on track for the #5 pick in the draft.

kyle seager isnt a boomer. he has his whole life ahead of him and for someone of his age and his physical status, he has an infintessimally small chance of having serious problems from covid. plus the last strain is weaker. and the strains in the future are likely to get even weaker than this one. if he's retiring because he's scared of getting covid, he's an idiot.

roll tide. go blue.

if he's retiring because of fears of covid he's an idiot. if he's retiring because he's made enough money, invested it well, and he's ready to move on to another phase of his life, that's understandable.

a bigger surprise is that he's actually played in 12 games this year. that's probably 6 more than i expected. so when do the giants cut him? after next year?

i would.

exactly. its not that the system benefits "corrupt sleazy bowl reps" - which is surely does - its that the current system fills the networks' need for constant content. they get ratings. they get ad dollars. they get inventory. the bowl system makes money for the main players involved. there really isnt a reason to change it. i think its outdated. i think they should have a 16 team tournament and maybe some minor other tournaments to fill the space, but there doesnt seem to be too much of an appetite for that.

like what?

1.71 million people watched the Camellia Bowl on xmas day. it even outdrew one of the nba games. that's why the bowls will continue to exist: americans watch football. a lot.

this really is ridiculous.

i think melifonwu ends up at safety if he sticks at all.

well....and there is that whole bankruptcy thing they have to pay for.

boo.

the people that liked the baez signing will be crowing when he gets hot for two weeks. the people that didnt like it will be crowing when he looks completely lost for two weeks and swings at everything. same as always. lol.

no qbs worth taking. you're not going to get much of a haul this year, imo.

dax hill not in miami...

i'd say the lions needs are everywhere, but greatest at qb, wr, linebacker, defensive end, and yes, cornerback and safety. walker is a free agent and harris sucks. they need a safety. the corners they brought in have been good and oruwariye has played better this year. do you trust him and okudah? im not sure. okudah may never be any good after that injury. the lions have the luxury of needing help almost everywhere!

no.

maybe. maybe they'll renegotiate the deal? at this point he can make more money in college than in the pros.

again, you're acting like harbaugh is a coach trying to maximize his leverage for a big contract or a new gig. and that michigan is worried about securing his signature on a new deal. again, he's a different cat. he's made a shit ton of money and he's happy where he's at. he has no agent so if something gets done, he and michigan will talk about it and do it. or not. there is no other coach for michigan.

chicago will 100% fire nagy. pace may stay. i doubt seattle fires carroll. pittsburgh will 100% not fire mike tomlin. no way. houston will not fire its coach. the giants have said judge is coming back, but we'll see. vegas coach is gone for sure. gonna be a lot of harbaugh to the raiders or bears speculation. expect to see a lot of breathless albert breer tweets about it, just like when he came to michigan and breer said there was no way he would ever leave the nfl for college. harbaugh is a different kind of cat. i think its 98% he stays at michigan. if he wins a national championship he might leave, but i still doubt it.

harbaugh isnt going anywhere.

right, "old laws." i think the passage of laws by any group has something to say about the morals of that group and what they value. its not just "religious people" who pass laws to put their moral views onto others, its every group. you just happen to agree with the current cultural/moral group that believes in their modern notions of equality and the ability of individuals to do whatever they want. and so do i. most of us are children of the 60s and the post civil rights era interpretation of the constitution.

what law excludes non-religious people?

from trump's tax cut to biden's infrastructure bill, to continued low interest rates, the money keeps flowing out of washington and into wall street's pockets. as long as we keep buying the rest of the world's goods and being a relatively good actor on the world stage, we can keep having the world's reserve currency and keep spending ourselves silly. i read an article recently comparing the US to 16th century Spain, awash in gold from the americas. i didnt really understand it all, but the basic premise seemed to be without any consequences for terrible financial mismanagement, government and society grew fat and lazy, and eventually collapsed. we'll see if history repeats itself, or just rhymes.
