    Geezuz H! A young man, colleague, and friend died and his teammates want to make a gesture to honor him. To me, it sounds like, man we miss you and are sad you're gone way too soon. Anyone who sees some other sinister agenda, is just a straight up azzhole and doubling down on your own bullsh!t agenda is a total douche move. Get a grip.

    There’s not one word you’ve written I disagree with. WFT will always be the Skins, it is a nice gesture ( which I’ve said more than once ) even though it is a bit odd .

    My use of the word “Political “ was as stated directed at the NFL League Office , not the team in any way, and not about elected officials!!! I’ve attack no-one yet I’ve been verbally attacked, insulted, called, Broken Radicalized person, azzhole, live in a small world, full of Bull****, Douche Bag, probably left something out, and all this from The chief moderator who now basically runs this site and his minions. Even after an apology for using words they can’t handle or understand and trying to move past this the same ones continue to antagonize with insults including —— lessons on double speaking —- for if he had any sense of reading comprehension he’d know that wasn’t the case…. Yet because he yields the power he he is above approach and to hell with the rules!!!

    No wonder this once great site representing the Largest Fan Base of the NFL struggles to keep enough fans active to run a mock draft. There should be thousands of active fans here like it is on other sites.

    Go Steelers!!!

    Cajun——- Peace Out

    I don't partake in the mock draft because the one year gpguy invited me and several others we didn't take part in the way he thought was appropriate and got snippy with us. I had actually spent time and a small amount of money to research and get into the spirit of the draft and that put me off and I have never taken part of it again. In your attempt to slam Blast you have painted the board with a broad brush. We lost a lot of good members due to the kneeling episode but I'm sure there are a lot of members like me who just don't want to participate in a mock draft for whatever reason.

    Calling someone clueless isn’t an insult? It was you who broke the rules in the first place with your OP but you and a couple of others can’t help but include your politics on a sports board.

    I have No political leanings. I have voted on both sides, and now I don't even bother. Each ,and everyone of them have lied 2 Us....,and when it's a Democrat the democrats make excuses, and when it's a Republican, the Republicans make excuses. So now I choose not 2 care either way. :shrug:
    Neither side would bother 2 help Me if it didn't in someway further their carrier , opportunities, or pockets.

    Well to be fair I think that was the year beastly was in it and whatever team he had chosen he went complete fire sale with all his players and picks. I remember I had the Texans and like I said I did some research, bought a draft prep magazine and really tried to get into the mindset. I felt that Cushing was going to be let go because he got popped for steriods again. So I traded with the eagles for Casey Matthews for a hybrid safety/inside backer and took a tall wr because that was a big need for them at the time. That was when gpguy threw a fit about unrealistic trades and bad picks and it just turned me off about the whole experience. I'm sure that it's not like that anymore and you guys have fun I just didn't want to bring that negative energy into it.

    Then stop posting about it. You're wrong. Take your lumps and STFU. Or keep whining and keep getting kicked in the balls. IDGAF

    Someone keeps saying they are out then keeps posting the same foolish thing

    Remember kids always take your stupid pills

    A teammate on the roster died

    It’s a nice gesture

    Nothing more nothing less

    . Sorry for turning it back up Blast but I've been drinking whiskey since about 2 and watched the Vols pull out an OT win. Yeah it was against Pitt but I gotta rep the big orange.

    That is exactly why I posted about it. I thought it was funny, too.

    Patti may be a gamer, but he's not very good. So much for the idea that Pitt had some great offensive line.

    Receiver let him down on the 4th down play in OT. Could have been caught.

    Why is honoring a fallen teammate somehow a political issue? Like how and why? If one of our coworkers died suddenly, I guarantee that we all would do something for our fallen coworker. That's just human nature, in general. Color me confused AF.

    He was short of the line to gain anyways. Wouldn't have mattered.

    I get it. It is definitely frustrating experiencing all the division propagated by the very people that want to keep all us regular folks distracted and unable to unite. But we digress.

    When a person starts using the keywords the talking heads use to divide us just about anything can be made political. They’ve stopped using their brains and are just parroting the crap they’re inundated with on a daily basis.

    Yeah, it's multipurpose orange. Community service picking up trash along the highway during the week, hunting in the woods during deer season, and game day at Neyland stadium on Saturdays.
