Is there going to be any kind of TV-Out tweaking in the near future (no matter how rudimentary)? Using overlay I am unable to make it fit snug on the screen, at all. Perhaps allow Modelines to be modified again ;)
Re: TV Out functionality
Re: TV Out functionality
TV-Out modelines have never been modifiable. This is a hardware restriction based on TV standards.

Additional Information on Waters Interlude 2011
Vintage: 2011
The year 2011 was an interesting year for many northern and central European countries, as the weather was more than unpredictable in the spring and summer. However, in most countries, the climatic conditions thankfully settled down in the late summer and fall. The result of this slightly difficult year of weather in France was a set of surprisingly small yields, but overall, these yields were of a higher quality than those harvested in certain previous years. A fantastic set of wines was also made in Italy and Spain, and the Rioja wines - when released - are set to be very good indeed. Austria also had superb year in 2011, with almost fifty percent more grapes being grown and used for their distinctive Gruner Veltliner wines than in the year before. Possibly the European country which had the finest 2011, though, was Portugal, with wineries in the Douro region claiming this year to be one of the best in decades for the production of Port wine, and the bright, young Vinho Verdes wines. In the New World, the Pacific Northwest saw some of the best weather of 2011, and Washington State and Oregon reportedly had a highly successful year, especially for the cultivation of high quality red wine grapes. Chile and Argentina had a relatively cool year, which certainly helped retain the character of many of their key grape varietals, and should make for some exciting drinking. South Africa had especially good weather for their white wine grape varietals, particularly Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, and many South African wineries are reporting 2011 as one of their best years in recent memory.
Region: Washington State
Washington state currently holds host to over six hundred wineries, each producing wines using the many classic grape varietals which flourish in the arid, dry region to the east of the Cascade mountains. Since the Washington wine industry began in the beginning of the 19th century, great efforts have been made to irrigate the semi-desert which makes up much of the state, and the results have been enormously successful in regards to creating an environment in which a wide range of grapevines can flourish. There are certain fine wineries in the wetter western region of Washington, although these make up less than one percent of the region's overall wine production levels. Recent decades have seen red wines becoming increasingly popular in the United States, and many of those produced in Washington are considered to be amongst the country's finest produce.
Country: United States
Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.
Appellation: Walla Walla
The beautiful wine region of Columbia Valley in Washington State is one of the true gems of the United States' wine industry, full of innovative wineries and dedicated vintners, keen to prove that their terroir is as good as any found elsewhere in the world. Within Columbia Valley, we find the beautiful sub-region of Walla Walla, typified by its gently sloping hills and dry, arid soil. The sub-region of Walla Walla has been building up a powerful reputation for excellence over the past few decades, and many successful vintages in the late 90's prompted the opening of several new wineries within the area, boosting the local industry and increasing competition. The key grape varietals of Walla Walla are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, which love the hot climatic conditions and dry, arid soils of the region, and produce magnificently complex and flavorful wines.

Florida State wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin is too slow. He's too old. He drops too many passes. He's not a great route runner. He's overweight. Did I miss anything? Now that I have acknowledged all of his warts, it's only fair to also talk about his positives.
Kelvin Benjamin makes plays and he makes plays inside the red zone.
During his recent Pro Day, the Pittsburgh Steelers seemed to be very interested in Benjamin as not only were they spotted talking to him throughout the day, they also had dinner with him Tuesday night.
Many feel that drafting Benjamin with the 15th overall selection is a reach and those same people also believe there is no way he last until the second round. In other words, the Steelers will need to move down in round one or possibly up in round two to draft him.
We'll see how it plays out, but for several weeks now we've been hearing how the Steelers "intend" on drafting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger a "tall" wide receiver. Benjamin is "tall" and he uses that to his advantage. He's a mismatch inside the red zone.
Last season, Roethlisberger had 18 red zone touchdown passes and 8 of those went to veteran wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery, who was one of the tallest wide receivers on the roster last season outside of Derek Moye, who also caught one of those 18.
Five of the remaining nine red zone touchdown catches from last year went to Emmanuel Sanders and he's now a member of the Denver Broncos.
Antonio Brown caught 110 passes for a franchise record 1,499 yards last season. He also had eight touchdown receptions of which only one came inside the red zone.
Last year, Benjamin was thrown to 12 times inside the red zone and of the seven balls that he caught, all seven were touchdowns. Unless you think that Cotchery, who currently remains unsigned, can duplicate his output from last season, the Steelers are going to have to draft a player that can score inside the red zone. Benjamin might very well end up being that player.
Below are animated gifs of all of Benjamin's touchdown catches from last season to spice up the conversation.
Um… wow. I'd seen a couple of clips, but this is pretty awesome. I agree he'd be a reach at 1-15, but it's been a long time since we had a guy who could go up and do that (that second one reminds me of Torrey Smith). Imagine how good he'd look on the receiving of some red zone tosses from Ben, and how just his presence on the field would free up Le'Veon and Miller. And with Brown so good as to demand double-teams, perhaps his limitations wouldn't be as easily exploited by defences.
Like him. Would like him best if he could be had in the second round, and a top flight corner could be had in the first, but that's a pipe dream.
He is fun to watch, to say the least
If we come out of this draft with 2 CBs and a WR in the first 4 rounds I would be happy. Benjamin is slightly overdrafted at 15, but I do think he may still have more untapped potential. Benjamin, Purifoy, and Desir I think would be a good draft…and we would still have 5 other picks.
I'd be happy if they drafted him at 1.15- Even if one of the top CB's are on the board. That tells me they are trying to have a top offense for next year and will build the D thru 2015- You only have so many Benjamins enter the draft every decade, I'm not sure they'll choose him over Gilbert or Dennard but you never know.
With his good pro day showing that Mayock talked highly about I would't be surprised if he's off the board in the teens. Outside of Watkins and Evans the next 3 or 4 WR's are in the same class, but nobody has the size and potential Benjamin does. Teams covet that. I think they'll have to grab him at 1.15 or they won't get him.
No to Robinson from PSU? I think if a potential shutdown corner is sitting there, they should send that intern running to the podium. But and its possible if a QB falls, take the trade and drop back and get him later, Cardinals & Browns may both want to trade up and they could get that 3rd round pick back.
