2023 NFL Draft Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
LionJim....Yep I left that out thus not to be overly "Get off my lawn" along with a specific undertone-It really bothers me, here's why...
Lets start with the clothes and jewelry===BE MODEST--your an Athlete not a Hollywood star or Musician
The God stuff...sigh...stop being SHEEP....use your own words. Heres what you should say...
"I would like to thank my Mom and other family members, my youth coaches, my high school coach and the University of ABC." Why isnt their College Coaches or some mentor telling these boys that? Unless your really religious come on...I want them all to succeed...but some life skills in decorum is needed. And this is why Athletes wreck fast cars and have other issues off the field/court...SMH
So, you want them to use their own words, but to all use the same generic, meaningless template that you put forth?
And even though they're entertainers, paid to entertain by throwing a ball around, catching a ball, running with a ball, or smashing into people, they should ... for some reason ... dress modestly, not like the people who play music or act ... even though NFL players wear a gaudy uniform to play the actual game?
Well, that's one take.
Here's another ... if you're going to post that incoherently and in such an illiterate fashion, maybe decide not to post at all.

Little hypocritical I get your points, I was paraphrasing what should be said ..but I got youLets start with the clothes and jewelry===BE MODEST--youryou are an Athlete not a Hollywood star or Musician (this is a ridiculous statement. Athletes are amongst the most elevated members of our society, whether you like it or not. Athletics has always been an elevated aspect of society dating back to the Greek Empire. Sheesh)yourthe cranky old white guys in Audience doesn't like that look---most people who are cranky old white guys think you look ridiculous and its not a great representation of your family name--mother or father or both.
And because we are cranky old white guys, we get to decide what is and what is not a great represeentation of your family name, and we have decided it's the way you dress for the NFL draft,; not the kids you have out of wedlock, not the way you barely kept yourself academically eligible, not way you have treated women - because those are all acceptable. It's just the way you dress for the NFL Draft.

"I would like to thank my Mom and other family members, my youth coaches, my high school coach and the University of ABC."
So, you tell the players to stop being Sheep, use their own words, and then you proceed to tell them what to say? Wouldn't that just make them....Sheep?
Good grief, dude, you are a bit of a hypocrite.
PSU's best player...Niners got a steal.
I was really hoping the Eagles took him, but no they took the wrong Brown. (Still like the pick)
No...just think Brown does more. Thought you could have gotten Porter later...but I never coached a down of football, so what the hell do I know!
Your honesty is worth 3 scones and 2 lattes!
I thought Porter was a good pick at #32. I’m such an a$$hole.
What antics are you referring to?
FYI. I’ve told this story before but it’s worth repeating. A friend of mine ran into Porter Sr. at the Miami airport after he left the Steelers and was with the Dolphins. My buddy went up to him and said he was a big Steeler fan and always liked his play and thanked him for his time in Pittsburgh. He said Porter was cordial, thanked him for his support, said he was appreciative, and that he will forever be a Steeler no matter what. Moral of the story, the emotional player you get on the field isn’t always the same friendly guy you get off of it.
So, I don’t know what attics you are referring to, but it didn’t casue the Steelers to avoid Jr.

Instead I will take three drafts later today !
He was known to get into altercations and stuff - was kicked out of a game for an on field pregame fight with another player. One of the few who leave Pittsburgh only to have a career year elsewhere…
Yes. And I bet every one of his teammates loved him for that intensity and emotion also. That fight was in pregame against the hated Browns and it takes two to tango. He had plenty of career years IN Pittsburgh. The guy let it all on the field.
I don’t disagree - one of my all time favorite Steelers. Just sayin’ he mixed it up a lot.
Franklin sits at 40 from '15 to '22 (8 years) with 4 currently off the board in '23.
Could get to 6 this year making his total 46 in 9.
Same. Along with Greg Lloyd and Kevin Greene.
I got a c-note saying a guy named Lambert would make that list!
Clifford got drafted! I did not see this coming.
Neither did the NFL! Great for Cliff! I hope he goes on to become a starter!
KUDOS to Clifford. Underappreciated by a majority of PSU fans. So cool that he ended his career with a great game in the Rose Bowl.
Good for Clifford , good team to get a chance for PT, just as good or better than half the QB's taken ahead of him.
I thought Clifford would be drafted thanks to Purdy's success but not until late. This is a pleasant surprise. Good for him.
Cliff is the first QB/RB/WR/TE drafted that wasn't invited to the combine.
Barring injury, he should have his rookie deal to carry a clipboard.
