Thinking about about doing some digging around the house but I can’t for the life of me remember the number to the safety hotline.

Fan saves a run. Reverse Bartman!

Quick night for that fan

Hendrickson is looking at his last big payday and he’s going to want more than a 2 or 3 year term on it. I don’t see how the Lions could add him and give him anything longer than 2 years. That may be pushing it too. I don’t see him being interested in that in a sign and trade deal. The Lions have all their recent resigns coming due starting in 2026. They will need another $30m plus on top of those for Hutch. His best signed as soon as possible as the price tag goes up every day.

Gritty AF

Drafted by prior regime makes it a lot easier.

2 out rally action. Gritty Tigs Baby!!

Siri has a lot of Javy in him.

Most painters are great with the first coat and then get lazy and rush through the second one. Hoping this is the case with Todd.

Yes, the main difference is Mize sucks.

From the Wikipedia page of home plate umpire Brian O’Nora: In December 2020, he was arrested and charged with solicitation and possessing criminal tools in connection with a human traffickingsting in Liberty Township, Ohio.

Loved watching Rogers at the plate last inning with a massive smirk on his face the entire AB facing his good buddy Alexander.

He’s going to keep seeing fastball up so he either needs to figure out how to hit it or lay off it completely.

He’s got great stuff when he’s not leaving balls middle middle

Crosby’s got a contract that would work. They could have him for 2 years after this one and then let him go. They’d be able to back load some of the current players that will need increases in the next 2 years to help offset.

I still believe the biggest threat to college football is the future of the American university system. It’s broken and won’t continue to exist like it does if they can’t figure out how to get the cost of education down. As more companies stop requiring bachelors degrees, the cost-value for many areas of study doesn’t make sense.

You are leaving out the biggest part of this equation. What does TV want? The guys putting up the money are going to want to have a say in what happens. If ratings stay strong and the new playoff system generates more ad money, I’m not sure much will change quickly. The NCAA controls the TV deals for everything outside of football. I’m not sure the networks want to scrap their sweatheart basketball deals and rework them with some brand new entity. In that regard, I’m not sure they ever go away even without football. I think a new entity to handle just football and conferences that are football only will be the way of the future but how far away will depend on the success of few years of this playoff model.

Rob Manfred is ass

This just in… Maybe the problem was UNLV.

In the meantime, it would benefit all of college football to come together and give Sluka the Kaepernick treatment. If nobody makes him and offer and he finds himself without anywhere to play next year, it may discourage the next person from trying it three games into a season.

He’s only got 1 year of eligibility left so this wouldn’t be shocking to see him try to use the only leverage he’s got to get paid. Not right but it is the new way. The in season stuff is crazy but we are absolutely going to see 1 year movement bleed over to P5 QB’s. Dylan Raiola is going to get huge offers to leave Nebraska and they are going to have open the bag again to keep him for next year. If Aidan Chiles can figure his stuff out, he’s going to get multimillion offers from the SEC to leave MSU, even after they paid him between $750k to $1M to come play this season.

This looks dirty but I honestly don’t know if this is instead a normal move that happens all the time in the trenches and Davenport just broke easily like he always does.

The dad has also chimed in agreeing with this NIL agent. Could very well be true or then again maybe not. NIL agents have burst on the scene and they aren’t real agents per se. No agent worth their salt calls a verbal promise with an assistant coach a closed deal and sells their client on it.

The flip side of drafting so well is we already have our future FA money tied up in players that will come due in the next few seasons. I’d love to add a big name like a Crosby, Reddick, or Adams but how do you commit that now knowing Hutch, Jamo, Gibbs, Branch, LaPorta, Kerby, Alim are all going to need significant pay raises to stay.

FA is a harder task because they are expected to come in day one and start. They also need to be a culture fit with the organization and have a clean record off the field. These are a lot of boxes to have to check before bringing someone on. They would probably have more success in FA just finding players that meet box 1 of getting it done on Sunday but that is not how Brad builds his teams. Hard to argue with his method since it’s working even with the FA misses.
