- Some of the current Raider jersey #s are too funky.
J. Russell is simply NOT a #2.
I've never been able to wrap my brain around seeing him in #2.
Doug Flutie was the PERFECT #2, which is a similar player to a #1 (Billy Martin the classic #1), only not quite as rugged or hard-core tough.
A #2 is a tough, gritty, smart little guy with a bit of a 'softness' to him which a #1 does not have.
Russell would be an ideal #18 -- which is a tall, broad shouldered player.

I've never cared that much for WR's wearing teen numbers.
They just always look a bit 'awkward' running around like that -- not as smooth looking as an 80-something number.
So J. Walker and D. Carter running around in #17 and #18 just don't make it for me, sorry.

M. Bush in #29 is a little awkward-looking too.
I guess perhaps E. Dickerson was the greatest #29 running back, and he was a GOOD #29 -- which is a tallish player with a fairly long stride and a slippery quality to him.
Bush would be a GREAT #44 -- a barrel-chested player.
Bush could also go good in #42 or #43.

- Has anyone ever stepped foot in a gas station restroom run by Hinduranians that wasn't a COMPLETE un-kept shithole??
Seriously, what is up with this phenomenon?

-AFC's toughest and weakest looking divisions
South
West

-NFC's toughest and weakest looking divisions
East
West

-For all the off-season blather about B. Favre and A. Rogers, it says here that they will both disappoint this season.

- I have the thought in the back of my head that Oakland could perhaps look to deal J. Fargas for help at WR, OL or DL.
Bush and McFadden might be a terrific 'thunder and lightning' combo, making Fargas somewhat expendable ... maybe.
Not saying I want Fargas out, because Oakland needs a lot more guys LIKE him -- hard-nosed, nose-to-the-grindstone, mouth shut, tough hombre, but I could see it happening -- especially if we struggle as badly at WR as we are right now, and trading Fargas (or packaging him and a pick) could land us a WR upgrade.

-Speaking of Raider WR's ....
Curry is slightly dinged (Isn't he always?).
Walker hasn't found himself yet -- will he?
Carter has no big history of accomplishment.
Higgins sucked, like TOTALLY, last year.
Russell might tire of throwing 7 yd passes to Bush, Miller and McFadden.
Not to mention what Al might think of this.

-Speaking of which ...
Kiffin has purposely turned Russell (for the time being, anyway) into a dink-and-dunker.
For the sake of his ... development, it seems, and perhaps also due to protection issues, receiver issues, and Russell's own competency issues.
Russell as a dink-and-dunker is the LAST thing Alvis had in mind when he drafted the big kid.
So yeah, if we're something like 2-4 and Russell is looking like he came out of the Rich Gannon school of QBing, I can see Al kicking Kiffin to the curb.
If, on the other hand, we're like 4-2 and Russell is dinking it around ... Al will just have to suck it up, sort of like the Republicans do with John McCain as their nominee.
Yeah, you get the picture.

Just win, baby.

- It says here that Reggie Bush will have himself a pretty damn good year in '08.

-NFL rule changed in '08
A receiver MUST get two feet down in bounds -- no 'he was forced out' is in effect.
Except, and maybe you didn't know this, if a player is carried out by a defender.
In that case, a referee may rule that the receiver would have gotten two feet down, hence a catch, had the defender not ... carried him out.
Hmmmmmm ......
Might be interesting.

Hands to the facemask are ok now -- so long as you don't grip and rip, or turn.
Also will be interesting to watch.

-The Asian, with his/her slant eyes and narrow face, seem to always look like their trying to pull some shit over on you ... even if they aren't.

-Qbert has a queer tongue




oooot ........

I'm gonna ride on 'tart's coattails here....

I'm happy that Schaub chose to wear the #8 jersey so we can erase the bad memories of David Carr and his throwing glove. It was akward at first, but now it's actually refreshing to see someone who can actually make a throw in the same jersey.

Jacoby Jones wears #12 for the receiving core and I am alright with it. Doesn't bother me like it used to when the league approved it years back. Andre Johnson as #80 just looks perfect. And so does Mario sporting #90 although he is a beast and would look better wearing #96, but 90 is deece.

How do you treat people who are public servants like waitresses at casual dining establishments or take your order at a fast food joint? I'm always apprehensive in correcting them when they get my order wrong or when I ask for some suace and they don't give me enough. I always feels I'm bothering them.

