#Brantly Peterson

[missyhissysims]

So just to add to the teenage angst, I added the Peterson family to the save. Neal and Brantly are twins and have both joined Copperdale Senior School together.

So far, in spite of their very different personalities, they seem to get on well.

Dear Bruce,

Well, I’ve had quite an exciting day. I went into labor and mamma took me to the hospital to have the baby.

It was triplets!

Can you believe it?

From our list of names for girls I’ve picked Lois, Lillian, and Lynne. Your daughters! I’ll send pictures of them along with this letter. 

Love,

Betsy

(Note: the lot where Bruce and Betsy tried for a baby did have the On Ley Line trait so...I brought this on myself🥴)

(Another note: Bruce’s reaction inspired by this picture of a man passing out after meeting his triplets, prior to the invention of ultrasounds)

Mock Draft 2.0

The NFL season is almost over as sad as that is it makes me super happy that the draft is slowly approaching. I feel while doing this mock the hardest part comes in the final 12 picks. Free agency will definitely help clear up some questions that are up in the air as to what will teams draft in the first round. 1. Browns: Myles Garrett - DE Texas A&M -Browns need help all over. Garrett is the highest rated player in the draft. They have also expressed interest in trading with the Patriots for there backup QB Jimmy Garoppolo. Meaning they probably have no interest in taking a QB at 1. 2. 49er's: DeShone Kizer - QB Notre Dame -Niners have a new GM and Head coach. Meaning they are going to want to bring in their own quarterback. As to which quarterback will go number one? That question still remains right now. I have Kizer at 1 but Trubisky is still in the mix. 3. Bears: Jonathan Allen - DE/DT Alabama - the Bears are another team that could use a quarterback but rumors have they could trade for Romo or bring in another vet. Allen could be argued as the best prospect in this draft with Garrett. He would make that bears D-line stacked. 4. Jags: Soloman Thomas - DE Stanford - Solomon was argued as a top-10 prospect but after his bowl game where he looked unblockable his stock has rose even more. There is no offensive tackle here the Jacksonville Jaguars could take. They could also use help getting pressure on the quarterback and Thomas could be that guy. 5. Titans: Jamal Adams - S LSU - The top Safety is still between Adams and Hooker. Titans have a big need in there secondary and Adams could be a huge addition to boosting that defense on a young and upcoming team. 6. Jets: Leonard Fournette - RB LSU - though I feel this is a smoke screen by the Jets they have claimed Hackenberg has made tremendous strides as a quarterback. If this is true what they are saying and have recently shot down the idea that they like trubisky they could go with what is considered the best prospect on the board and would feel huge need at running back with fournette who is being compared to the likes of an Adrian Peterson. 7. Chargers: Malik Hooker - S Ohio State - we really just found out hooker is Out 3 to 5 months due to multiple surgeries but is in no danger of missing time as rookie on the field but will not be able to test at the combine or pro day. Hooker could definitely drop because of this but his play on tape has shown he is a ball Hawk and a playmaker and has been compared to Ed Reed. He could still warrent a top 10 pick and the chargers could use a safety since they haven't replaced Weedle. 8. Panthers: Marlon Humphrey - CB Alabama - Panthers still could use a corner to replace the hole left by Josh Norman. Humphrey could be that guy to replace the void in this deep corner class. 9. Bengals: Derek Bennett -DE Tennessee - Between this and the Saints pick at 11, I can easily see the 2 prospects flipped. Both fill nees and are highly rated prospects. Michael Johnson struggled for them at DE and need better talent to pressure the QBs in the physical AFC North. 10. Bills: Mitch Trubisky - QB. North Carolina - Bills need a QB and its obvious. There is talk they could go after Romo but that's a short term bandaid over there pressing need of a franchise QB. Trubisky has a lot to like about him and could be an easy option for the Bills at 10. 11. Saints: Reuben Foster - ILB Alabama -Saint's need help on Defense and Foster is consider a top 10 prospects. Like I said I could see foster gone at 9 as well. Foster is the best linebacker in the draft and something the saints could use. 12. Browns: Marshon Lattimore -CB Ohio State - Browns could go QB here, with Watson on the board. (Though I don't believe he goes or should go till at least 2nd round). Browns have a huge need everywhere and that includes corner. They have drafted corner early and it keeps failing but why not try again? 13. Cardinals: Mike Williams - WR. Clemson -Larry Fitzgerald has said hes coming back for 2017, but he is aging and the others behind him are not as elite as the likes of Williams. Williams is a talent being compared to Andre Johnson. He can pair up and learn from Fitz in his final year and become the teams new #1 threat. 14. Colts: Dalvin Cook - RB. Florida State - Colts need to address the O Line and keep luck healthy. They could take Cam Robinson here and it be smart but with Gore getting older and a chance to add a potential stud RB could make there mouth water. We have seen them pass on the logical choice of the Oline early for weapons. 15. Eagles: Quincy Wilson - CB. Florida - Eagles have a need at corner and Wilson was the best corner in college last year. Still raw he shows a lot of promise to be a stud. With Williams and both RBs gone, corner makes perfect scense and is a huge need. 16. Ravens: Cam Robinson: OT Alabama - Ozzie loves Bama product's and with Wagner becoming a Free Agent. Ravens will look to address the O Line in the first round, 2 years in a row. 17. Redskins: Julius Peppers -S/LB. Michigan - Washington has big needs at the inside on defense. DT, ILB and Safety. They have rumored to want to peruse Bennie Logan at DT this off-season. Peppers is a Saftey/linebacker hybrid and can fill in where ever Washington feels best for the team and fills a need. 18. Titans: Corey Davis - WR. Western Michigan - Titans have a few options at 18. They already grabbed there safety earlier in the draft and could follow that up with a corner here, but corner is deep this year and they can grab a talented one 2nd round. There other big need is a weapon Mariota. Davis is a stud at WR and could be that weapon at wide out they need. 19. Buccaneers: Chris Wormley - DE/DT Michigan - Bucs face some talented QBs in there division and need some help on the DLine next to McCoy. 20. Broncos: Ryan Ramcyzk -OT Wisconsin - Broncos have a huge need at Right Tackle and Ramcyzk is a hard nose football player and excellent tackle. Downside is he is having off-season hip surgery and might now participate at the combine and pro day, but is to talented to not go first round. 21. Lions: Caleb Brantley - DT Florida - Lions are still weak on there interior DLine and has been since they lost Suh and Fairly, Brantly could be the next guy to try to fill that void. 22. Dolphins: Zach Cunningham -LB Vanderbilt - This was a tough choice, dolphins have needs at LB and DE. Cunningham could easily go earlier in draft and I can't have him slip any further. Dolphins have a huge need at linebacker and Cunningham is athletic and could be a great piece for this team. 23. Giants: OJ Howard - TE. ALABAMA - giants have a lot of needs as well and if they do not resign JPP, this pick could change to a pass rusher. Howard has solidified himself as a 1st round talent. Giants don't have much of a great at TE and gives Eli another option on offense. 24. Raiders: Garrett Bolles -OT Utah - Raiders are a great young team and had a really good offensive line but had a weakness at right tackle. Bolles could fill that weakness and make that line even better. 25. Texans: Pat Mahomes -QB Texas A&M -Texans invested a lot of money into Oswiler this past off-season but it has not worked out well. Tom Savage showed some but is he really the anwser too? They could bring in a veteran or draft Mahomes. He has a rocket of an arm and is a fun QB to watch but needs to be developed from a spread offense to NFL offenses. He is being compared to a Derek Carr and everyone is looking for someone like Carr. 26. Seahawks: Taco Charlton - DE Michigan - Seahawks will never pass on another strong Pass rusher to rotate into that defense they love to run. 27. Chiefs: Charles Harris- DE/OLB Missouri - Chiefs have a great defense and great pass rushers but Dee Ford is in his last year of his contract and could demand more money than the chiefs are willing to spend. 28. Cowboys: Tim Williams -DE/OLB Alabama -Williams is tough to decided where he will be drafted with some off the field issues. Cowboys have taken character risk players before and it has helped and hurt them. They need a pass rush on that defense and if they do there homework and think Williams won't be a trouble maker. He has talent to be a force on Defense. 29. Packers: Andrees Jackson - CB. USC - packers secondary was depleted by injuries this year and were exposed multiple times. Jackson is a fun electrifying prospect as a return but is a natural cover corner on Defense. 30. Steelers: Takkarist McKinney - OLB. UCLA -Steelers need to find a new OLB. Jarvis Jones has been a bust and how much longer can we rely on James Harrison to keep playing at such a high level at his age. 31. Patriots: Jalen Tabor - CB. Florida - Logan Ryan is a FA this year and they probably won't sign him with them needing to sign butler soon. Tabor was once the top corner in the draft but has dropped some but still considered a 1st round talent and Belichick brings the most talent out of his players. 32. Falcons: Malik Mcdowells -DE/DT. Michigan's State. - Falcons have been an amazing team this year. There defense continues to improve but could look to improve at the DT position.

