"Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?"
Honestly, if I were an NFL GM, and I was scouting and interviewing players prior to the draft, "Do you like kissing titties?" would be one of the primary factors I would take into account.

Because how can you argue with that logic? I'll tell you how: You can't.

LOL, I didn't even notice the "#whitegreatness," I thought the "Barack Obama makes me irrationally angry every time I think about him" tweet was bad enough.

As for Trubisky's "I love kissing tittiess" tweet, I think the date on it was in 2011? What was he, 15? Our brave new dystopia, where every 15 year old with a twitter account embarrasses the gently caress out of his future self.

The Trubisky boos weren't personal. The Bulls were getting clobbered and the Celtics were on a huge run so the Bulls called a timeout and the fans booed the poo poo out of them. Then the fine folks at the United Center decided this would be the time to introduce the new QB that the Bears just made a dumb trade for.

If they had done it earlier in the game he'd have gotten some cheers. Timing was crappy and we were going to boo the poo poo out of anything they put on the jumbotron.

imo a love of kissing titties is a great quality to have in your QB.

Anyway, it sounds like all told, the Lions have picked up a couple LBs, a TE and a WR?

Good stuff.

They did! Though I do find it funny that they managed to achieve the level of Not Terrible at the exact moment that everyone on campus would rather cut the program entirely than go along with the administration's plan to build a new (extremely expensive) athletic facility.

The 2017 bears draft class looks weak on paper and Fox looks set to go by the end of the season, so I have to ask: When are the bears going to even start looking like an average team?

Noblest of all dogs is the hot-dog; it feeds the hand that bites it.
So the Packers drafted a bunch of dudes I have never heard of. More informed posters, did TT do well? King looks like he has the physical tools to be good, but also the body of a wide receiver which means to me he is playing cb because he can't catch.

When they get a QB. And can actually stay healthy.

If dat dere trubinsky fella turns out to be good....

Drafts grades based off immediate reactions mean little to nothing to me. It's the acceptance of hey this GM just signed his name in ink. if this he hosed it up he'll be fired.

I've seen some places give the packers an A grade for the draft, but it's always hard to tell. It looks like they addressed needs on paper, but only time will tell.

A lot of SPARQy guys and they passed on anyone with the slightest shred of character concerns. It's a pretty typical TT draft at this point - draft a defensive 1st rounder, load up on a position (RB) of need and get a bunch of SPARQ-y guys.

Draft grades are handed out like IGN review scores.

A = fine
B = sucks
C = kill yourself
D = Nobody ever gets this

quote:

They made a strange move to give up so much to move up a spot to No. 2 overall and draft North Carolina quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. They could have stayed in their third spot and landed him, but gave up too much to move up a spot. If he's a star, they will be laughing at all us. But why give Mike Glennon that contract if this was what you planned to do? Second-round tight end Adam Shaheen from Ashland is a big, physical tight end. But this is all about Trubisky and that trade.
Grade: D

I think the Lions drafted properly.

I know nothing about college football.

According to our GM, he spent the most time researching the Florida CB. I trust him.

Some of the things about the draft I liked, but, other things I didn't.
I liked a lot of the athleticism, but I didn't like a lot of the negatives. It just seemed like that was a down part for me.

However, with that said, there's a lot of upside, and I could see a couple guys being moderate play makers in two to five years.