Carson Palmer was being itnerviewed by Rome last week and brought it to Carson's attention that the AFC North was playing the NFC East this year and it's the two toughest divisions in the league going up against one another. Carson agreed. I laffed. The AFC South is the toughest division in the AFC and arguable the toughest division in all of football.

Fuck Rome and Palmer for thinking the North is tougher.

Ahman Green says he feels okay and Johnson started doing individual drills. Team doctors say Johnson can go for Saturday's game against NO, but they are going to be cautious with him. Kubiak says Chris Brown is going to get the bulk of the load in the backfield this week to see if that back is fine.

Salaam and Weary are still battling injuries. We're gonna need those guys. Both should be reayd by the season opener, but with zone blocking, it's all about getting more and more reps. When they get back into the mix, it's going to take them a little time to adjust to Gibbs' scheme.

The NFL needs to change the overtime rules. I think they need to do what they do in college, but don't count the stats. That would be awesome.

No fucking way those Asian girl gymnists were 16 years old. They are young enough for Toddowen's taste. China = cheaters.

Nnamdi's X-Ray was negative -- great news!

I agree that the overtime rule should be changed.
Stats show us that overwhelmingly, the team that wins the coin flip wins the game.
TOO much is riding on that flip of the coin.
Not good.

I wouldn't favor going to the college format, though.
I'd favor playing one entire quarter of football.
Whoever has the most points at the end of the extra quarter wins the game.
If they are still tied -- it's a tie.

I tend to be like you regarding public servants, Rumps.
Although I'm not adverse to requesting a blowjob rather than a piece of cheesecake if the waitresse is an 8 or above.

The AFC South was definitely stronger than the North last year.
The records don't lie.

I have forgotten about D. Carr's faggot glove. lol
Thanks for the refresher.

Oh ... about the gymnasts ...
In Korea, kids are ONE YEAR OLD when they are born.
So a 15 yr old kid is said to be ... 16 yrs old.
Perhaps in China kids are 5 yrs old at birth.
Just a thought.

Quite the stream of conscious post there, 'tart. Rack the time on your hands.

I believe we've already covered this, and my take was that this rule change was horseshit. You pooh-poohed my concerns then, but are now flip-flopping? Must be an election year.

So now there's a difference between being "forced out" and "carried out". :?

Fucking great, even more grey areas for the zebras to attempt to interpret in the heat of the moment.

The old rule was fine. It's usually pretty obvious when a receiver would've come down, both feet in bounds, had he not first been shoved by a defender in mid-air.

I'm fine with the receiver needing to get both feet down, regardless of contact.
I had just never heard the ... unless he is carried out ... part that is in the new rule.

Yep, some serious grey area in there.


mvscal, six hour game???
Where do you get that?
1 extra quarter of play = less than one more hr of play, 15 football minutes.
Right now that happens sometimes anyway in overtime and it is quite common for an overtime game to go 6, 8, 10 ... whatever, football minutes long.
Just playing one full quarter is no big deal in the context of what is already happening.


Since 1974, teams that won the coin flip have won 52% of the overtimes compared with 43% for teams that lost the coin flip. Another 5% of games ended in ties. Because of the roughly even ratio, the NFL has not altered the system.
But since 1994, when kickoffs were moved up 5 yards to the 30-yard line, almost one-third (32.6%) of the games have been captured by the team that won the toss and scored on its first possession. That is a considerable jump from the previous 20 seasons at 25.5%.

52% to 43% would be a landslide in a national election. :wink:

Face it, winning a silly coin flip shouldn't make for such an advantage, when a game is at stake because of it.

Seems like the solution is obvious. Move the kickoffs up 5 yards during overtime.

Not surprising that mvscal would pick one number out of the stats and ride with it.

52% to 43% all-time, with 5% ending in a tie.

If the flip was no big deal we'd see 48% to 48% with 4% ending in tie.

A 9% difference based strictly on a flip of the coin?? lol

No sale.


That's not to mention the numbers you see which show that since '94, when the kickoff spot was changed, the receiving team has been shown to have a BIGGER statistical advantage.

Once again was able to watch JUST the first half of the Raider game.
Raiders v. Titan .. ics.