I've been on the Benjamin bandwagon for a while now, but there's no way you can justify taking him at 1.15, especially with the receivers that will be available in the second. I think we should take Dennard in the first and Donte Moncrief or Jordan Mathews in the second.
At first I was strongly opposed to him due to his age. But I am warming up to the idea. I think he could add 6 TDs to the offense this year. We need a boost in the Green Zone in the worst way.
AB would benefit from having him.
Who would see the top corner if this guy is on the field. Most top corners have size, but AB's change of direction makes them look silly due to their size. AB is also very hard to jam.
Agreed. Picture this- AB taking top CB, Benjamin opposite him, Wheaton and Cotchery, Miller, and Bell. That is one hell of a passing threat if you ask me. Offensive weapons masters in their own way.
It would be very hard for any defense to defend- and guess what… we have a mobile QB who sheds tackles like an elephant running from hyenas- He would match up much better to Seattle's D than ol' bones Manning.
You don't take a WR in the 1st round because he is a redzone threat alone. If Evans is there then yes though highly unlikely but he is a complete package. This draft is to deep at WR and a number of big redzone threat types to go with Benjamin in Rd 1. He will not be BPA at 15. If he somehow falls into 2nd rd, then fine I could see it. There are two top cbs, one of which should be there, prefer GIlbert but ok with Dennard. Can go Rd 2 at WR, then back to defense in Rd 3.
Great article Dave,
It seems like every time someone brings up the name Kelvin Benjamin all you hear is how bad he sucks and how there's no way he's worth the 1.15 pick. I disagree. Just hear me out…
What if you knew Benjamin would score 20 TDs his first season in the NFL? Would you draft him at 1.15 then? Would the points he produces outweigh the weaknesses? Would it matter to you how many routes he could run? Or that his drop rate was double the normal?
Take baseball. What if the Pirates drafted a 1st baseman at #1 overall who hit 50 HRs his first season? Would you care that he only hit .270 and couldn't run?
Kelvin Benjamin has the ability to the most important thing in all of football. Win the game. Go up and get the ball, in traffic, with the game on the line. What is that worth? We'll find out what the Steelers brass/coaches think very shortly…
Old? He was 23 in February. What is the difference between a 23-year-old starting his first season, and a player a year or two younger sitting (you know, the "Steeler" way!) for two seasons? And what the hell is the difference if he is picked 15th or 20th or whatever in the first round, or somewhere in the second round, if he plays well for 6, 7, 8 years? Where does it matter where he is picked? Where was Tom Brady drafted? What round was Richard Sherman picked? Wasn't Ben down in the teens somewhere? John Stallworth was a 4th round draft pick. Stop the nitpicking over #15 or #19 or whatever.
This is the deepest WR class in many years. Unless Watkins falls (which he won't) the Steelers should wait until later…rd 2 to 4 will still produce solids picks. IMO Evans & Benjamin both have concerns that do not warrant a #15 overall pick. It sounds like Gilbert or Dennard appear to be the pick of choice. I'm still on the TE bandwagon …Amaro and Ebron are two TE's who are receiving weapons that rarely come along. To me either is still my preference. The rest of the TE's in this draft are more of the prototypical TE which are a dime a dozen. I want to give Ben a weapon that teams like the Saints and Patriots wreaked havoc with…jmo.
Then I guess by your theory, if you saw these 2013 stats by a receiver:
106 rec – 1352 yds – 7 TD's
That would warrant a #15 pick because they are superior to Benjamin.
Except these are the 2013 stats of TESlot Rec Jace Amaro.
Robinson's abundant body catching bothers me more than a little.
I agree. Take the TE designation off Ebron and list him as a WR. Faster and better hands than Benjamin. Just as good or better RZ threat as Benjamin. Then if Heath gets hurt or can't get open anymore, switch him back to TE. Position flexability just as important as the OL and DL, IMO. If Ebron and Benjamin are there at 15 and no better DEF option there and no trade back option, I'd take Ebron in a heartbeat.
Well Ben1 would love it, he had to find Cotchery this season because Heath was mending his knee. Ben2 and Heath in the end zone would be sensational.
The Steelers like many teams have been more inclined to drafting younger, underclassmen like Timmons because it gives them more time to develop them before showing their age.
I would rarely play Ebron or Amaro inline. If Heath gets injured I would use another TE to fill in for him. LB's and SS's are used to covering TE's inline, not too many are comfortable covering TE's in the slot.
If we are talking about taking a project at our 1.15 pick- might as well draft AaronDnald.
You make some good points. But consider this. Every year we make a big board saying who is "worth" the 1.15 pick, etc. Then three years later we go back and re-grade the draft and say (this guy) should've been graded higher. If we could go back we should've drafted (this guy) instead.
In other words, somebody's scouting was off. Somebody's assessment of whether or not a guy was "worth" the 1.15 pick was off. Usually because the scout looked at the guy's physical traits instead of his production.
I'm not guaranteeing Benjamin's production. I'm just saying if he makes plays on the field, I don't care how much of a complete package his skill set is. And I think he can make plays that no other receiver (except Mike Evans) can make.
If Jace had 15 TD's then absolutely yes.
He's a Tyler Hansbrough, no thanks.
I've liked him from day 1. He tweeted a pic of him wearing a Carolina Panthers skull cap. weird.
Great comment. I have made the same argument about Eric Ebron because people said he shouldn't be considerd at 15. I say look at Vernon Davis, Jimmy Graham or a healthy Rob Gronkowski. The production and matchup nightmares they produce warrant such a high pick. If they were redrafted today teams would be tripping over themselves to call to make a trade up to get them. If you believe a certain guy is "that guy" then he is worth it. Benjamin has one thing those 6ft guys don't have and can't be taught. Superior size and physical dominance. Benjamin as proven despite his downsides that he can make some crazy catches and with coaching and a certain guy named Ben Roethlisberger throwing him the ball his full potential can be unleashed.
If we played a 43 front and either Donald or Jernigan were on the board at 15, I'd be running to the draft table with my pick.
Thank you. I agree 100% with this statement. And I would have Ebron drop down to 240 pounds to be even faster.
His advantages cannot be denied. He isn't just tall, he's big and physical. I feel almost bad for the corners covering him, because there is NOTHING they can do to stop him. He jumps, high-points the ball, and catches with his HANDS. What can a smaller defender do?
