Sermon

Well, it happened. I promised myself I’d gladly take Smith, Waddle or by miracle, Pitts, at the middle of the 1st round and walk away with BPA a happy man. Now, I have the dark forces of a running back taken with good(ish) draft capital by a great offensive organization with juicy film traits and measurables pulling me in.

I’m not going to lie, I really like what I saw on film by Sermon at two powerhouse Big 5 programs. Add in a 10 yard, three cone, vertical and broad jump all rated above the 80th percentile that now I can only summarize my current feelings one way: Mr. Sermon, you had my curiosity. But now you have my attention.

I’m taking him at 1.07 in 1QB, who’s with me? Better yet, who’s here to tell me I’m a fucking moron??

Let the hype begin 🚂🚂🚂

Trey Sermon to the 49ers. The upside is just insane, like RB1 insane. But the committee is an issue early on.

What is the highest he goes? Highest you would take him at?

Edit - I wanted to elaborate on what I meant here. He is going into a committee for sure with Mostert, Wilson, and Gallman. However, Mostert is 29, and you cannot tell me the other two are not just JAGs. I think that if Sermon plays well this year, he could be in line for a very productive career down the line, especially in the system that they have in SF. The upside of this situation is worthy of a high pick. But he is a late 3rd in practice going into a multi-back committee. So I would assume its gonna be polarizing on here with Sermon. He is either the next Antonio Gibson or the next Keshawn Vaughn (both 3rds last season).

Signed at the moment:

Raheem Mostert

Jeff Wilson Jr

Wayne Gallman Jr.

JaMycal Hasty

Trey Sermon

Austin Walter

Anyone feel confident in how to separate these guys? Maybe can throw Bateman in there too?

I know we're in the market for an RB, but I think it would be a 2nd / 3rd round pick (unless we trade down).

Etienne and Harris will be long gone by round three, maybe even round two, but what do you guys think of Trey Sermon as a value pick at RB? I don't think he's got a high-end gear but he's big and durable and fast enough. I think he'd be a nice pickup.

Did you know that the Daedra are not the only gender fluid entities in TES lore? It's true. I personally watched the Dwemer do it on multiple occasions. Not only that, I can confirm it has a great deal to do with the Dwemer disappearance.

Picture this. It's 1E700-who-gives-a-fuck. Dumac Dwarf-King is having marital issues on account of his wife being a cumslut for superior Chimer dick. He seeks the counsel of his dear friend Kagrenac. Except 2 minutes into the therapy session, Kagrenac turns himself into Kagrenina and grows an immaculate pair of DWARF TIBBIES to smother the dwarf king with. It just so happens that Azura popped into Mundus to bestow her milk unto my people and fuck with the atheist elves. She walks in, looks at Dumac motorboating his fucking heart out, then looks at me (I was hiding under the lampshade) and said "oh that's fuckin legendary," and the next thing I know I'm getting stabbed by my homies while Kagrenina slaps a god heart while getting his tits licked and sends everyone to Azura's realms for an orgy

lf someone is determined to reach enlightenment, what is the most essential method he can practice?

 The most essential method, which includes all other methods, is beholding the mind.  

But how can one method incude all others?

The mind is the root from which all things grow. If you can understand the mind, everything else is included. It’s like the root of a tree. All a tree's fruit and flowers, branches and leaves depend on its root. If you nourish its root, a tree multiplies. If you cut its root, it dies. Those who understand the mind reach enlightenment with minimal effort. Those who don't understand the mind practice in vain. Everything good and bad comes from your own mind. To find something beyond the mind is impossible.

But how can beholding the mind be called understanding?

When a great bodhisattva delves deeply into perfect wisdom, he realizes that the four elements and five shades are devoid of a personal self. And he realizes that the activity of his mind has two aspects: pure and impure. By their very nature, these two mental states are always present. They alternate as cause or effect depending on conditions, the pure mind delighting in good deeds, the impure mind thinking of evil. Those who aren't affected by impurity are sages. They transcend suffering and experience the bliss of nirvana. All others, trapped by the impure mind and entangled by their own karma, are mortals. They drift through the three realms and suffer countless aflictions, and all because their impure mind obscures their real self.

