“____, I chipped a nail” Danny Galieote https://dannygalieote.com/femme-fatale-series/

I'll confess that when I read this my first thought was "The Raiders QB room is so FUBAR that they're starting a Congresswoman from New York?" But hey, I'm not here to judge. Of course, the Broncos QB room now sounds like a personal injury law firm. "Did you or any of your loved ones watch Broncos football between 2016 and 2023? You may be entitled to financial compensation! Call the law firm of Stidham, Wilson, DiNucci and Nix for your free consultation today!"

Nope, I guarantee Vegas would have taken Nix if Denver hadn't. Because... ...they obviously had no plan for both Nix and Penix being unavailable, so they panicked and drafted a third TE. With the 13th overall pick. My Raiders do not disappoint! What they should have done was flip the script and picked up one of the elite defensive players that were still on the board as a result of the QB run. If you have to go into 2024 with AOC under center, build around Maxx Crosby and make a truly fearsome defense. If we can't score, no one will! Oh well, missed opportunities. I actually kind of understand this after a season of Desmond Ridder and Taylor Heinicke. Problem is with both Cousins and Penix on the roster they won't be able to afford any other players.

My witty tribute to Mike Pindar. Thanks for posting the song.

And Bo Nix might very well have been available later ... but after watching five quarterbacks go in the first 11 picks - including the aforementioned Michael Penix Jr. - if that's the guy you want, can you really take that chance? I don't know how much draft day grades really mean. Ask me again this time next year.

Having been to prison I can tell your I a good number of things about them. Incorrect. Task Force X used the prison as a cover. When it was launched in the 80s it showed normal inmates right along with TFX.

Methinks da Lakers gon be blowed up Real Soon Now. Denver spots LA the first 8 and the last 6...and still wins by 7. Neither team shoots the 3 ball worth a darn. Lakers force 6 more TOs...but Nuggets win the boards by 13 (!)...that's an area where the Lakers should win. It's reasonably fair to say that the Nuggets didn't play a great game...and still won on the road, basically dooming the Lakers. Again. The James-Davis pairing simply is not working, barring the COVID season. I'd even assert that their 2 round wins last year, were more the aberration...a short-term hot streak. It happens; look at the D'backs last year.

6 QBs, 7 WRs, 8 OTs and 1 center. 4 edge rushers, 1 DT, 1 DE, and 3 CBs. And 1 TE...guess who did this one. (Prisco gave it a C.) The strangest single move to me...Atlanta. Penix? After signing Cousins to a megadeal that basically runs the entire period of Penix' rookie deal? Yeah, it's only 1 draft, and factors exist like depth at some positions (CB in particular)...but it does suggest the broad priorities around the league. QB of course...Prisco dinged Denver because he thought Nix might be available later. WRs...never enough. Pass blocking...never enough. So I kinda get it, but yeah...it's a big shift to the offensive side of the ball. Or maybe the thinking is, other than the impact rusher...good players can be had later, and they can be fit into a decent scheme.

Are Flamethrowers Legal?

That’s a lot more effective, and cheaper, than a death ray. It also makes everything in Star Hero seem lacking in imagination.

Seattle drafts a DT at #16. Weird that the first defensive player picked was at #15.

I am not fully certain, and the lawyer I used to depend upon for questions like that is no longer available. OTOH, I already know my country is crazy. I have assumed for now that in my city at least I cannot own one personally, but private firms offering security services probably can own them after jumping through a few hoops.

6 QBs, 4 OTs, 3 WRs...and a TE by the Raiders. THEN the first defensive player...listed as an edge rusher. Yeah, get your QB or get protection for the QB, or get him another target. Talk about your lack of drama, at least so far. Vikes and Jets swap picks, with Vikes sending a bit more along with it, but nothing real major. Makes you think the Jets, who also need a QB badly, were perfectly happy to pass on both McCarthy and Nix...makes ya think they're in the "McCarthy didn't show much" category, at least.

The Broncos get Bo Nix at #12. I expect there are a lot of happy people in Donkeyland right now. It's been an interesting draft so far. Six quarterbacks taken in the first 12 picks, and zero defensive players. Says something about the state of the league right now, I suppose. Now, who will the Raiders get...?
