This MFer needs to go plaid.
My film reviews never have gone plaid. I think my feelings are hurt.
French, many of us actually have to concentrate pretty hard to take full advantage of the wealth of knowledge in the film reviews (mason's excellent work included). My eyes could only handle so much plaid over thousands of words/video while trying to scroll back and forth between each paragraph and video to ensure I catch each detail.
I don't think we can upvote the actual column since you are TKP staff. Also review would be hard to read with a plaid background.
Woah, why is this plaid? I feel like i missed something...
Because I said so!
Seinfeld references are gold. GOLD!
Until you read/watch them then they are gray and kind of lifeless like the show.
(For the record, I did not like the show.)

Insert "you/joke" meme here, but substitute "you" with "TKP".
Yes yes, more like, "why" is it plaid. What are the qualifications? 100 upvotes? Or just arbitration?
+100
I think it's the 100 upvotes, but arbitration would get this one there as well.
former once a hokie always a hokie CJ Reavis is an UDFA with the jags as well.
Out of all the guys that have signed, I am pulling for this kid the most!!
I'm pulling for all of them.
James Clark received an invite to giants mini camp. no guarantees with that but hopefully he can show something and make something happen for himself.
For those like me who don't follow:
There are two ways into NFL rookie minicamps for the hundreds of college prospects who did not hear their name called during the seven rounds and 256 picks of the 2018 NFL Draft.
Undrafted free agent signees (UFAs or UDFAs) receive an actual contract, signaling an investment in and prioritization of a player. Tryout invitees only receive the stipend.
Players receive team-provided food, lodging and a modest per diem. During preseason training camp, rookies receive $1,075 per week and veterans receive $1,900 per week regardless of individual contracts.
While nothing is guaranteed in terms of a roster spot, the UFA is more likely to survive rookie minicamp and make it to the preseason and training camp with a shot to make the regular-season 53-man roster.
What's with Buffalo? Did Tyrod put in a good word for us? 2 draft picks and an undrafted free agent.
There was this:

And then this:
"I took it upon myself to during the weeks of vacation to go study from the teams that were really good
in college (football) such as Virginia Tech, LSU and Texas over the years," McDermott told the Reporter Online. "That was really, other than sharing football information and football knowledge; that was my only way of building awareness of what was out there."

I also remember something linking McDermott to us during his time at Carolina but I can't remember what that was.
He also went to school at W&M so he's been around a lot of Hokies at some point. In short I think he likes and is familiar with us.
Seeing Buffalo doing Tyrod dirty in every way they possibly could and then immediately acquiring three more of our guys is depressing.
They want everyone except one of our most dependable and athletic players ever.
Well i think they at least got a more athletic guy this year...