Quick views:

- Russell played the whole first half, and looked good, overall.
10-17, 75 yds, one NICE TD pass to Z. Miller -- sweet throw, great catch by Miller
Needless to say, we've got to get more out our WR's and we've got to be able to get it downfield more regularly.
He looks more comfortable throwing the ball downfield than he does on the little dump-off stuff.
But overall, damn, Russell IS a seriously impressive looking QB with a seriously impressive package of tools.
Time will tell whether he can live up to what he might be.

- Tennessee's gameplan for this meaningless game was obviously to see what they could do with the passing game.
Raiders were without both starting corners, and yet Vince Young did exactly ... DICK.
Great college QB, that guy ... WAS.

- McFadden looked good again.
6 carries, 44 yds, no TDs, no fumbles
M. Bush didn't see the field much in the first half.

- TE Z. Miller is going to emerge as Russell's most reliable target.
He's gonna be a Raider fan favorite for many years to come.

- I think Oakland blitzed more in this half of football than they did ALL of last season.
Props to whoever was able to extricate R. Ryan's head from his wide @ss this offseason.

- Overall, the Raider defense has looked very good the first two preseason games.
Taking it with a grain of salt.

- J. L. Higgins ... ummm .... W T F ???
Field punt on own 3 -- no, no
Turn and run ... backwards?? -- no, no
Fumble ball -- no, no
Other teams scores TD -- no, no
Other team is LIAO at you -- no, no

MY views of tonight's Raydahs-Titans tilt:

JaRyan had best learn how to more accurately throw the ball to his WRs before he gets them KILLED. Other than that Dude seems to have fairly good pocket presence.

Note to AFC West defenses- TRIPLE TEAM Raydah TE Zach Miller. Every. Single. Play.

D-Mac....fucking STUD. That dude hits the hole as fast or FASTER than most NFL RBs I've seen in recent memory. Doesn't hurt that the 'Duh O-line appears to be opening said holes for him. They get that fucking guy going and JaRyan might even make it as a QB in this league, allowing him to go VUH-TI-CUL when enemy Ds stack 8-9 in the "box" to stop McFadden.

Michael Huff....MIGHT be the best player in the 'Duh secondary this season. Guy was EVERYWHERE on the field tonight. :shock:

Having said all that, the Chiefs will STILL sweep yer asses this year. Mark it down. :wink:

This is exactly why I think he's going to be effective.
He is a VERY good fit running in the zone-blocking scheme the 'duds are using.
No dancing around, no fugging around, he just HITS the hole.
Also runs pretty damn tough inside, better than I expected.
We'll have to wait and see how the durability thang works out for him.
Won't hurt a bit that Fargas and Bush figure to get their share of carries too.

I like.

Hell yes he's impressive. How'd you like those scrambling skills for a man of his size? Pretty damn fast, huh? His pocket presence is something you cant teach-every time he felt pressure, he made the right decision on which way to scramble, and where to throw the ball to. Also, By merely stepping on the field he now owns the NFL's strongest arm-and he's accurate as hell. 10-17 passing doesnt tell the story because Walker dropped one that hit him in the hands, as did Carter. JRuss is the real deal, and I cant wait to see him fully develop.

You're right about him looking more comfortable throwing the long ball as hard as he can instead of the dink and dunk shit.......but I completely understand why Kiff and Knapp are calling those plays-so he'll have a nice soft touch on his throws when thats all thats called for. He totally reminds me of a young Elway-only with a stronger arm, bigger frame, and much smaller chompers.

:D


Walker is a fucking twat, and I fully expect his ass to be kicked to the curb if he doesnt get his shit together before the end of preseason. We obviously fucked up by not keeping Carr for return duties as JLH is the new and improved Cleveland Gary. Fumbling asshole. Let him rot on the practice squad if he continues this garbage.


The Defense looked great even without Hall, and the front four 1st string were getting to Young almost every time he dropped back.


DMac......well, the guy's a monster and a treasure, and im happy as hell to have him.


The offensive line-If they play like this all season, then Cable needs a FATASS payday and to be kept around until he dies. What he has done with one of the worst O-lines in history a year and a half ago is nothing short of spectacular and incredible. I cant say enough about him or the ZBS.


Curry-this guy is always under the radar, but he's one of my favorites. He threw down a juke move on a Titan corner that no man who has had as many surgeries as him should be able to get away with. Its damn nice to see him back and healthy.

