McSorley is another Chris Redman. Decent player but a bad back keeps him from ever being more than a backup.

Also the being bad at football thing

Are pelicans trying genuinely trying to eat things when they do this or do they just use their mouths to decide how to feel about things like how puppies, sharks, and your mother do?

Redman was not bad.

After 2003 his back forced him out of football. He was gone for four years. But was able to come back at the age of 30 to be a backup on the Atlanta Falcons where he stayed for the rest of his career. If he was bad at football he never would have been able to do that. It's very rare to see guys be gone for that long and be able to just come back. Maybe some sort of megastar could do it but a regular guy like Redman you just don't see that.

We picked Redman in the third round of the 2000 draft. Before his senior season at Louisville Redman was looking to be a first round pick but he had a bad year and dropped to the third round where we grabbed him. In 2002 after Grbac retired we made him our starter but partway through the year he just couldn't go anymore due to his back which I guess we already knew about so we had Jeff Blake. And then he started. Blake was alright.

So we can't have missed Brady due to Redman because Brady was a lower pick in the draft and Redman was a higher one at the time. They're too far away to really be compared. That's like saying that everyone who picked a TE before Shannon Sharpe in the 7th round missed him. But it's not that simple. To me you need to be right near where the guy was projected to be drafted to miss him. Like the Ravens did in fact pick Patrick Johnson instead of Hines Ward. So we did mess that up.

one time 7 teams in a row took a wide receiver in the third round, and then somebody took a tight end and then the next team took a wide receiver. and they all missed out on Syndric Steptoe

No idea, I know my cockatiel nibbles on things and kinda tastes them with his tongue to decide if they're edible or shreddable or in the case of my computer, if he can pull the keys off (he can, and does).

You laugh but he was the second most important WR on the 2010 Hartford Colonials, behind only Markee White. Markee. White!

it sounds like mark andrews was dehydrated and lacking in some key vitamins & minerals. under the worst of circumstances that's all it takes to have a very frightening situation. he may get out of this with just some soreness for a couple of days. let's all pray.

It's an old used canon sx60 with 65x zoom. That's what a lot of the birders around here use. You need one like that for birding you can't just use anything. It's not anything fancy for pro pics or anything it's just to get pics of stuff like Empids that can be tricky to get accepted with a definition. I'll never be one of the people with the giant lenses.

The pics will be for birds like empids and also stuff like shorebirds and immature gulls. So that way I can study individual birds I see in the field and be able to understand them better in the future. But a nice side effect is that I will have some pictures of the birds I see :). Even if they're not professional quality.

Just swung by to say that I watched a Ravens broadcast last week for the first time. Maybe it was because it was a preseason game, but it was one of the most homer broadcasts I've ever heard. If I had a drink every time a broadcaster mentioned "Raven's Way" I would have died of alcohol poisoning.
