QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 25, 2016 -> 08:00 PM) I really want Gary. Harbaugh recruiting all his friends. 〽️ Hes a lock dude, why else would he hire his High School coach. Its a horribly kept secret.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jan 27, 2016 -> 11:37 AM) I gotcha. I think Lee can play WILB in a 34 front. Probably a WLB in a 43 as well. He's not awful vs the run but he is undersized. He made up for it with technique, speed and strength in college.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 27, 2016 -> 11:58 AM) I don't really think the sales people are all that scummy...its the finance situation and I'm not sure that Tesla solves that issue. I honestly have no idea how the finance people can lie like they do. It is ridiculous. Finance people at a dealership are the worst. Its the reason that I wont let them "take my trade in" until its all signed, because I will walk at that point

Anyone have an amazon echo?

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jan 27, 2016 -> 10:20 AM) Ugh no, negotiating should be on the way out, with pricing information so readily available there shouldn't be so much scamming out there. You should be able to buy directly from the manufacturer, online, etc. I hate that it has the reputation of scamming as well. Not everyone scams but negotiation certainly feels like it sometimes. I literally negotiate everything that I possibly can. The Harley dealer I bought my bike from this summer almost told me to leave. I got them to buy back my used Ducati for way more than I paid for it.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 27, 2016 -> 09:30 AM) Good to know. The only time I bought a new car I was able to get the dealer cost of the car from a friend of a friend, so when I went to the dealership I was just honest with the guy and told him this is what i'm going to pay, can you do it, if not i'm going to the next dealer. He kept telling me it was impossible and that I didn't qualify for certain rebates. I said ok thanks anyway and started to walk away. Then of course he caved and I got it for that price. I hate the whole process. It's stupid that car dealerships can't be more like a retail store. I know the price of the fridge, why the need to negotiate? I can maybe sort of understand it if it's for a used car, but not new ones. And especially since the dealers are buying those straight from the manufacturer with manufacturer rebates and financing. They're literally just holding the car for days or weeks until they can sell it. That's why I like the idea of carmax. No haggle pricing. Anyone ever go there? I wonder how much they jack up the price. If it's like 500 bucks more, it's worth it to me to not have to waste my time calling around and negotiating. Carmax makes a nice percentage on their cars being that they are used and they dont "negotiate".

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 26, 2016 -> 04:15 PM) The real question I have is, are there people that actually go in and just buy the car and don't do much negotiating? The fleet mgr that sold me my car did have an interesting story. When I told him I wasn't financing and was going to pay for it, he asked me over the phone are you going to bring cash and I'm like no, I'll just write a check. So when I went there I asked him, do people really show up with 20+ grand in cash in a suitcase (vs. just writing a check) and he told me about a guy who came in a year ago with a briefcase full of 160K to buy 6 new cars for his family. He wanted it to be a surprise and had to make sure that the total of all 6 cars added up to that amount. Fleet mgr said him and his team were at the dealer until like 3 AM counting the cash (as they aren't a bank so they aren't really equipped to do it). Guy was coming back from doing independent contractor work for the government in Iraq or something like that. Some just go in, say here is my payment, match it and thats it. I know the guy who owns the dealerships as a friend so I skip almost all the researching and negotiating. The finance people still suck though.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jan 27, 2016 -> 08:41 AM) Ryan Shazier plays ILB in Pittsburgh Sorry, I was referring to a 4-3. ILB in a 3-4 as the one that will cover slot/TE

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jan 27, 2016 -> 08:10 AM) What are your thoughts on Darron Lee? Is he big enough to play ILB? No, he's a walkout OLB that can cover TE's in today's game. Ryan Shazier-like.

some cars require a mobile app to play pandora or others on their car stereo, each one is very different. Hopefully ApplePlay gets more run.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 26, 2016 -> 10:07 PM) Who? Braxton Miller, Josh Perry, Adolphus Washington, Tyvis Powell, Nick Vannett and Noah Spence.

Phew this team needs the break real bad

All of my guys getting rave reviews at the senior bowl. Love to see that.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 26, 2016 -> 02:42 PM) Wonder if my Ford Focus can but I don't know how to. When in doubt there is always the Aux cable

Its not like there arent good recruits to go out and pick up this late either, they just dont seem to have the radar or the database to identify them. I could pick out at least 10 kids in Ohio alone that would be able to contribute at ILL and only have MAC offers.

The Martian was ok, not much more than that.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jan 25, 2016 -> 09:46 PM) Braxton Miller is projected in 4th round range He may improve that with combine results, but he's been a WR for less than a year with very few actual touches. He's raw as hell.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jan 26, 2016 -> 08:45 AM) So I've been invited to two separate bachelor parties planned for the same weekend (Mar 31-Apr 2). One is in Vegas, the other is in Nashville. I've already been to Vegas but never Nashville. I've heard good things about Nashville, but I can't say I've ever been in to the whole country scene. Anyone who's been to both places have an opinion on the two cities comparison wise? They dont call it Nashvegas for nothing.... Its very different to vegas in that you walk from place to place but its a really really good time.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jan 23, 2016 -> 06:33 PM) It is the MOST underrated state in the country. Flagstaff is awesome. Sedona is the most breathtaking city in the county in my opinion. Lots of nature, the Grand Caynon, etc. Nah. Its ok, some good places to visit and all but its not that awesome.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jan 25, 2016 -> 11:35 PM) Video of Maty Mauk snorting Coke hits Twitter lol He's been dealing blow since back in the Nati. The fact he hasn't been kicked off yet is hilarious.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 24, 2016 -> 07:56 PM) Sure, but I feel like his inability to complete a single pass limits a lot of what they can do offensively and forces their defense to be less agressive and spend too much time on the field. It's not a Denver type D. Carolina is a great team and deserves to win it all uf they do, but this is not the same Arizona team I watched all year. Carolina is the best team they played all year.

Cam Newton is amazing.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 24, 2016 -> 07:28 PM) Arizona was the best team in football with a good Carson Palmer. Not so much with this version of him. Their defense is getting shredded too.

Carolina Buckeyes looking tough.
