  1. And Rodriguez. I think we see why they kept him up and sent Peguero down.
  2. I think that they fired their DL coach for a reason. There were rumblings during the season that the players weren't happy with him and what he was coaching. Rashan Gary went from 5 sacks his 2nd year to 9.5 his third year. LVN has the same number of sacks after his first two seasons as Rashan Gary did. I also think that the draft is very deep with edge rushers, and that GMs will say anything before the draft to throw off the scent of who they are really targeting. And I also think that interior pass rush is just as important and edge rushing. Edge rushers get a lot of sacks cleaning up interior pressure that flushes the QB out of the pocket.
  3. I don't know how someone could have watched the playoff game against the Eagles and said that we didn't need an interior lineman. Especially after losing an interior OL and moving the LG to a different position, forcing one of the two subs at LG in that game to start if they didn't get an interior lineman. I sure as hell wouldn't have felt good about going into the season with Glover or Telfort penciled in as the starter at LG.
  4. I think that Bobby Portis is more important to this team than most think. Record without Portis: 16-15 Record with Portis: 31-19 Debate what a "3rd scorer" is, but if they can get Lillard back a top 5 of Giannis - Lillard - Portis - Porter Jr - Kuzma/Lopez can run with just about anyone.
  5. Almost as nostalgic as that wood paneling!
  6. They needed to be the last two years because of all of the dead cap from Rodgers, Bakhtiari, and all of the creative ways that Gutey tried to improve the roster in order to go for it in 2021 and 2022.
  7. I think that most if not all of the 1st/2nd round projected players they bring in for official visits are backup plans so that they don't get caught with their pants down if the guys who they really want in those rounds aren't available. I think that after the first round there is a big dropoff in DT talent. I would consider Tyleik Williams at #54 but I would not move up from #54 to take him. My guess is that he's a backup plan if they get skunked out of Harmon/Nolen in the 1st. I read that they've only drafted something like 2 of the 26 players they've brought in who ended up getting selected in the first round. One of them was Love who was a virtual visit in 2020 when the combine and pro days got shut down by COVID, so I'm not sure if that really counts. Wyatt is the only player they've drafted who they have physically brought to Green Bay on an official visit and then drafted in the first round. Fun fact - Devonte Wyatt has 4.5 more sacks than any other DT taken in the entire 2022 draft. In fact, between the entire 2022 and 2021 drafts, the only DTs with more sacks than Wyatt (12) are Christian Barmore (13.5) and Osa Odighizuwa (13.5) and both were a part of the 2021 draft.
  8. For the most part, yes. If you sign a kid when he's 16, you should know by the time he's 18 or 19 if he's going to be a superstar. If not, then he becomes available just like any other player in the system.
  9. Just like when last year people said to DFA Payamps. Then he had a 1.11 ERA the 2nd half of the season.
  10. Coors Field, 4/9/25 There's a Wisconsin bar a block south of Coors Field - Swanky's. Full of Brewers fans. Coors Field has a rooftop party terrace in right field. Before games they have happy hour with $3 12oz Coors Light, but tonight there were six lines and each one was 20 people deep. Swankys is your better bet. Using SpotHero I found underground garage parking about 8 blocks away for $6.
  11. And the answer to "Where am I?" is Swanky's, a Wisconsin bar a block from Coors Field. The answer to "What am I eating?" is Swanky's mac & cheese topped with a sliced Johnsonville brat.
  12. When the Brewers score more runs than the cost of your 16oz craft beer, you know it probably was a really good game.
  13. There's a rooftop party deck in right field. Cheap seats, a few bars, a Smashburger, and they have pre-game happy hour with $3 Coors Lights. Lots of fans up there instead of the stands.
  14. Kelly Evans on CNBC just made an interesting point about how the US and Mexico could become the next US and China, with manufacturing moving from China to Mexico because of tariffs and to eliminate the time and cost of trans-oceanic transportation. Manufacturing costs in Mexico can be higher due to higher transportation costs (time and money) coming from China and still allow tariffs on imports from China. That being said, the main reason companies manufacture in China is so that they can easily sell in China.
  15. He finished his career as Ohio State's all time leader in receptions and receiving yards. Think about that for a minute. Cris Carter, Harrison Jr., Olave, Garrett Wilson, Smith-Njigba, David Boston, Joey Galloway, Michael Thomas, Terry Glenn, Ted Ginn, Santonio Holmes... Then think about who he shared time with and had to beat out just to get on the field.
  16. Back off appears to be the answer... for today
  17. Yep, and that's one of the components keeping the 10-year rate artificially high. And the 10-year rate affects mortgage rates.
  18. Quite the opposite, actually. I use Outlook online with an old Hotmail account for buying anything online (including utilities, travel, etc.) and have a separate Gmail account for professional/family/friends. I used to get a ton on the Hotmail account, but not since the beginning of the year. Outlook online is easy to mark as phishing/spam, and Microsoft must be applying AI to emails marked as phishing because I get a lot less than I used to.
  19. Really hard right now to convince kids to stay/go somewhere where they'll be on the bench. Just as hard to keep a kid as it is to convince a transfer to come in somewhere where he'll get 10 minutes a game.
  20. Yep. B-R.com has him as not eligible for arbitration until 2028 and not a free agent until 2031. For a halfway decent starting pitcher, that type of team and salary control will cost a lot in return.
  21. It is a very nice park. You just don't want to attend a night game there that gets a rain delay. Not many options getting out of there after midnight. Trains to the city only once every 30-45 minutes.
