    Yes. You should be very optimistic. I always try not to be a homer when talking ND, but I think Manti is going to be a very good MLB. Nothing spectacular, but very good. Once he shed those extra pounds his Senior Year, his whole game transformed. I actually thought he was shit his junior year.

    My dads from there and the 99 vikings team were something special to watch. Even with this day and age with rules bended towards the offense I don't know if we will ever see an aerial threat like that team. Who is your nfl team? Thanks for the opinion on Manti I didn't know what to think after that game against Alabama.

    Is MLB that much of a pressing need compared to other areas where you'd gamble on Te'o?

    See you on Nov. 7. :)

    Yea we haven't had a good one since Ej Henderson left. Our starter from last year Jasper Brinkley went to Zona. The nd connection is to much to ignore Spielmans going to bite may even due something crazy and trade up since Manti had a good pro day allegedly.

    Thursday Night be ready you won't be able to kill us with the read option look like last year. Washington with 5 primetime games wow.... I don't mind because I am a shanahan fan.

    The Viks have been ND North recently. I hope Rudolph breaks out this year.

    Shanny will have a new wrinkle or three for the rest of the league. I'm curious to see what he'll do next week in the draft. I'd say we would be a contender this year, but the cap penalty really screwed us. I think in 2014 we'll compete with the top teams (bunch of cap room, RGIII a year off injury).

    Washington's cap penalty was really shady I don't even think nfl insiders know the exact details. I think Washington should go for a cb , good job keeping fred davis btw. Rudolph should of broke out last year but ponder was holding him back big time , just look at Rudolph's game against San fran, dominant. Harrison Smith completely changed the defense last year , i was shocked by how athletic and tough he was.

    Washington will contend unless Rg3 is not healthy at all. That defense is getting Orakpo back this year too.

    Still worried about the secondary. Hopefully Meriweather comes back healthy. That bastard Winfield chose the Seahawks.:mad:

    I just pray that we don't select Tyrann Mathieu in the 2nd or 3rd.....

    Thats what I meant. Worst transaction I've ever seen, and the insane salary bump and contract extension shortly afterwards was too much lols for this guy. Just bustin balls though, ;)

    He was even worse with the vikings literally every pass he threw at the ankles.

    He always one-hopped passes, even in his prime. I always joked with Iggles fans that he would be a hell of a third baseman for the Phillies.

    I got one with provolone and the other they forced me to have it "whiz wit" (Pats). I like provolone better. Bread was good and Genos steak was all right. Have you tried it ?

    Thats a tough question, bc there are so many mom and pop shops that make really good ones. It all depends on where you are at. My favorite when I was a kid was Delassandro's kinda near Manayunk.

    But as far as well known places, next time your in Philly go to John's Roast Pork and grab a roast pork with Provolone and brocali rabe. amazing. And Cosmi's Deli for a cheesesteak.

    No, I've always meant to drive up there just for the steaks, but I've just never come around to it. Now that you say they're overrated, not sure if I'll go up there, there really.....nevermind NotreDameFlamengo :p

    I also prefer provolone on my cheesesteaks. I was always curious as to what set these places apart from a cheesesteak from Jerry's or another place like it (don't kill me ND, haha).

    Its kind of like pizza, in that if you eat enough of them, you start to notice the small things that make all the difference. But that said, they are what they are, just a hoagie and not some great thing worthy of a 3 hour drive. Most of them are comparable to each other.
