My expectations for the NFL draft (Dallas Cowboys centric)

First, if Penix is still there, I anticipate the Cowboys trading down with New England. Dallas giving up 1 (24) for New England's 2 (34) and 3 (68)
Later Dallas may trade down again in the 3rd round. Giving up 3 (87) and a 2025 4th rounder for the Chargers 4 (105) and 4 (110). Part of my thinking is Lamb won't be resigned long-term.

Therefore, my picks:

2 (34) Adonai Mitchell or Xavier Worthy
2 (56) some center, probably either the West Virginia or Georgia centers
3 (68) Jonathan Brooks
4 (105) T'Vondre Sweat
4 (110) Ja'Tavian Sanders
5 (174) Jaylen Ford
6 (216) Christian Jones
7 (233) Jordan Whittington
7 (244) Ryan Watts

All the world's a stage, and most of us are desperately unrehearsed.

Can't recall where I found this, but it is so true. Wouldn't it be great if someone handed us our lines every morning? Better still, the whole script. Then, all we'd need to do for a perfect day was memorize our lines, so we could weave them delicately and carefully into that script, and wait for everyone else to follow suit. How wonderful would it be if everything we said was "pitch perfect?" If we never said anything hurtful? If everything we said would eventually lead to a perfect solution for every problem?

Unfortunately, that's not how life works. We have to make it up on the fly, trying to avoid the bumps and potholes along the way. Sometimes we get it right, other times we don't. And in our worst moments, we make such a huge mess that we think there's no going back, that nothing will ever be the same.

The good news is that each day offers the promise of a new beginning, another chance to work on our lines, and "get it right." By God's Grace, some hard work, and the tincture of time, we can become beloved characters in our own life story. Without that Grace, the ending is hopeless, but with it, there is endless hope (paraphrasing Rick Warren).

Blessings and love to you all,
Mrs. T-Sipper

Florida man arrested and beaten after making fun of disabled guest at Disney World​

By
Social Links forAlyssa Guzman

A Florida man drunkenly made fun of a disabled person at a Disney World restaurant — and then got arrested when a scuffle with her family started, according to cops.

Brent George, 61, allegedly approached a table of four at Belle Vue Lounge inside Disney’s Boardwalk Inn, where he allegedly taunted a girl with Down Syndrome, the complaint said about the January incident.

Candace Boyette Goldberg, the girl’s mother, allegedly confronted George and demanded to know if he was making fun of her daughter, who was not identified.

George allegedly shoved the woman twice before slapping Maria Ayalde, the woman’s daughter-in-law, in the face when she tried to calm the escalation, the complaint said.

The Sebring, Florida resident then allegedly punched Ayalde’s husband, Wesley Goldberg, in the neck, who returned a jab to his face.

A bystander intervened and wrapped George in a bear hug in an effort to remove him from the eatery, cops said.

George told police he had been “struck by a glass cup” during the fight, which a witness backed up, according to the complaint. He also had several cuts on his face.

Police noted that no glass was found at the scene.

He, his wife, and two friends had been drinking at the bar prior to the incident and told police he was having a “good time” with the family of four before they attacked him, the complaint read.

The Ohio native requested to press charges against the group of four, but declined to provide police a statement.

The four others provided written statements to police and requested to seek prosecution.

George was arrested for striking the family and charged with four counts of battery. He was taken to Orange County Jail, where he spent the night.

His wife, Marla George, paid his $4,000 bond the next day.

George has pleaded not guilty, according to court documents.

March jobs report (bad news for Trump)

We keep hearing about "Bidenomics", and we keep hearing from conservatives how terrible and awful things are. But in March, the economy added 303,000 jobs, and the UE rate fell to 3.8%.

There is a serious disconnect between a lot of folks' belief that things are terrible. The UE rate has been below 4% for two years - the last time that happened was around 1970. Inflation is still a little high, but it is certainly not what people think it is. For the last 14 months it's averaged just over 3%.

