If Jeanty, T-McMillan and Will Johnson are on the board at #9, who are you taking? (29 Viewers)

Yup , I think he's kind of Pas Tout La and for sure Tete Dur

I know some people need to know when it’s time to let it go, chill and maybe go hunt some dos gris

 

[Dean in L.A.]

This year we can still get a stud RB in round 3 I’d focus on corner or WR in round one. Will Johnson reminds me of Samuel L Jackson in Unbreakable so by process of elimination I’d go with Tet

 

[Bayouboy]

See here's where you messed up. You are NOT from here and know nothing about the city because NO ONE that's from here EVER and I mean EVER says Nawlins. It's a stupid mispronunciation of New Orleans started by a ignorant news person

Frank Davis disagrees.

 

[Bayou_City]

It only exists as a fantasy.

If it's exists as fantasy...it still exists

 

[St. Geezy]

Frank Davis disagrees.

Did you read his last sentence? Frank Davis is about the only person I have ever heard say that. It was just a silly news segment branding, but now everyone thinks we say New Orleans that way, but virtually no one actually from N.O. does.

It’s cringe anytime I hear an out of towner say it, trying to sound cool or like they’re in the know. I even heard it said on a movie once with one of those exaggerated Southern accents they like to depict us with in film that has the whole country thinking we speak like a bunch of backwoods country hicks.

“You don’t sound like you’re from New Orleans.” Umm, sir, WTH are you talking about??? lol

Has anyone brought up Steve Smith's comments on Tet? In a nutshell he's basically saying people are overrating him to some degree and that he'll run a limited route tree.

Hopefully somebody's 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round picks.

I'm not from NO, and never visited. But I have seen and heard NO pronounced "Nawlins"....never new that was an outsider pronunciation, and always thought it sounded stupid, so I'm happy NOT to pronounce it that way.

So I'm wondering what IS the correct way to pronounce NO? According to the locals! Spelled phonetically, with caps for syllabic emphasis, I have heard "new ORlins", "new orLEENS", and "new orleANS". Which is correct? If none of those, please provide the correct pronunciation. I'll say it that way, and dutifully correct anyone who says it wrong north of the Mason Dixon in south-central PA. May not have a huge impact, but ya gotta start somewhere right?

I don’t know if “correct” is the right word to use, but virtually everyone I know, relatives, friends, co-workers, say “New Orlinz.”

I will add though that it is weird that we say New Orlinz is in Orleenz Parish.

EDIT: Some people don’t like pronouncing their Rs, so they may say “New Awlins.” But never have I heard that shortened to “Nawlins” by anyone local.

Can't count on Olave. Think of him more as a talented bonus on offense. The guy shouldn't take anymore hits.

Ignorant news person is not how I would describe Frank Davis. Kick rocks.

Yeah that was harsh. I would not have used that to describe him, a WWL legend; I just was pointing out that the quoted poster had acknowledged your point.

I think it's a kind description of Frank Davis since he wasn't even really a "news person".

I don’t think you can count on any player on the offensive side of the ball including my guy Alvin
That’s why I say jeanty because you can build a efficient ground game quicker than a strong passing game
