    Most of us know Walt Whitman as probably the greatest poet in the history of the US of A.
    However, many do not know that Walt's great God Son, Joe, was blessed with a real, live left-handed pitching arm.
    Joe just signed with the SF Giants.

    (I keep telling you those southpaw pitchers are pure evil)

      Funny how people think Shadeur was "owed" a lofty draft position. If any of those owners/coaches thought he was franchise changing quarterback, they would have jumped at the opportunity, much less wait until the 5th round. If Sanders is so great, he'll earn the bag in the long run, it's still there for the taking, it just isn't getting dropped in his lap right out of the gate is all.

        Just messing with you Nasher.

        I pitched lefty in high school .
        The Jesuit’s made sure I knew all about Walt Whitman. Did not know about his Godson though.
        Good stuff.

          I know that, I just love serving it back, all in good fun, of course.
          Not for nothing, the only thing Joe and Walt have in common is the same last name, no relation.

          I do believe Walt Whitman said something to the effect a hundred years ago, "I am neither hetero nor homosexual, I am married to my writings."

          That was just my attempt at bad satire.

            What’s wrong with calling yourself the greatest? I’ve never met a winner that didn’t expect to win. Nor a loser that didn’t expect to lose. Winners learn to plaster positive affirmations all over the place. I wouldn’t want someone that didn’t think they were a big deal.

              I'd agree for the most part but there's a big difference in being confident and believing in yourself as opposed to being arrogant and delusional. That coupled with some of the other baggage and concerns that he will likely bring along is a major cause for concern.

              To have that type of attitude, you can get away with it if your talent is off the charts....not for a likely backup QB.

                Belief in your own greatness and announcing it to the world without evidence are two different things. The silent assassins who sweat and toil when the crowds have dispersed and the cameras are off are typically the ones to fear. Shadeur just seems like he's inhabiting a character and hoping to sway believers with words rather than actions.

                    I played with a lot of arrogant and sometimes delusional teammates. You almost have to be to run through a wall, be a gunner on kick off, knock someone’s head off. If you’re not confident and believe in yourself, you can be killed out there. So that’s a prerequisite. But some guys are just wired in different ways. Some feed off of bravado and being an ass and being doubted. I can’t tell a man how to motivate themselves. It has to come from within.

                    we shall soon see if he has talent or not. The NFL is not a charity club. If you can’t play, you won’t make it past camp.

                      Sanders took a no name HBCU college team and made them a household name. He went to a Colorado team that was one of the worst in football. He quadrupled their wins, brought a winning culture, infused a lot of money to a team that needed it badly. Nobody talked about Colorado. What more evidence do you need? What more actions does he need to do?

                        None of that had anything to do with Deion being the coach? Come on man...