Also, looking at a handful of these clips, you'd think it was Big Ben throwing the ball. Clips #1 (scramble, broken play); 3 (play action bomb); 5, 12, 14 (quick red zone fades); 7 (big throw with pocket collapsing); 8 (play action throw to the middle in the red zone); and 15 (throw while getting hit) all look like vintage Ben plays.
I'd rather go Gilbert/Dennard R1, Moncrief R2.
I'm much higher on Jordan Matthews than Moncrief.
I like Matthews. IMO, Moncrief has more upside.
Watching this guy (and imagining him wearing black and gold), you can almost hear the sobbing Ravens and Bengals fans as their team loses by a TD.
These guys are real tricky. This is like a young Plaxico situation for us. We take him high in the draft and he does well after his rookie contract he will be demanding big bucks. Out the door he goes.
I like the kid despite the drops. He's a baller and with the right coach, he could end up being really really good as long as we can live with a three year rental that requires some work.
Nope, CB is the way to go for us. We've done well at picking WRs late. This kid would be around for too long in the draft.
Most mocks that I have seen have Mathews going way before our round 2 pick. But I would love him in the second.
I like him warts and all … let me ask u, would u be happy at 1.15 or only want him if we traded back … I could live with the pic kay 15, but wouldnt be thrilled … would be really nice if we can trade back and still get him … cuz its like getting 2 quality players for the price of 1 … who wouldnt want that … especially in our situation !
Jace has almost twice as many rec's than Benjamin.
Also, most of Benjamin's TD's were against very weak competition.
and his lack of separation !!
Trade back
Moncreif is a slower version of Wallace IMO, albeit taller but I don't see a lot of upside in him. He's one of the "top" WR's I'd be disappointed taking.
would love Matthews in the second … not sure he lasts that long !
agreed !
he's hardly a complete package … but he's well worth it … and would provide about 10 tds and 800-900 yds … good enough for me !
If you listen closer you might also hear the Doah's! from the Steeler's fans after the Benjamin dropped passes and his inability to get open….just saying, these TD clips are nice, but watch the rest his game tape and you'll see why a #15 spot is not warranted here.
Not arguing an eye toward CB in the 1st, I don't believe Benjamin is worth the 15th overall pick regardless, I don't care about the notion of losing him in 4yrs, ANY WR drafted that is successful will want BIG money when the time comes for the 2nd contract. Ben only has 3, 4 maybe 5yrs left anyway so that doesn't bother me, we need the production now
I disagree w the first sentence. This is what teh NFL has become. The offenses are based on having mismatches and isolating those players. A redzone mismatch is a huge advantage. If your argument is that he should be a redzone player, and a complete player, ok, but don't discount players that are mismatches. To get a player that is a redzone threat and a complete player, you are looking at a top 7 pick (calvin, AJ, Julio…). There are others on their level, but there are plenty that fizzled as well.
I will even say that teh "complete player" has given way to the mismatch guys. For example Heath wouldn't be thourght of as a first round pick anymore, where the guys that are athletes (mismatches) are being looked at in the first roudn as TEs. Amaro and Ebron.
This is mostly true to the offense, but it's starting to show up on defense as well with Seattle taking people like the kid from WVU a couple years ago that was a mamoth DE that ran like a receiver…his name is slipping me.
With cotchery gone we are probably going to be drafting 2 WR. Thankfully neither of them will be named kelvin Benjamin. What good is a red zone threat who can't catch? I'd rather cooks or lee
Me too
Pass completely. He's very similar to mike Williams coming out of usc
Thank you. Someone is FINALLY making sense on this post. It's the equivalent of drafting nix in the first. He's a good nose, but we aren't in base enough to justify it with so many other needs. And also, the thing about a red zone threat is we actually have to get to the red zone to use him. We need a complete wr, not a novelty act
Yes, he's an impressive kid in some ways. BUT… We have AB. We have Wheaton, who was drafted in the 3rd and expected to go higher. This would complete a very significant investment in a 2nd/3rd string WR at the expense of another position getting the first round love. Possibly at the expense of a top CB. We don't have much at CB right now. Cortez Allen has not shown that he's still on the upswing, so by comparison AB>>Cortez. 2nd string: Wheaton > Ike (I think CB is deep, but there's definitely a tier 1 and tier not-1. I'd take either of the top CB 10 out of 10 times over Benjamin.
I agree. If they are determined to draft a big reciever at 15, then draft one who is actually good
Couldn't agree with you more … like the perspective of looking back .. a lot of people always say that guy is reach or he's not worth a 2nd or 3rd round pick (including me) but then going back a few years later we see the evaluation and scouting were off.
i completely agree about Benjamin's production and if he makes plays on the field i couldn't care less if he is the complete package … EXCELLENT points … if we want complete package i would go with Matthews or Adams over him … but i think what we are both looking at is the value he presents with his Mismatches especially in the RZ
Some people only look at stats which are fine, but what i REALLY want is the chess piece available that can make the play when the game is on the line against a top team … even if it is just a 10 yd TD … those are the things that makes teams Winners !
I think you have the RIGHT mindset about him !
You completely MISSED his point … he's not talking about receptions or ydg … thats not what Benj is about … he's about TDs and being able to score & WIN the game when it counts !
But i do like Amaro … would be a good pick if we traded down or if he lasted to the 2nd
I think most people agree that Ebron is well worth a pick at 15 !
Great Points … i think the same way … only thing is if we were pretty sure we could get him with a trade down or someone else we were really high on … i think its worth it to trade down because you get 2 quality players for the price of one … and that is something we could really use !
That is my preference to a TE Ebron at 15 or a trade down and get Amaro … would u take Amaro if they didnt trade down ?
no problem with that .. nice !
NFL network Path to the Draft show had a interesting stat about 240lb + receivers. There has been 2 in the history of the league and both are guys I never heard of. So Benjamin would be the only 240lb + receiver in league history to be successful. If he were to be successful.
That scares me off.
Way Higher on Matthews .. not high on Moncrief at all
This would be a nightmare scenario. A first rounder for a receiver that has questions about his hands. With all of the other needs on the roster, it's time to fall out of love.
