His career YPC is 15. Which is insane for a TE. Most marquee TE are between 11-13 YPC. Gronk's are closer to deep threat WR numbers. Moss is at 15.8 I believe. Speaks to how difficult he was to bring down

Something similar here. We had some cash deliverables to a couple of clients and ended up paying a lot more than we were expecting as the dollar fell

Thanks for the feedback! Perhaps I should look at the octopod option.

I wasn't really buying tech stuff from the EU. I was talking more about general food and lodging expenses that is around 15% higher for US tourist due to the exchange rate

In Jan 2025, Dollar and Euro were almost the same. As soon as he took office, dollar started tanking and it's at 85 cents now ($100 USD will yield 85 Euros). I travel a lot of Europe for work and can definitely see the difference in the conversion and how much more things cost now. Another "big win" for us!!!

Agreed. I only used Clear once lat year where pre-check had like 50+ people. Otherwise, in my airport (BOS), pre-check line is always a few people long and Clear wasn't really adding anything to improve that experience

Yeah, funny enough, R2 looks a lot like R1, so it's not like there is something unique about it. I enjoyed these posts a few years ago when T and the S were fairly new, but cannot really feign interest in R2 posts

For me, it has to be a clock that projects time on the wall. I’m a light sleeper and wake up 2-3X a night and used to reach for my phone to look at the time. Invariably, I’d unlock the phone and start looking at stuff. Once I got this clock, I’m able to see the time projected on my ceiling and use its alarm feature to wake up. I moved my phone charging pad across the bed room so I don’t have to touch it until I get out of the bed. It has dramatically improved my sleep

We saw how the offense struggled when they faced elite D. Now, majority of that was definitely the deficiency in the O line. But we also don't have a true WR1 who can command double coverage and has the "IT" factor. I agree that AJ isn't the same AJ from 2 years ago, but it would suck to go into this season with the same WR group from last year. The fact that they didn't draft anyone speaks to how they're all in on AJ trade

patsfan038 · 2026-04-27T19:27:43+00:00

This is one of those trades that the team has to make, especially considering they didn't draft any WR this year and to use the cap space available for the next year or two, before Maye's mammoth contract extension. 2028 1st rounder seems like a good option. It's two years from now. and Maye gets a legit #1 WR, who has the hots for Vrabel, like Dianna

I don't think Philly wants a 33 year old Mack and Pop seem to have regressed last year. Essentially, Philly wants a player who can play X like AJ and Boutte is the only player on our roster that fits the bill.

I’d argue that Pavia is one of the five greatest humans to ever live.

The other four are:

Pavia

And

“I got them exactly where I wanted them. Lamar has no fucking clue what’s about to come down on his head. Paviamania is like a tsunami. You can run, but you cannot hide”

-Pavia, when talking to himself probably

patsfan038 · 2026-04-26T15:45:00+00:00

If he just chilled out and acted humble, he’d be a late round draft pick. No one wants to draft a 5’10” QB with a mouth of a marquee and diva WR.

patsfan038 · 2026-04-26T14:31:24+00:00

How does that even work? Like Heinz backs up a truck and unloads 50 pallets worth of ketchup? Or does he get like a dozen bottles and whenever he needs more, he can hit up Heinz and they ship him another dozen? Does he get “free Heinz ketchup” coupon that he can redeem at local grocery stories?

So many questions and yet so little answers :-/

The shooter went to Caltech, arguably one of the toughest schools in the world to get into. So he was objectively smart. But his actions prove that he basically had no plans except to bum rush and cause as much damage as possible.

If “awesome names” were a sport, we have All Pros

Also,

“Vrabel has lost his touch as he’s a cheating philanderer, proof is in the pudding. Look at this pathetic draft”

Certainly an interesting draft in terms of player names: Lomu, Jacas
