    '26 NFL Mock Drafts thread

    That's the best part of having it both ways, like when a securities analyst says of a company's prospects that he is "cautiously optimistic". If they don't execute, he is cautious; if they do, he is optimistic.

    I am in the midst of Mark Twain's hilarious "adventures" in Roughing It.

    Demond Wilson, the actor who played Lamont on Sanford and Son passes
