Only on here does a guy say he met a bear player, obviously excited.. And people slam him for it.

**** is wrong w some of you?


Very cool man! Hopefully bostic turns it on this season- what bar was it?



Didn't you say your cousin met Fuller and then you slammed him for being a beta introvert?

I can't decide who I dislike more Bostic or Jordan Mills. I think Bostic because the majority think he is the goods.

Bostic is out of position more so than any player in the NFL. It may be an exaggeration but it's damn close. I curse his name every game.

Physically Bostic is a stud and has the strength and speed to be a LB. The problem besides his back issues, is he is always mis-reading the play and taking himself out of position to make a play. For me its hard to tell if that is because of inexperience or bad coaching/system....Tucker.

Khaseem Greene had a good college career, I believe defensive player of the year in his conference. He hasn't shown anything, I'm interested to see if the new staff can get anything out of him.

It is amazing to see these pro athletes up close. I was in NJ back in the late 90's, got into an elevator to the parking deck of the hotel we were meeting friends at. In the elevator walked, Runyan, Trotter and one of the Eagles O guards. I've always considered myself a rather big guy at 6'2 (with shoes on) 235. I felt small in that elevator. Trotter was my size but the dood had shoulders that nearly stretched to the width of the elevator opening. Runyan was like a house, same with the guard. Both had to be 6'7" or better. It is hard to fully realize the bulk of some of these men.

erm, and women... Ran into one of the WNBA teams in the Charlotte Airport... I felt pretty small again. Heh.


Edit: Oddly enough, when I stood next to Dikembe Mutombo I thought to myself (I play a lot of basketball) I could box this scrawny guy out out, and out rebound him... Then I thought, who am I kidding. No way.

My son was in the same High School with Brad Daugherty's son, who played some ball. Now Brad is a large 7+ foot man, not the same slight build that Dikembe has. I never felt like I could have handled him, even in the briefest of brain fart moments.

Mutumbo would rag doll you under the boards like a child. the guy is a foot taller and while he looked skinny was 250+ ripped. You would eat one elbow and probably would have been knoxked out cold. Lol its funny you even thought of that. I once thought i could be a pro baseball player and then i tried out for the single A phillies. At the tryout I hit 2 home runs.. Hit well to all fields and ran the bases great. Then the guy after me went and was hitting home runs to all fields like it was a video game. Left the tryout and never heard from them again lol

Yup, exactly why I said, "Brain Fart". Mutombo went toe to toe with Shack and held his own. I laughed at myself for the consideration of the fact I thought I could keep him off a board and snag a rebound. Honestly, with my low center of gravity, I probably could box him out 1/2 decently, but out rebound him or hold the box out for more than just a brief second... um no.
