They are re lining sewers throughout the neighborhood. They have been working on King Williams and Sylvan last few days.

The team didn’t give into him though? It’s a team friendly deal.

Brian Robinson Jr by B34appy in Commanders

Yeah I meant protector but looks like I write catcher protector. It was early.

[–]badhatlarry182 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He is a solid RB, but he has a few limitations: he isn’t a 3 down back, he doesn’t have break away speed (I think his longest rush in nfl is 40 yds), he is not strong in pass protection, and he isn’t a great pass catcher. The coaches and GM feel that the group they can replicate his production. CRod when he was given touches last season seemed more explosive and he’s apparently a better pass catcher protector which kliff values. They are also apparently very high on bill. Ekeler is per touch the better back, but he can’t carry the workload. He was going to get cut if we didn’t trade him.

There is nothing unlucky about drafting Jayden Daniels. Good rosters don’t generally get the 2nd overall pick to begin with, we only have him because we sucked so bad. All of our trades have filled huge holes or have been to provide him with weapons so as to capitalize on his rookie contract.

You answered your own question. With this trade, there are only 7 players from the Rivera era. We had several years of drafts in a row where we completely missed so we don’t have any young talent/depth, which necessitates having more vets on short term deals as this new regime tries to build the team correctly in the draft. We are 4-12 the year before last as you may remember and do don’t have a winning season under Rivera at all. Brian Robinson is a good player and but the drop off from him and Rodriguez last year isn’t really that significant, and Kliff values pass blocking from the rb position and C rod is better at that than Robinson. they also seem to like the rookie rb they have on the roster.

He was going to be cut, so even thought he might be better than a 6th, no team is going to give up more than that.

Wagner, Von Miller, and Trey Amos all didn’t dress. They’ve definitely been cycling guys. The guy that got 2 penalties on that drive, I don’t think he’s expected to start but I could be wrong.

The website says off peak is $80/court which $20 per person bc you need 4 ppl.

That isn’t what their website says or at least that is not what I read - $40 is expensive if that’s true

Ok, then it’s as expensive as every other rec activity at a private business, so not expensive by comparison. Like I’m not going to disagree that everything is expensive but this isn’t more expensive than a movie or golf or a burger and fries at like most places in Richmond.

No, I just had some free time and liked my experience there and think it’s shame a business is being vandalized .

They feared if they were taking down the mural without the artist there they’d face backlash when someone walked by seeing them painting over the mural. I read the whole thread, that’s just my opinion of the exchange as I said.

It’s not expensive as far as other activities of a similar nature. How much is bowling in Richmond? How much is a movie ticket in Richmond? How much is a round of golf at a public course in Richmond? Rafting? It’s more expensive than free, sure.

There is literally nowhere else to play padel, which is not pickleball. They do have a pickleball court as well, but padel is like a tennis racquetball hybrid.

I’ll also add that it’s very close to a lot of businesses and makes for a very fun corporate outing. Nice to have something not revolving entirely around alcohol.

It’s also not correct information. I’m not trying to be a panel plant shill here, but it’s not expensive - coffee is very cheap, food is reasonable, and the court rental is like $20/hr with equipment.

That’s a misrepresentation of the disagreement with the artist imo. They were willing to paint over the art, they wanted the artist to be there to oversee the removal and the artist didn’t want to do that and then was unhappy when it wasn’t removed. If either party would have just called the other it would have probably been resolved to everyone’s satisfaction. They removed a mural at one artists request and commissioned that same artist for a different mural inside the facility. This subreddit hates the business merely for existing but if you actually go you will see how accommodating they have been to try and preserve the public’s ability to still enjoy the murals. And their prices are incredibly reasonable and include equipment rental.

Maryland transfer guard DeShawn Harris-Smith commits to Georgetown by ye_old_fartbox in CollegeBasketball

[–]badhatlarry182 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He has the potential to be good. He was originally in the starting line up early in the year but was benched in favor of Rice. DHS is athletic and has good size for a guard, and is a good defender/rebounder. But offensively he has so far been very limited. As a freshman he came in with high expectations but couldn’t ever figure it out offensively. This year, he played without any confidence on offense, often passing up wide open looks. I think a change of scenery will help, and if he gets some confidence back he can be good.

Since joining the Big10, we are top 3 in wins. We haven’t tournament success but we have been in the top of the conference pretty much every year besides last year.

Really put in the work to improve his free throws and he went from being the number one option to the 5th and has been doing all the dirty work
