STOP DOING HEROIN
Training camps are underway and we're just one week away from the start of preseason. You know what that means:



Shut up Febreeze, football is coming back I don't care if the games don't count IT'S STILL REAL TO ME DAMNIT

Relevant dates for August:

Aug. 8: Pro Football Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony (this year's class: Jerome Bettis, Tim Brown, Charles Haley, Bill Polian, Junior Seau, Will Shields, Mick Tingelhoff, Ron Wolf)
Aug. 9: Hall of Fame Game, Minnesota Vikings vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Aug. 13-17: First preseason week
Aug. 20-24: Second preseason week
Aug. 27-30: Third preseason week

The final preseason games and roster cut deadlines don't come until September so I left those alone.

One more month.

Tyler Eifert was pretty much uncoverable in the first Bengals practice. Really good tight end or really lovely linebackers, taking all bets!


"COVER THE GODDAMN TE!" is basically my hello in the fall. You have no idea how happy I am that all the other TEs in the division are old, hurt and or slow.

Summer's gone quick for me. The offseason for SF has left me a little numb so I've mostly been focusing on non-49er stuff. It's been nice!

MIND GAMES...
On the autograph thing... what is the judgement if you have access to a practice field or pit lane or dugout and can get a dude to sign the pass? No trampling, but it seems like a grey area.

If you want an autograph, get one. If not, don't.

Bad, very bad!

quote:

The only autograph I ever got was from Kimble Anders when I was like 8 or 9. There was a long line and he talked to me for a few minutes about school. Cool dude. Beautiful smile.

From the last thread.

One of the football things that always makes me :smith: is how Kimble's career went down. I mean he still had a solid run and all but... After years of playing fullback the Chiefs didn't have anyone obvious to play halfback in '99, so they decide to give Kimble a shot there. First week he wasn't particularly good. The second week he's killing it, 142 yards on 21 carries against Denver. With the game basically over KC's running out the clock. On his 22nd carry Kimble crumples down in the backfield without anyone touching him, completely blown achilles.

He tried to come back the next year but you could see he wasn't the same.

Just ask. They can say no. Be polite. Unless it's a determined thing they have zero obligation.

Also if a big dude signs expect vultures to flock.

I was trying to figure out how he broke ribs in non-contact practice. Did he just sell out on a ball and fall really hard or something?

He laid out for a ball on a deflection. The initial speculation was that he had a concussion because he was hit in the head and slow to get up so I guess ribs are better than scrambling your brain.

Same. You get to be interested in the game and hope that they win and all, but if they lose, it's just preseason. If they win, you just stomped those other idiots, go team, you guys are going to make a big splash this season if you keep it up! You throw in a few more lies to yourself about the team's chances and with enough of them you'll no longer be able to tell the difference between the preseason and the regular season and suddenly the extended season you never dared to dream of is right in front of you. That's when Sam Bradford tears his ACL.

I don't think their is anything wrong with getting an autograph, its the basement dwelling retards with the fanny packs and binder full of team photos and head shots guy who knocks over little kids to try and get one who are the scourge of the earth.
