re: We gotta take change the culture.

Rockstars, pop stars are what feed these disgusting vile POSs. Gotta call them out. Not idolize these dbags.
It’s a war on culture. The left doesn’t lean on Jesus. They lean on Lennon, Dylan, etc.



What a bunch of BS. Rockstars/Pop Stars, how old are you, 80.

American society is already broken, the effects is just reaching politicians more now. Look at whats going on
- People attack the capital & are called patriots & eventually pardoned.
- Trump assassination attempt
- Pelosi husband attacked (Kirk even called for some patriot to bail him out).
- Healthcare CEO assassinated
- 2 Minnesota dem congressman & their spouse gunned down (one set lives, the other dies)
- CDC shot up with officer killed
- Too many school shootings to mention

Those that for a long time with a few exceptions (Reagan, Gabby Gifford) that were thought to be next to untouchable is now as much a target as anybody else.

Then you social media (where the modern day influencers reside, not pop or rock stars (sorry Taylor). Their livelihood are made stoking the flames in an us or them war like scenario on a daily basis repeated over & over again.

It's a mess, a death spiral that I don't see an escape from anytime soon. He will not be the last Republican, & there will be more Democrats.

We just traded one of the best mentors in the NBA who had almost 0 impact on our younger guys. Poole and Murray have been in the league +7 years. Herb, Trey, Zion will be +5 this season. With all of that being said I think we should 100% focus on talent/ best available and not "mentors".



I was also only talking about Missi & Queen.
I was also referring to an on-court mentor.
I really don't have much use for the locker room guy right now, kind of who they got in Looney though.

I am just really really hoping that somehow this takes the Lakers out for Lopez and we have a chance to overpay.


Lopez would be nice, good mentor for our young bigs with a little bit still left in the tank. Ayton, not so much even though he has talent.

Script writers went to work those last couple innings. Bringing on the writers of The "Naked Gun" movies for the bottom of the 9th was a bold choice that will be remembered forever. Pure cinema that I would never believe in an actual movie.
Did at the time & still am fine with the player swap portion of the trade if you eliminate the New Orleans injury curse.
Did at the time believe we were getting the short end of the stick pick wise because I saw how good a fit he would be next to Trae (he even exceeded my expectations). Thank goodness Lakers were good this year.

The problem with him staying here is building a team around Zion (non-shooter) with Herb (non-shooter) & Trey (shooter) without a stretch big or a PG. Many ways that combo could work as long as Zion was swapped out for a PF who could shoot a bit.
If he really had a high ankle sprain that he played through this past season he may be underrated on the draft boards we are seeing. Sounds like teams are much higher on him than draft gurus.
I'd be OK with it even though drafting Williams reminds me of all the failures trying to address the position.

re: Just let Taysom Hill QB

I don't even know if he's playing next season. Saints haven't touched his $10M base pay (no pay cut or restructure). Highest base pay on the team by a few million, 2nd highest cap number on the team. Wouldn't surprise he he is contemplating retirement or if the Saints are leaving the door open for a draft day trade
Giving up a 3rd round pick for the 3rd best prospect in the draft seems like a small price if he can be a disrupter similar to Jalen Carter.

Still don't see the Saints doing it. Loomis is not a talent evaluator or decision maker, he's a facilitator. Can't imagine Kellen Moore pushing for this, don't think Jeff Ireland has the sway to convince Loomis to make this move. I'd rather see Graham drafted Top 5, would hate to have to face him two times a year with Carolina.
Ben Johnson locked up Dennis Allen right after he was fired not knowing what team it would be for.
I would guess Moore is already informally working on his staff.
Probably Rizzi, if not him it might be former Saint Chris Banjo who is the Broncos assistant ST coach (49ers already interviewed him for their opening).

They will be in cap hell for 3 more years when they cut Cousins and his guaranteed money.


Not really, the one thing I credit Fontenot for is cleaning their cap. They can take the $40 million hit next year & still be under the cap going into the off-sason. They can take a $25 million cap hit the following year without any cap troubles also. They're just going to miss out on what they could've gotten with that additional cap space. Saints on the other hand :banghead:
He committed $90 million to a 36 year old coming off an Achilles injury while intending to draft a QB in the top 10 picks. If that was the plan they could've went bargain basement with Sam Darnold or Justin Fields until Pennix was ready, both have been better QB's.

People didn't think the Pennix pick was dumb on it's on but dumb because of the Cousins acquisition.

If Nussmeier stays he should probably stay. If Nussmeier leaves he may want to play with a more experienced QB his senior year (that could eventually mean LSU, but maybe not).

Wtf do you consider clutch time you are skewing numbers in your favor


Clutch time is clutch time with an actual definition. The numbers are the numbers.

"Clutch time is the final five minutes of the fourth quarter or overtime when the score is within five points."
He thought he had Mahomes & that he was going to drop right in his lap until Chiefs jumped in front of him. After how that turned out I understand him being overly cautious on a QB he likes in the first round.

re: We miss Josh Hart

Miss him but having Hart would've stunted Herb & Trey's development.
Miss NAW too but I think he needed to go through that journey to get where he is now.

That gotta mean he got a promise from someone. He started out in the portal and suddenly declares.



He's still in the portal. He can still drop out of the draft. In the end once he gets some feedback I have a feeling that's what he is going to do unless he does have a promise.
Doubt it.

Winston wants a chance to be a starter, Carr can have a leg amputated & Allen would give him the start over Winston the following week.

Kubiak probably wants a backup that'll fit a quick pass philosophy, Winston is not that.

If it was just about good vibes & being a good locker room guy Winston would be a lifer.

I prefer the Houston OC Slovik right now. When in doubt go with the offensive guy, a lot easier to find & keep a good DC.

re: Cardell Hayes guilty again

Will Smith and his entourage caused this, but Cardell is still guilty.

If the roles are reversed, Smith walks.


Disagree:
If Will chased him down, confronted him, & ended up shooting him in the back several times he's in jail right now.
On the other hand, if Will shot him after being chased down & confronted, he would walk. Same for Hayes if it played out that way.
