6'5 210? Needs to put on some weight but he looks like our next great TE to me.
Saaaaaahweeet

The crystal balls are starting to flip to VT, it appears:
In his last 2 seasons, Lawson has thrown for 43 TD's and only 9 INT's.
Now, I'm not saying that this directly translate to college, but these are the stats we need at QB. Start feeding that kid some Campbell's Chunky Soup!
247 says he had 17 rushing TD's in 2014.
If this happens, which QB currently on the roster transfers first?
Hands Up Leal..
Durkin. Hands down, Durkin.
Durkin won't be going anywhere as long as Scot Loeffler is the offensive coordinator. He was directly recruited by Loeffler and made the choice to attend VT before even visiting.
Ford, I have no idea. But I think both stay. Two QBs in one cycle can be a bit awkward, but I feel like it is smart to try and land one QB every cycle that you believe can win games in your conference. Some won't pan out. Other times you may have someone win a job and get hurt. VT was very lucky during Tyrod and Logan's time at QB to not have injuries when they had zero depth behind them. As we saw with Vick (forced to play Grant Noel vs Miami in 2000), you need to have someone behind your starter who has starter level ability. Not Dave Meyer/Nick Sorenson/Ju Ju Clayton.
That's not fair to Dave Meyer. I'd take him over any of our recent back ups.
edit: Great article about Dave. Wouldn't this be the perfect back-up quarterback? http://archive.techsideline.com/columns/2001/stewart32.htm
I also imagine we will have package plays for Durkin down the road no matter who the QB is. (ala Duke, Florida with Tebow as a freshman)
Very good point. Yes, incredibly lucky given Tyrod and Logan's mobile-ness. What about Motley?
Say what you want about Sorenson but he had a nice long NFL career.
On the other side of the football
yes, if by "the other side of the football" you mean special teams.
I recall him playing as a DB also.. but either way, the original point about him not being a starter level QB still stands
Yep, pretty sure he played safety. And got burned by FSU so badly that we put Midget at safety and put at CB a freshman who had a lot of hype named Ronyell Whitaker (who made the cover of SI (getting beat for a TD while committing a PI)).
I was referring to him playing DB in the NFL.. at least for a few years anyway
French. First you downgrade Kendall Fuller. Now you're smack talking Deep Ball Dave. You trying to start something here?
Obviously French forgot how he could make those throws into far-away trashcans.
Meyer was good. I agree. I would take him any year.
He was good enough to beat Pitt in 98 with me in the stadium, so no hard feelings for Long-Ball Dave. But, there were lots of running plays that day.
Those VT-Pitt games from that era were great.
Meyer played against miami in 2000. Not Noel
Good catch.
It's pronounced: Danny Coale
Seems to be true according to VTScoop, but just a reminder that this 'VT Recruiting' twitter account is far from an official account, and it's still just part of the #sources crowd for all we know
I did not know that. Thanks for setting me straight. Had I known that I probably wouldn't have posted.
No worries, I'm pretty sure it's a fan-made account but probably get most of their info from 247, Rivals, etc.
#SOURCES: Always incorrect when spreading bad news, but never wrong when the news is good
Given the success of Miami's freshman QB, this makes sense.
I wish he was an EE but I am still very glad to get him if he does indeed switch.
cringe.gif
Anyone have a timeline of when anything will happen on this?
Speaking to some Canes friends of mine, they're expecting him to flip, but would like to somehow be able to hold onto him. There isn't much playing time available at QB for Miami with Kaaya likely being entrenched for the next couple years, so a few of their QB recruits are looking to bail. Lawson supposedly is a bit of an underrated get, and should pay off for us if we get him.
i like the sound of an 'underrated' 4*.
Do you really consider them your friends?
Friends-ish, I guess
Closest I'd ever want to stand to a Canes fan, that is
Yeah, boss is pretty salty about this one, isn't it delicious?
BEEP BEEP did someone say SALTY??
I like how he's been trying to say that Miami is getting the better end of the deal because they've been able to flip a couple low 3* OLmen while we are flipping Lawson. I mean, don't get me wrong, we need OLmen, but the guys we're getting are of the high quality variety.
vt's world renowned dinning hall will get this kid to 6'6 and 250 lb in no time if he flips to Hokienation.
Strange, the dining hall never made me taller...but I did get heavier.
You obviously never used one of Shultz Hall's late 80's era subs as a step-stool. They worked well in a pinch.
