It looks like Koi is going to have to be stuck just going to college bars and parties and hanging out with co-eds. I couldn't imagine my college experience without access to the opera or any art museums.

Agreed. The problem with AJ Brown is that he is also incredibly high maintenance. It's a weight on the entire team. I will also be curious what happens with Hurts. It's clear they really like Tanner McKee, is now the time to trade Hurts and Brown?

I thought they really fumbled the nuanced concepts and it's accolades were from people who mirrored the same politics so it felt very intentional to me. It reminded me a little of the narrative about Columbine kids being bullied as a cause of school shooting. That idea seems laughable now. I...

Me too. I knew the Jets were a mess but I didn't understand the full extent of the rot there and in retrospect, a lot of the issues were outside of his control. That San Fran defense has no right to be even remotely decent right now and he has them playing.

Yeah, it could certainly be a competition thing for these spots too. It's not uncommon for us to have 3-5 transfer out after spring.

Pujols certainly has steroid allegations. I'll be curious how far the "no steroid allegation" crowd takes this argument. Pujols was accused of steroid use by Jack Clark. According to Clark, Pujols' long-time trainer (Chris Mihlfeld) told him he injected steroids into Pujols. Of note, Mihlfeld...

I don't know I missed the discussion about him, but the RB from Elon was their primary KR/PR.

They did a nice job in the second half of forcing a switch and then taking advantage of that defense. We almost treated it like a 2-3.

The Good: The team played really hard against a really bad matchup for us. They have so much size and that old guy caught fire early. Tough game but it was fun. The Bad: Bad officiating and that old guy was incredibly unlikeable. I spent way too much of a Friday waiting for him to get off the...

No, you're right. Where it gets complicated is if Koi agrees to have his name on billboard for $1,500,000 and then refuses to play the games, he has still satisfied his contract. If a stipulation in the contract is that he stays an active member on the TT football team, then California is going...

Agreed, I'm not a fan of KAM either but I think it was a smart move that almost worked. If Anthony Richardson was remotely decent, I think Jones would have stayed. As bad as JJ was, I'd much rather compete with Richardson for a starting job than JJ.

Taxation in sports and entertainment is always incredibly complicated. I believe NIL would be just like NFL. The NFL also has a tremendous amount of revenue sharing (they don't sell their individual TV rights). Being a 1099 also does not have an impact on them for these questions. As to...

I just don't know if I would consider someone not signing with you a bet. I guess you could consider it a bet if we're saying we would have went after Russell Wilson or another more-prominent backup but for the pursuit of Daniel Jones. Who? Russ Wilson was worse than Wentz. I am sure there are...

What were the bets beside gambling on JJ? The JJ / Darnold thing was 1 bet - I agree, we lost. Daniel Jones chose to go to Indy because he thought he had a better chance. We were never dealt cards.

Does anyone know which of the guys on the roster is seen as more of a blocker? We lost a couple of good blocking TEs in Bierman and Biber.