Yes, I would take Amaro at 15, for the same reason we took Bell in the 2nd rd last year. Last year I had us taking Wheaton in 2 and Bell in 3. I had a tough time defending the Bell pick at 2. Many said we could have waited until 3 or traded down. But if a team is really high on a player you should never take a chance that another team might snag him. For me it's the same with Amaro. If the Steelers really like him, like I do, you don't take a chance. There are a few teams at the bottom of the board that probably wouldn't hestitate to move up a few spots to take him.
There are TONS of guys who can give you receptions. If you want just receptions or yards just draft a 3rd rounder like we've been doing for the last few years.
Wallace, Brown, Sanders, Wheaton, will all give you receptions. But the reason we lose games is because we don't score enough points. touchdowns, my friend. Benjamin scores touchdowns even when he's perfectly covered.
I'll try to dig up the Steelers red zone stats (over the last few years). You'll see that we're horrible.
Good point. A week or so ago the network also posted the 10 fasted (combine 40) WR's over the past few years. The only one who has been productive is Wallace…pretty sad, huh?
That's why most insiders state, the most important info on a player comes from watching game film. Then to a far lesser extent, the interview and physical. Further down the list is the Combine measureables. Then lastly, Pro Days, because they are completely scripted.
Benjamin looks and moves like a TE on tape. If you want someone tall AND big, take Ebron over Benjamin and split Ebron out.
You find me a WR or TE who can produce 106 rec's in only 13 games. 7 TD's in that period is still good and like I said, some of Benjamin's TD's were against Idaho, Bethune Wake Forest, etc….
I still feel that the big WR will have a tough time in the NFL with the popularity now of the big CB. Case in point, look how well Denver's big receivers D.Thomas, J.Thomas and Decker did against Seattle's big secondary….maybe the WR trend of the future will be the small, quick WR like Antonio Brown….that's why I like Lee and Cooks over Evans and Benjamin.
Thank you Rob. Did you know that 5 of the 10 teams to finish in the top 10 in red zone td's in 2013 didn't make the playoffs. The raiders finished 6th. The seahawks finished 14th and the steelers 16th.
not even close …
Just out of curiosity, what do you think the difference is?
Half of his TD's he was wide open but i will admit he had a few that his size was a huge factor in.
I really think he may go earlier because of what the combine had shown us. I do not believe he is worthy of that but we shall see.
Dave pointed out exactly what he is … and regardless if he becomes a great or even very good WR in the NFL he does well at what we need … RZ and Mismatches … Mike Williams was a higher draft pick with much more expectations as he was a more complete big WR that just so happened to be a BUST !
he didnt exactly have a great combine ?? u mean pro day ?
They are both slow, lumbering, and plodding… For the sake of argument, let's say that he will be a good red zone threat. wouldn't you rather take a complete player who is a defender, or even a more complete receiver? We need a lot of help. We can't be wasting picks on specialty players… As for Dave on Benjamin, he's confused. He says watch the tape, I did… It leaves a lot to be desired. Ebron is the same height, faster, and can actually catch the ball.
I guess i see what Dave sees in the tape … he is a play maker and a lot more explosive than u are giving him credit for …
As for the all around WR .. answer is NO .. with our current makeup of talent i would rather have his Specialty and give up the other attributes …
think of it this way … do u really want 3 all around WRs … with the same exact attributes .. prob not ( of course if they were all josh Gordon or Calvin johnson another story)… I would rather have a great all around WR, a speedster … a clutch possession WR and a big Target to create mismatches … now if we were starting from scratch i would agree with u … but yes i would rather have Ebron … he provides much of the same benefit while being a much better overall player … so can't argue that …
as far as the defensive side … i could go either way and agree … i would like an all around package at CB .. but dont see one this year .. Gilbert is a fine playmaker but doesnt have an all around game … but YES i would be fine with that pick … about the only DB in the first i would be happy with … Dennard lacks playmaking ability and still isn't a top tier solid all around CB …. decent yes but not at 15 !
Alright, you have a good point with variety in the receiving corp. We do need height and sped to complement Antonio brown. I'm just saying all things being equal, I prefer cook's speed or Marques Lee's smoothness and hands to Benjamin's height. Ask yourself this: if Benjamin wasn't 6'5″, would you even
Be interested in him? There are other better tall receivers out there to get. He's not worth a first. I personally like Bryant from Clemson.
I like Dennard, but I have to admit that I have some questions about him too. Still, Colbert has a pretty good track record in the first round. If the do take him at 15 I've got to believe he's something special.
Same can be said about a good cb like gilbert/dennard with the game on the line can they stop the offense from scoring or better yet make that forced fumble or pick six to win the game against the mannings/bradys/flaccos/breezes and wilsons in the nfl I feel like our offense was good enough to keep up with these guys in a scoring battle but our defense fail us time after time think about this our offense is better than seattles (SB champs) but their def is waaaayyyy better than ours which is why defenses win championships offense just sells tickets ask peyton
something like that.
Doesn't that go both ways though? How many players do we go back and say, man that 15th pick was a waste! Roy Williams, Mike Williams, even the Steelers' Limas Sweed were all regrettable picks.
The pipe dream and crazy scenario is trading back and picking up an extra 3rd and selecting Benjamin. and then packaging our 2nd and newly aquired 3rd to move back up into the first round and get Kyle fuller. and then we still have our comp pick in round 3. I know the trade value doesn't match up and it'd be hard to find trade partners. But I can't think of a better scenario
Would be a really amazing draft with those two picks, regardless of who's chosen in the later rounds. Don't know how much of a reality it is, but one can dream
Benjamin is easily the best Big WR on the board .. nobody is even close to the impact he can make … sorry and Evans isn't in his league as well … Matthews is a much better WR but wouldnt help in the RZ nearly as much … better overall production YES … but i guess its what u are looking for … i want a chess mismatch every time ! Sorry but Bryant is not even worth mentioning !
What's with this renewed vigor for Benjamin? He's not even worth discussing anymore. He looks to be falling to the second round
very doubtful he would fall to US in the 2nd … he is worth discussing as he would be a great pick if we traded back … but as it is now prob wouldnt pick him at 15 though …
Renewed vigor ??? dont think u have been paying attention quite as much … steelers, fans and talking heads have not lessened their interest in him one bit over the last several weeks … did u not here the good reviews from Ike, the photo of the dinner and his workout at the pro day .. not sure where ur thoughts are coming from !
