Myles Jack's injury must be more serious than we thought if everyone passed on him in the first round.

I really hope last night's game does not set the tone for the entire Caps-Penguins series.  It seems like the Caps getting tired and not playing as well is their downfall every second round and I do not want that to be repeated here.  Yes we won and all, but I don't want us to slow down and let the Penguins take us out here.

Off topic but apparently websites like forbes that block users from using adblocker are seeing massive drops in traffic. It's going to be increasingly difficult to make money on the internet with advertising.

Well that's because Forbes was a real jerk about it.  I would get the full-page splash ad, then after a few seconds it would inform me that I was using an adblocker and to disable it.  If I just clicked "continue" it would reload the full page ad again and tell me to disable my ad-blocker.  Repeat ad-nauseum until I either decided to disable the blocker, or just tell them to bugger off and close the tab instead.  I now refuse to go to to their site because no article is worth reading if they're going to just deny me content because I don't want to see their ads or risk being infected with malware because they aren't properly policing their ad networks.

Doctson? Heh, enjoy dealing with the mess that is Snyderland

If Texans don't take Doctson I'll eat my hat.

Looks like you're getting some extra fiber in your diet 

Another Buckeye to the NFL? They're gonna suck next year unless they get enough quality signings, LOL

Finally a decent pick by the colts, Luck actually gets some help.

Maybe they kept Irsay out of the War Room this year :-P

Well the Colts definitely didn't go WR.

Yeah, I agree. I think it's [RT] still Wagner's job. I think Jensen or Monroe are the ones truly at risk. If I had to guess, I'd say we either trade Monroe, keep him as a depth LT, or we play Stanley at LG. I don't think we'd just cut Monroe, but eh, who knows, I guess. 

Jamison Hensley thinks that our pick spells the beginning of the end for Monroe being LT on our team.

Bomani Jones is saying Tunsil is going to be an "open box special" for some team in this draft.  I gotta think he's going to play with a chip on his shoulder and work to prove all doubters wrong.

Man that game was epic......

I loved that game, I was at a friends Xmas party and made them turn it on just so I could watch Flacco make sure we were in the playoffs that year.

Wow, Giants with a CB, well at least my boss won't be upset.  He really did not want Tunsil.

I thought we would trade back after Bosa and Ramsey went, but I'm digging our pick of Stanley

I think Stanley will make a great upgrade to our offensive line.  Just looking at the videos, his quickness will be a godsend for us because of our past problems with opening up holes for our RBs.  I'm hoping he can pick up our playbook fast enough to be a starter from day one, but if he needs some time to adjust to the NFL he will still be worth the pick.

Looks like Skip is leaving ESPN when his contract is up in August, but we're still going to have to hear his continued hatred of the Ravens as he is rumored to be moving to Fox Sports 1

As we expect after Kirk Cousins performance, RG3 will be released this offseason.

Not surprised.  I think he might be done in the NFL unless a team calls him up after the draft.

I'm trying to read through and finish The Amber Spyglass so that I can finish out the His Dark Materials trilogy, but I continue to want to throttle the author at times.

Quick everyone, they called for snow so run out and buy up all the milk, bread, eggs, and toilet paper that you can stuff in your carts!

Some Browns fans are petitioning the NFL to have them move their team to Los Angeles, which the Rams,  Raiders, and Chargers already have done. 

 

I have a suggestion for them, it might hurt in the beginning but it may end the curse.  Put Art Modell in the Hall of Fame. 

I really wish that the Cleveland sports writers would just swallow their pride and let Art get into the Hall of Fame.  The current Browns have shown that it is not because Art moved the team that made them bad, their leadership in the FO is just terrible at decision making.

Cutthroat Kitchen cracks me up.

Yeah. That and Cut Thoat. My family watches those every week.

I am convinced that Cutthroat Kitchen is Alton Brown finally embracing his evil side after years of being nice.

David Bowie passed away:

Farewell to a great musician.

I can't stop listening to this cover.  David nails the haunting quality of the words.

Watching Redskins fans reacting to them making the Super Bowl would be hilarious though, that and all the ones coming out of the woodwork.

I wonder how many of them will be going to Fedex for the first time this Sunday wearing a brand new Cousins jersey while claiming they were fans all along.

Well it looks like Calvin Johnson is heading down the Barry Sanders route. Reports say Calvin is thinking about retiring and that a decision will made soon.

Shame that if he does retire, he wasted it in Detroit without a chance to ever play for the Super Bowl or even on a good team.

Too bad about Megatron.  Part of me was hoping maybe he would jump to another team and have a better season than he did this past season.

After reading the final chapters of The Queen of Attolia, Le Petit Nicolas, c'est Noël and the Bible in the last hours of 2015, I brought my count for the year up to a shameful 43. (Plus two unabridged audiobooks)

Maybe I should make a reading resolution for 2016.

Does anyone else keep a count of how many books they read?

I have an account on GoodReads and I use their app to keep track of the books I have read and the books I want to read.  They do let you set up a reading challenge for the number of books read for the year.  I fell short this past year, reading only 24 books out of my goal of 25, but I plan to do better this year.
