  1. Atlanta has the same problem as about half the league. They made the mistake of building their offense around QB and skill positions instead of QB and offensive line.
  2. He has a $56M buyout. The only way he’s gone is if Terry Pegula wants to pay for it. And yes, there’s a real shot at the full James Franklin coming out today.
  3. As you brought up earlier, the passing of Marian will be when we’ll find out the family’s future interest in continued ownership. They will get some large offers.
  4. The Ilitch family owns the Tigers. Chris runs it for the family trust. A divorce shouldn’t impact the majority ownership of the teams.
  5. I’m sure he’s been playing hurt but Glasgow has been horrible for the past few weeks.
  6. Caleb has always had a unique talent to make amazing throws on the run. It’s probably only matched by Mahomes, Lamar, and Allen. It jumps out when you watch his tape that only a few people on the planet could make some of the plays. Maybe it got lost in the awe of the skill that nobody ever stopped and asked why was he in that predicament in the first place. It’s easy to blame on the OL but how many times did he miss an easy read that he should’ve made or waited too long on an open play. He seems like a smart guy that wants to win but he’s definitely struggling to make the easy play and that has to change for him to be successful.
  7. This video answers the question from a few weeks back on if Lions fandom in Ontario extends all the way to London.
  8. This weather should really favor ND and their ability to run the ball. Jeremiyah Love is future superstar. He’s got a chance to be the RB1 in the 2026 draft and maybe better than Bijan Robinson. I pains me to say it but I think the Irish are the team everyone is sleeping on. Their only real weakness is head coach.
  9. I absolutely believe they can overcome the current injuries and still make the Super Bowl. Here’s what concerns me. We’ve lost crucial parts in just about every game. Why would these last 3 games be any different? The bucket is already overflowing. I don’t think this team can handle any more injuries and it’s likely they will have more. Obviously, winning games is the most important but it really needs to happen without losing any more guys.
  10. Browns Fans FTW!
  11. There’s the saying born on 3rd and thinks they hit a triple. Woody was born in the Hall of Fame and thinks he’s Willie Mays.
  12. I’ve been watching Fox News for the last 15 minutes. I can’t remember the last time I did that.
  13. If a player is claimed they must go on the 53 and can’t be put on the practice squad at any time. Every roster spot is valuable at this time of year for the contenders. I don’t see anyone using it just to block the Lions but it probably doesn’t matter since every contender could find a spot for him in their DL rotation.
  14. Mortgages have skyrocketed back up over 7% this morning. Nobody liked the fed dot plot for next year. The housing market will continue to be under stress. The good news is people are starting to realize that we’re never getting back down in the 3’s and we’re probably a long way from the low 4’s. I don’t think we need to get too far into the 5’s for the housing to pick up again. Low 5’s would even create a small boom of activity.
  15. Nope. This late in the season everyone must go through waivers. November 5th is the cutoff date.
  16. This potentially opens the door for anyone that played JUCO to not have those years count against their eligibility. We will see how hard the NCAA wants to fight this one.
  17. They will be awarding additional scholarships for most of the non-revenue sports. This should satisfy Title IX since it’s about equal participation and not compensation.
  18. As usual, Powell talks and bad things happen.
  19. Powell’s comments will have more to do with moving the market than the expected rate cut.
  20. I don’t see any way how this proposed hard cap on NIL will stand up in court. You can’t tell a player he’s unable to accept a legitimate marketing offer because the school is already over the $20.5M.
  21. Caveat Emptor Not sure if he left or USC balked at giving him an increase after he was paid a ton of money last year and didn’t perform. He went from being an All-American return man in 2023 to actually losing the job last year.
  22. That sucked but trying to take some positives from yesterday: Jared Goff was sensational again. Sure, the stats were a bit padded but damn did he look good. He made all the right decisions and he threw some absolute lasers. That throw on the Amon-Ra fumble was one of the best balls you will ever see. Only a couple guys in the league can make that throw under pressure. He’s undeniably a top 5 QB in the league and probably higher. He can make any throw and is smart with the ball. Josh Allen is another level talent and maybe that’s why he makes some throws that he shouldn’t. He got away with multiple careless decisions. Coverage wasn’t as bad as the story may seem. Josh Allen had 6 seconds to pass on almost every play. That’s not on the DB’s. He rarely found his first option open and many of their best plays were schoolyard scrambles. Grit. I think most everyone thought they were done after the Bills scored coming out the half and we went 3 and out. The hits kept coming with the injuries and especially Alim. Even after the botched onside that became an easy 7 for the Bills, the Lions kept coming. They fought hard the entire way and gave themselves a little chance at the end. The entire offense manned up big time in the 4th. They weren’t rolling over and were gashing the Bills. This offense is a buzzsaw. When they are on, it’s legitimately one of the best in recent NFL history. The OL was not great yesterday and they still scored 42. It’s a much harder way but they can still get to the SB with a suspect defense. The Bills are now the betting favorites to win it all and they’ve given up 40 in back to back weeks. It can all still happen even if the defense is crippled.
  23. It makes perfect sense if his agent is a Tellum or Tellum associate.
