Maybe a little steep but it wasn't a deep draft and 2 4th rounders...meh,  I was ok w/it. 

I don't know exactly how they calculate "points" but it seems like a even trade...

They paid more to go from 23 to 20 than the Chiefs did to go from 9 to 6… it was a significant overpay but Pitt was gonna draft lemon and cowboys had us over a barrel. 
 

overall love their draft, they should hopefully get 3 offensive starters in the future out of it and the QB should be a fun gadget player like Taysom Hill. Love the tackle they took, between him and the guy they took last year, I think one could be the Lane replacement. Still think we need more depth in the interior oline and safety. Getting a guy like Greenard for 2 3rds was a steal, he’s going to he feast here with our interior dline taking the double teams.

Not quite. Cheifs traded picks 78 and 148, Birds traded 114 and 137. All and all, I like what Howie did there. With Brown leaving and Hurts is in his prime you have to give him every possible tool. And I agree picking up Greenard was a good move and yes he should have a field day out there for the reason you mentioned...

I'm a huge VH fan and good for Dave for getting out there. But man, I just can't look.

Saw VH in their prime countless times and that's how I choose to remember them.

Hager did a good job taking over all things considered but when I think VH it's Diamond Dave. I had the VH symbol (and Zeppelin) symbols all over my note/copy books for grade school. Goes w/o saying the nuns didn't dig it...

The nuns weren't big fans of the Ozzy/Black Sabbath doodles, either :devilsmiley:

Yeah...wore a "Diary of a Madman" T-shirt on relaxed dressed day which wasn't well received.  Iron Maiden was just bursting onto the scene as well with Eddie T-shirts/Concert shirts which again the nuns frowned upon...

YouTube algorithm keeps throwing me daily DLR stuff. Full show at Keswick a few weeks back (5/19/26). Band isn't bad but he can't sing worth a damn...

While we’ve been enjoying our mild stretch of weather, Flyers GMBD dropped some bombs…

Giroux is back. Typical Flyers move, bringing back a former player. Don’t know what he has left in the tank, but they need someone to play center.

And a huge offer sheet to Leo Carlsson. :o

In honor of LeBron going to the Sixers, let's change the lyrics of Will Smith's "Miami" to fit a more Philadelphia theme:

 

Uh, uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh

Philadelphia, uh, uh

Southeast Pennsylvania, bringin the Sixers , uh

Haha, can y'all feel that

Can y'all feel that

Jig it out, uh

Here I am in the place where I come let go

Philadelphia the bass and the sunset low

Everyday like a mardi gras, everybody party all day

No work all play, okay

So we sip a little something, lay to rest the spill

Me an Charlie at the bar runnin' up a high bill

Nothin' less than ill, when we dress to kill

Every time the ladies pass, they be like "hi Will"

Can y'all feel me, all ages and races

Real sweet faces

Every different nation, Spanish, Hatian, Indian, Jamaican

Black, White, Cuban, and Asian

I only came for two days of playing

But every time I come I always wind up stayin'

This the type of town I could spend a few days in

Philadelphia the city that keeps the roof blazin'

Party in the city where the Sixers are on

All night, on the beach 'til the break of dawn

"Welcome to Philadelphia"

"Bienvenidos a Philadelphia"

Bouncin' in the club where the Sixers are on

All night, on the beach 'til the break of dawn

I'm goin to Philadelphia

"Welcome to Philadelphia"

Yo I heard the rainstorms ain't nothin' to mess with

But I can't feel a drip on the strip, it's a trip

Ladies half-dressed, fully equipped

And they be screamin out, "Will we loved your last hit"

So I'm thinkin' I'ma scoot me somethin' hot

In this salsa-merengue melting pot

Hottest club in the city, and it's right on the beach

Temperature get to ya, it's about to reach

Five-hundred degrees in the Delaware Bay

With the hot mamis screaming "¡Ay papi!"

Everytime I come to town, they be spottin' me

In the drop Bentley, ain't no stoppin' me

So, cash in your dough and flow to this fashion show

Pound for pound anywhere you go

Yo, ain't no city in the world like this

An if you ask how I know I gots ta plead the fifth "Philadelphia"

Party in the city where the Sixers are on

All night, on the beach 'til the break of dawn

"Welcome to Philadelphia"

"Bienvenidos a Philadelphia"

Bouncin' in the club where the Sixers are on

All night, on the beach 'til the break of dawn

I'm goin to Philadelphia

"Welcome to Philadelphia"

Don't get me wrong, Chi-town got it goin' on

And New York is the city that we know don't sleep

And we all know that L.A. and Miami stay jiggy

But on the sneak, Philadelphia bringin' Sixers  for real

Y'all don't understand

I never seen so many Dominican women with cinnimon tans

Mira, this is the plan

Take a walk on the beach, draw a heart in the sand

Gimmie your hand

Damn, you look sexy

Let's go to my yacht, in Rehoboth Beach

Ride my jetskis, loungin' in the palm trees

'Cause you gotta have cheese for the summerhouse piece on Southeast Pennsylvania

Water so clear, you can see to the bottom

Hundred-thousand dollar cars, e'ybody got 'em

Ain't no surprise in the club to see Sly, Stallone

Philadelphia, my fourth home

"Philadelphia"

Party in the city where the Sixers are on

All night, on the beach 'til the break of dawn

"Welcome to Philadelphia"

"Bienvenidos a Philadelphia"

Bouncin' in the club where the Sixers are on

All night, on the beach 'til the break of dawn

I'm goin' to Philadelphia

"Welcome to Philadelphia"

Party in the city where the Sixers are on

All night, on the beach 'til the break of dawn

"Welcome to Philadelphia"

"Bienvenidos a Philadelphia"

Bouncin' in the club where the Sixers are on

All night, on the beach 'til the break of dawn

I'm goin' to Philadelphia

"Welcome to Philadelphia"

Party in the city where the Sixers are on
