Kinda disheartening they have us picking 8th. I suppose teams with new coaches/systems are behind the 8 ball this year until proven otherwise.

First thing you know ol’ Jed’s a millionaire...

I’ve had a theory for a while now that Njoku and Mayfield don’t get along so well. Is this theory based on me projecting into a limited sample size? Yeah, pretty much. But here’s what l got anyways... During Hard Knocks l came to see Njoku as an emerging leader on the team. Remember the scene where Brad Paisley was with the team and they did a huddle with a “1, 2, 3... whatever”? It was Njoku taking point on that. And there were other minor instances that somehow formed that opinion of him in me. How he spoke in interviews and stuff. And there was this game where Mayfield was mic’d up. I found it and will link it below. At the 7:43 mark Mayfield thought it would be fun to razz Njoku by saying he could block better than him. Njoku didn’t seem too pleased. It was a brief but awkward exchange, and at the very least you could see they didn’t have that comfort factor yet. You know, like your good friends, you can razz the shit outta them and it’s fun when they dish it back. But you can’t really do that with your kinda friends. So projecting out, l see 2 guys that are leader like with maybe a bit of a strained working relationship, add a high priced FA TE, another draft pick TE, maybe Njoku felt slighted the way he was treated last year between the injury and busting his ass to get back only to get benched? I could totally see how the relationship between Baker’s Browns and Njoku could have frayed.

Now there’s a flashback. Convicted of a crime he didn’t commit...

Shh, playing pranks here. Geez man.

And that’s why l think we invested so heavily in the OL this offseason. Conklin. Wills Jr. That’s what l’m talking about.

I’m just here for the popcorn

That sorta begs the question, who does the beard look good on?

That’s a lotta questions. I will answer one of them. Yes. You’re welcome.

Yessir DieHard. Fuck English. Fuck it right in the ass. That’s what l’m talkin about

Trump wears depends. All the cool kids piss their pants.

But you like that Spice Girls song, right?

I did. Limited information there. Indiana fastpitch players are no joke man. They take it seriously. My daughter’s hitting coach played wideout for Ball State, and his daughter played at Purdue. I have extensive experience watching my kid’s teams square off against Indy girls, and we were always on our toes against those ladies. Hoosiers go next level with sports. They literally build football fields and baseball diamonds in their back yards. And a female PI? Maybe someone like her coulda got the drop on a Johnny Manziel situation and avoided that whole fiasco. Gotta think outside the box here.

Honestly speaking, l’ve always been conflicted about the guy. Our alma mater doesn’t crank out too many NFL superstar players these days, but plenty of quality coaches, and admittedly plenty of assholes. I wanted us to draft him so badly that year, but we took the other sex fiend from the other Miami that year. Talk about a dagger through the heart the way it panned out. His senior year was Manziel like magical, except he actually translated it into major success at the next level. Nonetheless he’s using his platform to admit his foibles, a move that eases the burden of admitting our own faults. We all kinda got ‘em. And it seems to be a good time to do that. I really like that Spice Girls song. There, l said it.
