    Where did you go? :laugh: 

    Your Ravens have an interesting squad. Just how many times do you plan on running the ball per game? Also. How is Jackson going to throw an accurate deep ball to Hollywood?

    What's up TGP? I know it's been a hot minute. Last time I spoke with you all, life was dark and different.

    Since then. Life has changed for me dramatically.

    In January I will be starting with the Virginia State Police and living right outside VA Beach. I can't explain to you how excited and happy I am to be moving back to where I was raised and contributing to the community. I will be going with my gf of 3 years and my son who is a 120 LB Rottie and was honestly, one of the best investments I could ever make in my life.

    In the sports world I have become a pretty active person with Raiders Twitter. I am appearing on some podcasts for Raiders Beat. I am also in a FF league with Derek and David Carr.

    I know I haven't been around here much but I'm going to make a concentrated effort to be around more often.

    Have missed you fuckers.

    Biased me says the Raiders.

    This roster went from the oldest in the NFL to one of the youngest in the span of about a year. Also, Josh Jacobs is the all purpose back that I have been waiting for.

    Say what you want about AB, but he's an elite talent on the outside and is only going to open things up for Tyrell, Renfrow, Moreau, Richard, Waller. If DC doesn't have success this year, then he is out the door and rightfully so.

     

    Unbiased me is going to go with the Jags.

    Adding Nick Foles after the absolute trainwreck of Blake Bortles is a serious upgrade. Them adding Josh Allen to that defensive front is complete madness. Their D was already good, Allen might put them over the top. Also adding Jawaan Taylor? 

    If they were in any other division I would not care. But the AFCS is weak and I don't buy the Colts.

    I'd consider the Browns too, but the Ravens are the best team in that division. Adding Earl Thomas and Mark Ingram is just playing right into their way of doing things. Jackson can only improve as well.

    Grizzlies won't do it because they just traded Mike Conley. Kings have Fox already but the Bulls would actually kind of make sense. CP3 on the Bulls puts them in the playoffs for sure and ahead of teams like Miami, Orlando & Detroit. Hell, I think they could even give Boston a run. I think LaVine, CP3 and Markkanen or however you spell it could be potent offensively. Wendell Carter is a solid player too. Idk if I have them winning the East with that squad but all of the sudden you like Dunn a lot more as a role player behind CP3 too. Idk what the details of that kind of trade look like but it makes sense for both teams to me.

    Lol... that team is going nowhere. CP3 is at the end of the road. The Bulls would have to give up most likely a lot of draft capital to make it work. Also. It involves them paying CP3 a lot of money and in the past decade... tell me what big name player they've shelled out big money for.

    Westbrook is a WAY better fit for D'Antoni's system than CP3 was. They'll get back to run 'n gun.

     

    Also, it looks like they're trying to trade CP3 before he ever puts on a jersey, so that's a relief. I figured for sure they were trying to have him be the tank commander and save ticket sales considering OKC LOVES them some CP3 since they played there during the Katrina shiz. Guess that's a fine backup plan. Apparently MIA is in the mix for him.

    Westbrook might be the better fit in D'Antoni's system.

    But.. when has D'Antoni's shit system won him anything meaningful in the playoffs? Rockets are a contender, but they could be a legitimate team if they could run more than vanilla half court sets when it matters in the playoffs. Teams take the Rockets out of their element when they slow the pace down. 

    OKC is going to be stuck with CP3 unless some bottom feeder trash team with a lot of cap... like the Bulls/Kings/Grizzlies make an offer they can't refuse with young talent. The timing of that trade really was unfortunate for OKC but you got to do what you can with what you have.

    What's up guys. I haven't been around as much lately. Life has just been busy.

    This is probably going to be a long post for the record... bear with me.

    I don't know what to say about this year in general. You look at the way the world is going and the division, stupidity, ignorance and hatred... it's everywhere. Everywhere I go, everywhere I look, it seems that things are providing for a dark future.

    Personally, I can say this has been the toughest year of my life. I've always been a distant person.. but I feel like someone or something is trying to keep me down for no apparent reason.

    Here's some things that have happened this year...

     

     - I finally got out of the military in Dec of last year. I got tired of their BS and broken promises. I went to state representatives and Senators and spoke with them of how my contract was not being honored in terms of benefits, pay, and reimbursement. I go the whole 'We will look into it, thank you for you concern' BS. Long story short. I said I wasn't showing up to any military functions until it was taken care of, I stopped drilling for 2 years. They gave me an other than honorable discharge which I expected and am w/e with. In my contract their is at least nearly 100k of money that they owe me, and now they are saying I owe them money. Like.. wtf. I did my time honorably the first 3 years, but enough is enough. Not getting paid for drilling, not being fed while at drill... I was losing money left and right.

     

    - My best friend of 15 years committed suicide. She was a sister to me. This girl was abandoned by her Russian parents and essentially left for dead on a Port Authority Dock. My family took her in. We went to school together, helped her with learning English.. you name it we did it. This past summer.. we went through all the BS it is anymore to get a passport. We got it so that she could meet her siblings who found her through the internet. She went there. She had just graduated from PSU with a nursing degree and started her job, but was fired because a supervisor said the only way she would gain more respect is if she slept with him essentially. She said fuck no, reported him and in the end they both were fired. She had a kid and her own place... so she applied everywhere. Ended up working with a gas company as a administrative person. Long hours away from her friends and especially her son. I hadn't heard or really seen much from her in a few days so I stopped by her house. Knocked on the door and there was nothing but her car was home. I figured she might be sleeping until I looked down and on the doormat was a suicide note. I work in law enforcement so I called some people before going in and we then walked in and she was on the floor. I've never felt so sick in my life. I've never felt so empty... there simply isn't words.

