And Commanders it is - the Washington Commanders. OK.

How many years did you serve Commander? Was it all active?

Active Duty, 20 years, last 5 as a Commander (last 3 at USNA, best duty ever!).

ESPN 30 for 30 The Tuck Rule.

Brady and Woodson. Great stuff.

I've avoided it since the day the atrocity happened. Don't know if I can sit through a sappy 30 for 30 about it.

Sarcasm aside, this year they drafted a shutdown cornerback in the first round...

A shutdown corner at the NCAA level.

Not too shabby:

...according to stathead.com, Stokes allowed a measly 49.5% completion rate on the season, fourth in the league among all NFL defensive backs targeted more than 45 times.

But what was unique is that it was a fake slide, not just a simple fake meant to evade defenders. Look at the way Pickett dragged his foot on the turf. The fact that the powers-that-be acted so swiftly to change the rule indicates that they didn't see Pickett's move as an ordinary fake.

Pickettt first QB in the draft last night, bout only 20th overall.
What's the latest that the first QB has gone?

edit - had to look it up

1997 - 26th pick - Druckenmiller (VaT) by the 49ers
and Jake the Snake Plummer was the second one with pick 12 in the second round.

Brock Purdy...#262...Mr. Irrelevant...wonder what how all the previous #262s have fared in the NFL?

Last year's Mr. Irrelevant played for the Bucs mostly as a solid special teamer. The Bucs also have another Mr. Irrelevant on their roster...their kicker Ryan Succop who was drafted by the Chiefs in 2009.

this year's Mr. I, Brock Purdy of Iowa State, looks to have decent shot at making 49ers as backup QB.

Skylar Thompson from Kansas State is another 7th round QB likely to make the roster for the Dolphins.

An unsourced statement on Wiki says that in the history of the Mr. Irrelevant awards more have made a roster than not. But a much smaller fraction have actually appeared in an NFL game, and just a handful log more than 10 appearances.

I'm glad that the No Fun League has embraced the Irrelevant Week festivities, which are set up to raise money for charities, and includes the presentation of the "Lowsman" Trophy
