He is a my #1 DT/NT going into the season. A true double team beast

My fandom has me really believing we'll be picking at No. 32 in the next draft...

If not , Vea is projected as a mid-first-round pick as of now and we should make every effort to take the Big Boy...

I get that reference... can still see the hit in my head.
- and so can Joe Montana, if he can remember that day.

Joe Montana was never the same after that MDK (Murder-Death-Kill) from Jim Burt...

I believe he had a separated sternum from that blow...

As someone who also rooted for the Oilers, I would have to disagree. He still had the magic for the Chiefs. At least on one particular playoff game.

So long as he does not follow some former Saints diets...
