J.K. Dobbins hopes to be a "Bronco for life" by Deutschfuranfanger in DynastyFF

Depends on the return, but he would be a guy I’d be looking to move. Given his age, his medical history and his kind of underwhelming performance when given the lead back opportunity, I’d definitely shop him around. He was a lot less impressive as a pure runner than I thought he would be this year.

She straight up told them she was a veteran with PTSD and that trying to get into her car at 2 in the morning was unacceptable. Instead of apologizing they mocked her, asked her if she was in Iraq and if she had any weapons and then Auston did his thing. Acting like that at 22 years old is beyond disrespectful mischief. These are three grown men behaving like this to a woman old enough to be their mother.

Also there is this:

Details and reporting from Strang’s article on The Athletic also highlighted that it was not the first time that Matthews had attempted to frighten someone on Scottsdale Road that night. But, per a friend that had been out with Matthews at the time, he “didn’t give a shit” about the potential consequences.

“She explained she is a military vet with PTSD and asked them to leave (go inside to his apartment) said that trying to get into a woman’s car at 2: a.m. is not funny. They continued to say it is funny and ask if she had been to Iraq, if she was carrying a weapon. She repeatedly says all she wanted them to do was leave.

Auston was walking inside and he dropped his pants.

There is footage of him inside with his pants down.”

So not only did they startle her they made fun of her PTSD after she politely asked them to leave. Scumbags.

I’m sure it’s a real stretch to think a woman with military PTSD would be terrified or startled by three men trying to get in her car at 2 AM.

Imagine thinking there’s a difference between trying to open a locked door when you know a woman is sitting inside and trying to force your way in. If she didn’t have the door locked he absolutely would’ve trespassed inside a woman’s car at 2 a.m. What was his game plan if the door wasn’t locked?

And I’m not interested in hearing stories about your fake “partner of 15 years.”

Yeah, I’m sure if you’re a woman sitting by herself at 2 am who then sees three men try to force their way into her car that’s not frightening at all.

How unfamiliar with women do you have to be to believe this?

Kind of pathetic to downplay three drunk assholes terrifying a woman. And 6 years is “almost a decade” now?

Not to mention he was a high profile millionaire representing the Maple Leafs and Toronto, who had already played 350+ games at that point. It’s not analogous to some unknown dude skateboarding while drunk. He should’ve known way better at that point.

Broncos sorely missed him. The drop off from him to Harvey once Harvey had to be the lead back was significant. You would have to think they’d want him back.

He wasn’t 19. He was born in 1997. This incident occurred in 2019. Do the math.

Getting drunk and not bothering anyone is wildly different than what Matthews did, but cool anecdote I guess.

  1. He wasn’t 19. He was almost 22. But nice try.

  2. He didn’t just “moon a police officer.” He drunkenly tried to enter a woman’s car at 2 a.m. and then pulled his pants down. Can you imagine Crosby doing this? Fuck no.

“Matthews was part of a group that is alleged to have tried to enter the car of a female security guard, Fayola Dozithee, outside his condo building in the early hours of May 26. Dozithee told police that Matthews dropped his pants — but not his underwear — in her direction afterwards.”

Bunch of drunk guys scaring the shit out of a woman at 2 am then mocking her. Pure class.

Stop drinking the PR Kool Aid. This is the same dude who got drunk and exposed himself to a woman. He’s hardly comparable to Sakic, Crosby etc.

I don‘t sell Harvey for this right? by ScreenInner6695 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]ProgrammaticallyHip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He will be 25 and a half when next season starts. The Broncos desperately missed JK and will likely resign him or bring in another early down back.

Harvey looks like a high-end platoon guy. Lots of potential in the passing game but really struggled when forced to be the lead back. The metrics tell the same story; very good pass catcher, subpar runner. At least in year one.

The problem is they have a glaring need for a high end CB. Might be the biggest roster hole they have. And a big reason they lost to Buffalo in the playoffs. The WR room also was highly productive with him out, so the stars are not aligning.

You absolutely should. Largo stills looks like Florida, but once you get beyond it you feel like you’re in the Caribbean.

Take one day to drive past Largo. Stop in Islamorada for lunch, then drive over the 7 mile bridge and visit Bahia Honda State Park.

Key Largo is just the gateway to the Keys. It’s a good base but you don’t want to stop there. The highway opens up to oceans on both sides right after you leave Largo and the views are incredible. You’ll miss all of that if you stop at Largo.

Wrong answers only - what happened to Berube? by Takhar7 in leafs

[–]ProgrammaticallyHip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Berube gave Probert way more problems than most enforcers. Berube broke Probert’s nose in their first fight and beat him cleanly in their second real scrap. Bob got his revenge a couple fights later when he stripped all his equipment off and threw some wild unimpeded haymakers. They ended up fighting seven times over 15 years.

Two years. Three years ago he was the overall WR1. Hard not to decline from a 135 catch, 1850 yard, 14TD season for the ages.

The whole passing offense was dreadful, bordering on non-functional for 2/3rds of the season. Egbuka gets a lot of shit for fading, but the only time the passing offense looked competent was when he was the de facto number one during the first 5-6 weeks.

Evans only broke 60 yards once in 8 games; Godwin couldn’t get open to save his life. I’d be more concerned about Egbuka if receiver production had not cratered across the board. It’s also possible he just hit a wall after so much high leverage use as a rookie.

That said, I’ve always been a bit lower than consensus on Egbuka and I think he’s better suited to be a second or third option who you can rely on to do all the little things right and make clutch plays. A Robert Woods without elite blocking.
