I think I could have put it better. The Pitt remains one of my favorite shows of all time. I liked the finale a lot, and I agree that not every season can have a mass casualty event. They did a good job making it feel like the end of a shift (where some characters just disappear when the clock hit 7). It was just going to be a tall task to keep up with Breaking Bad. I thought Breaking Bad got better as the season / series ended. The Pitt stayed very good, but I just don’t think it quite matched BB’s level of television excellence…. For now.

Better Call Saul is better and I’ll die on that hill. Breaking Bad is about the arc from beginning to end. The character development is unmatched… But BCS on an episode-by-episode basis is just better.

I finished The Pitt season two. Excellent show but dropped down my list a bit at the end. Not a knock on the ending, it was a good season finale. But to stay in BCS/Breaking Bad territory, you have to continue to ascend.

It will surprise me if he lets the clock expire. But after about five minutes I’ll convince myself it’s a master plan and he’s actually brilliant for it.

That’s the goal of his statements. It does him no good to say “yeah we’ve got a big hole at edge and RT right now so you best believe, that’s what we are looking to fill at #17.” Then when they draft Freeling, it’s “he was just the best player on our board!” Campbell doesn’t believe in coach-speak but Holmes definitely engages in GM-speak.

Jalen Carter was street racing drunk drivers at over 100mph, then declined to render aid, and was arrested. In addition to the work ethic and locker room concerns (that have proven true). Bain effectively rear ended someone on a freeway, causing their death, and was cited. These are not in the same ballpark of facts.

There's a big difference between character/locker room concerns reflective of bad judgment and a legitimate accident. This sounds like a legitimate accident. He wasn't drunk, high, or driving recklessly. He was just at-fault in an accident, it happened on a freeway where everyone is going way faster than they consciously realize, and it tragically cost someone their life. I would sincerely hope it never happens to anyone I know, but I think a tragic accident could happen to anyone. I have no reason to doubt he's not sincerely sorry about it. And I don't think this is the kind of thing that gets guys removed from our board.

I think it's extremely likely they take an OT at #17 (or whenever they first pick). I've seen a couple mocks with Mauigoa falling to the Bengals at #10 or Dolphins at #11. If that happens, I wouldn't be super shocked to see us ship off next year's 3rd and some later round picks to move up... But I think they value Borom more than we do, for better or worse. I think they see him as an available stopgap if they don't go OT early. Holmes has quantified his number of "day one talents" before. Talked about Jameson Williams was one of their last day one talents, which is why they traded up. Talked about how both Gibbs and Campbell were day one talents on their board. If someone like Sonny Styles, Mansoor Delane, Caleb Downs, or maybe even Jeremiyah Love inexplicably fell into their laps, I think they pull the trigger on that pick, trust Borom can get it done, and maybe go get Cam Robinson or Jonah Williams on a one-year deal as an insurance policy or to at least add some competition to the room.

They’re just throwing noise out there. Which is fine.

Too much salt for my tastes. 🧂 🧂 🧂

Them mother****ers did it

13 seconds left up 4 and (probably) shooting two. Just make your free throws.
