I believe his asking price. Seems he's wanting record breaking top end money and his production hasn't really lived up to that. In no way is he terrible. He just hasn't quite set the pass rush world on fire.

A guy, who seems very informed (but a bit of a, "sensitive type)," tweeted back, "I see Halladay trending, which means most people got this wrong (which isn't true; MLB.com or MLB the Show tweeted something and Halladay was getting all the mentions there, but I digress). It's #37 and only #37. Get it off Teoscar."

#37, was Dave Stieb, who was our best pitcher before Halladay came around 100%.

Someone else then responded, "Halladay never wore #37, he wore #34."

lol to which *I* responded, "ACTUALLY, Halladay wore #52 at first, then switched to #32; he never wore #34 or #37."

The guy I responded to deleted his tweet, then the first guy got all pissy and responded to me, that "Using ACTUALLY is being a jerk and a smartass and makes you look like a complete moron when you get things wrong," implying I was talking to him.

So yeah, I need to be clear that I don't come off as a smart-ass, because a shit-ton of people are- I hate the term, but it is apt here- snowflakey to death and get defensive at the drop of a hat, nowadays... (and I'm not saying you are, Hoofhearted :))

Sorry for late reply. Had to start painting my kitchen.

All good truck! I didn't even find your twitter conversation as you being a jerk either. Probably because I don't let what others say affect me one way or the other. Like I'm comfortable with who am, which also means I can admit when i'm wrong. It seems like it's a rare thing when having a discussion online

That guy from Iowa, AJ Epenesa, would sure fit that bill, as a 3-4 DT opposite Geno.  

I keep going back and forth, but I would love to slide in Rd 2 (because I don't see Queen or Murray being there), getting a guy like Epenesa in Rd 2 and then getting Claypool at the top of Rd 3.  I have a bet that Claypool won't be there at the top of Rd 3, so I win either way.

Claypool is becoming my guy as well just cause of Shenault's injury history and the fact he is not near the blocker Claypool is.

Plus Claypool is a damn big target for Burrow. Not that he needs that, he could hit Baby Hawk all day long...

It was time to extend Dalton, they let Michael Johnson go in his prime, AJ Green was coming up, and Vontaze was due to get paid. He was outta the league fairly quickly after going to Cleveland though.

He came back and played like his hair was on fire. That's a big no for me. Carlos has been a great soldier, and still has plenty of juice. He's under contract, I say let him play it out.