Sorry, this comment is in utter disregard of what's right in front of you. Dave has done a nice job of putting all those GIFs together… but you don't seem to be seeing what they show. Not only are there some nice catches there… look at the routes! Stutterstep stop and go, Post/dig, out and up, out and slant, crossing routes, back shoulder fade. Extreme wins at the catch point, including in the biggest moment of the college season and the young man's career. If that isn't demonstration of elite WR ability for a college player, I don't know what is. Slow and lumbering is absurd, sorry… he runs away from several guys who will be NFL players, especially those cats from Florida. Choose to ignore the tape at your own peril. He'll go before 1.18, so how is 1.15 too soon?
Sigh… Benjamin is going late 1/early 2nd because he isn't a complete receiver. Watch his games, not ehat Dave has posted on the site. He's a little Too Benjamin-happy for my liking. The lumbering comment was made in reference to his combine workout. He was uncoordinated and slow compared to Evans. My point is ask yourself if you'd want him if he wasn't 6'5″. I certainly wouldn't, but I don't want him now.., Eric Ebron provides much more and is actually worth 1.15
If Benjamin were perfect, he'd be a top 10 pick.
agreed … I would be happy with the pick … but much more if they traded back and grabbed him !
I think there's a big gap from Evans/Benjamin big WRs down to the later big WRs. And, I could make the exact argument you're using vis a vis CBs. Can't justify taking a CB at 1.15 when the abundance of excellent CBs extends all the way through round 7. There are probably 30 in this draft who aren't much of a drop off from Gilbert/Dennard, and some of them are better fits or have more upside. Also, I can totally justify taking Benjamin at 15, knowing that Baltimore would take him at 1.17 if I don't.
He had his biggest two games, one in terms of yards/TDs and the other in terms of catching the championship… both against SEC teams and both vs future NFL CBs. His next best game probably vs Duke, the second best team in the ACC, vs yet another future NFL CB. So much mythology about these players. Let us watch the tape.
annnd which of Seatlle's CBs were drafted in the 1st? They won the Super Bowl last year with a 4th rounder, two 5ths, a 6th, and a UDFA. This draft crazy deep in CBs, Steelers haven't drafted one in 1st since 1997.
Want to provide some examples of Benjamin not being able to get open? Or, would you rather show Ebron's route running– maybe Evans' last couple of college games? Maybe you'd like to show all the tackles and hits Gilbert made? Nobody is without flaws but let's not invent criticisms because we don't like the player, me included.
It's funny you guys are on Lee, who demonstrated worse hands in 2013 than Benjamin… and you can say with a straight face that KB can't catch after watching the display of GIFs above. Cooks or ODB or Herron would be fabulous receivers but don't add as much to this offense as a whole.
There's absolutely no comparison on tape between Ebron and Benjamin. Ebron is lumbering and body position vs LBs/S, Benjamin is running with/by CBs… I could care less about combine… look at the clips above. KB gets downfield swiftly and cuts without slowing. On tape, Ebron is much slower player than KB or Evans.
It's a fair point. Lee is DND to me (hands, routes, health) but I would rather have Cooks/ODB/Herron than Robinson/Matthews/Moncrief.

It was fascinating to see Tafawa Balewa drive himself to our house in those days —Desmond Majekodunmi, son of defunct Western Region's ex-Administrator
Desmond Majekodunmi, son of the former Administrator of the defunct Western Region during the emergency period, Dr. Moses Majekodunmi, is an environmental activist and the President of Legacy Foundation, a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) that works to rescue some of the old landmark structures built years ago. In this interview with Okorie Uguru, he speaks about his life and activities as an environmental activist and the efforts to save the environment and other issues.
Nigerians know you for many things. You are currently involved in conservation, what is it all about?
Primarily I am involved in two types of conservation efforts, one of them is conserving the natural resources of our environment, that is the eco-system. I've been involved in that for a long time, in the last 25 years plus. Ever since I joined the Nigerian Conservation Foundation (NCF), I have been very passionate about that, preserving and protecting nature, conserving nature. Also there is another aspect, which is helping to conserve our historical artifacts, particularly our buildings, our historical buildings because this is our history, our personality.
In Lagos we have quite a lot of these historic buildings built by colonial interveners. Some of them are over 200 years old, some just 100 years old, but any building that is over 100 years old is part of our history, whether we like it or not it is part of our history. I am president of a group called Legacy 1995, a historical and environmental restoration group and that is what we do.
You used to be in the public for entertainment music and so on. Many now know you as a conservation activist. Let us talk about your evolution over the years. How did you get into conservation and why so many things packed into one person?
It is an interesting question. You know one gets involved in so many things at different times. I've always loved music and I was a musician. When I was in school, I had a school band, I kept it even when I went for higher education. I kept up the music at an amateur level. Then I went deeper into it from the production side and I actually trained to become what they called an electro-acoustic engineer, that is somebody involved in sound and recording. It was a good way of having higher academic status but embedded in music because I come from a fairly illustrious family that prides itself in having icons academic achievements.
So, it was a way of merging the two, that having academic accomplishment but still keeping close to what was my great love, music. I then started production in the United Kingdom with some top groups including The Rolling Stones and when I got back here, I started working for Polygram which was a subsidiary of Philips. I produced stuff with Victor Uwaifo, revived his career, turned him into reggae and it was very nice. We did a reggae version of Joromi and so on. I worked with Fela on Suffering and Smiling. I actually co-produced Suffering and Smiling; I say that reservedly because to produce Fela is not really…How do you handle fire?
Under which label?
I think it would have been Polygram, you know Fela was in several labels, I think it was plygram. He might just have been using the studio independently, I really can't recall. Fela has very special arrangements on his releases and that was a very interesting association. One sort of continued that way with other groups, so it went on for some time. I finally left Polygram, got married to a fantastic singer, Sheila who is late now. She was a great singer.
I got a job in Kenya with Colombia Broadcasting Services (CBS). I was there for three years, I was training local engineers and also producing for the Kenya musicians as well. I set up a multi-track studio there and it was a very interesting experience. It was in Kenya that I got bitten by the 'green bug', the beginning of the conservation was actually agriculture. The Kenyans were very good in farming. Till today, the main stay of their economy is from the land, either through eco-tourism or from agriculture and I was so impressed by the way these Kenyans were just making good money from their land, including their president.
