Unless Dorsey moves on, put me in the too many cooks camp. They have plenty of good voices in the room now.

Future power in the division will come down to who finds the top tier QB first. The Bears have taken first shot with Fields and we will see where that goes. He could be the one. I’d put them ahead of the Lions in their rebuild at the moment but that could very, very easily change if Fields isn’t a guy. I don’t out any value in Love. I could be very wrong but don’t think he’s their guy and they will be back in the hunt in a few years.

Black Monday is here and no deal yet with Harbaugh. No matter what happens, it shouldn’t have come to this for UM. Now another curveball comes into the mix as the Dolphins have fired their coach. I wonder which one of his football teams the benefactor would like Jim to coach.

This would be a more likely scenario where they could get away with it.

This would be great for the Lions. They would move up draft spots in the later rounds when the NFL takes away multiple picks from both teams for making a mockery of the game.

He made some very nice throws today. He’s looked good the last few games. Major improvements over how he looked the first 10 weeks.

Adding to this point a number of guys stepped up and made an impact that had been quiet earlier in the year. I’d put St Brown, Raymond, Josh Reynolds, Reeves-Maybin, Netflix Reynolds, Bryant, Melafonfu, and even Goff in this group.

Normally I’d be SOL for winning a meaningless game to cost a draft spot but as others.said there is no top player in this draft. I also agree there’s a real chance that Jax does take Evan Neal which would leave the Lions with the same choice as if they were #1.

Did either of their Governors hold a press conference today diminishing the dangers of the virus and questioning the need to get tested?

Still mad about this one.

I’m not sure why they would play their starters for more than a series or two.

I actually think he ends up staying. I’m not sure if he will agree in the next 48 hours and not talk to NFL teams or if he will talk and then choose to go back to UM. At this point, it would be a stronger message to recruits and the fanbase if he did talk to the NFL next week and then pulled a Wolf of Wall Street and pumped everyone up by spurning them to stay. Again though, none of this dance needed to happen if UM had better athletics leadership in place.

Let’s Go Ron!

10 minutes ago from one of the most reliable NFL sources. The key line “Harbaugh loves to be courted”

Two terribly inconsistent teams trying to turn the corner in their rebuild. Should be fun. AA is close to coming back from injury but isn’t set to go tonight. Wings fans should see Martin Frk, who has had a great season in the AHL, and has just been called up. He probably will play on the top line replacing Alex Iafallo who is in Covid protocol.

GKG!

I don’t think Trump really wants to be President again as much as he wants to see how much in campaign money he can siphon into his and his friends pockets from the red hat morons . He made billions the first time through and they were all figuring it out as they went. This time they have experience and he can really get his grift on. I don't think 11 figures is out of the realm for what they can make off the 2024 election.

I’m not sure this is how it will play out I think there’s a real unintended side effect of NiL that can cause huge problems for how athletics operate in the world of academia. it’s no secret that many faculty and high level administrators aren’t fond of sports being the main marketing vehicles of their schools. The thought is that it minimizes the academic reputation when the general population thinks of football instead of academics when they hear the name of a particular school. Academics view athletics as a necessary evil as an opportunity to help them raise money for their general fund. Nothing better than a good football team to engage your richest alums. Schools are fine with athletics doing their own direct fundraising to pay for what they need to function on their own without tapping the university funds. There’s a pending problem if these big donors can go directly to the athlete without paying off the university too. We may see a changing attitude from university presidents and trustees if sports starts taking money from their educational and construction fundraising instead of adding to it.

This is exactly what I was trying to get at. Is there something else going on behind the scenes slowing down the process.

I felt the same exact way but somewhere along the line Apple made some improvements. It’s still not perfect but way better than I remembered it.

I don’t use Alexa or Siri but I speak out most all of my texts and even post on the site like this one. The speech to text feature on the iPhone has gotten really good.

This had been my entire point. It’s not that I think he’s going anywhere else but why has this taken so long. The Ohio St. game was 41 days ago. That’s plenty of time for UM to get numbers worked out for him. In this ridiculous coaching landscape, there’s no reason to wait that long. Much bigger deals at other schools happened quicker this off-season. All this has done has create uneasiness and instability. The timetable makes no sense to me unless Harbaugh is the one the is slow playing things to see what NFL opportunities pop up or if UM doesn’t really care if he stays or goes like Notre Dame chose with Kelly but I don’t really think thats the case here.

I view Tucker Carlson as an actor playing a role on a TV show. If a liberal based show would pay him twice as much then he’d flip his script in a heartbeat and reinvent himself as a new character.

It’s early but Treylon Burks is my top WR.

He’s a top 10 safety so why not. I’d probably want him over Walker but I’m good with whatever Brad wants to do. His signings the past year have earned good trust with me.
