I’m not sure USC wouldn’t have come without fUCLA (you guys need to learn this now since they are in conference) but the logistics of playing any sport other than football probably wouldn’t work out.

Logic rears its ugly head again. 😊 You and I may see the reality of the situation but I promise you that Mark Davis doesn’t see this Raiders team as rebuilding. I bet he truly believes they are just a player or two away from the Super Bowl next year. He believes that haircut looks good too.

They probably should listen but the Raiders would immediately say no. You used logic and in doing so broke rule #1 when talking about the Raiders. If it makes sense to everyone else, they are probably doing something different.

He’s already got a football plaything in the Dolphins. Michigan is his side piece.

Too bad 80’s corporate raider T Boone Pickens isn’t alive for this era. He poured in hundreds of millions trying to get Oklahoma State football to be a power. He actually paid to build the entire stadium. I can’t imagine how crazy he’d go if he could get the money right to players and recruits.

Who had the better career in Detroit, Daniel House Jr. or Zach Ertz?

Oregon has deeper pockets than Ohio State. Phil Knight is the perfect benefactor and has poured millions into players this offseason. They got 2 of the top portal QB’s, the top WR and CB. He also personally ensured their head coach didn’t go Alabama. That’s big, big dollars and I think he’s just getting started and will write whatever checks it takes to get Oregon their first title.

Trust The Abscess!

They keep the initials on to remind the curse that he’s dead.

Notice who this letter is signed by? She is no longer Sheila Ford Hamp. She dropped the Ford from her name on official team business sometime last year and look what’s happened. This was Shiela’s best move to date narrowly beating out letting Chris Spielman hire MCDC and Brad.

It’s got to be tough to be a young NBA player thinking you’re doing all the right things only to find out that Troy Weaver believes in you as a future star. Feel terrible for this kid

Nobody denies the concept of skill exists. There are plenty of people that don’t believe in luck. I have a friend who is an adamant luck denier. We’ve debated it many times over beverages. He makes some interesting points but has never been able to sway me. Random luck definitely does exist. I do agree that many things people view as luck are instead explained by skill, illusion, or most often, math and science.

Just curious, do you not believe in the concept of luck?

I’m not sure of the exact legal repercussions of student athletes changing into university employees but it will probably bring about the complete dismantling of the NCAA and the college athletic structure that we’ve grown accustomed to the past 100 years.

Coming off an all-pro season, I see ASB getting something between the Kupp ($26.7) and Tyreek ($30) deals that were signed last year. Deebo’s deal is now 2 seasons past and the bar has gone up. Maybe 4 years/$115m or something in that range. I also think Goff gets closer to $50m than $42m

This would be such a win-win that I don’t know if was Caleb, the Bears, or the Commanders that leaked it out. DC would love to trade up and take the hometown player, Poles would love to stick with his guy Fields and add a ton of high draft picks to play with over the next two years.

You said there is no way that Cooper Dejean is faster than Sauce Gardner. My comparison shows you are wrong and it is very possible.

I don’t know what Dejean is going to run. Nobody does yet. We don’t even know his real height and weight. Colleges lie all the time to make their guys look better. Something called nfldraftbuzz.com pulled a 4.50 prediction that appears to have no substantiation. I see him closer to 4.4 than I do 4.5.

There’s absolutely a way. As High Schoolers, Dejean was the Iowa state 100m champ with a time of 11.16. Sauce ran 11.50 as his PR at Detroit King.

I’d expect Dejean to run between 4.35 - 4.41 at full health. The injury may have an impact on his combine training though.

I didnt see that one coming. Guess I’m Scuderia too.

We have a very small picture of what the first round will look like. It’s just too early. That doesn’t mean to not spend time on draft stuff right now but use a pencil and be open minded. Many of the thoughts and projections on players will probably change as more data becomes available.

Nobody has done a thing. No workouts, no measurements, no interviews, no medicals, no combine testing. All we’ve got is college tape and whatever physical measurements their school puts out regardless of reality. That’s a tiny picture when putting together the entire grade. The draft would be really easy if we could just watch college games and that would tell us who will be the best pros.

There’s no such thing as a mock draft on January 31st. They are just click bait for draft freaks that need to feed their jones early.

It sucks we’re not starting this thread 2 weeks from now.
