We have only 2 "Edge/OLB" guys though in Granderson & Young. 3 if you include Foskey. Not saying Clowney is the answer, but we definitely need to add something for outside pass rush.

No beard oil. I don't like my beard looking greased up and shiny like LeBron.
I'm not hating, I just don't know how people do not use beard oils/balms/creams. Mine gets dried TF out if I don't.
I use The Man Brand Hemp Beard wash every shower, and Honest Amish beard balm after every shower. The wash significantly reduced my beard dandruff, and the balm keeps is moisturized and a groomed look so it's not dry and wiry

When I go into someone's house that has these overly scented things, it's fricking awful.
No issue at work, but both my parents and my brother's homes are ridiculous with the plug-ins. My brother & SIL literally have a plug-in in every single outlet in the kitchen & living room. You can smell it standing outside at their front door before opening the damn door.
It's so obnoxious that it usually gives my wife & I a headache, and when we go for holidays & such and cook food that we cannot bring any leftovers home because the food smells & tastes like it was seasoned with lavender. When we would open the ziploc or tupperware at our house it just hits you.
Hell my parents came visit two weeks ago, we keep our house cold so my mom wrapped up in our blanket on the couch and we had to wash that blanket the next day because walking into our living room we could smell their house as if we had a plug-in and it was just residual scent from mom covering with it the day prior.
That's not even to mention how unhealthy most of those more commonly used brands are with all of the shite ingredients that are in them.

I'm not mad a round about at Old Perkins & Bluff, but they at least need to add a right turning lane coming from Blue Bayou onto Bluff. There is plenty of room to do so in the corner ditch area of that church property. It definitely gets backed up in the evenings.

I was recently wondering if those places are going to hold their value. They developed like mad down there and it is catnip for Boomers. But there's a population dropoff after Boomers and I can't see Gen X moving there at the same rate. Everything there just seems Boomer centric but what happens when they all die or shuffle off to nursing homes?
See I think it's the opposite. A lot of today's 40ish adults are less and less worried about having big yards and houses, and more of them are less handy around the house so I would think they are more inclined to move into a community like that as soon as they hit 55.
re: Bruce Feldman (The Athletic) has the Saints selecting OL Will Campbell in round 1

I think he’ll be fine at LT. Move Fuaga to RT and penning to lg
Fuaga did very well as a ROOKIE at a new position in LT. I'd bank him on remaining at LT. If you draft Campbell you test him & Penning between RT & LG that way there are only 2 players/positions in flux.
I don't like the idea of moving young players to new positions like Fuaga & Campbell nor do I like switching positions for struggling players like Penning but we do have to field best 5 OL. Penning's inconsistent play has not warranted is us picking up his 5th year option so it's possible he is a FA after this year so drafting Campbell makes a ton of sense. If Penning's play builds on what we saw last year then that still leaves us the potential to sign him to a new contract, just cheaper than the $17M+ 5th year option.
Same logic applies to Olave's 5th year option which makes drafting a WR a smart move too.
Similar logic applies to Carr's contract which makes drafting a QB at #9 a smart move too.

Open air bone conduction ear buds that can charge on 3-way apple station?
Posted by Doug_H on 4/1/25 at 7:24 am
Is this even a thing, or are air-pods the only ear buds with a charging case that is compatible to most 3-way charging stations? This for work in the office so I don't need premium sound like if I was outside or at the gym, but still want a good quality.
Or any recommendations on 3-way charging stations that can charge an i-phone but are also compatible with different brands of ear bud charging cases?

re: Spin-Off: Worst Golf Course You Have Ever Played
Posted by Doug_H on 3/30/25 at 12:40 pm
Riverlands Country Club in LaPlace. Played in June 2024, absolutely worse crap I've ever played and they had the nerve to charge $45. All 4 of us said the same. Weeds and such growing on tee boxes, fairways & several of the greens had to be cut with one of the neighbors zero turns. The rough (like 1' off fairway) and grounds between tee boxes and fairways was so tall and uneven they probably used a neighbors 1982 snapper to cut.
re: Saints sign Brandin Cooks
Posted by Doug_H on 3/21/25 at 5:41 pm
We let Marques Valdez-Scantling walk and sign with Seattle for 1yr/$4M with $3M guaranteed.
And sign Cooks to 2yr/$13M???????? Guaranteed $ is the big factor obviously but you have to guess its in the $9M range.
This one does not make sense letting MVS walk, plus he's a better blocker than Cook.

I don't know. Listed at 6'4" 315lbs he could be 3-4 NT but he's not very stout against the run thus far with us. Maybe at 3-4 DE in base, run down & yardage situations.
Not a big fan of the extension, pending the details of course.

I think he was making a joke...
Actually I was partially serious, basing off of the Bears trading (2) 3rd round picks to the Dolphins for 27yr old WR Brandon Marshall. I thought it was (2) 4th rounders, but I just checked and it was 3rd rounders. The only "joke" piece is just the idea of the Chiefs being the rich getting richer, but they do have a need for a true #1WR.

