  1. Its not the 100 mil, its the guaranteed money. At any rate its what you'd expect. Salaries constantly trend up and Pro bowl caliber QB's in their mid 20's don't hit the market too often. He hasn't had much around him either. The O line is dreadful. Imo he's the most physically talented QB in football, including Luck. I remember watching him that season Auburn won the national title and he got the Heisman and thinking just how talented he looked. It was amazing how a guy that tall could move so well and just flick his wrist while running and throw a 30 yard lazer. He was supposed to be a bit of a knucklehead coming out of college but seems to have grown up. In other news, russel wilson is about to GET PAID.

    The refs handle the ball every play and its their job to inspect it. The balls if doctored off the field shouldnt ever make it on the field. Or better yet let the league furnish them. As for the nfl not paying taxes thats a half truth, no the nfl hasnt tradionally per se, but the league belongs to the owners whom all pay a great deal in taxes.

    I believe Gurley is a once in a decade talent that went after a lot of guys who may bust. Talent wise he's special and can help put a young roster with a lot of talent over the top. With that defensive front and a stud back stl is very dangerous in the next few years and matches up well in that division. The great ones like Peterson, Foster, lynch don't necessarily have very good lines either, true alpha backs like that can produce without them. They're line is actially talented and on the upswing, they just need to stay healthy. The no 2 overall pick last year greg robinson moved to LT and started to excel at the end of the season. The RT, barksdale was solid also. Former 2nd rd pick saffold is coming on at guard, and Jones the former outland trophy winner at Alabama is improving if healthy. Not sure how foles will fair without chip kelly's offense though. I agree with you on the receiver core, its pretty bad

    It was weird talent pool this year, not many high end studs other than the wideouts. Dallas had 1st round grades on 14 guys. Really like the Gurley pick for STL. He's got some Marshawn Lynch qualities to him with another gear. Think the Usc kid went a little early for his talent to philly, but the little quick slants fit his style and he'll be productive.
  5. X2 On my second set. Very good tire for the price. Read the reviews, they seem to be getting more popular
  6. I think it had dreadlocks and a hawks uniform on lol.
  7. Ive used 10 or so and every one made by a known brand is "close enough" in my experience. Just pick the right diameter for the job and spray with line conditioner to retain color.
  8. Construction Manager in the Cellular industry.
  9. I'll be rooting for the pats but they don't appear to have the athletes to attack the Seattle defense. It's a bad matchup for them IMO if you look at player by player. Their D is going to have to play out of its mind.
  10. No way would I want a division rival to have the right to gloat about a championship. Which is why I never understood the "SEC" fans??? You go from hating a team to cheering for them?
  11. Read an article earlier that the home team furnishes them? You may be right though as it sounds familiar.
  12. My understanding is they used the same balls interchangeably. If the pats receivers gained an advantage It certainly didn't help Luck.
  13. Detroit's coaches made 2 big mistakes in the second half. They abandonded the bltiz, and Caldwell's decision not to go for it on 4th and 1 at that spot in the field was a bad call, magnified by the botched punt. Funny the conspiracy theorists forget that. One play w/8 1/2 minutes to go does not decide a game. Conservative Garret had some brass going for that 4th and 6, and the the 4th and goal.
  14. Any of you guys saying the refs threw that game for Dallas did not pay attention at all. The were at least 5 bad/no calls against Dallas. Theybasically tackled the punter w/no call. Called interferance on williams for getting pushed into a defender by a defender, to name a few.
  15. Refs were pretty inconsistent throughout the game but they got the P.I. right in the end. Should have been a facemask on the receiver prior to Hitchens grabbing him, which would have offset. Dallas got the win against a team that matches up well with them. Lawrence came through big when he needed to for sure. The Oline just seems to shut pass rush down by the 4th quarter. Greenbay hasnt played physical teams too well in the playoffs, next week will be interesting.
  16. You pee. It ends up along way from the foot of the tower most times. I would use a bottle but someguys let et rip lol. Ive heard theres a term "brown thunder", but never seen it implemented.
  17. Did it for years. After about a week or two you pretty much get used to it. Its real hairy at first feeling the tower move lol. Most that high have elevators in them. Thats an AM tower that has to be turned off for him to be on it. The pain in the butt climbing that tower is there's no safety climb cable that runs up it, keeping you tied off all the way up. Notice how he has to keep hooking off as you climb, that gets old after about 20'. Not sure how old the video is but those belts arent approved and havent been for almost a decade.
  18. Its not just the holes in the fishes mouth. The elasticity of a line with some stretch keeps them pinned better. Braid is either dead tight or slack, no in between. In additon some of the 1/4 oz and smaller traps have lighter wire hooks, which flex a great deal w/a superline. You certainly can catch a lot of fish with braid a rattlebaits, but unless you're ripping them out of millfoil to trigger strikes its not the best tool for the job IMO.
  19. Wrong. The no slack of the braid is going to create larger holes where the hook penetrates. When she shakes her head with a trap she will throw it with braid much more often than mono. The key to keeping a big fish buttoned up is not letting her head get out of the water, much easier up close than when you first hook up and their fresh and full of steam at the end of a LONG rattlebait cast. I'M talking about long distance, as far a cast as a bass fisherman makes with conventional gear. I had access to a private bank only lake for about 5 years w/a lot of DD fish and watched it time and time again. Again this is more at distance than close.
  20. If you use straight braid with a rattlebait a lot you're going to lose a big fish sooner rather than later. Especially at the end of a long cast.
  21. It casts real nice. Some complained about its abrasion resistance. Dont recall having issues with the one spool I had but Id be cautious. Yozuri Hybrid is my go to. Some have tried to argue on here that line conditioner doesnt effect it. Ive noticed liberal use of it the night before GREATLY improves handling.
  22. That specific color/size has been an absolute beast for me for years. Great for size and numbers, they cast really well and accurately. Big brown fish in current absolutely lose theyre mind over them.

