I’ll add more content up here when I get time, but we’re going to the Timberwolves game tonight and I wanted to get something posted, so I’m posting this from my phone.

Wow, this is sad…
Tiffany Saine, the mother of Steelers first-round pick Derrick Harmon, died Thursday night shortly after her son was selected No. 21 in the NFL draft.
Saine, who suffered a stroke in 2022 that left her paralyzed on her left side, was on life support in the hospital while Harmon learned of his NFL future surrounded by the rest of his family in his hometown of Detroit.
“On behalf of the entire Pittsburgh Steelers organization, I extend our deepest condolences to Derrick Harmon and his family during this difficult time,” Steelers president Art Rooney II said Friday in a statement.
“Though we are excited to select Derrick in the first round of the NFL Draft, our hearts are heavy as we mourn the death of his mother, Tiffany Saine. We will support Derrick and his family however we can as he navigates this period of grief. In times like this, we hope Derrick finds comfort in the love and support from the organization and Steelers fans around the world.”
Good grief. Someone prank called Sanders pretending to represent a team That is NOT funny.

Ouch
I agree… not cool. People suck sometimes.
Yeah, shitty human being there
Someone was never taught the golden rule. Symptom of the mess we’re in now.
Totally agree.
Amen
Boom!
Wolves pulled it off, McDaniels just sunk the dagger.
Fun fucking game
Canadiens stomped the Caps 6-3 tonight.
Addison, Asamoah, & one other Viking.
Can’t remember which
Wolves up by 5. This place is live
Looks tied up at 103.
Wow. This was around the time of the SuperBowl, but Daddy Sanders said there are teams he didn’t want his son drafted to. He said he would meet with them privately and tell them so, and that he had already done so with a few teams.

Might explain things
This whole thing might be a middle finger to Daddy. Who does he think he is? Did he think teams wouldn’t share his shenanigans with each other?
Yep the family is a headache to deal with.
Glad that the NFL decided not to deal with them.
That whole Lakers team is a bunch of fucking whiners.
Welcome to the NBA.
So are the Puppies, they just don’t bother you as much since you are a fan type.
You must not be watching
I am, have it on computer with the sound off.
See whining on both sides.
Why I seldom follow the NBA any more.
Funny how we have to throw a challenge flag when Ant had all ball.
Good game Brad, hope you had fun!
It was an absolute blast
Why Receiver?
Addison will to something stupid and suspended for year.
I heard about the DUI.
I think they’re moving on from Addison, just a hunch.
I like him but he may have the brains of AD.
Not making good decisions. Hopefully growing up & learned.
He’s here at the Wolves game, they showed him on the jumbo tv.
Burner to take the top off the defense.
96 catches last year for 1124 yards.
Last time we got a wide receiver from Maryland, it worked out pretty good.
WR. Ok, enlighten me, a 4,5 and 6 tomorrow?
Just 2 picks in the 5th. 1st and 4th picks in the 5th.
Maybe we’re trading our drinking problem for a QB2…..
Is Felton a burner?
Yes. 4.37
Yes, 4.37 guy.
We got a WR
A WR…..just what we desperately needed.
Tai Felton WR
Maryland guy who can’t catch, in case you’re wondering.
Tai Felton WR Maryland?
WR with bad hands…
But, he caught everything on tape.
Laughing… can’t believe everything you see on TV…
Troy Williamson Jr?
Tai Felton WR from Maryland
Pick was in quick.
We’re finally on the clock.
Broncos took Eagles pick… trying to get ahead of us?
In case anyone cares, my wifes cat just farted on me…
I’m about to crop dust the concourse at Target Center
Cat people would spout some obscure meaning behind that
A tad too much information there mate…
I’m surprised by how many of the black players picked that have non-urban names.
Niners took Upton Stout, CB…
If we still had Slick Rick, I get the feeling that Sanders would be the pick.
Niners, then Eagles, then us…
Raiders get two selections in a row, and pick two OT’s. Pass on Sanders again.
Wow.
Pantera coming to Target Center. Tempting.
GF, you guys eat all that popcorn yet?
Nope, took it to the room then left, haven’t gotten back yet. Went to eat, now at the Wolves game.
I’ll bet we finish it this weekend.
Just got home. Why we move down?
No idea
Thought maybe a 7 and 2 8’s.
Laughing…
Thanks… I guess that’s good.
I think so, especially if they think the guy they want is still gonna be there at 102.
So we moved back 5 in the 3rd to move up 45 in the 4th …….no extra picks.
Marginally better?
Yeah, not sure. It sounds like an OK trade to me.
Wonder what we got from the Texans in the trade?
According to CBS, we traded 97 and 187 for 102 and 142
Thanks VP
Wonder how many 7th rounders we got for moving down?
Five picks to go till the end of this night.
So the Vikings don’t pick until tomorrow now?
No last pick tonight.
Just saw that
Last pick tonight I think
Falcons took Watts
kwesi once again….
We are on the clock!!
Damn Falcons. Just pissed about Cousins
Dammit. Now I have to have another beer
Not necessarily a bad thing… 😊🍻
We traded back to 102?
yep
Slid back 5, gave up a 5th, picked up a 4th.
Gave up a 6th and got a 5th
Oh, that too
Vikings traded out?
I stayed up late for nothing.
They have the last pick tonight.
How long till the Vikings pick?
Next
We just traded our pick to the Texans
Watts still available?
yes
Patriots take Wilson the Center.
The announcers are really rolling with the Sanders thing. Nobody wants to just come out and say that it could be that nobody wants to deal with daddy and the drama.
Conspiracy theories gonna go wild.
My guess is Watts will be the newest Viking.
Another QB not named Sanders…….jeez he gots da plague.
Watts or Reed, whomever they like better.
Browns pass on Sanders again… took QB Dillan Gabriel.
Other than the one hot blond, all the packer fans in the background are exactly what you’d expect. Goobers
She is probably a ‘rental’.
Shipped her in from out of town.
Nah, she’s just under 30. Looks go to hell after that around here.
That much Miller Lite takes its toll after a while.
Browns coming up next. Sanders watch again.
They took a QB, just not Sanders.
Another quarterback chosen that is not named Sanders.