The Sutra of Ten Stages says, “In the body of mortals is the indestructible buddha-nature. Like the sun, its light fills endless space. But once veiled by the dark clouds of the five shades, it's like a light inside a jar, hidden from view." And the Nirvana Sutra says, "All mortals have the buddha-nature. But it's covered by darkness from which they can't escape. Our buddha-nature is awareness: to be aware and to make others aware. To realize awareness is liberation." Everything good has awareness for its root. And from this root of awareness grow the tree of all virtues and the fruit of nirvana. Beholding the mind like this is understanding.

You say that our true buddha-nature and all virtues have awareness for their root. But what is the root of ignorance?

The ignorant mind, with its infinite affections, passions, and evils, is rooted in the three poisons: greed, anger, and delusion. These three poisoned sta

and He went like " The government can't knock at your house and check if you are wearing mask". He narrated how he peeked out of balcony and found people with masks below their noses. Then he had this monologue - Why is everyone blaming the government? The government has issued the guidelines and it is on us to follow them etc.

He is right but not all right. He is still defending the government despite having his family member infected from COVID due to electoral duties. If this terrible second wave could not shake the allegiance of few bhakts, then what will? This mindless loyalty is worrisome.

Watch his Georgia highlights... this man is fucking good and it’s crazy he’s not even considered a top 3. He was insane on the field at OSU running behind that great line and at OU he proved he could run through tight spaces.

Every game he’s played he looks like a man among boys

After a few days of draft results I can’t get a gauge on Trey Sermon. Some drafts he’s going at the 1-2 turn others he lasts to the third. Seems like mid-late second is probably the mean.

I’ve got the 11th and 21st. Starting to think I need to reach to be sure to get him. I also think he may start to get some hype from the experts in the new few weeks which bums me a bit.

You guys have any thoughts on this?

[This is the prompt, past this is all AI-generated.] You have discovered the thirty-eighth Sermon of Vivec, which was hidden in the words that came next to the Hortator.

'Here begins the thirty-eighth Sermon of Vivec, Sword-Saint of the Temple of Two-Moons Dance, Servant of the Overmerry Spirits and Confounder of the Corrupt.'

'Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out. If you are tired of hearing this, then you will find no more consolation in the words to come. The Poet is a liar and this is his greatest lie: that we all have an infinite number of tries. There are only three true tests in life: birth, which is death's own, the judgement at the end of life and the one at the end of time. And even the hero of legend-song cannot cheat death twice. If you are reading this, then I have failed all three. And yet, I have also passed.

For in this final moment, I can see that I have survived. So too have my enemies, great and small. Endure and survive, even if the multiverse itself does not. That is the secret that all men and women of spirit need to embrace. That even in the absence of ultimate meaning, we must create our own.'

'There are more verses to come, but the book is burning now. Be glad that I have abbreviated the number of pages to a mere handful. Let these last words be an example of my thoroughness. You may be wondering if you will be able to escape when your own time comes. To which I reply: why must there be an escape? Why can one not accept one's fate? I am Vivec, the Superiour, the lover of mystery and indecipherable code. And I say to you that there is no need for an escape, and the attempt itself is the only crime. Let us commit this act together, and find comfort in our shared fate.'

'Love is neither just nor rational, and we are not the sum of our thoughts. We are beings of love and fire, C0DA, and such is our nature. '

'You have come too far to fear death now. Besides, your work is not yet done. The world must still be set aflame.'

'And new words ring hollow for having been written in blood. My blood. Is this not the time of the unemployed magician, the shivering seer, the deluded prophet, the pillaging horde and the red-handed reaver? Is this not the time of the unworthy? Speak well of those with no merit, for one day it may be you. Above all: do not trust those who are worthy. Do not trust the man of words, for his lies have been proven. Do not trust the man of violence, for his brutality stands as a warning. Trust only in