    True or not, can't help but think the media focus may be there in large part due to some of his comments made in the last few years. His remarks rubbed alot of blacks and the talking heads the wrong way.
  24. As much as I'd like to see Dallas make a run, I just don't trust the secondary. Green Bay looks like the class of the NFC at the moment, but they've struggled with physical teams in the past. In the AFC, I'd love to see Brady make another run. Don't care what happens in that conference but its fun to watch somebody THAT good. His arm looks stronger now than 10 years ago. That said feel like people are sleeping on the Chiefs. They can run the ball, and have some talented guys on defense, and Alex Smith is going to protect the ball. I would not be shocked if they sent one of the top seeds home in the playoffs.
  25. Virtually every manufacturer makes a "waterproof" unit dedicated to under water hunting. The caveat is they generally are specialty machines, they often lack the visual meters, may be heavier and many work on pulse induction technology, which is very deep, sensitive, and handles mineralization w/no issues. Most land machines are whats called a VLF, and have transmit/receive antennas that works on RF, like ur cell phone, mixrowave, etc. Pulse units give little to no target ID, so you may go crazy in a target rich enviroment. Vlf's do, some quite accurately. When I speak of trash I mean undesirable metallic objects that often mask good signals. Nails, pull tabs, cans, junk iron, etc. It is smaxing how much unseen crap is in the ground. Beaches present a unique situation as a lot of traditional detectors struggle with falsing in wet sand, thus the need for a pulse unit. Beach hunting varies greatly by geography. Like fishing, tides and especially storms are key. A noreaster with the right tide may push all kinds of goodies on the beach. Its rare however. Down in FL you can get all kinds of french and spanish items from the wrecks. You also get jewelry,coins, and the new thing oddly enough is lost cell phones. Believe it or not they have value. Always try to find the owner if at all possible. If I were primarily hunting the beach, I'd look at the minelab soveriegns, or excaliburs if you're gonna dive. The AT pro I mentioned earlier is good down to 10' I believe, but I'm not sure how they handle the wet sand with the DD coil. As far as finds, first of all, you're not going to make a good living doing it. Scrapping Gold and silver as a small man operation doesn't pay anywhere near what you'd think. Silver scrap is currently laughable. If you find something w/a precious stone its worth pennies of what the markup is in the store. I have a friend with a pill bottle full of diamonds. Copper/nickel/bronze coins are of very very little value in "dug" condition. Some silver coins can be quite valuable, but spots that consistently produce don't come easy. Not trying to be a debbie downer just hoping to give realistic expectations.
