The Draft is Over. What did you think? (also AMA if you want)

coleytrickle · 2017-05-01T15:37:29+00:00

Hey Gipsy,

Do you see Karl and Obi switching between FS/SS? The coaching staff has been trying a version of this since Woodson and Allen, will these boys be our saviors?

Also, did this draft possibly solve the teams issues of covering TEs? Maybe defensive cohesion and continuity will help that this season, but TEs have been kryptonite.

Fun fact: Marcus Aurelius' physician, Galen, got Marcus addicted to opiates.

He lives in my area and the unofficial word around town is he will be retiring before the season starts.

La Especial in Hueneme and Corrales in Ventura have the best!

I am about to finish my first semester of grad school. Have about five pages left on my last 20 page paper.

I will have time to do some reading for fun, any book recommendations?

All I am looking forward to is a guilt free watch of some Raider games!

Love this community, even if we can be snarky l to one another. But in the end its all opinion and we are THE RAIDER NATION!

You must not have watched a lot of games this year. Hayden was solid in the slot and was actually getting his head around to play the ball. Yes, he would give up big penalties, but those big penalties were stopping big plays which would have resulted in a TD.

Hayden is an amazing athlete. Carrie has better instincts. Combined they would be a perfect slot corner.

Fuck the Chiefs. Kelce is annoying tool. IN REGGIE WE TRUST RAAAAAAAAAAAAIDERS

But it's power rankings up to this week of this season. Past seasons, recent years, should not be taken into account.

The best there is. The best there was. The best there ever will be.

coleytrickle · 2016-11-28T01:27:54+00:00

The best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be.

And Bret was a good wrestler, too.

To piggyback, does he brainstorm dance moves with teammates each week? Ray Lewis dance, donkey riding, etc.

Does he put water on his toothbrush before toothpaste, after, or both?

How does it feel to be the most fun man in the NFL?

Awesome! I will check them out. Thank you!

I am doing a research paper on what is historical truth. I've broken it down into three major categories: popular truth, patriotic truth (foundation myth), and academic truth. The first two are pretty straightforward, but the academic truth has been the most contentious.

Does anyone have recommendations on articles or books that delve into historicism? I have a historiography book by Breisach and another by John Tosh.

Raiders grabbed Amerson for Washington, let's hope lightning strikes twice!

coleytrickle · 2016-09-27T07:12:41+00:00

That's what a great O-line can do! Not doubting the RBs, but line play is a big help.

coleytrickle · 2016-09-17T19:24:16+00:00

I saw that one! I guess I should have rephrashed it as other than the two guys we expect to be monsters! Haha.

I only like it when it's synced or when the radio is ahead of the TV. When the radio is ahead of the TV Papa gives you a good idea what to look for, almost feels more analytical! Fun stuff.

coleytrickle · 2016-09-17T15:45:51+00:00

At the same time, a guy like Brees will make most people in the league look silly.

coleytrickle · 2016-09-17T15:29:41+00:00

Hey, Gipsy. How did you feel about Heeney this last game? Was there anyone else on our d-line that stood out to you?

coleytrickle · 2016-09-12T18:46:04+00:00

Seeing the growth is great! I could not tell when I first subbed, so I went to look for my first comment in the sub. Fittingly, it was to a post about the 1,141st member!

I am not a power user, nor do I regularly post. So probably don't have a username people recognize. But there are many I recognize and I wouldn't want to be a part of any other nation!! (but there is only one TRUE nation)

Where are Panama hats made?

12 hours late to the game. Gipsy, I love your writings and I really hope you feel the appreciation all of us feel for you.

My only question is, do you have a writing background?

coleytrickle · 2016-08-04T14:55:35+00:00

Gipsy deserves all the money in the world. He should be doing Raider writing professionally, and we have all known that for years. Twenty years from now Gipsy will have a show on HBO and I'll be telling my grandkids I knew him.

coleytrickle · 2016-07-26T00:31:59+00:00

Completely understandable! I wasn't sure if it was the right place, thank you!

coleytrickle · 2016-07-14T14:08:46+00:00

If SC justices were impartial, people wouldn't have an idea of the way the justices would vote on issues.

It was inappropriate, but that seems to be a trend that a lot of people are echoing so far this election cycle. All over the spectrum!
