re: Albert Breer of SI: How the Falcons, Vikings and Broncos Got Their QBs.....
Posted by InkStainedWretch on 5/1/24 at 10:55 am
The Athletic piece that I referenced earlier that had McCarthy second among the first-round QB picks noted that he would have to step up in a way that he never had to in college, but that he has an unquantifiable “it” factor and is going into a very “user friendly” offensive system in Minnesota. We ...

re: If your SEC school shutdown, what SEC team would you root for, if you had to choose one?

Georgia. I’m an Alabama fan but my paternal blood line comes heavily through the area between Athens and South Carolina. ...

Posted by InkStainedWretch on 4/30/24 at 7:08 pm
For the record, The Athletic’s “NFL insider” ranked the QBs taken in the first round as Williams, McCarthy, Daniels, Maye, Penix and Nix. I think that is defensible.
My only issue with people in these discussions is the ones saying Penix is hot garbage and will be a bust. I think he’s going to be...

Steeler I'm not going to talk anti-Penix smack here to you ... as I've said in other posts about this, people dogging his potential is simply from the fact that this is an LSU-centric site and he was the competition to their guy who (rightfully IMO) won the Heisman and they want to keep it going and...
re: Dan Patrick: Penix to throw all spring w/Falcons, then get benched for Cousins for 2 yrs
Posted by InkStainedWretch on 4/30/24 at 2:11 pm
There's no issue IMO with signing Cousins or (big emphasis on the word [b]or[/b]) drafting Penix.
Doing the two together is nonsensical, especially for what they paid Cousins....

re: The expanded 12-team College Football Playoff is here — and it already has problems.
Posted by InkStainedWretch on 4/30/24 at 9:02 am
Agreed. But I want to actually see what the thing looks like in reality before condemning it. I just think that college football fans also are the most resistant fans to change of any fan base. And that’s not to say change is automatically good. But it’s inevitable. Nothing in the secular realm on t...

Here’s a novel idea … why don’t we wait to see the thing in action before we pronounce it as the ruination or death of college football?
Flame away, but I think just like with NIL and paying players, the biggest reason fans, and particularly old-school fans, are so arse hurt at this is they haven...

re: Steve Gaines, What Could Have Been
Posted by InkStainedWretch on 4/29/24 at 9:19 pm
Ronnie had cleaned up his act a bit by the time Gaines joined the band … “That Smell” was a message on one level to Gary Rossington who hadn’t .., and he was so impressed by Gaines’ talent that he brought him into his orbit as a collaborator in a way that he never did with the others. That’s the sad...

It didn’t stop when he was older. I saw him hit … real hard … on a female sports writer at Talladega one time,
Of course he wasn’t The GOAT at such things (The Silver Fox was :lol:).
And then there was the story Kyle Petty told about him, Earnhardt, Ricky Rudd and Tim Richmond being thrown ou...

re: Question for the Bass Players
Posted by InkStainedWretch on 4/28/24 at 8:43 pm
Let me toss out something else … you might despise simple, old-school 1/4/5 country music stuff but I found that extremely helpful in developing dexterity and precision and keeping time on bass. Get that down to where it’s second nature, then you can get adventurous. “Ring of Fire” is a good one bec...
re: Question for the Bass Players
Posted by InkStainedWretch on 4/28/24 at 3:24 pm
I have been playing guitar for 54 years but I only took up bass a couple of years ago. And quite frankly, I have pretty much taken to liking bass more than guitar. It was like I almost had an innate feel for being part of the rhythm section.
In response to someone talking about going at bass like...
