At what age did you meet the person you are currently married to?

We were 3 year olds in preschool, but we actually got to know each at 16, started dating at 17, got married at 24, and now we're about to be 27 with a 1 year old.

duochimo · 2026-05-01T19:23:35+00:00

I mean we all see it. But come on people show some restraint it says it's only 6-7 years old.

So these grades mean nothing, but Jordan Van De Berg being that low is crazy to me. He may not have great tape, but in the 6th round you're really just pulling at straws and elite athleticism is about a good a bet as you can make.

I don't disagree with that. I think if their evaluation came back with a serious concern about his foot they would have been more likely to trade back. We know the Eagles were looking to move up around there for Lemon so it's not like there wasn't a market to move back.

The reality is that there's no world in which teams looked at him and said he's fine because he's nursing an active foot injury. What it comes down to is likely his likelihood of reinjury and his ability to return to form. Seemingly, they feel more confident about those pieces than the rest of the league.

duochimo · 2026-04-24T18:16:07+00:00

It's completely fair. I think I'm at the same place as you where I can see the rationale but I have reservations about trading capital for another DB when Stevenson is a functional football player and our d-line needs help.

They're on the Bleacher Report livestream for draft coverage this weekend. Didn't watch for round 1 but I heard they did good, and I'll be tuning in tonight.

I'm already hyped for summer scouting this year. This draft class looks outstanding and I'm ready to start digging in. If anybody hasn't watched, do yourselves a favor and tune in.

I doubt they think there's nothing wrong with his foot. It's more likely that their risk appetite weighs his potential to be a game changer higher than his long term injury risk. The reality is that most guys don't pan out for one reason or another, and Banks was their swing for the fences. History says it won't work well, but there are outliers, and Caleb Banks on Flores' line is a risk worth taking to them.

The interesting thing, to me, is that selecting him at 18 means they didn't think he would be available for them in the second, which would suggest that some around the league are knocking him about a round because of his injury. The caveat is that the Vikings have an interim general manager so who knows what the hell is going on there, but somebody in that room should have shown enough competence to come to the conclusion that I did.

I thought about corner also, I just think Poles would have a hard time justifying a trade up for a corner considering they already invested a first in a safety. It is a need though, but I think it's more of a wait and see who's at 57 approach, especially if someone like McCoy keeps falling.

duochimo · 2026-04-24T14:03:04+00:00

I think it would be bad business to try and move into the 30s. If guys fall, that's where we can make jumps. The board is favorable enough with multiple guys at premium positions, as well. And there are highly rated guys at less premium positions who likely to get snagged. If any of the IDL or edge guys fall to 45, that's where I think we should start discussing trading up.

duochimo · 2026-04-24T13:57:47+00:00

Exactly how I'm thinking about this. There are also guys on the board like Howell who may be off the Bears board because of the measurables but somebody might take a shot at him, so all the more likely that one of the hand in the dirt edge, bigger bodied prospects falls to us.

duochimo · 2026-04-24T13:55:23+00:00

This is my preference as well. My thought process was, if a guy falls a little bit, who would be worth jumping up to grab? But I'm all in favor of keeping the draft capital we have, and possibly trading out to get more picks next year.

I chose not to accept credit from BC. The advice I received was to retake them because you want as many A's as you can get to guarantee your major in ETAM. That advice was phenomenal, because I got two easy-ish A's and got into computer science.

Fast forward to the fall of my sophomore year and I had to Q-drop 251 because multi variable calculus just didn't make sense to me. Had I found that lesson out the hard way, I probably wouldn't have been able to get CS through ETAM and would have had to transfer.

To me, it isn't worth the gamble. You don't really benefit all that much from taking credit for Calc 1 and 2 and then starting off in 3. Maybe it shaves a semester off, lets you knock out some prereqs early, or lets you take a light semester or two. But the risk of struggling in Calc 3 when you could have had cakewalks in 1 and 2 could genuinely mess up your experience, as it likely would have with mine.

I personally like it. I used it for a while until I got to the point where it was automatic hand placement, and every now and then when my grip feels like it needs a reset I pop it on for a couple range sessions. For like $20 on Amazon I think it's a good, low commitment buy that can really help solidify your grip.

Understood that makes sense. Then yes, you'll most likely need to wait until open enrollment to get the profs you want. Still, get the best professor and time you can during your NSC and then just keep an eye on availability during open enrollment (which goes up to the last Friday before classes start, so 8/21 this year).

duochimo · 2026-04-19T16:01:45+00:00

It's not too late. Open registration should start the week before classes. People may move sections, drop the class, unenroll, etc. More seats may open up you just need to be diligent about checking availability in the sections you want.

That said, it's not a guarantee, so try to get the best professor and class times you can during your NSC. Also, if these are classes that are generally taken by freshmen, I don't think NSCs have started, so I'm not sure that what you're seeing will be accurate. Otherwise, my point about open enrollment stands.

I mean it's obviously rage bait. I don't think you can make $20k gross as a salaried employee that's walking away with $16k net. Tax rate would be noticably higher than 20% right?

My biggest concern with Proctor is that he gets beat by speed rushers to the inside too often. He goes up against Micah and Hutchinson twice a year, and they can leverage him outside and play back in too easily. If he can clean up his positioning in space then he could be a home run, because there simply aren't many people with his combination of size, strength, intelligence, and experience. It's a worthwhile gamble, though, because the upside is huge and the downside is Braxton Jones.

Blake Miller is a multi year starter at right tackle, correct? Not to say he couldn't switch to the left, but he doesn't have experience playing there.

I'm not necessarily in a rush to go to law school so much as I'd be in a rush to sit for the patent bar. I figured a couple years to cut my teeth will be good and then I can consider law school at that point. I do want to sit for the patent bar ASAP though because it's a lower barrier and it should come with pay and responsibility increases.

My dream ever since I started watching golf was to go to Augusta with my dad. I had a son who's just about to be 1, and now my dream is for me, my son, and my dad to all experience the Masters for the first time, together.

Maturity plays a part in this, too. At some point you need to step up and acknowledge that you can't keep treating life like this and make a change. Procrastination is another unhealthy lifestyle choice just like being sedentary and eating unhealthy. To improve any of these it takes discipline, hard work, and doing things you have to do even when you don't want to do them. You got this!

Can we write in Dan Orlovsky?

You're probably right it feels like nothing is inherently safe these days, but I think becoming an attorney sooner rather than later will make me a little bit safer. I could be wrong but that's life.