DK will be traded to the Chiefs for (2) conditional 4th rd picks with one possibly turning into a 3rd.

f Shanahan can’t make a QB out of Lance, I’m not sure what type of future he has
Honest question, was/is he really that bad? I know he's never looked like a star since being in the NFL, but has he looked like a complete bust in his game action? I only watched 1 game his rookie season and he looked like a rookie. Few good plays showing athletic ability & live arm, then several bad plays expected of rookies like holding onto the ball too long and taking a sack and the anxious fast balls overshooting the WR.
Quick look at his NFL stats and he's only attempted 143 passes. 71 of those his rookie season completing 41 (56%) with 5TD / 2INT. I thought he was reach at the top of round 1, but even still he was a high 1st rd pick so is roughly 5 games worth pass attempts spread over 4 seasons enough declare the guy a bust?
That said, the only way I bring him in is at basically league minimum if we cut Taysom and we look for another move type QB with specific packages for a handful of plays a game.
re: Can someone explain travel ball to me

stand on rec ball no matter what. That’s what I grew up on
Okay Gramps, make sure people are off your lawn while you're at it. 2025 is vastly different from 1990-2000 rec leagues. Hell travel ball in 2025 has evolved from 2000-2010. There are different levels to it, and like it or not but there are not many rec kids that will even make high school teams. As mentioned they don't travel as far/often as they used to.

being a little entitled douchebag is a lifetime sentence.
True, but I don't think travel ball makes that any more likely vs rec ball. One could argue that higher standards set in travel ball requires the kids to strive harder to achieve the level they want/need, thus meaning the exact opposite of entitled.
For the record I don't have a kid in travel baseball/softball, but we do have neice & nephew as well as many friends. 10-12 years they were spending more $$ because they were traveling further requiring hotel stays, but the last few years as "travel" ball has evolved they typically stay within an hour so of home
re: I have no idea if Kellen Moore will work out, but I love it right now
Posted by Doug_H on 2/19/25 at 5:58 am
Moore I think will be at least at above .500 after year 3. Not saying GREAT, but good enough to remain HC into year 4+. Even if you don't LOVE the hire, nobody should HATE the hire.
But I do love the staff that he has built thus far, especially for being the last HC hire he did not have first pick of the litter. But each coaching hire thus far has a resume worthy of optimism. Same as with Moore in that even if you don't LOVE the hire, nobody should HATE the hire.
Now hopefully we hire a DC today and start finishing out defensive staff hires and ST's.

Though he looked a little doughy he still did show some shiftiness and ability to make the 1st man miss in his limited time with us. I know the stories were at the beginning of the season that he was not in a good place mentally (PTSD type from his past incident) but I'm still curious as to why he did not see the field at all for KC but managed to get some playing time with us after just a week of being on the team. I know our injuries helped that, but still he did not look bad and that would not account for him not seeing the field in KC if he was not in the right state mentally there then how did that change when he got here? Just home sick?

Man, to think how completely detached from reality and/or be so blinded misguided loyalty to a party & hatred towards the opposite party that you must have to be to look all the HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars of unaccounted for or fraudulent money DOGE has found in just a couple weeks and somehow have the audacity to publicly say that DOGE will be the reason for job cuts of any kind.
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS, freaking HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS the government has taken out of our pockets. Literally stealing our money from all the damn taxes we pay. DOGE finds this out and puts it out there for the world to see, yet somehow DOGE is the enemy??? I do not get this level of idiocracy

How far are we away from making cancer less of a big deal?
My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer March 2024. We have researched tons published articles, read books, and listened podcasts. And to be clear these were not from "aunt deb" or "my friends, friends mom", these are all backed with at least some data and cited sources that we followed-up on. Some combo of Ivermectin, Fenbendazole, DMSO, & Immune Mushroom blends are cited in nearly everything we have looked into as
In some cases, most severe, chemo/radiation may be best option. But subsequently those with the most severe cases or elderly patients are the most likely to be absolutely beaten down & drained, if not killed by the treatment. It's a catch 22.
BIGGEST CHANGES we have continually come across in our research is what are we absorbing into our bodies from food, drinks, soaps, shampoo, lotion, deodorant and on. Almost everything you buy off the shelf in a grocery store has tons of ingredients in them that are there only to enhance the color & smell of the product or is a cheap fillers & preservatives, none of which are made for human consumption.
Plastics & Aluminum are 2 big ones, especially as heated in microwaves & ovens.
Plastics begin leeching into foods even at room temp of 77ºF
Foil sheets & trays begin leeching as early as 200ºF. Each amount varies with heat & duration, as well as what food/drink contents are. Foods with citric acids will cause more leeching even at lower temps.
Aluminum is found in the brain of every Alzheimer & Dimentia case. Deodorants that say "antiperspirants" contain aluminum.
Seriously look at the ingredients of everything in your shopping cart next time you are at the store and google the ingredients. We have changed out our Deodorant, Toothpaste, Body Soap, Hand Soap, Lotion, Shave Cream, Shampoo, Conditioner, Dish Soap, Laundry Detergent, Fabric Softener, Eye Drops, Candles, Plug-In Air Fresheners