While his brother's off getting into trouble, Brantly's having his first kiss with Morgan Fyres! They've hit it off well and have made their relationship official already.

Brantly doesn't mess around!

Dear Betsy,

A baby! I can’t believe it. Of course we’ll get married! We can find a nice place to live, and have a family together. 

I miss you every day. It’s strange to be in a different country, but having the other soldiers around keeps me from getting too homesick. Some of them are even from Simlifornia as well. Don’t worry, I’m being careful. Now I have even more reason to get home safely. 

I wish I was there to buy you a ring and get down on one knee, but as I’m not, I’ll ask here - Betsy Giordano, will you be my wife? 

Go out and find a ring you like. And start writing down names for our baby!

Love,

Bruce

Dear Betsy,

I can’t believe the baby is already big enough to kick! I hope I’m home before you deliver. One of the other soldiers, Dave, has little ones back home and he says it’s the best thing in the world to be a dad. He’s really funny and always makes us laugh when we’re eating in the mess. 

When I mentioned that I could play guitar, someone dug one up and now I can keep up with my practicing. Nice to give the boys a bit of entertainment after a long day. Nothing like music to cheer you up.

Love,

Bruce

It’s time to ship out! I said goodbye to my family and to Betsy before I left. Betsy promised she’d write a lot, and send pictures of Los Simgeles so I don’t get homesick. I told her that I won’t get homesick - but now that I’m so far from home on foreign soil, I’m not so sure.