     

    -In the past two months. I have been in two car accidents that have not been my fault. The first one a guy blew a stop sign and hit and spun me at 55 mph. I went to the hospital and they said I had a concussion and whiplash. I didn't have a car for a while but I also have a truck so I wasn't too concerned about having a vehicle. Until.. I walk out one morning and it won't start. Not a battery. Just the whole electrical system is fucked. So I borrowed my gf's jeep for a while which ran well. Literally 2 weeks ago my car got repaired, last night... my gf and I were going out to dinner.

     

    Sitting at a red light and waiting to turn left. Light turns green. I turn left, there's a car in front of me, behind me and there's a wall of snow on my right. This minivan backs out of an alley and hits me. Hits me in my rear driver side. The exact same spot my car has been hit TWICE before. The damage is minimal and the car is drivable... however I wouldn't be so upset if the old lady driving had even any sense of where she was or what she was doing. This lady was like 80 years old. I walked up to her and made sure she was ok and she said yeah. Then I asked her if she was calling the police and she said no I'm not calling them I'm calling my husband because YOU hit me. I came so close to breaking her fucking mirror. So I call the police and it takes about a good hour for them to show up. They do all their BS and tell me my reg is expired and that I'm getting a citation for not having it registered. Which is fine, but I literally just got my car back and it expired less than a week ago but these assholes can't give me a warning and instead write me a ticket.

     

    Those are just a few of the things going on... I feel defeated. I feel like no matter what I do and how hard I try... things that are out of my control fuck me and I'm over it.

    Sorry. I just needed to vent.. and was honestly wondering if anyone else feels that life fucks them all the time too.

    Just the continued pussification of the NFL spearheaded by Roger Goodell.

    Goodell wants more offense. More things to keep the peasant NFL fan pleased and buying tickets and generating money.

    The average fan wants to see points scored. Not a TEN/JAGS game with 2 backup QB's in Gabbert and Bortles.

    Yes. I'm aware Bortles is a starter but he's a backup on any team with a top 12 QB...

    The real fans know that this rule is physically impossible and already clouded from the piss poor emotional zebras that are currently around the league today.

    You can't fight gravity, but you can fight Goodell with a bullet in the head.

    We are beyond fucked for the forseeable future.

    I wasn't big on the Gruden hiring as a HC... let alone the god of football operations. I like all the staff he brought in, I really do, but Gruden himself is a cancer. 

    The ego of trading away your best player and believing in Mr. Carr is going to bite this team in the ass forever. I will forever stick with paying Mack before Carr because Carr never really proved himself outside of 16' since he got hurt that year he's seeing ghosts every play. Second half of the game last night shows that there is something wrong in his head.

     

    We have the oldest roster in the league and we are admittedly in rebuild mode? How? 

     

    Nothing the Raiders have done this offseason has made sense.. the combination of Mckenzie's poor drafts and Gruden's mind will send this team back to the dark ages if we aren't already there.

    I had little optimism going into this season...

     

    Last night confirmed that I should have none for longer than just this year.

    Do we even have any religious Christians on this site besides Dmac, who I don't think is particularly fiscally conservative?

     

    This guy.

     

    I was raised in the church and by fiscally conservative parents.

     

    To say the least I am nothing like them and I hate most 'church' activities and the regular jackasses who think that they are better than everyone else.

     

    The worst people I have met in life... have claimed to be Christians. The amount of 'Christians' that try to sweep things under the rug in churches and acquire hordes of money are no better than the people they condemn.

     

    Fuck the American church.

    The Bears are a good team.... defensively speaking.

     

    The tough thing about them is... well their division. They are more than capable of hanging with anyone in that division due to familiarity but I wouldn't count on it.

     

     

    I have lots of questions about Trubisky.

     

    Offensively the answer for them is going through Howard and Cohen...that's arguably the best backfield. Tennessee is right there with that award too.

     

    Chicago is going to be competitive because of their D and backfield... but I'm not sold on Mitch.

    I might've mentioned it at some point, but I went hard on the weight loss over the last year or so. I'm gonna brag about myself for a half-second before going back to being the humble, agreeable guy you've all come to know and love.

     

    Faces covered to protect the innocent (except from those of you savages I'm facebook friends with).

    Hey Blots.

     

    Have you ever walked into a bar in Iowa and say...

     

    "Hi, I'm Jeramie Kruger. I love the Packers and I own my own football website.... wanna get laid?"

     

    :p

     

    Looking good man.

    I now have a dog, a 3 month old mix of Great Pyrenees, Anatolian Shepherd, and Yellow lab. I named her Porter Wagoner [insert my last name here]. My parents named their dog "Dolly" so it was only natural to name my dog Porter as a tribute to the Porter Wagoner Show with Dolly Parton, being as I'm a classic country fan.

     

    I've been to a pair of race tracks about an hour from my house several times already this summer and I couldn't be happier. I have a great group of friends. So many reasons to be grateful and happy.

     

    Glad to hear you've been well!

     

    I'd love to see a pic of that dog... I've never heard of anything besides the yellow lab part lol.

    Sounds like you all have miserable lives.

     

    My day goes something like this. Wake up at 10/11. Do a quick 30 min workout at home. Watch some SC/Rich Eisen Show at Noon and either make something or go pick something up to eat.

     

    Once I'm done eating it's usually like 130 at this point and then I shower and start getting ready for work. Do all that hygiene shit and it's usually about 215. I then get dressed and head out the door and get to work around 230-245.

     

    I then work 3-11 pm and then get home around 1115. At this point, I usually eat something small and then shower watch some tv, get on the interwebz/PS4 and then stay up til about 1 or 2am and the cycle repeats.
