  1. Think I'm gonna go put the kettle on and see if I can come up with any explanation for drafting a RT at #5 who isn't a RT.
  2. Bowers to be the latest big, slow slot-receiver that everyone falls in love with because he's notionally a TE.
  3. LOL. Maybe the solution to 20 years of shite QB's in Denver is to stop with the desperation hail-mary QB picks.
  4. Vikes swap #10 and #11 with the Jets. Must be to keep McCarthy away from Denver and LV. Good luck trying to beat Mahomes and Herbert with Bo fecking Nix under C
  5. That's a laugher. Probably the 4th or 5th best QB in the draft, but he's not a 1st round talent and taking him a #8 is hilarious.
  6. God all fucking mighty that's a horror pick.
  7. The decades long tradition of going to a commercial break as soon as the Chargers are on the clock continues...
  8. Won't be long before $30m is the going rate for a #1 WR
  9. Think I preferred it when it was just Goodell in his spare bedroom. Any chance of a Covid pandemic next year?
  10. Clock starts at 1am UK time. No doubt the Bears will still take nearly 15 minutes to hand the card in.
  11. A lot of parallels with this season. Made hard work of promotion the season before, recruited well in the off-season, surprised a few folk in the first season back up. I just hope it doesn't fizzle out like Hartley and 2023-24 is not the highpoint of Docherty's time as manager.
  12. Clarkson, in the first Hartley season back in the Premier. Scored in something daft like 8 straight games, then promptly regressed to his normal self.
  13. I think it will depend how picks 3,4,5 play out. The Pats could really shake things up by doing what was suggested for the Bears months ago, i.e. pass on a QB, take MHJ, then come back later for one of the lesser passers. If that happens, then it leaves 2 of Daniels, Maye, and McCarthy available, which means more pieces to tempt someone to trade up to 4 or 5, but conversely it also means at least one of them would still be available at 6 even if AZ and LAC both traded out, so that could spark a frenzy for the final one of the four QB's somewhere around 10'ish. I don't rate McCarthy because he looks to me like another Mac Jones waiting to happen, but the NFL talking heads seem to think he's not as far behind Williams/Daniels/Maye as I do. I don't think Nix or Penix are first round talents, but somebody will bite for that 5th year.
  14. Honestly don't think 11 & 23 is enough to tempt the Chargers to move out of #5. I'd be expecting at least a future 2nd on top of that as well before I'd even entertain the offer, and I'd push that to a 1st. Given that it's likely 3x QB's go in the top 4, any trading partner is asking them to effectively pass on 2 of the top 3 talents in the draft, so it's more akin to trading up to #2 overall than #5. I don't think you pass up a potential blue-chip talent like MHJ or Nabers for a mid-round RT and probably the 2nd or 3rd CB off the board, or the 5th WR if they go that way at #23. People are overweighting the "Harbaugh likes the trenches" factor. They have a franchise LT and are paying their RT $9milion.
  15. Really can't praise No Rest For The Wicked enough. Only Early Access, so the size of it is a bit limited right now, but the Devs have released 2 Hotfixes already and are about to release another this afternoon. Best way I can describe it is kinda like a top-down Elden Ring, but with random loot drops like a more typical ARPG. It has the weapon variations of ER, character building is similar, and the combat is punishing until you really figure out what you are doing, but overall I'm having an absolute blast playing it. Through the Story part and I'm about to start on what currently makes up the end-game, and I'm already desperate to see them expand what's available. Multi-player is the first update on the schedule and that could make things really interesting if they are planning group dungeons and so on. If you remotely enjoy Souls-like games and/or ARPG's then this is a must play, but I will warn you if all you are interested in is a faceroll keyboard-piano ARPG like PoE or Diablo, then this isn't it. It's much more nuanced and you really need to pay attention or you'll die over and over. It's closer to a Souls game than TItanQuest/Grim Dawn/PoE.
  16. They'll do exactly what they did the last time, and hire some consultancy firm who then go and hire a load of semi-retired physiotherapists, dieticians, aromatherapists and so on, who will give you a ten minute Q&A session and conclude your Consultant Oncologist or Psychiatrist has totally fabricated your life-long diagnosis off the back of nothing at all.
  17. This started when they decided to put the cars in Parc Ferme between session. The reason they keep skiting off in light drizzle is because they are all running Dry setups courtesy of this idiotic rule.
  18. Really interested in No Rest For The Wicked https://store.steampowered.com/app/1371980/No_Rest_for_the_Wicked/ Releases into Early Access later today. ARPG, but with "soulslike" combat rather than skill spamming. About 8 hours with this now. It really is a bit different. Combat is fiendishly difficult, far more so than the likes of Elden Ring. I don't think it's broken or over tuned, it just places a premium on not getting hit and working out the timing and combos of even the "trash" mobs. Loot is mostly random, but it doesn't spew out garbage left and right like a typical ARPG, so there is an element of "go with what you find" that seemingly stays true throughout, although there is apparently a shared stash that lets you hoard better drops and pass them on to alts. I'm hooked. Loads of whining online because the equipment has a durability mechanic, so if you die 3 or 4 times you'll usually have to run to the smith to fix it, but I suspect this is a skill issue and a case of "get gud scrub" due to typical ARPG button-mashers being used to playing while watching box-sets.
  19. Due 3x Home 2x Away, but with only St.Mirren and Celtic due at Dens again. So either they are going to screw us out of a home gate, or send Hertz, Killie, or Rangers (yeah sure) for a third time.
  20. 2 points dropped. Let them aff the hook. Nowhere near good enough etc etc
  21. Absolutely asking for a mugging. One-way traffic since half-time and nothing to show for it.
  22. Kinda hoping for a Hibs goal to inject some life into this. Don't GAF about top 6 tbh
  23. This has the feel of one of those games that will be decided by a totally random VAR decision either way, without a single person inside the ground having any idea what the review was actually for.