Miller-Todd Christenson minus the sweet ass Curlet. He'll be in the pro bowl for many years to come.


Overall, I liked what I saw out of our group. Alot.

THE NEWS
Quarterback JaMarcus Russell was not impressive overall in training camp, according to Jerry McDonald of the Contra Costa Times.
Our View
Quarterbacks traditionally take some time to develop, and Russell is on that path after missing so much time due to his contract impasse last season. He has little to no fantasy value.

You mean the guy who also wrote this:
Maybe my judgment is skewed after watching some truly bad quarterback play the last two training camps from a revolving door that included Aaron Brooks, Andrew Walter, Josh McCown and Daunte Culpepper, but the Raiders had a truly outstanding passing performance in Friday night’s second session.

JaMarcus Russell put on a a display which rivaled the average days of Jeff George and the best days of Kerry Collins, two noted practice passers. George is the best practice passer I’ve ever seen. Admittedly, that’s a little like watching a Barry Bonds batting practice, but it’s at least comforting to know your quarterback can put the ball where it belongs on a consistent basis with no real pressure.

(Rich Gannon was more a technician and not a jaw-dropping passer in practice situations _ his strength was leading a team and moving the chains in games. The best pass I ever saw Gannon throw in practice was when became angry over a few blown routes, turned sideways and rifled a ball over the fence and into Redwood Middle School).

Russell stepped up under a rush and threw a strike to Drew Carter. He rolled to his right and dropped a soft pass to tight end Tony Stewart in stride. He broke to his left with receivers covered in a seven-and-seven and hit Ronald Curry with a laser beam.

On one play during a team session, Russell even dropped back and victimized Nnamdi Asomugha, with Arman Shields gathering in a perfectly thrown rainbow that probably traveled 50-plus yards in the air. Asomugha took some grief from offensive coordinator Greg Knapp on that one, with Rob Ryan urging the cornerback to get the score back on the next play.

Most every receiver who found himself open caught a pass from Russell, including Johnnie Lee Higgins, Chris McFoy and Jonathan Holland.

With Russell being the top pick in last year’s draft, having an impressive passing performance maybe wasn’t all that surprising-even if it was fun to watch.

Go fuck yourself, cocksucker.

For the record, JaMarcus tweaked his throwing elbow halfway through camp and has been throwing on a sore elbow since-including yesterday. Yes, you read that right-those frozen ropes and laser beams will be even faster and harder thrown by the time JRock gets to destroy the fuck out of your shit D.

I'm laughing quite heartily at Cheffan who so desperately wants our squad to suck half as bad as thiers does. Too bad, cunts-this year is our motherfucking breakout party with our new blood that includes a sick ass LB, DE, and DB corps. Throw in The Franchise QB,TE, and RB with deece offensive line and WR talent, and its a recipe for fucking disaster for Queeftard when we meet up.

We smacked you with fucking McClown and a shit DPepp under center with NO DMac, Bush, Hall, or Wilson. Think about that, bitch.


The assbeating that will be laid on you faggots will be merciless and ugly. Period.

Best read in this forum for quite some time. That said, KC has fucking pwned the 'duhs for so long now, beating them has almost gotten boring. So you think you might finally have a chance to be anything other than a laughing stock joke of a shit team this year, eh? There's no myopia quite like that of 'duh fan in the pre-season. How cute.

Some good takes, James.

I'll give the O-Line some more credit for keeping the rush off Russell last night.
He had time, but also, as you said, the times that he did face pressure, he dealt with it well.
Yep, pocket presence isn't something that you can teach.

Russell's arm is highly impressive, but unlike most laser-arms, he is a very accurate passer.
The TD throw to Miller was one such example.

He's also noticably TALL, and he easily throws OVER trench situations which are often troubling to other QB's.

Russell is swimming upstream for a couple of reasons, though.
1. He's basically an advanced rookie -- so we're gonna see some mistakes out of him that we don't want to see
2. His WR's (other than Curry) aren't doing him any favors right now

I half expect Al to try to swing a deal in one way or another to get another established receiver in here.
Walker might come around, but right now we're in sad shape at WR.

