2023 NFL offseason thread

There's apparently a tradition here in a long line of stupid high school traditions where the seniors for a day chase each other through town, armed with water pistols. I had not heard of this supposed well-publicized stunt 'til this year, but I am sure that our well-armed and paranoid citizenry has.

So it's all good.

 

LMAO!

 

I was told in torts class that very few lawyers had pools or trampolines.

 

My attorney friend still delights in calling an ex-boyfriend an “attractive nuisance.”

 

I worked in a town where that was a thing. We decided we couldn't do a story on it because it would kill the tradition.

 

More than a few schools have done TAG (the assasination game), sometimes morphed into some less threatening Zombie game (still with guns) - seems to have "died down" in recent years for some reason.

 

The thing in our town is to get water guns and fill them with Orbeez and shoot it at people at school. The district and local police sent a letter home to parents and held a presser outside the station.

 

It's almost as if the Titans are trying to be the Angels of the NFL (minus a superstar or two, of course).

The Steelers have some history of focusing on bloodlines, acquiring children of former players and brothers of current ones. They had two Edmunds brothers. T.J. Watt's brother Derek played for them the last few years. Last year, they drafted Cam Heyward's brother Connor, who became a contributor later in the season. Joey Porter, Jr. wasn't the only draft pick this year with family ties to the team. They signed guard Nate Herbig in the offseason, then drafted his brother Nick in the fourth round.

I have seen criticism from fans for this, thinking that it was nepotism over getting better players in the cases of Derek Watt and Connor Heyward, but Mike Tomlin posted some of the reasons why the team does like having pairs of brothers.