In the late 90's it was the Detrick Dash. You couldn't put on weight eating there because you deposited it about 5-10 minutes after eating. Very glad to hear that it has gotten MUCH better in the past few years.
So it was originally Tech's Taco Bell?
I would say worse.
I doubt you have been to taco bell then.
One of my friends found an unrolled condom in his pasta. This was about a week after he found a spring from a pen in his food. Taco Bell would be a step up from Detrick.
Edit: For clarity, he found those items in his food in Detrick, not Taco Bell.
To be fair, Dietrick has come a long way since the 70s when the nickname was DieQuick.
My freshman year it was Dietrick and then sophomore year it was D2. D2 was so much better. I think I maybe only ate at Dietrick twice and that was because we had a big group of people and West End was packed.
It's come a long way since the 90's as well. Good for them.
They actually have already announced that they're going to revamp the entire menu. I got a chance to see a lot of what they want to do when I used to work there (switched jobs over the summer) and if they can pull it off it'll be fantastic. As a former employee, though, I have absolutely zero confidence in them being able to pull it off. The student staff aren't there long enough to help with any of the prep, their job is to serve, clean up the shop, then the dining area. The actual staff.....well......I mean no disrespect but I haven't been back since I left the job. Spent waaaay to much time there and learned way too much.
Taco Bell is like banging an ex-girlfriend. It feels great while you are doing it, but you feel like complete shit afterwards and question what you were thinking.
and yet next time you're drunk at 1am....
Taco Bell am crunch wraps are the best fastfood breakfast item out there, I think. Sure there other stuff is no good, but these are great.
umm....hello....cheesy gordita crunch.....
It went from $2.49 to $2.99 overnight at my local taco bell. Not pleased one bit.
I have no problem with the Bell but I can't bring myself to try breakfast there.
It is well worth it. The AM crunchwrap is on point.
I felt the exact same way when they first started advertising the breakfast. I tried on the insistence of my girlfriend, now I'm a huge fan. Do your self a favor and give the am crunchwrap a try.
OK. I'll try one tomorrow morning and report back.
RIP
I recommend starting with a regular sausage wrap. Tortilla filled with hashbrown, sausage, egg, cheese, and jalapeno sauce(this is optional, also great with out it). Then transition to the Country wrap where you take all that but replace the jalapeno sauce with sausage gravy. It is gooooood. my wife likes the california wrap.
The Taco Bell near my house was closed for renovations so I will have to try another day. My apologies to all who endured a sleepless night waiting for my review.
Taco Bell "renovations" = monthly toilet repairs
FTFY
The cinnabon delights are amazing
Just tried them last night. I got home wishing I had bought more.
They're about 80 calories apiece, so you can eat 25 of them each day on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. That's how nutrition works, right?
After doing Fire Inspections at Subway, Taco Bell and other fast food places I REALLY limit where I eat. Seeing behind the scenes is scary.
I hear ya. I used to pressure clean hoods & ductwork way back in the day. Never did any fast food places, surprisingly enough.
Believe it or not, Mexican places were the best. We'd roll in after they closed, and they'd have their illegals shoulder deep in the ductwork wiping it out before we even got started. Filters & hoods were spotless. I'm barely joking when I say I'd eat off the floors in those places.
It's been years, so take that with a grain of salt.
Worst places: Chinese restaurants. Those guys as a rule seemed to thinking cleaning was beneath them. Prep surfaces piled with offal. Spills from God knows when festering hear and there. And the grease build was like a thick silicon cement you had to peel off with a zero-tip at 180 degrees. And then they'd try to stiff you on the bill.
We came into one place after hours. I'm not going to name it because I don't want anyone to get litigious, but they may or may not have been on Draper Ave. They were on their way out, and just told us to lock up when we left. It was dark in the kitchen, and my partner grabbed me before I stepped in and said "Is the floor... moving?"
We reached in and flipped on the lights, and it was like a horror movie -- they were everywhere, shiny and creepy and scattering for the dark recesses. My partner looked at me, and in his best Indiana Jones said "Cockroaches. Why did it have to be cockroaches?"
We got done with that place, locked the doors, stripped down to our underwear and sprayed each other off, and tossed our clothes in the dumpster.
Glad we didn't get pulled over that night.
The place that may or may not have been on Draper may or may not have been closed at least once (maybe twice?) by the health department during my time at VT. It may or may not have also been the place where all of my friends who ate there may or may not have gotten very ill at least once.
