its Kody. because all the kids' names have to start with "k"...

wembanyama is as skinny as chet, so it will be interesting to see him develop.

what a brutal schedule.

the other grand jury declined to charge him. the plaintiffs' lawyer in the case will have to find another county to keep up the pressure on watson to settle. watson should just settle the cases. get the women some money and they'll go away. the problem is that tony buzbee doesnt need the money. he's already a multi multi millionaire. what he wants is the publicity so he can get more business and run for office again. so no nominal amount of money that would usually settle a claim like this is going to entice him to do it.

bates has been used by his dad to further his dad's interests. its a shame. he may never live up to that potential because of it. that said, he's very young and is obbiously talented. he's got time to make some changes and grow up a bit.

speaking of 1978...i was watching that ridiculously stupid hbo series "winning time" on the lakers and there is a scene when theyre talking about replacing jerry west as coach and they have some names written on a chalkboard and number one on the list was dick vitale. but he was under contract.

memphis was struggling this yeat...and then bates left the team and they immediately went 10-0.

good run for a flawed team.

mayfield was hurt last year and was terrible. healthy mayfield was pretty decent. dont want him now. too expensive.

denied. keep trying, tony buzbee.

ivey is quick and can jump. he is nothing like stanley johnson.

welp.

doesnt play through injury. people questioned his willingness to play hard at oregon. its just draft scuttlebutt talk.

thibs is almost becoming underrated now. he's the "bendiest" of all the de's and the one that most profiles as a top top pass rusher. he's got some flaws and because he's been the presumed #1 for so long people have had time to pick him over, but he's a better "pass rushing" prospect than hutchinson. hutch had a great year, but he's not "bendy", he's got great hands, is strong, and has a non stop motor, but he's not going to be able to go through nfl tackles the way he went through ohio state tackles. hutch seems like a high floor high-ish ceiling guy, while thibs - with his injury history and perceived "character" issues - seems more of a lower floor but highest ceiling player. and i'm always wary of "character" and "motivation" concerns with prospects. i'd be fine if they took thibs.

yes.

jimmy butler has done this to every team he's been on. talked his way out of chicago, minny, and philly. he's a complete diva.

toss up. hutch, thibs, hamilton, walker.

https://www.nfl.com/prospects/kyle-hamilton/32004841-4d24-6970-5c23-1fbf7506b4a0 hard to argue against taking a guy with that scouting report.

so youre wondering if jonathan schoop would bring back a better package than jd martinez?

i assume hamilton would be the "in the box" linebacker and walker would be your "centerfielder". hamilton would run with tight ends but is unlikely to be able to cover receivers.

the problem with hamilton - if there is one - is that he's too slow to be an nfl safety and too small to be an effective nfl linebacker. that's the worry.

trading down is ridiculous on those things, but its fun to play with.

real men do seven round mocks.

ragnow too. i know he's a really good player but he's a center. not exactly a premium position. but that was bob quinn and bob quinn was bad at his job.

i thought they both looked fine, amd both bring needed depth (and size at forward). my only caution is that they were playing one of the worst teams in the league. the flyers are bad.
