He said we weren't keeping all 9 picks and then said we were trading down. If we're trading down, I assume it's for more picks.

If they really take a qb it would indicate to me that Brees has probably let let them know how much longer he plans to play.

You know what drives me batshit crazy these days? Nobody knows what constitutes a goddamn catch anymore. If it's AT ALL a "close call" you might as well flip a coin.

Sometimes it's okay for the ball to skip off the turf as long as the player has both hands on the ball, sometimes if it touches a blade of grass it's incomplete.

Sometimes it's incomplete because the player loses control of the ball AFTER HE'S ALREADY DOWN BY RULE because his knee or butt or whatever has already hit the ground, but he didn't "maintain control all the way to the ground" past the point where he's already down. Other times, not so much.

The "football move." Might as well flip a coin on whether it's gonna be a fumble or an incomplete pass or even a completed pass with the receiver down by contact before the ball comes out (so much for "maintaining control all the way to the ground." )

I know that it's a game of inches and in real time the action is super fast and all that. There are always going to be plays that legitimately "could go either way" because it's just that damn close. But there are way too many of them these days, it's like any catch/no-catch call that isn't completely obvious ends up being a "judgment call" and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the way they're called. Even on review.

stupid question imo

Patrick clearly already knew what kind of answer Shaq would give to that question, and intentionally set Shaq up to show LSU some love. That's where Patrick wanted to steer the conversation for a minute. It's a standard "good radio" type of thing. And, as this thread exemplifies, it works.

Hey, good for you, guy. :cheers:

Not presumptuous. Speculative. You can't ask euphoric fans to wait 6 to 8 weeks to separate them from their money. You've got to strike while the iron is hot, which means having merchandise on hand just in case. Texas-themed merchants are doing it too. So does everybody else. It has nothing to do with presumption of victory. It's about making money, nothing more, nothing less.

The "overdoing it" is really just repeating for the sake of people who haven't been watching every single minute of every single game, which is a substantial portion of the audience. You and I have heard it 100 times because we're paying close attention to every minute of it.

Funny thing though, I'm sick of it too, but I'm sick of hearing how unbelievably fast and athletic he is, not the part about how he needs to learn baseball. I mean, it's true, but if they didn't say "Carl Crawford" 10 time a game, I'd swear that he was Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Rickey Henderson, Willie Mays and Hank Aaron all rolled into one.
