    The 2024 Draft

    The quality of the players that are drafted matters. The quality of the coaching those players receive also matters, quite a lot. When Dante Scarnecchia was the Oline coach, no one paid much attention to which players on the line were drafted or when they were taken. It didn't really matter...

    Are you happy with the Drake Maye pick?

    Playing well against 18-22 year-olds is one thing - stepping up your game when you're playing against fully grown men with a decade of professional experience is another. Some QBs make that transition, and some don't. A few make it look easy, but most struggle. You really don't know, until...

    RIP Dickie Betts

    Yes. That same article I read said that the song "Jessica" was written when Dickey Betts was watching his daughter at play. She was just jumping around and in a happy mood, and he tried to capture that in the song that he named for her.

    Song: Dreams Artist: The Allman Brothers Written by Gregg Allman when he was 19 years, but a nice tribute to Dickey Betts, I think.

    RIP Dickie Betts

    Back story: I read somewhere that Dickey Betts wrote this when he was sneaking off with Boz Scaggs's girlfriend, whose name translated to "Blue Sky." I don't know if it's true, but it's a good story.

    Anybody Know Any Good Jokes?

    Husband: How come you never tell me when you have an orgasm? Wife: You told me not to call you when you're at work.

    The Golf thread

    I've never been a Tiger Woods fan, but he showed some character this week. His body is broken and he can't compete with the best players anymore, but rather than withdrawing after a horrible third round, he gutted it out on Sunday and finished last overall of the people that made the cut. I...

    Song: Late To The Party Artist: Andrew Synowiec We went to Lost Chord again last night - it's a small venue in Solvang, CA that features local artists. Andrew Synowiec is very talented - sometimes he sounded like Pat Metheny, other times he sounded like Al Di Meola or Frank Zappa. At one...

    Your Moment of Zen

    Ah, yes, the eclipse. Back from the shadows again. Out where an Injun's your friend. Where the vegetables are green, and you can pee right into the stream (And that's important!), We're back from the shadows again.
