What is your pet peeve about players/teams that other fanbases routinely get incorrect?
Mine is everyone calling Adrian Peterson AP when his nickname was always AD (All Day).

The 1943, 1984, and 1992 draft classes are the only draft classes to produce no hall of famers (with everyone hall of fame eligible). The 2008 and 2009 NFL draft classes look like they very well could join that club; I don't know if there are any sure-fire hall of famers in those classes. Here are the players with the best chances in each of those classes:
2008: Matt Ryan and Calais Campbell
2009: Matt Stafford and LeSean McCoy
I personally would love to see all of them in the Hall, but based on the recent decisions of the Hall they all seem like fringe guys at best, who may reach some finalist groups but nothing more than that. Do you guys think these guys or anyone else in those draft classes has a shot at making the Hall and keeping these draft years away from infamy?

Looking for guys that are probably Day 3 prospects or players that you have a much higher outlook on than consensus. Mine is Kimani Vidal from Troy. I have him as my RB8.

I'm kind of wondering if the people who are predicting Michael Penix and Bo Nix to go in the first still are just sticking with traditional draft narrative and ignoring 2022 where several QBs were expected to go in the first simply because they were QBs but teams waited to take them
Also I'm guessing Ryan Tannehill will eventually sign with whoever drafts Penix, Nix or Spencer Rattler
I'm back for another year! Good luck to everyone's livers, and drink responsibly! I am currently writing this 4 beers deep so I may think of new ideas between now and Thursday and will edit this post accordingly. check back before the draft starts for any updates!
As a Detroiter, I recommend listening to Gmac Cash as your soundtrack for the night. Also, a healthy dose of Trick Trick and Eminem.
Take one drink every time the following happens:
Someone is selected. I mean, we’re here to drink, right?
Downtown Detroit, Ford Field, or a Motown landmark is shown, or a montage of auto workers plays.
Someone says something that makes you roll your eyes. Double it if that someone is Mel Kiper.
Someone makes a kneecaps reference
A player is labeled “raw” or “a project”
Someone says "rebirth," "revitalization," or "comeback" while talking about Detroit (the city or the team)
A clip from Lions Hard Knocks is shown
Take two drinks every time the following happens:
A team is making its second (or third) pick of the night
Someone gets drafted who you know nothing about
A player’s character is questioned.
Someone mentions the Michigan-Penn State game where they didn't throw the entire second half
A Wide Receiver or O-Lineman is selected
The new Detroit sign on I-94 is shown (upgrade this to a shot if they mention the context of why Detroiters are mad about it)
Finish your drink every time the following happens:
A trade occurs
Players from the same school are selected in back-to-back picks
No defensive players go in the top 10
Quarterbacks are selected 1, 2, 3, and 4. Add a shot if LA runs in the pick to take Harrison.
Whenever a player from a non-power-5 school is selected.
Someone uses the typical white football player cliches when a white player gets drafted.
A recap of the results of the Stafford-Goff trade is shown
Break out your favorite hard liquor and take a shot every time the following happens:
Your favorite team makes a selection
Kool-Aid McKinstry is selected (we’ve gotta keep up the theme of taking a shot when the prospect with the coolest name that’s expected to go in the first round is picked!)
A running back or linebacker is drafted
Someone mentions Travis Kelce dating Taylor Swift
The Rams actually draft in the 1st round
The Raiders massively overdraft someone
Cooper DeJean and Ladd McConkey both go in the 1st round
Drink responsibly, it's not weakness to tap out! (Lord knows I do most years)

I want to go see the McAfee show live in Detroit for the Thursday night draft show. I’m reading conflicting reports. Can people watch the show and, if so, where is it? It’s crazy the info is so lacking.
