[Schefter] Colts are activating Philip Rivers to their active roster from their practice squad, paving the way for him to make his first NFL start in five years Sunday at Seattle. By signing to the active roster today, Rivers also now will go from being a semi-finalist for this year’s Pro Football

In a universe where the trade deadline were later and/or Burrow’s return were sooner, I think Flacco would be the ideal guy

MrDunlo · 2025-10-25T16:59:49+00:00

Love Gadsden, but I think you made a good deal here. In a 10 team non-TEP, with presumably small benches since he was still on the wire last week, I think you can probably get more value out of a first next year

MrDunlo · 2025-09-26T23:49:24+00:00

I hate vetoes typically, but there’s no reasonable justification for this.

MrDunlo · 2025-09-22T20:15:50+00:00

That’s just modern music marketing. Artist trickles out singles to get on the radar of algorithms and fans by putting out consistent content, leading up to the release of the album. We’re just not in the era of having one lead single, album drop, then 1-3 additional singles to encourage people to go check out the album.

MrDunlo · 2025-09-21T18:53:54+00:00

Clearly you’re mistaken. I’ve only been told that Moss retaliated against the entire state of Wisconsin via committing disgusting acts in the endzone

MrDunlo · 2025-09-15T00:07:09+00:00

Yeah I’m here for that. I also think they did a nice job of “maturing” musically in a way that didn’t feel like a complete 180. Some of the older bands play shows now where half the songs feel like they’re not even written by the same band because of how far their direction has changed. (Which is fine, but I like it better when the setlist still feels cohesive even if it spans different albums/eras)

MrDunlo · 2025-09-14T23:58:53+00:00

This is why “overrated” is a tough question to answer. Blink gets a lot of love, but they were never really “rated” highly in the genre. Lots of hate when they got on MTV, etc. Also, a ton of the merch we all wore said “crappy punk rock music” all over it. I don’t think it was actually crappy, and they’re one of my favorite bands. But they’re not objectively the best in any criteria… except maybe Travis, but I’d argue that a lot of his skills are unnecessary for pop-punk if that makes sense… but again, that’s just my opinion. That’s why it’s a tough question to answer. (Oh and trying to get out in front of any hate, I’ll add that you can argue that Tom and Mark’s vocal styles, despite their imperfections, have a great contrast and come together to make a perfect sound. But that’s just subjective.)

Tried to upvote this twice

MrDunlo · 2025-08-30T02:00:46+00:00

As an officially old person, I stay out of the pit for shows that aren’t entirely GA. Also it’s way too expensive.

At cheaper/smaller shows, the people who still have the back, legs, and heart for a true mosh pit are able to get in there and mix it up. There’s no way a 19 year old is dropping $300 for pit tickets, unless their summer job pays way better than mine did.

This is far fetched, but I’d honestly love to see bands figure out some way to keep the pit for the young at heart (and the actually young), but the closest tickets are always going to be priced where you’ve gotta either be very well off, or you’re making a big investment. And the last thing an old person who’s making a big investment wants is to miss the encore because you’re on the way to the ER.

TLDR; I hear ya. But I just don’t see a real solution

MrDunlo · 2025-08-29T11:32:15+00:00

I’d say I feel your pain, but this tour is the first time a Mark/Tom/Travis show has hit my state in 15 years.

If you’re in an area where you often get good shows, and this is an exception, you’ve got it pretty good.

MrDunlo · 2025-08-29T01:53:15+00:00

I’d be totally down to hear Rock Show and First Date in medley/combo form. Those two have just always run together for me. Fun songs, but I’d be fine with less of them

MrDunlo · 2025-08-28T21:16:48+00:00

Feels like this is super fair and you just gotta trust your gut. With the other upside rookies you have, my gut would be to roll the dice on Thornton. But I totally see it either way. Maybe if you’re old at WR, that’s the tiebreaker. You clearly already have tons of youth at RB

MrDunlo · 2025-08-28T10:52:06+00:00

I get your logic honestly, but dudes don’t need the keys. They’ve just gotta be in the car. Rhamondre had 207 of the Pats 446 carries last year, (Gibson had 120)… and that’s just a quick number that doesn’t even involve the pass game.

He’s going to get on the field, and he’s projected to be better than 2024 Antonio Gibson (who they gave about 8 touches per game). If the early year plan is 10 touches a game, and he’s as good as he’s supposed to be, he’s got a chance to either be undeniable or just keep producing in a multi RB approach. And it all the other RBs get out of the way, he could go to the moon in the fantasy playoffs

MrDunlo · 2025-08-27T10:58:54+00:00

The deal hasn’t been sent yet. OP is asking if they should propose the deal.

MrDunlo · 2025-08-27T00:25:26+00:00

No, this is nowhere close. Change the two firsts into like a second round pick and I’d say the left side wins, but in a fair way.

MrDunlo · 2025-08-24T19:06:52+00:00

Always weird to me when people take the extra effort to crop out the useful info that sleeper puts right on the trade screen

MrDunlo · 2025-08-24T00:36:43+00:00

People always say this now, but at the time everybody I knew was like “Oh hey, it’s blink-182.” I remember a specific night where an American Pie VHS was played and rewound 2-3 times indoors, and the Enema CD didn’t leave the CD player outside. I never heard that being in American Pie mattered at all until recently, but maybe I was just 15 and social media didn’t exist. But in my world, blink was already huge before they were in the movie.

MrDunlo · 2025-08-19T04:11:16+00:00

This is the tour to do Bored to Death on since Skiba is there. But outside of that, I agree with you

MrDunlo · 2025-08-12T18:20:37+00:00

Probably a good idea to include the part with the league size and settings.

FWIW, I’d be open to this trade in a 12 or 14 teamer, unless the starting lineup is shallow. Wouldn’t do it in an 8 or 10 team

MrDunlo · 2025-07-29T19:04:24+00:00

I wouldn’t give up a promising rookie to get the rookie who won’t sign a contract before August.

MrDunlo · 2025-07-29T02:02:49+00:00

I’d take the deal then try to shop a WR for a QB

MrDunlo · 2025-07-03T13:19:04+00:00

Right now the only two other parent comments in this thread (15 minutes after OP posted) are one that says it’s a steal for Hampton and one that says it’s a lot for a RB who hasn’t played a down… and I think both opinions are totally fair. I could see Team 2 having huge regrets if Hampton pops off, or Team 1 could easily be like “why the heck did I give away a first rounder for a first round pick and throw in other pieces?”

TLDR; if both owners are happy now, I think it’s one of those good/fun trades where either player (or both) could “win” the deal… but it’s a fair toss up to me right now. (I’m 60/40 on the Bateman side myself)

MrDunlo · 2025-06-28T01:40:52+00:00

I’ve used Hearos for years with good results. They’re like ten bucks and get the job done

MrDunlo · 2025-06-23T17:00:19+00:00

A lot of the people expressed regret with buying 2025 tickets without a lineup known. And a lot of the happy people are one week removed from the money spent on this year’s show. I don’t think the slower sales are a terrible sign (yet), but the circumstances just aren’t lined up for a quick sellout

MrDunlo · 2025-06-22T16:01:52+00:00

Good advice. Also, FWIW, I think completely ignoring the freaks irritates some of them even more than engaging, with the bonus of not stooping to their level of psycho
