I've changed minds. I've made families' days and nights. I've shifted entire economies and made people gain and lose millions upon millions by betting on me.

Not bad for a stonie.
Wish I was paid more. Then I could donate more.

My wife was a volcanologist... shoot, I forget her official title, but she did a lot of work over there.
She keeps telling me we should move there, but she hates the cold so I just shrug my shoulders and and say the truth: I like it here.

The 2020 draft class looks like a huge success. I hope the coaching staff gives playing time to Reggie Robinson (inactive all year) and Bradlee Anae the last five weeks too; we might have two more bright lights and not even know it.

I hope so. But it takes more than a year to know what you have in a draft.

Geophysicist! That's what she was!
It's awesome when we watch a Nat Geo show and she's all That Guy was a complete jerk. I placed tags all over Hawaii and he never let the camera show me while he talked and talked.


So crazy that she's now a Radiologist and works the front lines at the Hospitals of El Paso during this insane garbage.

She regrets nothing, but we stress bro. We stress.

In a year where injuries and poor execution made this season dissolve faster than a snowball on a Dallas summer sidewalk, there are 3 bright lights that have come through in the darkness of a bad season.

Going into the season, these three guys were not considered to be future starters or even major contributors. But after injuries and disappointments from the players ahead of them in the depth chart, these guys have emerged as big contributors with a bright future:
  • Dalton Schultz-TE- the former 4th rounder from Stanford has emerged this year after the injury to Blake Jarwin in game one. Schultz has caught 44 passes for 432 yards and 3 TDs and has also improved as a blocker, which was his strength out of college. Who would have guessed he would become the reliable safety valve for all 4 QBs who have played this year. We found a pretty good TE now in Schultz.
  • Donovan Wilson- S- after being a little used backup early on behind Darrian Thompson, Wilson has emerged the last few weeks as a monster hitter who has forced a couple of turnovers and is everywhere on the field. His coverage skills are still “developing” and I’m not sure yet if he’s “the answer” at S long term, but he has certainly made himself part of the discussion.

  • Dorrance Armstrong- DE- also a former 4th rounder, Armstrong caught the eye of Mike Mac and other coaches early on this year in practices. Because of that, he has earned more playing time of late and has shown some flashes both as a run stopper and occasionally as a pass rusher. He’s probably never going to be a star, but as a rotational player, he has shown he’s capable of making enough plays to have a future here.
It’s been a rough year. But if these three guys continue to improve, their development might make the disappointment of this season less frustrating. None of them will probably ever be stars, but it takes more than stars to win in this league. These three have certainly been bright lights in the darkness.

I have to hand it to you, I am not sure if I have seen anyone here who starts more threads than you. You deserve some sort of “prize” for effort even if some of your threads are fails.

I almost added Tyler Biadz and Connor McGovern to this list. McGovern has come on as of late as a RG. Just not enough reps to know what he is yet. Biadz showed some promise before getting hurt. Again, too small a sample size.

I like Biadz. Just looks like a guy that can become a real force. He is already strong, but a year of NFL conditioning along with working on technical aspects, he has the potential to be a top 5 center. He and Diggs getting injured was unfortunate.