Anyone familiar with Pal's Sudden Service? My first job was at a Pal's and that place was seriously like hospital level clean. Once a week the ENTIRE restaurant got wiped down floor to ceiling with a bleach solution. They had us climb on top of the freezers in the back to wipe them down. I would feel safer eating food from Pal's than food made in my own kitchen.
Pal's is home to mostly the East TN area. It's the only fast food place I eat at when I have to. Glad to know it is clean.
I will be having Pal's tomorrow night after I drive from Orlando to Bristol. Pal Barger is an ex-marine and knows how to run a business right. Over the years Pal's has garnered national attention for their innovative and efficient processes as well as how their business is run at the top levels.
And the food is delicious. Most of it. Here lately they've experimented with the menu and had a few misses. Mainly the grilled chicken sandwiches and the philly steak on a hot dog bun thing.
Really? I loved the Philly dog. Never had the big chichen but the chipped ham is a fave of mine and I'd always imagined the big chicken was similar.
Their breakfast is amazing as well.
Breakfast is awesome (CHEDDAR ROUNDS!!!!). And yes, the big chicken is as amazing as the chipped ham. Big chicken isn't on the menu anymore but you can still order it.
Toasted cheese with bacon. Omnomnomnom.
That sounds really good. Is it true that one should avoid the sauceburgers?
Not if you love the taste of salt posing as tomato sauce.
The chiliburger, however. Oh my gentle Jesus.
Yeah, ordered 2 sauce burgers a month back for my first time. I was done for the rest of the day.
I know your pain.
Pals is the best
#teampals
Just finished my big chicken, frenchie fry, and peach tea: extra peach. I am in heaven.
Dietrick. Good lord. I'd go there with my buddies, walk back to dorm, and we all just walked into the bathroom.
Actually, there wasn't much walking...
I lost 15-20 lbs. my freshman year eating at Owens in 75-76. Went straight from the dining hall to stall #3 on the 2nd floor of Miles Hall.
Second floor of Miles Hall!! Hell yes! I was there 08-09.
2nd floor Miles Hall 84-85. Owens wasn't any better then. Thank goodness for Ramen noodles.
I like 6'6" 260 better. Rolls off the tongue.
Love it if true. Competition breeds success. Hopefully Ford doesn't leave, I think he will be pretty darn good.
Welcome! Giving you a leg so that you can stand, you can't stand on only one leg.
Sycamore Deli Meatball Sub was tops! Haven't tried them since they've moved from Turner St.
Meatball Mondays. 5 bucks gets you sub, chips, drink, pickle and cookie. Miss that place.
Legs for the user name. I really want a Roxanne or a Mini Me now.
If we could only get an OL to keep him upright
If we land our top two prospects left at o-line, it may be the least of our concern in years to come. A lot of the guys we have committed right now have SEC size.
Thomas and Nijman? Or are you considering Nijman as DT?
Nijman will be defense if he comes here, the one I was referring to would be Isaiah Prince and Kenny Thomas. I believe we are thicker in that race than most believe.
We're gonna need a separate depth chart for Isaiahs and Adonises.
And Fords while we're at it.
Yeah, I'm not including Prince.
I could see us adding one more OL body that isn't on our current radar.
The Hokies can always just beef up the extra quarterbacks and put them on the line.
Wha- lah.
Brewer could add a few lbs this offseason and be a solid candidate at LT for us.
At 5'11"? No offense but the only reason why I want him near the line is taking the ball from the Center.
hey Rashard Ferebee was 5'8" and he played OL...though Beamer himself said he "provided depth"...so, yeah.
He's definitely tough enough!
A few pounds? He's at what, 200? He'd need to add almost 100 pounds....in one offseason. Like Jarrod, only in reverse.
I really didn't think the /sarcastica was required for my post given how ridiculous it was and purely joking.
I knew you were joking, so was I. Just building off of your joke.
Wow, a Miami recruit flipping to VT? Bizzaro world
What happened to yesterdays rumor that someone was announcing?
Probably Nijman. He committed today!
Forget LT comparisons, he's more of a Cam Newton clone. Far quicker than LT.
No surprise here. The Josh Sweat commitment freed up multiple positions on our roster, hence the flood of recruiting news over the last few days. Although having one guy play 9 positions simultaneously would have really eased our recruiting budget.
I never would have been able to figure out what that tweet said on my own.
