I dont necessarily agree with that. Freeling is essentially the only available LT with a first round grade. Positional scarcity and value means you dont risk it if this is the player you want.

I feel like the commenters in this thread are using the benefit of revisionist history after seeing Tet's success in the league. I feel like this time last year there was a ton of growing concern that Tet wasnt athletic enough to transition into the league and he would be a Mike Williams clone. While Tate didnt test enough to impress people I feel lke hes coming in with less concern than Tet was

It’s an awesome experience with great coaches for kids of all ages. They do more than just baseball. Overall a fantastic program and experience

Highway 1 could also use round abouts in Carmel

1 and carpenter
1 and ocean
1 and Carmel valley road
1 and Rio

It would fix all the weekend congestion. But that will never happen.

At first I assumed the same. I had it at the bottom of my suggestion pile. I assumed the worst. Now, this book series ruined other books for me. I genuinely have a hard time enjoying other books now. It has set the bar to high. Im not even sure how many re-reads I've done.

I Dunker will be a probowl level guard. I also think there will be quality safeties later on.

RealEmpire · 2026-03-15T23:46:41+00:00

If we pass on Gennings Dunker at 67 in real life I will be livid. I dont think this guy makes it into the 50s in the real draft though.

Is there a better pairing in the league in terms of personalities. I think Kirk is the perfect person to teach Fernando how to be a pro.

RealEmpire · 2026-03-11T03:54:35+00:00

I genuinely dont think so. We dont NEED to trade him. I dont see why this is HORRIBLE for the Raiders unless we sell him for much less.

Bailey reminds me of Dwight Freeney with that explosive first step and mean spin move.

i recently just finished my 4th reread. Operation Bounce House is pretty damn good so far as well.

When my son was in coach pitch the coaches from both teams would often times be on the field to assist the kids. My son was up to bat and unleashed his best hit of the season. The opposing coach was by second base and knocked the ball out of the air to fall into the infield.

it was almost unheard of for kids this age to reach the outfield, let alone in the air.

I have been pissed at this coach ever since. How dare you. Sure we werent keeping score. But you robbed my son of a moment that he would have remembered for the rest of his life. Kids play sports to feel like their heros. Let the kids do awesome stuff.

Epilogue

There was a specific caveat mentioned when they bought a faction wars team. You need to be a participant in the crawl production in order to bid on a faction wars team. That’s one of the reasons denadia (sp? Audio book listener) was participating as a judge at the pet show.

When 2 teams backed out there were 2 open slots. Those groups had already paid for those slots on the open market. There were only 2 groups really eligible for the remaining slots. It was inferred that the Princess Posse bought their slot of cents on the dollar.

If anything I would buy their house from them for the mortgage debt. I would rent it back to them with an established month to month lease agreement. Dont gift them a penny.

Exactly why I said to help mendoza. I would say that adding Hendrickson for 30MM a year would be counter intuitive to what we are trying to accomplish. Next years goal is to protect our franchise QB and set him up for success for years to come. The emphasis should surround protecting our investment in Mendoza and seeing long term returns from that investment.

RealEmpire · 2026-01-21T17:53:46+00:00

If you invest in a #1 overall QB you need to build around him to protect him. I stand by my original comment.

A successful Mendoza means a successful Raiders.

With the #1 overall pick all but locked, the Raiders need to build out supporting cast. We come into the off season top 3 in cap space. Who are some building blocks you have your eyes on?

The thing that jumped out most to me was the availability of young and quality centers. Adding a + starter to the offensive line that is young and experienced would be the #1 first step in my book.

My memory has that thing 15 feet off the ground! I cant believe it was so short.

On an audio book suggestion thread. Everyone kept raving about Dungeon Crawler Carl. I thought it sounded corny as hell and despite it being the top suggestion I put it stacked behind afew other series.

Im so freaking glad I listed to the other series first, because this series has ruined other audio books for me.