Every weekend, the president will go to his shamba, which really what they call their farm in Swahili and on weekends Nairobi will be half empty because everybody has gone to their shamba. When they come back, they do so with food. Kenyans would hardly spend money on food. They grow their own food and they are healthy people. I said so, it is like this? Meanwhile Nigerian children hardly knew how milk is produced. They would just say it comes from tins. I said okay, when I go back to Nigeria, let me do something more positive, I 'm going to spearhead this back to the land culture. I said I was going to become a farmer and when I got back, everybody was like eh? You want to become a farmer, aje bota like you?
I was so excited until I eventually got the land in Lekki and entered the place and when I saw the first snake, I was like eh! A big giant snake came out of the tree. I couldn't run, I was so afraid. Thank God the snake was more afraid of me than I was of it. That was a bit of baptism by fire. I did an informal course at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) where I really learnt from the real expert scientists who studied farming. It was a wonderful experience and I was able to translate that experience to our farm. As a result of that, we did what they call conservation farming. IITA had warned us not to go and just clear whole bush with bulldozers and so on, that we should do it gently using a process called zero tillage and leaving some of the original forest that was there.
And it worked?
We set up an oil palm plantation which is there till today, but that was what attracted people from the NCF. They saw these lovely trees and they came. One Philip Hall, one of the founding pioneers of the foundation, came with some people to watch birds. I met these people. They were so interested in the environment and nature, birds and so on. They spoke to me about it, showed me some pictures and also started to become interested. They showed that the environment is what supports our lives, if you have a clean good environment, you have a clean good life. This was way back, over 25 years ago. So, at that time my wife was with me and we said let's translate that into our music, she being a 100 per cent Musician, Sheila was her name. when she sang with Fela once at Fran and Tunde Kuboye Jazz 38, she and Fela were on stage together, Fela actually bowed to her and for Fela, an accomplished genius musician, to bow to a woman, shows you the level. She was a brilliant musician. So, we made an album called Green Leaves which was all about the environment:
When you wake up in the morning and you breathe
Give thanks to mother-nature for those trees
And all those green, green leaves
So you and I can breathe …
By the way, Sheila was the singer, I was the rapper. She did not allow me to sing with my voice. Yea, we presented that to His Royal Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh, when he came to Nigeria and he was very happy to receive it. He was affiliated to the NCF.
So, as one started learning more for the conservation issues, it started becoming serious, one got more and more involved until I got to this stage where I am totally sold out to preserving the environment. On a regular basis they asked me to give lectures. I am all over the place to schools, to government and so on, I released a documentary called: 'Global Warming, Nigeria Under Attack'. It has been shown on many network stations. So, as one started to appreciate the importance of preserving the environment, and the fact that globally as human beings we are now reaching what they call the tipping point stage, whereby if we push the various structures of the environment too far, we may not be able to bring them back.
So, we could end up pushing the earth's life support system over the edge, which will mean that our children when they grew up into their 30s, 40s, 60s would find it very difficult to even survive on this planet. I know you love your children, I love my children. The last thing I want to do is leave a legacy of a cup of poison for them, that will be so evil, so tragic that the legacy that this generation leaves for our children is a calabash full of poison. One gets very passionate about this issue because one loves one's children.
The way you were passionate about environmental conservation, so were you about music to the level of forming the DTD Show in the late eighties and early 90s…?
Well, the DTD Show just happened by accident. Again it was because of the environment. Again when I was looking for the farmland at Lekki, by then the Lagos-Epe expressway was an unfinished road. I found a lovely beach which had been christened Lekki Beach. It was used by the German construction workers as a picnic camp and I took friends and media there and the place started becoming very popular. I called Dapo Adelegan, he had this wonderful idea of doing Lekki Sunspalsh and so we teamed together with some other people spearheaded by Dapo who I called whiz-kid, though he has grey hair but I still call him the whiz-kid because he is a very innovative guy. We did the Lekki Sunsplash and all the top musicians of that era performed there.
It was a catalyst that led to the blossoming of a whole new generation of musicians…It was and it started this whole big music event concerts. Sheila and I also performed in Lekki where we carried the local rice grown in Nigeria to sensitise the crowd about agriculture and the need to protect the environment. But then after a while we noticed that the beach was getting destroyed by people who were digging sand from the beach front. So, I approached the government at that time and said this your beach is going to get scattered, these guys are digging, hundreds of tipper loads of sand are being carted away. So, they gave me the concession of managing the place, but there were a lot of challenges, violence was breaking out there, Maroko had been broken and a lot of miscreants started coming, attacking people there. A lot challenges and lekki was losing its crowd.
So we needed to think of how to bring the crowd back, that was how the DTD television show came up. But we used it for politics too. The Financial Times wrote about us, we do this democratic dance competition. We told the people you are the ones who voted by show of hands that this one should win because he performed well, likewise when you go and vote don't sell your vote and so on. DTD Show was very popular and it ran for a long time.
A lot of people would wonder that here is Desmond Majekodunmi, a scion from a distinguished home, with a foreign mother, and ajebota to the core and despite that there was no disconnect between you and the common man on the street, how did it come about?
Maybe it is the way I was brought up. My dad told us that his father had multiple wives but in the morning he would call everybody together, children, servants and so on, to come and pray. He sort of thought that there should be no discrimination between you and somebody who is less-privileged. I think it was probably from the upbringing of my dad and mum. Some of my best friends were from Falomo which used to be a village. Those village kids would come into the house, later they went to Maroko and I used to go there and see them in Maroko when Maroko was a shanty town and I think I just thank God to have this little bit of humility.
I don't think any human being has any right towards arrogance and pride comes before a fall anyway. It is very important to come closer to my God who I call Jehovah, Yahweh every day. I think if you are carrying pride and pretences, I think that will be a barrier between you and your God because when you look at the prime example of God on earth, Jesus Christ, this is the King of Kings working on the earth, He didn't have any discrimination. He set Himself up as an example. So, in whatever little way one tries to emulate such examples.
Do you ever feel privileged?
Everyday, when I just take a breathe of air into my lungs, I feel privileged; everyday when I have a roof over my head, I feel privileged, or drive in the car, in the area that I live, I feel privileged and so unworthy.
