Wyatt Teller: Pancake artist

[MGMT]

One of the most encouraging things about Berry is that he’s fully willing to re-sign guys drafted by the previous regime. I’ll give him half credit for Garrett, as I believe he was in our organization for that draft (although not the GM, obviously), but he’s been fully willing to sign Hunt, Chubb, and Teller thus far.

It’s refreshing in a league where so many GMs want to bring in their own guys and jettison talent drafted or acquired by previous executives. We’ve seen that way too many times before in Cleveland.

Just goes to show you he’s truly without ego in making decisions. I sincerely commend someone that’s able to do that when they make such a profoundly lucrative salary and have every reason to be an arrogant dickhead.

To your point, while this is ubiquitous throigh out the NFL, we’ve experienced it directly countless times with literally every single regime change up until now. Berry honestly functions as a reminder as to just how awful all previous regimes were up until now — in so many different fucking ways.

Previous regime: he’s good and a oending FA; this is a chance for me to let him go and show that I can replace him with someone better and highlight my draft talent.

Berry: we have a good player here that’s pending an extension and they’d like to stay. K lets resign them and cross some shit off our list so we don’t have to self-inflict a challenge and we can allocate time and resources to other opportunities.

It’s kind of insane how simple it is.

I think there’s a little more to it than that. I don’t believe GMs usually “clean house” or get rid of guys because of ego related reasons, but I do think they are often a little closed minded in terms of team construction. They believe a roster must be constructed a certain way or be able to fit certain schemes, so anyone that doesn’t is a casualty.

Kind of helps that those guys are pretty excellent at what they do, are pretty hard for replace (no offense O'Ernest) and all signed for a little less than what the market could give them. If these guys were viewed as replaceable then the story would be different.

Slogan: “My pancakes are better than my husband’s.”

That would only be true though if they were Maine blueberry pancakes with local real maple syrup.

Real maple syrup sounds better than it is. Give me the warm corn syrup and artificial flavoring.

I assume this has been in the works for a while, but it's a bit suspicious that it comes right after we add 3mil in rollover cap via freeing OBJ.

What's suspicious about it? We now have more money to spend, and we are using it to reward players that are loyal and actually productive.

When I was in Virginia, I came upon a beauteous maple that had a syrup tap in it. I removed the tap and began suckling directly from the tree to sample some of its fresh syrup. It was some of the most glorious tasting evidence of mother nature’s bounty on God’s green earth.

Took me 6 months to siphon off the equivalent of a small stack of pancake’s worth and I ultimately discovered that I was on private property and was arrested with the tap still in my mouth.

It was worth every drop. But if anyone knows of a pancake attorney in rural Virginia, I’m interested.

Not suspicious with a negative connotation. Suspicious in that the reason why these extensions came on an otherwise random week was because OBJs money got freed up.

This is crazy talk. Ban this man.

Calling B. S. on this. Everything sounded believable except you made errors. Maple trees don't even make syrup they make sap which is used to make syrup and the sap is collected in the winter.

You’re a sap.

Template thinking. In the 70s you had to have a pocket passer with a strong arm. Then the Niners get Montana and Bill Walsh designs an offense to take advantage of his strengths and avoid going past his limits re: arm strength.

I would normally put more importance on OTs and Cs rather than Gs BUT if you have two studs like Teller and Bitonio and the likes of Chubb, Hunt and Deeznutz running roughshod over defenses then pay the men.

"Pancake Artist", that's the perfect name for the restaurant.
