One of my salesmen is in the queue for Gillis/Bryan tickets. There are 51,000 people in front of. They were made available 2 minutes ago. WTG Chef Goldblum
Everyone in this thread should have VIP status or at least get a free hotdog or something. Wtf good is a messageboard friendship if you can't leverage it?
Chef Goldblum you better have like a dozen tickets for the guys you used to hang out with before you blew up. Hate to see you lose your roots.
There are a handful of people I know who are going to really make fun of me if I'm ever in the same room as chef and he blows me off when I tell him I'm from the ND thread on tmb.
Remembering some guys Omar Hunter Aurelious Benn Montez Wilson Seantrel Henderson Chris Galippo Eddie Vanderdoes
The one that really hurts is stepherson, all the busts were just not very good. Stepherson was a legit nfl player that was just too dumb to make ok décisions. I used ok because he did not need to be smart, just not a complete idiot he would have been drafted
There was that one class the missed on like 5 5 stars after the all star game. A few to Tennessee (Donaldson, some de) then like Benn and martes Wilson. They all sucked.
We had a pretty remarkable run of just missing on 5* busts. I think Aldridge is the one of that group that we actually got.
it was no coïncidence, these staffs were not good evaluators. The 5 stars nd got were not pursued heavily by the best programs back then edit- I should not say they were not good at evaluating because they put together some solid teams. Just not as good as what we have seen from Freeman *chad bowden so far
Benn had a really good college career didn’t he? I thought Martez Wilson was pretty good too but can’t remember. The Tennessee guys sucked though, like Jordan Johnson level busts.
How does a Guy like Jordan Johnson gets ranked as a 5 stars? 200k? Dude could not even be wr 1 at UConn
Cam Williams being higher rated than the other WRs in his class might have also been a mistake. Granted, still plenty of time on that one but the reviews are way more positive on other guys
Dude played stiff as hell at ND but I remember at that time we had the worst S&C coach ever who just emphasized bench press over everything so we had dudes with gigantic arms and no core strength, trying to remember his name but fuck that guy
I think you are thinking of Mickey Marotti, but not entirely sure edit: Actually I think you are thinking about Ruben Mendoza
Him and John Latina have made me allergic for coaches who look like they should be running a youtube channel about barbecue and the right wood to smoke every sort of meat
That was during the time when college football fans began to realize the importance of S&C coaches but had absolutely no idea how to determine if one was good, so every new hire at every school was the greatest S&C coach around. Until they got fired. At which point the next hire was the best in the business.
If I recall he literally started going blind or something crazy like that and Kelly who is a Pos but was loyal to him didn’t remove Longo until basically being forced to. I remember reading stories of players getting private gym membership trainers. Seems not true but who knows
Silly question but I’m getting old. How was Chef outed again on TMB? Did he out himself? I can’t remember even though it was only a few years ago…
He sent stand up clips to some of us while he was still doing small circuit stuff. I think it was well known who he was by the time the SNL stuff happened.
