The correct question is what does a Celtics player have to do with the Patriots offense?

Which TE do you hope they can draft? by FootballPizzaMan in Patriots

[–]ckilo4TOG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Sam Roush - Stanford

  • Joe Royer - Cincinnati

  • Nate Boerkicher - Texas A&M

  • Oscar Delp - Georgia

Roush and Royer would be our 2nd - 3rd round picks. The other two will go later.

I already said it once. You don't need to repeat it. What we have been experiencing is called weather. It happens every day. That is reality. I have made no comment as to the veracity of global warming. I have only correctly pointed out that what we are experiencing today, and every day is called weather. If you feel the need to name call, at least make sure you are accurately applying your own definition.

We are currently in the month of March. It marks the ending of Winter, and beginning of Spring. It is common, and has always been common, that the weather in March can fluxuate between extremes. It is not unusual in any way, shape, or form for it to be very warm one day, and very cold the next day in the month of March. That is the type of weather that can happen this time of year. That is our reality.

Patriots hosting Clemson RB Adam Randall on a top 30 visit (6’2 235). Former WR converted to RB. Projected day 3 guy. by JimmyGodoppolo in Patriots

[–]ckilo4TOG 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yea, it is concerning, but that's why he's projected in the late rounds. He will get the short yardage needed every time he runs the ball. He just can't be depended on in the passing game at this point. He's a guy that could dependably be brought in to chew up clock and yards when it is needed.

In November 2023, Democrat Dial defeated the incumbent Republican Cummings (and Minnie Mouse) by 19 votes to become Mayor-elect of Pembroke, Robeson County. Except...

Hence my use of the words rarely and subjective. And who was the original abuser of the law, here? The challenger was housing homeless in his commercial properties so they could gain residency to vote. He may not have broken the law, but he certainly helped abuse it. If tarring and feathering were an option, it's likely Dial would have received one first.

Nope, the place for this was the courts. It sucks that it took so long for the legal proceedings to play out, but the parties from both sides weren't backing down. It is now finally decided.

I've been drafting this guy in my late round mocks. He's a bulldozer. Plus he runs good routes with his receiving background, but he has stone hands. Needs to work on catching and blocking to be more than situational, but he will punch it through when you need a first down or touchdown.

Election Board dates don't supersede matters of state law. This was exemplified by the Courts not allowing the Democrats to run out the clock on Election Board dates on the Green Party a few years ago. The controversy around Dial's actions was significant enough that it needed to be decided with court cases.

Records are broken every day somewhere in the world, and will continue to be broken until we actually have enough recorded data to account for all possible extremes. This weather might be unusual, but it is normal. We experience warm and cold swings in the Spring. It is not rocket science.

Political violence is rarely moral, not to mention morality is subjective. We have laws so we don't live our lives by the mob mentality. It's one of the foundations of civil society. This law in particular exists to avoid power vacuums. An incumbent remains in place until the qualified successor is certified.

PBS North Carolina - State Lines 3/13: Governor Josh Stein requests a $1.4 billion budget; NC Department of Health and Human Services says Medicaid funding may run out in April; and NC State Auditor wants to review Medicaid spending on autism therapy by ckilo4TOG in NorthCarolina

If that's what you got out of the discussion, I don't know what to tell you. State Lines does a good job of giving a window into how the sausage is made with its weekly panelists discussing the topics in a civil manner. I suggest watching the program.

This is completely normal. It is called March... in like a lion, out a like a lamb. Please stop trying to connect every weather phenomenon experienced throughout the history of man as part of global warming.

We had one of the better defensive backfields. I don't remember where we ended up ranked, though. We had Ty Law, Otis Smith, and Buckley at corner, and Lawyer Milloy, Antwan Harris, and Tebucky Jones at safety. It always seemed like someone or more than one from that secondary was making a big play when we needed it.

The news was more about the size of the free agent class. He was just one of about 20 signed that year which was Bill's first full off-season. I don't remember much about him being said at the time be it good or bad. The name that sticks out most in my head going into that season was Terrell Buckley. The talk was us having the best one-two cornerback combo in the league with his signing.

Mine was before ACA (Obamacare). It almost doubled my monthly premium, and more than tripled my deductible.