By virtue of birth?
By virtue of birth, by virtue of every blessing God has given me; the grace of God upon me…you know privileged is the right word. I feel blessed, but unwarranted blessing. I don't feel that I am worthy of these blessings, that is why I just humble myself to my God and thank Him. I ask him to give the mind to be a blessing to others than keep the blessing to myself, because I don't really need that much to survive. I'm pretty happy with myself as it is. Yea, I feel blessed but I pray to me more of a blessing to other people.
How did it feel like growing up knowing that your father then was one of the most powerful persons in Nigeria-a minister, very close to the sitting prime minister (Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa)?
I think that there were possibly times when I was a little boy it went into my head but my dad was able to knock it out of my head very quickly and I think it was because of his tutelage that I didn't develop airs and graces. Between him and my mum, they let me know that 'you have no right to be proud,' that life is too frail for pride. One did appreciate as one grew older that it was a fairly privileged position. I had access to the prime minister who used to come round to the house. He was a friend of the family. My dad was not a politician, he was just somebody that the prime minister had trust in.
But he was a minister?
Yea, in the system they ran at that time, they were able to bring in non-politicians.
He came as a specialist?
Yea, the prime minister felt he was among those he could trust. One was able to associate with heads of states at a very young age including people like the late Gen. Murtala Mohammed, Gen. Obasanjo and so on.
From that period, what particular experience would you consider the most memorable?
Seeing the prime minister driving his own car into our father's house.
He drove his own car to your house?
Balewa! He was a very humble man.
With his entourage?
No entourage at all, it was with one ADC and the ADC would sitting next to him, because it was a nice Rolls Royce. It was normally in the evening. I think he just liked the idea of driving the car and that was a very strong memory-the prime minister driving his own car, and you would hardly know that it was the prime minister. He would come to the house and we would all play scrabble together, I would sit on his knees.
Compare that era with what you saw then and what is happening within the political circle, how would you describe it?
Tragedy upon tragedy trying to turn to disaster. The calibre of leaders at that time, the type of personalities of those days…these were highly intellectual people and the majority of them had a deep passion for this newly born nation, Nigeria. A lot of these guys had gone to foreign universities and came back with first class degrees, using English as a second language, that shows you the level of intellectual capability of those guys. They adopted the Westminster system of government which till today shows that it is a decent system and difficult to get corrupt in, you see what is happening in the British parliament now.
The military intervention was such a disservice to this great nation, it was such a terrible disservice. Definitely we had problems, the western region was boiling, there were issues. My own dad was deeply involved as the Administrator of the Western Region at that time, we had problems but none of those problems would have been in any way insurmountable in a democratic system. Are we much different from India which was more aggressively colonised by the British, which had more diversities of religions and had similar diversity of tribes, similar kinds of condition in terms of geographic terrain?
India had a lot of issues but the democratic system prevailed each and every time. They had changes of government, changes of parties from one party to the other party and now India is what I would call a first world country. India manufactures jet planes from the beginning to the end, every thing is developed in India, not to mention cars and so on. They were fortunate not to have had this aberration of military intervention. This was the most evil disservice that this country could possibly have had and its bitterness would take decades for this country to overcome and we are still trying to overcome at this stage.
It is only by the grace of the Almighty God who has an incredible plan for this place called Nigeria. When you look at the resource base of this country, you can very boldly say that Nigeria is the wealthiest country on this planet in terms of the untapped wealth and potentials. God has blessed this country with an incredible abundance and it is almost like a demonic intervention for this young characters to come out who murdered a great man like Balewa in cold blood. Who gave that power to go and take away the life of somebody who if you live for a thousand years you could never be half as great as him, not to mention the Sardauna, another great man, it was almost like a demonic attack on the destiny of this great country and because it is God's great country, it will not fall apart, Nigeria will not be destroyed. Nigeria is going to confound the wise. My scripture tells me God will use the foolish to confound the wisdom of the wise. I believe that is what He is going to do with this great and wonderful country called Nigeria.

Not one of them ever dared to cross his path . . . until the terrible night when two little mice went dancing in the moonlight. . . .

Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars: Behind the Lyrics
If you've ever heard this popular pop song, it's because you own a radio… or you have a girlfriend currently asking you why you don't appreciate her like Bruno Mars would because he's sensitive in a subtle and beautiful way, but really you don't care. You hate Bruno Mars. First for describing the unlikely scene of Oprah and the Queen on Fortune Magazine, you know, a woman who made her wealth and a woman born into it. You fucking hate Bruno Mars because you want to be him. You want to be popular and you're not.
When you spy on a woman, it's considered stalking. When Bruno Mars does it, it's true love. When you watch every move of a girl on facebook, it's creepy. When Bruno Mars does it, no wait, he doesn't because he doesn't need a facebook to meet girls. They meet him.
"Oh her eyes, her eyes"
Repetition or Redundancy?
"Make the stars look like they're not shining"
So he's trying to say her eyes are brighter than the stars, or that when he looks into her eyes the stars cease to shine and all that is good disappears.
"Her hair, her hair"
"Falls perfectly without her trying"
Good thing he's not singing directly to her, or maybe she'd actually stop trying to look good.
"She's so beautiful"
Aww that's nice, telling the world about his love.
"And I tell her every day"
That's sweet, she must have short term memory loss or he's trying to tell her not to change a thing, oh! That's like the title of the song!
"Yeah I know, I know when I compliment her she won't believe me"
Ye of little faith. I guess she has low self-esteem or he's making an ass out of u and me.
"And it's so, it's so sad to think that she don't see what I see"
Deal with it, we all see ourselves differently than the rest of the world. So yeah, I guess she must be anorexic or something, or maybe that's just the tone I'm getting.
"But every time she asks me do I look okay"
So she doesn't have faith in her beauty but she has, on multiple occasions, asked you of your opinion. Clearly she doesn't value your opinion Bruno.
"I say, when I see your face"
Oh so he is singing to directly to her… and he only realizes certain things when he sees her face, so he must be staring directly at her at this moment.
"There's not a thing that I would change"
Well he likes her just as she is at that moment, but Bruno, people age, so you will have to change something about her appearance in order to combat said aging.
"'Cause you're amazing just the way you are"
A second from now she won't be just the way she is at this moment.
