Guys I love the posting. I am honestly not going to read through them all cuz I have family in town but I’m glad I could entertain DB.
Champ Bailey was flying with he Thunderbirds today. In Cheyenne. I love him.
Thanks again to Dum and Demaryius and all the other guys who visited another hospital today. We have the best team ever!
THis second guy is shooting a snub nosed .22. The gun is very inaccurate and hardly has the punch to get through clothing. (But I bet it hurts like a son-of-gun!!! LOL)
Even Cat!
Hi ya Cat!!!
Evening Cat, I meant. LOL
So Daddy, did you finally get to stuff your face? LOL
Help me out Cat…to cane…as in the Asian method of public corporal punishment. How do you spell cane-ing?
I was eating noodles with a pocket knife. Pretty classic. Too lazy to run to the kitchen!!!
You Animal. HaHa!
DId you see the video I posted?
not yet.
I cleaned the knife on my t-shirt and put in back in my office drawer – until next time!!! Don’t tell my wife…shhhhh!
You have to watch it a couple of times to figure out the different camera angles because they are clipped together security camera videos.
Mums the word. We can`t forget, chicks rule. LOL
That was cool. That dude tagged em. HaHa!
DB it would be caning!
Are you all still here?
No, I’m out! LOL I’m watching a movie. Why doesn’t that spelling look right?
Because it is too close to canning and we say canning much more than caning. My opinion! Know why we don’t have u’s in colour and we spell theater theater instead of theatre!? Did you know w is a vowel sometimes?
I suppose you could say someone was sugar caning but that just sounds silly. I am full of useless information.
I will tell you this before I go to bed…
1. Champ Bailey rocks.
2. We spell theatre theater and colour Colorado because Webster despised England. That’s it finitio silliness comes from writing words down and changing them due to disdain! LOL
Well it should color but for some reason it changed it to Colorado. I am not going to complain about my silly self correct this time! To Colorado! Cheers! Live long and prosper you ridiculously awesome state!
LOL
Just to clarify, in no way did I say we should rewrite the constitution, and deny people the right to bear arms. However, I do think the ease in which one obtains firearms in our country should be addressed, as well as what is made available, like the 100 round drum magazine and combat gear purchased online without a background check.
Failure to learn and adapt from misfortune is a tragedy in itself.
Moving on to football…..
Hey OT, I would imagine you are pretty pumped about the trade your rangers just pulled off? What a steal, Nash is going to have a huge year in New York.
Yup, the rangers should have another solid year now that they got some of the goal scoring they’ve been missing……..they gave up a nice bit but I think it’ll be worth it.
socal- single game tickets jus went on sale yesterday so stub hub will probably be your only bet… monitor it weekly though bro especially when it get close to the game you wanna go to. Someone will have something come up and be desperate to get rid of them days leading up to that game. Worked for me the first time I made it out to Denver in 08.
They basically gave up Dubinsky!! They ripped Columbus right off! NYR even got a conditional 3rd! I am upset Colorado couldnt have put together a package like that. Oh well. Almost training camp time KK!! Who do you think will make the team as a starter that noooo one would have expected to even make the team?
Colorado is of Spanish origin, meaning “colored red.” It came into use after the discovery of gold in the Pike’s Peak region because of the red sandstone soil of the region, when the Spaniards first came thru the territory.
Bronco or Broncos is also of Spanish origin meant to describe a rough/wild horse…. ie (mustangs of the western U.S).
Rbf1 well there you go! LOL that’s awesome!
I’m gonna say this about gun control… mo matter the restrictions, crazy people are always going to find the weapons they want or need. We need to be aware of that.
hmmmmmmmmmm, that’s a good question scalp……….
I’m gonna say Trevathan………..he’ll have an awesome camp and the Broncos will cut ties with DJ, leaving Trevathan the starting OLB.
How you like them apples? LMAO
Scalp one guy who I think will make it that I have heard next to nothing about is Coryell Judie. I have mentioned him a couple times. Gerrell Robinson is another player I think will make the team. PS for both at least IMO
Very solid answers gentlemen, I personally havent really thought about it. I jus wanted to steer the convo towards the great game of football again lol I definitely will be more in tune to training camp this year then I have been in years past.
I like Omar Bolden to start and kick and punt returner, but I also think people expect that so I’ll have to think liner about it scalp
Liner=longer
good ol auto correct ahah
Cat I really like Bolden. I just hope we dont have him returning this year because of his ACL.
I actually had him come to mind too Cat but didnt suggest it for the same reason you mentioned lol. I really hope all these draft choices make at least some what of an impact this year. So pumped for the Wolfe!
I also think one of our pass rush packages will be Doom Wolfe Jackson Ayers and Miller.
I think Fannin will have an impact this year as well………….he won’t start cause we all know that’s McGahee’s job…….but I think he’ll be in the mix and see ample touches…………specially if McGahee wears down.
AB that is the plan from everything I’ve read thus far, but perhaps Bruton will do that instead.
I like Fannin, like JJ a lil more though hope Ball gets the axe!
For my question I could almost say Moreno because its my understanding that about 80% of the blog thinks hes toast haha
IMO we have two CFAs who can do the returning with Page and Judie. I like Bolden a lot and really dont want to have him out there returning this year.
I don’t want us to take a chance on Moreno and then he gets hurt again, but I don’t want us to release Moreno if hes going ti be a beast. I am torn.
Cant say I know much about any of the CFAs we picked up!
Moreno Ball and Willis all should get the ax IMO
But I wouldnt mind seeing Moreno stay this year and be used exclusively in screens.
I disagre AB. People recover from injury every day and he is a beast at returning. One of his specialities.
Exactly, I am willing to give him this year because he is cheap and if Manning cant get something out of him, no one will lol