This is why TKP is fantastic! I see 20 unread comments on the Lawson article and come in expecting some recruiting updates only to find a lengthy discussion on the merits of Taco Bell's breakfast menu. #winning!
NO! Keep things on topic or some people won't ever come back here again! /sarc
That's it...i'm outta here!
I DISLIKE THIS EXTREMELY AND I'M USING ALL CAPS TO PROVE IT!!!!! RAAAAARRRRRGH!!!! /s
I find this image offensive.
NOW you have crossed a line!
Not every day you see a pirate with a six-foot cutlass.
She said.
That's what.
Some assembly required.
hahaha. Can we just post "BEAMER4PREZ!" every time we want to convey this sentiment? It would save keystrokes...
No, it has repeatedly been stated that it is unacceptable to do this.... IMO
#B4P
Make it so.
After reading other posts, I meant to say: STAY ON TOPIC YOU ASSHOLES!
I think I will add "stay on topic, you assholes" to my list of "Things the Moderator Should Say Periodically."
That's nice and all, but what are your thoughts the Lawson story?
Apparently she's leaving the show after Thursday's Christmas Special.
I liked her character at first, but it just got overly annoying this year.
Who is it and what show?
Clara (Jenna Coleman) on Doctor Who
Ah, I stopped watching when they introduced Matt Smith as the doctor. He just didn't fit the roll to me.
Doctor Who
GF is a fan - I just enjoy the scenery.
you mean Doctor HOT DAMN!!
Im lol'ing so hard right now
VERY well done, krak_t, thank you for this.
Thank you, thank you.
Try the veal, and, don't forget to tip your stripper. (Especially if you show up with a buddy who is drunk and too handsy. O-Line sized bouncer was very specific about how a big tip was a good way to avoid accidental bone trauma on the way out of their establishment.)
He just decommitted from Miami. Big.
It's funny how 247 lists Miami as the favorite still.
Uh maybe because his early commitment to daU still officially stands (teeeheee)
ismiamibakyet?
I love it! I'll take all the QBs (and o-linemen)
Well it makes sense, who would you want to compete with for PT, Kaaya or Brewer?
That doesn't mean there won't be some fun times in the BL today, though....
Might have to kick that hornet's nest a couple times today
I believe Lawson also has some interest in South Florida, still believe we are the favorite.
We should rename this the Taco Bell thread.
It does keep running.
Um, I see what you did there.
HYPOTHETICAL:
if lawson commits, what's next years 3 deep at QB?
Guessing Lawson redshirts...
1) Brewer
2) Durkin/Motley battling for a mobile threat role
Brewer, Motley, Ford but necessarily in that order
That is my guess. It seems Leoffler runs a pretty complex system and that year to learn it seems like it will be needed.
Brewer. Motley whoever doesn't have class.
Our QB depth chart is like school on Saturday.
(Note to self.....stop clicking on this thread with the expectation of reading any new, useful information on the expected commitment of Mr. Lawson.)
If only he read this thread, saw how it was dragging along, and decided to put any doubts to rest by signing already... If only I could motivate myself to actually do my work today
No lie, unless you are starving to death.
Following all this recruiting during the downtime and intecipation leading up to the bowl game. Following everything Sweat, Reynolds, Deberry, Hines, Lawson, you name them. Now matter how rediculous the thread is getting...
Flux Pavilion ~ I can't stop by Dewee_DubstepExp
WHY WON'T THESE @$$HOLES STAY ON TOPIC?! I MEAN REALLY. WE'RE GETTING OVERWHELMED, NOTHING WE DO CAN STOP THEM...
...ARRRRGH GOODBYE, CRUEL WORLD...
If you've been bitten, I'm afraid we're going cut off your right hand.
Just because I like throwing things even more off topic and you used a World War Z gif (I assume, haven't actually seen it), has anyone here the zombie movie 28 Days Later?
Not technically a zombie movie as those infected with the rage virus aren't dead.
And they move fast.
Kids these days with their fast zombies.
In my day, we had the numbing inevitability of our demise by the inexorable creep of slow zombies and our own stupidity. But mostly our own stupidity.
And we liked it.
NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD!!!!!!!
But seriously, my generation has really screwed up a lot of things. Zombies are now fast and vampires sparkle. Shoot me now, please.
You and your technicalities. Fair enough though. I suppose I called it that because it left me feeling like a zombie. The sequel was even worse
It basically is a zombie movie in every sense, though. Just easier to kill than Romeroesque zombies. Kind of a tradeoff for being fast and strong.