Yeah, I expect him to make his share of rookie mistakes-the future looks bright as hell, though. I really think there will be a couple of waiver wire moves made before the regular season begins to upgrade our WR/OL situation. Dont know if you caught Mario Henderson's act, but he needs to be cut immediately. Dude got beat out by a guy who didnt even play football last year and Walter got the shit hammered out of him for it.......third stringer or not, he has to go.


I'm hating the Walker signing more and more by the second. Something has to be done to shore up the massive hole in our WR corps. We need a true X reciever badly. Get it done, Al.

I don't think Henderson is going to be around much longer.

Pussy.

Another blown pick on the O-Line.

And I'm not talking only about Gallery when I say that.
Gallery is obviously a waste as a LT, but he's found a home at G, so ... fine.

But Oakland has whifffffed on SO many O-Line draft picks over the years.
Terrible.

From what I've seen, the Raiders won't be embarassing themselves too much this year. It is the preseason, but the offense looks poised enough to turn a few heads. That depth at RB is a huge +.

As for my Texans, well the game against the Saints last night was both great and horrible.

The Great:

-Matt Schaub absolutely abused Jason David last night. That tells me that Schaub can read defenses and make throws where a weal link is located in the secondary. He was perfect.

-The receivers ran very good routes and caught the ball for the most part. Schaub laid a beauty of a ball over the outstretched arms of a NO linebacker that Davis eventually dropped, but other than that, the receivers were very good.

-The running backs didn't run the ball great but they seemed to gain the yardage necessary to get into a manageable conversion try on 3rd downs. Not bad.

-Execution was flawless on the offense. 10/14 on 3rd down conversions and red zone offense nearly perfect.

The Horrible:

-Maybe I'm being too hard on the defense, because they did hold the Saints to 4 and outs on their first two posessions. The second drive they were given great field position after Jafumbly Jones coughed up another punt return. Texans' backs were against the wall and they managed to hold the Saints to a filed goal.

-Technique from the secondary was very bad on long pass plays. Three times I saw one of our fast corners blaze down the field running step for step with the receiver and all they had to do was turn their head to find the ball and they would have defended the pass properly. The speed and coverage is there, but the technique when the ball is in the air has fucking terrible.

-The defensive line was pretty much shutdown the entire night. Didn't see anyone in the backfield for the first team except for Mario on a couple of occasions and stop Reggie for a loss and also hit Brees' arm on a pass play, but that was it. Now, there were a couple of times where Reggie was flushed to the outside because the middle was jammed, but he was able to gain good yardage because the linebackers nor the CBs were there to keep him contained. Not a good showing by the front seven.

This defense will get tested big time when they are on the field for almost 3 quarters against Dallas' first team next week. They better make some stops or we're in for a long season.

Two times now in the last week-or-so I see that Lane Kiffin has taken some backhanded swipes at Al for ... (paraphrasing) not doing enough to help the roster -- not enough competition in camp.
Doesn't think some personnel decisions have been correct.


Ummmm .... Lane??


Dude is an under-35 head coach who's got a sparkling 4-12 record as a head coach and he's moaning about folks above him not doing their jobs well.

:meds: x many

You can STFU anytime now, kiddo.

Win some fucking games and check back with us.


Al, to his credit, HAS for many decades gone balls-to-the-wall to bring in players (often at high cost) in an effort to upgrade talent.
This off-season was no different.
He walks the walk, while most owners on pay lip-service to doing ANYTHING to put a winner on the field.
I don't agree with all of his moves, nor his methods, but you'd think a coach would realize that, with a 4-12 record on his resume, he really has no leverage by which to level charges of incompetency on someone else's part.

Sit the fuck down, son.

Wow,,,where o' WHERE do I begin here? :lol:

Lane Kiffin GETS it. Alcula The Daywalker has spent his money FOOLISHLY the past few years trying to get his merry band of underacheivers back to respectability, only to have them impact the proverbial brick wall at a high rate of speed every time. The guy probably has a pretty good idea on what type of player he wants in his system, and idiots like Javon Walker I'm quite sure don't fit the profile. Yet Alcula throws WAY too much $$$ at dumbshits like Walker and expects them to perform up to the level of their oversized contract.

Until Alcula either DIES or gets it through that 20W/50-slicked back 5 or 6 hairs left on his pock-marked shriveling dome that throwing a shitload of $$$ at free agents IS NOT the way to rebuild a NFL team in this day and age, then the Raydahs are ALWAYS going to suck no matter if Bill Freaking Belichick is the head coach.

