I’d take it. If we go WR in round 2, I’d rather have Ricky Pearsell or Xavier Legette. But if it played out this way, I’d run to the podium to take Edgerrin Cooper. I’d probably take a look at Braden Fiske too o...

It’s a DB pension. You can retire at age 62. You get the average of your highest five years of salary x 2.5% x years of service. (Ex. If your average highest salary over 5 years...

I’ve worked in both. The “lazy state worker” is a bad meme. I worked much harder and longer hours working for the state. And there are plenty of brothers-in-law and kids and other people in private industry who are either dumb, lazy or corrupt.
The main difference is pay and stability. Government...

We did a day trip to Gruyère from Lucerne. We stopped and rode the tram through town to see the bears. Tons of shops if that’s your thing, but IMO, there are much better ways to spend your time in Switzerland. A 30 min stop over if you’re in the area seemed perfect. But I wouldn’t go out of my way t...

re: Why the O-T hate over tattoos?
Posted by Suntiger on 4/12/24 at 7:34 am
I don’t really care one way or the other. But it seems to me that visible tattoos in 2020 are similar to the affliction/‘roid/spray tan/Jersey shore trend of the early 2000s.

Is Bowers a unicorn? I don’t think he’s 6-6 running a 4.39 40 yard dash with a 45 inch vertical. Not saying his production in college wasn’t good, but he played on a great team and had good players and...

It’s good for everyone. Otherwise, a bad draft pick can cripple your franchise.
