for years have been the base of being able to broadcast all of the games nationally.. And his purchase of WCW wrestling and rivalry with Vince McMahon helped make professional wrestling the industry it is today, even if it wasn't that successful for him when he owned it.

A light snow has been falling for almost 24 hours. Have a winter wonderland on the trees/shrubs/grass, but because it was in the 70s almost all April, the ground is warm and there is no accumulation on the streets.

Thought of that. It would likely fill with too much water, pushing some soil over the edge and making a mess on my rooftop deck. Or the soil will run out of the bottom drainage holes with the excess water, making a mess on my rooftop deck. Have that. My air filter generates white noise. Thought it would be enough, but the water drops are very large and the tapping noise is too loud. Concerned I won't hear my alarm going off in the morning.

I think there's some engineers on here, so maybe they can help me figure this out. Long story short - there is a spot where the gutters aren't capturing all of the rain. The rain is dripping off of a corner in very large drops, and of course it is hitting right above my bedroom (flat roof, slightly pitched to allow drainage). Because the drops are large, they make a loud tapping noise that makes it hard to fall asleep. I don't think there's anything that can be done about capturing the water, and I rent so I'm not spending a lot of money to fix it. It doesn't rain here much, so I have to deal with it less than 20 times a year. Is there any way to dampen the noise of the large drops hitting the roof? I tried putting an old patio table under it so it's not hitting the roof; it's not quite as loud, but still noticeable. If I raised one side of the patio table so that the drops are hitting at more of an angle, will that make it quieter? What would be a cheap way of solving for this?

It didn't by chance come from a Twitter account with the name SeanWrightNBA, did it?

Comments from the Executive Directors of the Senior Bowl and the Shrine Bowl on the Packers' draft picks: https://www.si.com/nfl/packers/onsi/senior-bowl-shrine-leaders-praise-packers-picks-including-sexy-fat-man Of note: Why McClellan over Orange? “Because he’s more athletic than regular fat men,” Fabianich said. “I keep calling them fat men because fat men can’t pass rush. All they do is push the pocket. “He’s got the athletic ability to actually use speed and be able to flip his hips at the top of his rush, and he can change directions. So, that’s what makes him a better pass rusher than those guys. Now, Domonique Orange now, I love him. Lined up against him for two years [when Fabianich was general manager and director of scouting at West Virginia]. He is going to destroy people in the run game.” “Yeah, he can do the fat-man stuff,” Fabianich said. “The reason why he was more valuable is because of the pass rush. He can handle the two-gap sh**. I mean, he can do all that. He’s fine with that. And he’ll eat two and he’ll bust a double-team and he’ll make a play. I don’t see an issue with him whatsoever, and I thought he went right where he should have went, too. I thought he might even actually have went a little higher, to be honest with you.”

Nuggets bounced as #3 seed by #6 seed Minnesota. Celtics bounced as #2 seed by #7 Philly. Nuggets have won one title with 3x MVP Jokic, Celtics have won one title with Tatum and their annually deep roster. Winning a championship is hard.

Don't know, I can only get for a single player at a time. Total list costs $$. Rashan Gary was 53rd at 68.3. Micah Parsons was 3rd at 92.0. Enagbare was 71st at 63.6.

FWIW, PFF has his 2025 grade as 75.5, placing him 27th among 115 edge rushers. Must have been one helluva beast against the run.

That's Noogeybauer!!

LVN and Enagbare are very close in a lot of metrics. KE is listed at 6'4", 258 and is 26 years old: LVN is listed at 6'5", 272, and is soon to turn 25. Looking at 2025 numbers, LVN only played in 9 games; if you extrapolate that to 17 games: KE: 2 sacks, 15 pressures, 39 tackles, 6 TFLs, played 42% of snaps. LVN (extrapolated to 17 games): 3 sacks, 22 pressures, 36 tackles, 6 TFLs, 45% of snaps. While LVNs extrapolated numbers are a little better, they are not markedly better, and the numbers are extrapolated - some discounting because of injury risk needs to be taken. I do expect LVN to get more on the open market than KE, but not a lot more. $13M in guarantees is more than the $8M in guarantees that KE got.

LVN's 5th year option is due in 3 days. According to Over the Cap, it's $13.7M I doubt they pick it up if they didn't pick it up for Quay Walker. I wouldn't be opposed to giving him $13.7M but not for just one year. It would have to be $13M in guarantees on something like a 3/$30M extension. Enagbare got 1/$9M (most of it guaranteed), so that's about what LVN is worth right now. $9M signing bonus plus $4M guaranteed 2027 salary, $7M 2027 cap hit. Only $6M dead cap if he doesn't continue to improve, but under contract for multiple years if he does continue to improve.

Garrison Hearst only played in 14 games over his first two seasons and rushed for less than 500 combined yards. He went on to have a very productive career. It's not unprecedented.
