Yup. Blocking everything.

Is Blake Corum the 2020s version of Rudi Johnson? Not throwing shade there.

It is still a weird delay, but glad it is happening. Now do Kjerstad. And Mayo.

Given the hype around Pulisic back in his Dortmund days, just pausing to note that...he's really panned out. Like, maybe the first true American star of this hype who really lived up to the hype. He's having a really good career in Europe.

I enjoy watching Edey play - total throwback. Hope he lands somewhere in the NBA where he can settle in at 20 minutes a game off the bench and have a long long career.

that's the toughest part. he's a fine player in a vacuum but you can't escape the projections and sadly the hype. and that one killer season. he's still so young too but ... ? idk. i'm not reactionary wrt sports possibly to a fault but i finally hit a point this week where i think the front office ...

That series of moments that happens to me over and over in the course of a year where I realize my wilful blindness to current music and what not means I miss bangers. Like, Dua Lipa's Levitating. Rectified.

It's deep at WR but outside of the top 3 (top 2 if you ask me) they are all high-ceiling low-floor athletic freak types and oddities, at a position that already has one of the highest bust rates. It's a weird, weird class. Like, dart throws at the next 12 after the big three and any subset of that ...

Oh, say can you see Traffic backed up for miles 31,500 cars/vehicles a day - 11 million a year. No other choice now but 95 through the city or 695 north the long way.
