Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Players I'd stand on a small mound of dirt for...)

Uber talented absolutely...

But we he a weird recluse and had a kind of swarmy vibe to him

I'm gonna say people like Justin Timberlake and Tom Cruise etc should be higher than him

My wife who is also about our age just told me she'd put him somewhere between 50-100 on her list.
Still at a loss for words.
 
It seems like he went and did a variety of things last season.

Interesting that he gets no benefit of the doubt from improved coaching, while every other player on the team seems to.
Agreed. Let's just hope the whole team rises up and benefits from new coaches. It's not just on him. Plenty players need to mature into leadership roles in order for this team to take the next step. Have a good week. :)
 
Yes Liverpool winning is like the Cleveland Browns winning, a Team that used To he good s long time ago, went thru a loooong period of wandering in the desert who now are winning

Liverpool is the Dallas Cowboys, not the Cleveland Browns.
 
I’d never put a child molester on my cool list. Was he cool in ‘83? Yes. But you are making the list now.

Replacement possibilities for the child molester:

Jamie Fox
Will Smith
Johnny Depp (although possible wife beater)
Leo D.
Brad Pitt
MJ
 
Good column.

- Bijan has an NFL body already. We might need to talk more about Ingram vs Robinson in training camp.

- You’re going to have a tough time choosing between Card and Milroe next year. Card isn’t getting a major advantage this offseason due to restrictions.

- If Texas beats OU, that means this team is knocking on the 10-win door.

- No thoughts on Cam to New England?

He wasn't just cool, he was insanely cool in 1983. As insanely cool as anyone has probably ever been.

I can't just ignore that this happened.

Or that it led to things like this.

I mean... the dude walked around with Brooke Shields, Bubbles and Webster at the same time and everyone was like, "Makes sense."

a. Bijan looks like a dude that's taking someone's job.

b. Card will have a major edge IMO. he already has a major edge in the reps and offense he comes from.

c. If it can avoid the pitfalls that always seem to bite Tom Herman teams.

d. Cam to NE happened just after I posted. I think that has a chance to work out really, really well for him.

Who are the three boys. Were they some of his victims?

By evil, do you simply mean hype over kids I've rated incredibly highly? I mean... I hype the hell out of every five star kid I rank.

I called Tommy Brockermeyer a 6-star.

Is that evil?
No, I mean, “Garrett Gilbert / Hudson Card is the QB that Greg Davis / Mike Yurcich has been waiting for his entire career“.

I have no issue with how much you hyped either quarterback. I’m fact, I suspect you’re going to be right on the money with Card.

I’m just joking about the similarity of the above, and crossing my fingers and toes that it isn’t a jinx!

Drayton’s RB rotation means who starts probably doesn’t matter. There’s only been one game in Ingram’s two year tenure when he’s had more than 20 carries. Drayton isn’t a “feed the beast” kind of guy.

this is a terrible take. Liverpool is one of the two greatest England clubs ever (along w ManU). They are definitely not the Browns. Red Sox or Alabama s the 2000s would be a better analogy. Past great programs that are poised to make a long sustained championship streak.
 
Both were on it at various stages today. Tough cuts. I had to get Swayze on the list.

somehow I also missed Kurt Cobain. Led the most influential band of the 90’s - he reached everyone and was globally recognizable.

The way I would think about this coolest guy list would be their persona outside of their popularity within their trade. i.e. Michael Jackson and Prince were everywhere and impacted so many, but in a similar way so was Jordan.

Junior was pretty cool but he was no MJ.

Keanu is fine but Pitt was more popular then, and probably still more iconic today.

I would give the nod to Cobain over Swayze, ultimately. Swayze was a star, but I think a broader set of people would say Cobain was iconic. Just think about his influence on hip hop etc.

I got you, but I also was insanely high on Sam Ehlinger and that's turned out well.

How much input does the OC typically have into RB reps in a game? Do we expect Yurcich to have a different view than Herman did when he was OC?

This is a feed the beast kind of school.

I need it for things like promoting articles, podcasts, etc..

I found myself in a position where it was pretty pointless to record podcasts if I can't let people know they've been made.

You'll notice almost every Tweet is content related outside of a Liverpool comment or two. I haven't been editorial at all.

I just know that when Swayze made Dirty Dancing, thew world stopped for almost every woman in the USA.
 
Leo or Pitt have been able to date how many supermodel caliber girls over quite a long span?

Prince has nothing on that sorry

As someone pointed out, Prince not only dated supermodel caliber women, but he changed their names along the way.

You think Prince dated hotter girls than Leo in quality and quantity?

I don't think you have a clear handle on who and what Prince was if you have to ask the question.

When Leo wants to get busy with those super models, he turns on a Prince song.
 
The man changed his name to a symbol in the 90s and no one batted an eye because he's a cultural supernova that transcended time for more than three decades.
No, the majority of folks thought it was goofy as hell, and either stopped worrying about him completely, or just kept calling him Prince. You were stuck in "Man, that is so cool," mode, and kept him on a pedestal. Pretty much anyone who dealt with him in a professional capacity describe him as uber-talented and uber-weird. If that meets your definition for "cool," then he was super cool to you....you've already had 10-15 dissenters on one post....I don't think his universal coolness is unquestioned. It isn't even unquestioned on this board.
 
We’re talking the same language. It will be interesting to see if Yurcich allows Drayton to determine his RB rotation or if he takes control of personnel decisions.
I never seen running backs coaches with the power that the running backs coaches of the last half-decade have had. It's a little strange for me.

Huff, he was a style icon for four decades.

Prince as goofy?

Hoo-boy...