The economy is NOT bad. Not at all. In fact, by historical standards, it is really good. Violent crime is down.

And yet half the country is totally convinced we are falling apart.

Aggroid Delusion has No End -

“the (Longhorn) move (to the SEC) was precipitated by the school in Austin’s envy over Texas A&M football’s success in the Southeastern Conference.”

This sheep cult longs so much to be relevant - it’s pathetic. Aggroid football hasn’t won a National Championship since 1939 or a Conference Championship since 1998. What exactly are they referring to when suggesting football success much less SEC success?

For those coming to Augusta for the Masters

We host a fairly decent sized hospitality program for our Masters guests in downtown Augusta. If any of you are interested in joining us for dinner, I can offer an Orangebloods deal for $150 per person, all you can eat and drink. We'll have live music going on most nights -- as well as TVs showing the golf replays from the day. Instead of waiting two hours for a table at Chili's, let's try to get a group together.....

To be up front and very clear -- this is below our cost. I simply want to give some travelling OBs a place to gather in Augusta.

DM me interested.

Sark on Staley and Hurley

Sarkisian credited both Staley and Hurley for their respective abilities to "coach hard."

"But one thing that is very clear in both of them. I’d say two things," Sarkisian said. "The first is they coach hard. There’s not for a second, you watch their interaction with their players, where they’re not coaching them hard. And they’re demanding of their players. But you can also feel the love coming from them with their players."

OT: Butcher's Crossing, a modern American Western film from a classic American Western book, playing on Hulu

Let me just preface this review with the statement that I am not really all that much of a Nic Cage fan. Some of his work here and there has been all right, but in general his brand of cinematic cheese (mostly) of his career, has turned me away.

Which is why I was disappointed several months back, when I had heard he would be in the lead role of Miller, in this cinematic undertaking of John E Williams classic and highly regarded American Western novel. Which I loved when I read it. See that brief review here:


Just caught this film on Hulu this weekend, and have to say I very much enjoyed it.
Especially the production, actual filming locations, sets, makeup, artwork, costuming, etc. altogether you felt like you could smell, hear and see the Western frontier, in what is likely a nice share of its devastating grime, mud, natural landscapes, terrifying weather, loneliness and isolation, flowing blood and economic desperation.

Though not absent, there doesn't seem to be TOO much modern mindset dwelling upon of the economic, natural and cultural devastation of the buffalo hunting industry had upon the decline of species in late 1800s, and the Native American cultures. Though the scenes clearly cover the topic while portraying the buffalo hunt realities, the movie remarkably seems to let the imagery do the "talking", and not just the dialog. The logistics, skinning, and butchering process of a months long buffalo hunt actually gets coverage in this book, which isn't very commonly seen in a lot of westerns.

The characters seem to actually talk about the buffalo much as I imagine the actual hunters, skinners and freighters would have talked and thought about them. As economic risks to go after opportunities. And with the limited awareness and religious backgrounds of the time, rather than the more scientific and historical basis and context awareness, that audiences have today. And NOT just only so much as 21st century writers, actors, and producers would. Which I have to say seems refreshing.

Mostly. With a few exceptions here and there.

This movie actually seems to be mostly interested in portraying the times, people and settings of one important slice of the American West's history, conflicted ethos and conflicting cultures.

And Cage? He didn't really screw up the role of Miller all that much. His growing madness and obsessions seem believable. Which I found surprising, and applaud him for taking on this type of role. The rest of the limited casting seems to be pretty well done, and all believable.

Check it out. Would love to hear what you think?

If you’re near the lead, of the Masters, would you leave because your wife is giving birth?


My Vietnam wife would tell me to keep playing and win it or else. What horrible planning to have a baby during the Masters. Only thing worse is during Texas vs Ou game or start of deer season. Really any Fall weekend but I digress. Hope Scottie’s wife can hold on for just 7 more days.
