 what a great dude!
 
I'm sayin' though, they should really take my idea. Kraft signs Ray Rice ASAP, gives him a press conference, and you will guarandamntee the NFL gets around-the-clock coverage and attention they crave until training camp.

Just go 100% heel already, damn.

Stopped by Philly last year to buy my car. Geno's and Pat's were cool. Overrated though.
 
Rivals with a pretty interesting piece on the distribution of three, four, five stars throughout the 2015 NFL Draft:


NFL Draft: Crunching the numbers

Geoff Ketchum, Rivals.com Publisher

For the third straight year, OrangeBloods.com publisher Geoff Ketchum found himself logging the entire NFL Draft, pick by pick, with the purpose of better understanding what's working and what's not working as it relates to developing players at the collegiate level.

View media item 1533660
From 2010-12 (the three classes that made up the 2014 NFL Draft Class almost exclusively), Rivals.com rated on the average 3,754.67 prospects -- high school, prep school and JUCO -- per year. The average number of prospects slotted in each star ranking is shown above.

With those numbers serving as the foundation of the average Rivals.com recruiting class numbers over a three-year window, let's break down what the numbers look like over the course of all seven rounds of the 2015 NFL Draft.

View media item 1533668
We will get to the specific, nitty-gritty rankings in a moment, but this is a generic sense, based on star rankings, of how likely it is for a prospect to be drafted. More than half of all five-star prospects were drafted in the first two days of the 2015 NFL Draft, and nearly 70 percent of all five-star prospects had their name called at some point during the proceedings.

The fall down from each star ranking is steep and dramatic, as just 19.3 percent of all four-star prospects were drafted, 7.1 percent of three-star prospects and a microscopic 1.7 percent of two-stars.

The success among the truly nationally elite in recruiting and the rest of the pack is stunning. The results among five-star prospects in this year's draft (16 in the first three rounds!), along with the high four-stars was so overwhelming that the reality is that Rivals.com probably needs to add a sixth star, with the five-star prospects getting bumps up to six-stars and the four-stars that make up the rest of the top national 30-60 prospects getting bumped up to-five-stars.

Nothing about the data from the last few drafts suggests that bottom half of the four-star rankings are really on the level of their upper-half counterparts. The success rate of those two recruiting groups is as close to guaranteed success as it gets in college football recruiting.

View media item 1533663
I've said it about 1,000 times over the last few years, but my favorite recruiting tier in the Rivals.com rankings is the high three-star (5.7) recruit and the data this year showed that ,as it relates to producing top-end NFL Draft prospects, that ranking outperformed the more celebrated mid- and low-four stars.

Why is this happening? I have a few theories that, when added together, might help explain why the high three-star prospect is the most underrated commodity in all of recruiting:

In an era when the ranked recruits are as closely evaluated as ever before, many of the players in this category end up being players that analysts really like, but haven't scouted enough in person to have a truer evaluation.

History suggests that prospects that have a major issue or two (injuries, academics, off-the-field, etc.) get slotted into this category.

This is frequently a spot where very raw and unrefined prospects get slotted.

It's a great recruiting landing spot for the prospect that possesses five-star production but three-star physical tools or vice versa.

Regardless, one of these days more and more people that follow recruiting will start to follow my lead, and they'll begin to love the high-three star ranking.

As it relates to producing NFL-level talent, the 5.7 ranking simply doesn't take a back seat very often to the low- and mid-four stars and what that means at its most basic is that there's actually not much difference between a prospect that's ranked No. 101 versus a guy that is ranked No. 400 or even No. 700.

If Kraft goes full heel, he needs to give my man John Boyett another shot

http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_26786072/police-ex-bronco-john-boyett-punched-cabbie-urged

John Boyett, now a former member of the Broncos' practice squad, was arrested early Wednesday in Greenwood Village after police say he drunkenly head-butted and punched a cab driver, stole a shovel from a construction site then tried to hide from officers by covering himself in mulch, court records show.

Boyett, 24, told arresting officers to "contact his boss John Elway" before repeatedly slamming his head into a patrol car window while yelling and spitting, records say.

Geno's and Pat's are basically a historical site at this point, good enough but far from the best in town

Cheesesteaks are overrated, but Philly is a city is amazing and very underrated.

Restaurant scene is incredible.
