Some would curl your hair.  Here's one from quite a while back: Without going into detail, we once had a persistent player stalker.  It was so bad it eventually had to get bumped up to Team Security.  We have seen craziness beyond belief.

Once again I apologize for this.  I didn't realize my thing with Kyle Boller was considered stalking.  

Team Security couldn't have been nicer though.  They didn't realize that Boller had such a dedicated stalker....er....fan.

34,000 posts purerock?  are you "Supertolerator"?  the purpleflock site has huge potential hope folks sign up.

Yea, I signed up in year 1 on New Years Eve 2007.  I wasn't one of the original posters but one of the few older members who actually stuck around.  Spent way too much time in game threads.  I haven't posted as much recently because I got old and busy.  

Not sure if anyone ever passed me for most posts.    

Since this ship is sinking, I am going down in the Movie Thread!  Some last movie recommendations to de-honor the end........

Melancholia (2011) - Yes, the end of the MB is sad. Deal with it.  You are powerless.

The Day After (1983) / Testament (1983) - This double feature proves that even if you survive the bombing of the boards, the aftermath will get you.  

A Boy and His Dog (1975) - After the MB shuts down all that is left is a boy and his dog played by Don Johnson.  

World of Tomorrow (2015) - This short examines what is the meaning of life.  A question we all must ponder now that the MB is gone.

The Mist (2007) - Best ending ever, perhaps this is the answer for the boards shutting down.

This is the End (2013) - It surely is. Might as well laugh about it.  Just watch out for Satan late at night.

Agreed.  I think all of us can admit they've been a hard team to watch at times in the last 4-5 years.  Hard to generate interest when a team is coming off of the Super Bowl high and doesn't maintain that level of play.

Several seasons like that will only leave the die hards still standing. And even their activity will decline.  

Devil's advocate.  But the decline in registrations, posts, and activity might go hand and hand with the product that is being put out on the field.  Hard to generate new users and generate heavy activity when the product is average. 

In the seasons we were going to the playoffs every year and won a Super Bowl there was a lot more activity.  Things to get excited about and generate interest.  New fans were coming out of the woodwork.

Where do you get the scores?  I thought they were supposed to be confidential.

They typically get leaked if someone scores really high or really low.  

Siragusa seems like a Harbaugh pick.  High character but plays with a nasty side.

He did play at SDSU, which isn't exactly world renowed for football. 

 

That being said, I think we got a steal here. I had Siragusa going the top of round three. 

Yea, I think its the fact he was facing off against lesser competition.  A lot of the scouting reports talked about his lack of athleticism.  But then he put up good combine numbers.  So there is definitely steal potential here.  With some better quality coaching, we could unlock something.  

Bengals going crazy heavy on offense.

It's crazy how Steelers, Bengals, and Browns are going more dynamic on offense.  Adding weapons left and right.  We are going in the opposite direction and loading up on D.  

Really happy about the Sirgausa pick.  He was one of the solid talents left on the OL.  We add Mangold, move Lewis to RT and we are looking pretty solid.  Just lacking depth.

Why does everyone hate on Wormley? Hes a solid pick in the 3rd. Not much bust factor there

I actually liked Wormley.  I just think he's the odd man out when we pick all defense with some splash players.  He's the weakest link to complain about.

LOL saw this tweet on Twitter. Gotta love the opposite perspective between us and Steelers fans.

You over sensitive Steeler fans kill me. The Steelers only 2 picks in and y'all already saying they don't want to address the defense, SMH

But they did address the Defense.  They drafted Watt in the 1st.  We actually have a gripe, we have four picks and have yet to touch the offense.

vanderdoes to the raiders has to be the biggest reach so far

I wouldn't say he's a reach.  They are drafting him on potential.  The guy has a crazy motor but his injury really derailed his 2016 season.  He just wasn't the same player.  

If Vanderdoes can get his weight down and back to pre-injury form, he could be a massive steal here in the 3rd.  

Carl Lawson has really dropped.  Some were talking about him in the 1st.

Call Q Ozzie

Yea, its almost automatic that Boldin is coming back now, isn't it?

Antonio Garcia would have been a nice addition.  Another great pick by the late players. 

Man, I am still not over the Falcons blowing the SB lead against the Pats.  Pisses me off everytime I think about it.

I cannot express how excited I am with this draft. The Humphrey and wormley picks, by themselves, aren't sitting well with me, but adding in bowser and rivers and it makes sense. We aren't playing anymore. 4th quarter leads are done being blown, by any means necessary we're gonna completely destroy every opposing offense. Marlon Humphrey will never show a weakness because he has every competitive edge a corner could ask for lmao. This defense is going to be absolutely ridiculous. 

Even with all the talent.  If the offense can't rest the D, they will still be dead tired to hold 4th quarter leads.

This draft could be a message to Pees. Make us a number one D or go away

Or could be a message to Flacco. If you want help, take a pay cut

There, I think I got both memes

Well if Pees fails.  They are all going down with him this year.  Ozzie and Harbs must figure that the D is the best path to salvation.  

Man, I hate watching other teams surround their QBs with players.  Look at that lineup for Tampa.  Evans, Jackson, OJ Howard.  Insane.  

The Patriots enter the party with a boom.  They are just so damn good at this offseason game.  Brandin Cooks, Stephen Gilmore.  Now Derek Rivers.

Washington having a very good draft.

Yea they are.  Really impressed actually.  Staying put and making solid picks.  Can't go wrong double dipping on Bama boys.  

44 picks until we are up next?  That's a long time.  

Yes, while Tim Williams is great addition on the field.  You have to worry about giving that guy money.
