First Round Pick 2019, Rashan Gary

[pbmax]

Sure. At my age I will start a new career that is rife with nepotism and abandon my lifes work. Why not.

Good. You start on Monday.

I cannot find a GIF of Judge Reinhold getting a gift from his father when starting a new job just out of college in the movie Head Office. His mother sends him a lovely note. His Dad, a US Senator, gives him the book, "Winning Through Intimidation" with a note "Don't Screw This Up!".

I'm 52 and that's what I'm doing. It can be done. Hey, if you can make better moves than an NFL GM without scouts and an entire film department, just think what you could do with all that at your fingertips.

Sincere good luck. Cannot be easy. Same thing happened to my father, though he stayed in the same industry for the next job.

[Fritz]

He makes everyone better.

I try not to let the facts get in the way.

At first, I thought you were saying he was in trolls

He is in it and gives a great speech to the Board which conveys nothing of substance. Its fantastic.

Rick Moranis and Danny DeVito make cameos and are great. Jane Seymour has a few great lines. Boyfriend from One Day At A Time is in it too.

My favorite is the board scene where Eddie Albert approves a questionable sale of weapons. Beautiful.

Great, but I don't need the money, and I don't want the headache. I wish you well. My point simply is this. If you think Gutes, or TT or any of them are "special" I don't agree. They are talented people who dedicated their lives to NFL front office work. I did not. If I did, I have no doubt I would be a successful GM, or whatever I had set my mind to. Perhaps you would/will be as well. If I learned nothing else in life its that there are brilliant people as well as pretty below average people in most walks of life.

You sarcastically say I should go run a team. If we were in FYI I could use the same logic. If you know everything about politics go run for Governor....I mean, you are smarter than AOC right? So its a valid defeat of your argument...except it isn't, its a cop out flippant remark made by someone who has already run out of dissenting points. Its ok, I'm used to being right and having the dissenter resort to foolish remarks to pass for an argument...I deal with Partial in FYI all the time after all.

OK. Good points. But if you say “I could be a better GM’. I’m gonna flush you every time by your own argument.

Patler has a letter of recommendation for GM from woodblock I believe.

I did it at 47, and again at 65. Actually, I made abrupt, radical changes at 23 and 26, but those I consider to be finding my initial path. My kids laugh about it all, but I tell them I can't decide what I want to be when I grow up. That, and I get bored easily.

I had forgotten about that!

It can be a lot of fun. Actually I developed the second career as a way of paying for the first (carpentry and construction to pay for research). The first is gone because research institutes want their indirect $$$ from federal grants. Oh well, I’m making a mahogany table this week instead of a CRISPR monster in the lab. Go figure. That’s life.

You’d be a better GM than bobble.

Uh...Thanks??

In many ways, the mahogony table sounds much more satisfying.

I would love to see the Packers dangle Preston Smith and a #3 in exchange for Clowney. It might not be popular with players association because PSmith just signed but an arm chair quarterback can dream, right? Man, that would be a fantastic trade and the best off-season move since Chuck Woodson.