"And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while"
No they don't, don't be an enabler Bruno.
"'Cause girl you're amazing just the way you are"
You said that already, but oh yeah, she won't believe you or anything you say. So basically this song is just an act of futility.
"Her lips, her lips"
Need injections.
"I could kiss them all day if she'd let me"
Literally I'm guessing, which makes sense why she wouldn't let you, but if you don't mean literally then maybe you're once again referring to her low self-esteem or possible germophobia.
"Her laugh, her laugh she hates but I think it's so sexy"
It doesn't surprise me that there's another trait she hates of herself, but what does surprise me is that you find her laugh sexy. I mean, based on your description of this girl, she seems to laugh hardly at all if ever. So I'm guessing you only find her laugh sexy because it's so rare, something so beautiful and fleeting that it must be cherished. But that's not the way she is. So BAM, there's something you'd change.
"She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day"
ENABLER, if she's like me (and I'm sure she is because I too hate myself) then she's getting tired of you lying to her face every day.
"Oh you know, you know, you know"
"I'd never ask you to change"
I think we got that point already.
"If perfect's what your searching for"
Clearly it is.
"Then just stay the same"
But you see Bruno, perfect in her eyes and perfect in your eyes just aren't the same. If your ideas of perfect were comic book characters, hers would be the Hulk and yours would be Lois Lane.
"So don't even bother asking if you look okay"
But you insist on telling her anyways. You just prefer not to be prompted by her nagging, apparently something else you would change. You liar.
"You know I say"
Yes I know, and you know that she knows so stop telling her, she won't believe you.
"When I see your face"
Maybe he forgets what her face looks like when he's not around her… huh…
"There's not a thing that I would change"
He's trying to beat the point over her head like the stubborn bible preaching old woman in a horror movie.
"Cause you're amazing"
Have you ever seen the sunrise over the Great Wall? Held your baby son in your arms? Or seen a gorilla teach a nun how to love again? Probably not because- sorry, "cause" that's fucking amazing.
"Just the way you are"
Bruno's speaking to every woman here, telling them to accept and enjoy who they are. He cannot live in LA, he'd hate it there.
"And when you smile"
… I'm gonna skip the rest of the lines that have already been sung, over and over again. If Bruno was ever in a mental institution he would be the guy who repeats the same line over and over again, "When I compliment her she won't believe me, when I compliment her she won't believe me." Then eventually it will just be, "she won't believe me, she won't believe me, she won't believe me," and his nurses will be like, "aww he's so self-aware… and so dreamy, you think he's singing about me?" Then a fight will ensue.
This song is an exercise in futility and Bruno Mars seems to be forgetting about the girls who do see themselves as beautiful.

Shop Catalog.
As an avid reader of Thought Catalog (they have the best articles!) I was thrilled when they asked me to guest curate for their new-ish shopping platform Shop Catalog last week. Every day, I wrote about one of my favorite, most cherished items (all things I own + wear regularly of course.) We also did this little photo shoot to capture the items in action, over in Brooklyn. I love how everything turned out!

I've been separated for many years (5+) and we are now finalizing everything, which has not brought out the best in x. I've totally lost any respect I've had for him and just disgusted by a lot of his actions over the past 6 months.
Anyhow - I wanted to keep the same last name as dd, but after the past 6 months I want no association with him so I'm seriously thinking of taking back my maiden name even though I don't want to deal with the hassle of changing all the documents. I also don't love my maiden name but I really don't want his.
Did you change yours back? Keep his? Get a new one (I'm thinking of taking my mother's maiden name also)?
Please share :)
i never liked my last name before i was married and i didn't like my married name, so this year i legally changed my name to my great grandmother's name, and i love it. it was a hugely empowering, emancipatory experience. also a lot of paperwork.
I've got 2 kids who are now 7 & 11, so I'll be keeping my married name for them. If I do remarry, I will probably change it to a new name then, if I like the new name well enough =)
Robin~ single, work-at-home momma to my Wonderboys
BigKid (6/00) & LittleBoy (6/04)
I'm changing my name back to my maiden name. I've been married twice and regretted changing it the first time. My mom talked me out of changing it back after the first divorce so then I had to change it the second time.
It's a HUGE pain to change it so I'm going back to my maiden name and keeping it!
Mama to three crazy kids and one crazier dog.
I went back to my maiden name and will keep it for the rest of my life.
Yes, my dd and I have different last names, and that kind of sucks, but I have my self back, and that's even more important.
I kept his last name. We married young and then were married for almost 12 years, so I'm really used to it by now, LOL. Plus no confusion about my and the little one's last name being different, and no irritating paperwork for me.
If I ever were to remarry, I would probably just go back to my maiden name.
Mama to DS (7)
I didn't want to change my name when we got married. He threw a fit so I changed it. When we divorced I changed it back. Yeah, I don't like having a different name than the kids. For him, changing my name back was a bigger sign that I was adamant about the end of the relationship than the divorce was. I struggled with the decision, but I am at peace with the one I made, and I know I would have regretted keeping his name for the sake of the kids. I didn't like his surname and I loved my maiden name.
One Mom, Three Kids. Life is Great.
I never changed my last name so my ds and I have always had different last names. People can't/couldn't understand it....I'm pretty sure I knew it wasn't death till you part. I asked for a divorce just after a year married together. We lived together for over 10, have a 5.5 year old son and have been together for 12 or 13? Strange I know.
So, I do know that it does sometimes stinks when DS and I don't have the same last name...but I've dealt with it the entire time and it only comes up certain times. I am getting a divorce so if people have a negative outlook because I have a different last name and am a single mother, well, it won't change the facts.

This means higher quality and better tasting ingredients, sourced locally as much as possible. We work with several farms in the area and Colorado based businesses to help support our local economy.
FCB beer is not the only libation we serve. We understand our guests have a variety of preferences and are pleased to offer a comprehensive wine list and full bar to accommodate a wide range of tastes. Whether it's a crisp Colorado Riesling, one of our infused vodka martinis, or a growler of beer to go, we have what your thirsty for. See more info on our main website: FortCollinsBrewery.com
FCB Modern Tavern aspires to be the magnet that pulls people together in celebration of local pride and sense of community. Stop in and enjoy a taste of Colorado!