RaydahFan, until The Managing General Partner (whatever the fuck THAT is :meds: ) takes a dirt nap, bend over and just let the rest of the league do you like they ALWAYS do. Hell, you ought to be used to it by now. :hfal:

If not for Cutler being outed as an insulin dependent diabetic, I might have put the broncos ahead of the Raiders in the division this year- could still possibly happen, but only with a shit-load of luck & breaks going their way. The bolts are one play- one injury- away from 3rd in the West. Next season, Chargers are a solid 3rd. This is the year for the Raiders to make their move.

Prediction:
1. Raiders (10-6)
2. Broncos (8-8)
3. Bolts (7-9)
4. Chefs(4-12)

You're the Clippers of football, bitch-and your owner's ONLY rival in sports goes by the name of Donald Sterling. End of story.



Besides, shouldnt you still be suckling your thumb and clinging your blanky while rocking back in forth in the corner reminiscing about past Oilers glory (greatest collapse ever much?) while cursing the name "Bud Adams"? You arent even a real fucking Chargettefan, pussy.

Sorry 'Tart, but I totally disagree with you on this subject. This is what Kiff said:
“You’ve got to be willing to release people,” Kiffin said. “When guys are in the training room, they’re not out here practicing, you’ve to be willing to release ‘em, and live with it, and pick other people up for more competition.”
He's right. We had more than several guys (including one with a broken leg!?) who rarely participated in training camp and werent cut when they should've been. Fuck that-this is football, and if you're a backup scrub who cant even make it to the fucking field, then you should get cut immediately. Having depth is a big part of football due to injuries, and right now we have very little because The Count has certain players on a fucking scholarship (as usual).


I hope Kiff cuts Javon Walker. That would be fucking EPIC and send a serious message to our youngins that you BETTER show the fuck up to play and not steal paychecks ('sup Jenny Pouter and Barry Sims). If he sucks shit again this week, Javon is G-O-N-E baby. Mark my words.

Tommy Kelly (I know...who?): Seven years, $50.5 million, $18 million guaranteed

Gibril Wilson: Six years, $39 million, $16 million guaranteed.
Those 2 are worth every damn penny. Not only has Bellychick publicly sang Kelly's praises, Sapp and just about everyone else who has seen him play and wreck shop has great things to say. Wilson is a fucking stud, and his signing alone has ensured Huff to be a force due to him moving back to his natural SS position.


Hey, they made your boy Vince Young look like a walking grasstain in little over a quarter Oilerfan.


I'll throw up numerous fucking names that will incite much laughter all over this forum about The Clippers of football's signings and fuckups over the years (David Boston, Marcellus Wiley, Wade Richey, and big money to Tim fucking Dwight...letting Harrison, Parella, Jr., Carney go ect, ect, ect.)

As usual, you remain a clueless dumbfuck.

Care to elaborate on what all these enormous problems are that are going to keep them the 'duhs of the AFC West for years?

Or are you just flapping your gums about something you don't really have a clue about?

Aside from the lack of a proven QB, most of their problems can and have been addressed thru the draft. My main concern other than QB was the O-Line, and that's been looking better than expected thus far. While I certainly don't expect more than 6 wins this year, IF they can get some decent play at QB, the rebuilding effort won't take near as long as some think.

So far, that can't be debated.
a shitty O line
Through 2 preseason games they have blocked FAR better than anybody expected them to, and that's without Branden Albert at LT.
and a suspect D can be reasonably construed as "enormous" problems.
The Chiefs' D has statistically improved in each of the last two years, and there's NO reason to believe that they won't improve more this season with the best player in the 08 draft at DT and a STUD 2nd rounder starting at CB.

I'd say that you don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about when it comes to the Chiefs, shit-for-brains. Feel free to re-enter the conversation when you do.

You mean no reason other than the fact that they traded away the only player worth a fuck on that defense. You lost one of the best young DEs in the league and all you have to show for it is a fat slob taking up space in the training room.

A rather odd way of "improving" the defense, I'd say.
You DID NOT just fucking SAY THAT, BITCH. You simply do NOT get IT. Dorsey is COMPLETELY HEALTHY, just ask the doctors who CHECKED him out before the DRAFT, dickhead. :hfal:
