This movie is being made with his estate. So don't expect to see anything that makes Michael look bad. I, for one, think he was a total weirdo with a Peter Pan complex, but don't buy the molestation allegations which came off as money/attention grabs. Way too many other kids like Corey Feldman (who has accused others in Hollywood) defended him.

I'm happy with anyone on this list. I'll worry a bit whether Bain is a risk, or whether Tate can live up to being a top 10 pick, but I'll understand the pick and won't be upset. Will be mad if we pick anyone else at 8

I keep seeing mock drafts with both Styles and Downs available at 8. I'd have a hard time choosing between the two.

Never believe the claims in these lawsuits - everything is exaggerated to make the hospital or doctor seem as negligent as possible. The lawyer will say anything to get the hospital to settle and avoid bad publicity. Newspapers love the clicks these claims get, but never report the results of the suits (which are mostly thrown out).

Coogler/MBJ are undefeated so far.

I agree, and the Trailsport model looks good. Also has a legit V-6 engine. Maybe not as much of an off-road vehicle, but is she really going to be trail riding?

No WR Chris Bell? That's been the chalk pick for weeks, Tyler's boy from Louisville.

Ritchson deserved even more damage to his bike by picking it up by the throttle and shows that he probably doesn't need to be driving a motorcycle.

Maybe he's learning? Could've bought the bikes to have something to do with his kids? Everyone has to learn sometime, maybe they're cruising the neighborhood to get practice. On the gopro video he clearly wasn't speeding and it seems Ritchson had to smack the guy a couple times to keep him from getting in the way again just so they could leave. I'd want to get my kids away from a nut like that as well.

re: David Bailey and Rueben Bain Game Logs

Posted by Burt Macklin on 3/24/26 at 9:39 am to GynoSandberg

All I get from these game logs is that those regular season ACC and Big 12 schedules are trash. How do you interpret 5 sacks against Kansas and Houston? Wish these players were doing this in the SEC or Big 10. At least we got to see Bain abuse A&M in the playoff, and Bailey looked good against Oregon, but would've liked more games against elite competition.

The missus didnt read/listen to the book but loved the movie.. I think more so than I did..

Just my opinion but this is how I prefer to go into these things.

I was thinking this too. I feel reading the book first takes away from the movie more than the reverse. There is so much more in most books that is left out of the movie versions that reading them after seeing the movie is still enjoyable - for example I remember staying up all night reading Silence of the Lambs despite seeing the movie a week before. In general, movies simplify things from the books they are based on, and as much as I loved PHM the book, knowing all the story beats ahead of time definitely took away from the moviegoing experience (though I still liked it). Would've loved to see it fresh.

Not a ton of elite OTs is going to hurt us as far as not pushing someone down to us. I think it’s going to be Delane or Downs at 8.

I still see Mauigoa projected to the Cardinals in a lot of reputable mocks. They have an LT but are desperate for a RT, he could slide right in.

I'd be fine with Mansoor at 8. No excited maybe, but fine.

That said, drafting a guy like Downs in the top ten to fill his role is a compliment to Taylor. I think a guys like Downs can do everything Taylor did with better coverage ability.

No question in my mind Downs would be a much better version of Alontae. A better version of a guy getting paid $20 million per year is a good pick at 8.

Please. Blackmon is coming off a season-ending injury (after multiple injuries in prior seasons) and doesn't play a STAR-like role, he's more of a free saftey.

Saints have left a conspicuous Alontae-sized gap in their defense

Posted by Burt Macklin on 3/16/26 at 8:26 am

Which has convinced me they're targeting Caleb Downs in the draft. They took care of the other glaring needs (OG and RB) and FA losses (Ellis for Demario). But for some reason they didn't sign even a lower tier replacement for Alontae Taylor, the most valuable free agent that we lost. Suspicious...

You can't convince me his replacement is on the team, we have zero evidence Sanker, Riley, Stalbird, Kool Aid, or whoever can play the same role (even if they draft Mansoor Delane). Downs would fit that position like a glove. Heck, if Downs is gone, I wouldn't be stunned if they drafted Dillon Thieneman instead. He'd be a reach but not a big one, and he could step into that role as well.