Movies like the remake of Dawn of the Dead where they are kill the brain zombies but also fast and strong are just overkill, IMO.
Personally I'll take the shambling horde of NotLD and the Walking Dead over the Sprinting Dead any day.
Am I the only one here who's first encounter with zombies came from playing the original Resident Evil on PS1? Because I have see no mention of it yet, and Ill take my Bio Weapon Virus Zombies nice and slow non of that fast crap we save that for the Hunters and Lickers.
Oh, for... SERIOUSLY??
28 Days Later was the best "zombie" movie in the last decade plus, perhaps specifically because they weren't undead. They weren't super fast or super strong, or any other weirdness. Just human and relentless, which is scary enough
In my day we called zombies "the T-100"
Ah, World War Z. The movie that had everything I loved about the title of the book.
(Yes I know I stole that joke from Honest Trailers but it's so damn true)
*sees new comment on Lawson thread*
*knows there's no announcement made*......."or has there?!?!"
*clicks*
*new taco bell/zombie tangents*
*let down*
*reads french's comments again anyway*
*f5*
*sees new comment on lawson thread*
LOL
*stunned*
Amazing work. A better replica of the effects of the chalupa on the human body there is not.
I believe it should be the players call and timing, not when the coach wants it or when it's convenient for the coach...
Aint that the truth, kinda off. However, Lawson's tape is very impressive. Throws the ball very well, especially on the run. Can run very well also, I saw somewhere else that he was compared to Scam Newton. Im not a big fan of him, but he was great in college. Lawson does remind me of a slimmer Scam running and throwing the ball. Would be a big addition to this class and some real talent.
Lawson wants to be the greatest QB to play the game and wants to graduate. At Tech he can be that and more with players like Bucky, Cam, I. Ford catching his balls.
In other words, catching his bullets.
According to 247, Lawson has set a decision date. It is behind paywall so that is all I know.
Based off this thread I assume it will be at taco bell, in the morning, and attended by zombies.
#sources
If we land Lawson I will eat 2 AM Crunchwraps one
morning next week.
I'd call in sick that day because your productivity will probably go to crap.
Or at least bring a "do not disturb" sign to put on the bathroom door at work.
I'm in!
Lawson committed so, as promised, I stopped by Taco Bell this morning. I got a bacon and egg AM Crunchwrap. Not bad. I will not likely have another but it was not a horrible experience.
It will be in a couple hours.
Here lies MPHOKIE. May he Rest in Piece.
He was most remembered for saying things like "I had taco bell for breakfast." and "Oh no, why did I have taco bell for breakfast. I clearly have not trained well enough."
He was outlived by his dog and/or cat and/or gold fish as they were lucky enough to eat dog/cat/fish food instead of taco bell.
He will be missed.
I do not want to know what that kind of training entails.
this:
Funny story. Just heard my next door coworker tell his wife how many soft shelled tacos he wants for lunch. RIP community toilet.
I believe the training entails the training of entrails..all to the tune of "The Rain in Spain".
Sing with me now...
I can find the door.
So far, so good. I did have to make a quick walk/run up the hall this afternoon.
Sooooo obviously we can't keep on topic. What new shenanigans shall we get into today? Wizards? Christmas? Taco bell wizards? Zombie Christmases?
Ok I'll start it off. I'm a huge NBA fan, the Wizards are my team. I invite you all to tune in tonight at 6PM Eastern time to catch us hopefully beat down the Phoenix Suns. If you don't know what to watch for, pay attention to John Wall, the point guard. He is playing out of his mind right now and looks like a top 5 PG in the league. The WizKids are currently 19-6, good for second in the Eastern Conference. That is tied for the best start in franchise history and a win tonight would put this team in the record books.
I too am a Wiz fan. It has been hard at times but I have joked often these last two years that it is a strange time when I am looking forward to the Wizards saving my other teams' collective seasons. About a week after the all-star break last year I told my GF that they figured out how good they CAN be and would make the playoffs. When they made a good postseason run and lost, she asked was I disappointed and simply told her that I couldn't be mad, I watched a team that learned not only how good they could be but, one that learned how good they had to be to WIN (consistently). I look at them this year and felt an air of confidence before the season (plus paul, humphries and blair didn't hurt) that told me this will be a very special season. Now it is still to early to say "I told you so," but I feel as though i will be telling a few folks that next summer/ late spring.
