Sudfeld looks and acts like a pro quarterback when doing things under 10 yards. As soon as the play is longer, everything from decision making, accuracy, timing, and overall throw quality falls apart.
$50 -$65k per month for guys in their 20’s that just got cut from an NFL team is life changing. I’m not sure many would start off making that in a year if they didn’t make practice squad and had to change into a new career without any experience.
Lots of interesting names but we know the Lions value the fit into their culture even more than talent. It’s hard to predict who they may have their eye on without knowing anything about that side of the player.
The problem from the owners perspective is the amount of money they are paying starting pitchers continues to increase while their usage goes down. They want to better maximize their roster spending and get more bang for their buck.
I give it less than a 50% chance that these shows happen. Even smaller for the rumored North American stadium tour that is supposed to follow. Too much time for these morons to blow it up before next July.
Framing is absolutely more gamesmanship than it is cheating.
There is a point where some forms of gamesmanship can cross a line to where it starts to impact the quality of the game. I can think to the “Hack A Shaq” 4th quarter immediate fouling of a poor FT shooter or the Eagles Tush Push play. All technically legal but taking advantage of an unintended loophole that hurts the overall quality of competition.
I don’t see how poor umpiring is good for the game. Outlawing framing would be a very easy way to help the umps miss fewer calls.
James Houston is an athletic pass rusher with one great move. The speed rush duck under had great success for a short time. Now it’s on tape and teams can easily prepare for it. He needs to add more tricks to his bag if he’s going to stay in the league. Last year’s injury was a big setback and it doesn’t sound like he’s made a lot of strides expanding his rush game.
Makes sense to have a UM football discussion in a political thread.
The biggest booster of the UM program is Stephen Ross. He’s also one of Trump’s very good friends and largest contributors.
In a sense, Trump and Michigan football are joined at the hip. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him at a few games this year wearing maize and blue and singing Mr.Brightside with the students.
Maybe he’ll show up at @pfifetailgate and eat all the food and leave without tipping.