Now, long story short I feel the same way about this Hokie team as I did about that Wiz team last year. Will the '15 team be this years Wizards (thus far)?
Weeezards fan here as well.... Besides Wall who is playing like a top 5 PG like you said, I think what will take them far into the playoffs this year will be their DEEP bench. Hopefully they can maintain their 3 point shooting all year long as well. This team is very fun to watch night in and night out. Can't wait until the playoffs this year.
Welp, now I know who to blame for putting the hex on the WizKids last night. Probably second worst game of the year from them behind the Toronto game this season. Last night was painful to watch.
:( I know, now I know to keep it away from this forum. Hopefully we start another long win streak tomorrow though.
It's the damn name! Go back to be called the Bullets! They are doomed forever as the Wiztards!
Because they were winning back to back Championships as the Bullets...
Somebody please start another Lawson thread, I will beg!
I'll admit, it crossed my mind to make an "OT: Off Topic: REALLY OFF TOPIC" thread.
The only thread worth posting after this initial news is when he commits somewhere. If he commits to VT, Joe will be on top of that news.
Does anyone know when he will decide I saw 247 posted behind the wall, but I understand how touchy it is not to post that on a free site.
I just tried, but don't have enough legs.
You only need hands with fingers. I don't see how legs help much in this case.
When I attempted to post a new topic it advised I needed 44 turkey legs to post.
Lol just playing with you man I know you needed turkey legs. It was sarcastica. We like to joke around on TKP. Maybe to much at times. As for Lawson its looking like we are at the mercy of paysites/ paywall so might as well wait for the "Hokies pick up 2015 QB Lawson", or something to that effect, thread. More than likely this this thread will *go to shit* or die and come back again.
Just gave you number 44. Happy posting!
Well I haven't posted in a long time I guess they changed the guidelines! Yes, the paysites I use to frequent several of those sites until I found the most awesome Hokie site.
More off topic comments than fans at my spring game.
Maybe you could call it the Charlottesville Bowl and try to convince your fans that it's an actual bowl game? They don't have enough experience to know the difference.
Snthap!
UVA versus Washington & Lee in the Condescension Bowl. If you win, tea and crumpets for Monticello for everyone.
And the loser gets donuts, as usual.
I went to Washington-Lee high school. I think LOLUva would probably win against WLHS. Probably.
UVA versus Washington & Lee in the Condescension Bowl. If you win, tea and crumpets for Monticello for everyone.
Posting twice won't get you extra legs.
Kind of off topic but for some reason I'm not too high on Motley he didn't really impress too much and the UVA game was the nail n the coffin for me. I think he is the odd man out next year.
On Topic - The Doritos Locos Taco's are awesome...but soft shell tacos will always be my go to.
Motley impressed me running against Duke. I know he had a lot of injuries hampering him this year but I know he has a ton of potential we haven't tapped into yet. I'm looking forward to see who comes out of the Spring's QB competition on top.
Agreed. He's shown some good things in the past year or so, but doesn't seem to really have all that strong of a grasp on the offense right now. Maybe when he's actually practicing we'll see some improvement.
Considering he only practiced scout team for the first 7 or 8 games of the season we shouldn't be surprised that he was rusty and not fully in tune with what the offense was doing. Even once he was thrown back in the mix he still wasn't getting first team snaps either.
Hopefully VT has a fully open QB competition in the spring and, if necessary, the fall to ensure we've got the best QB behind center come the start of next season.
"fully open". The freshmen no longer have the redshirt opportunity hanging over them, so I think everyone will have to be considered, as well as the question "who is the QB of the future". Are we playing the best man for the job in 2015, or looking ahead to 2016? Or does the "future" start with the No. 2 QB or the "special package" QB?, with the best man for the job right now being the starter?
Good questions.
Needs more quotation marks though.
"I keed". :D
"IMO."
You mispelt "cowbell." HTH

does tyrod still have any eligibility?
ADHD thread of the year!
No kidding! Everytime I see all the comments I am sure there is some real news. :-(
Hard to believe but check this tweet from Houshun Gaines. Check the restaurant behind him.
And last week we had Worilds colliding (with Ryan).
And the yellow flag that made me swear off the NFL for the foreseeable future.
I can't access twitter at work. Can someone repost or at least discribe it. I do want to guess though, is the resturant a Taco Bell?
It is indeed a Taco Bell
YES!!! what do I win?
Taco Bell, duh.
Is that really winning though?
Quite the collection of lanyards there
