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.

Yep, you want to treat you rush ends, especially on passing downs, as sprinters.

That'd work but I prefer Even Deastern.

Nate Becker also still has a year of eligibility. He played a lot for us at the end of the year. He walked, so I assume he's leaving, but he could play valuable snaps next year if he chooses to return.

This is an important lesson that the things have changed in both directions. There are many players in the portal who were pushed out. The schools have to do it now to stay competitive. There were always a handful of players who used to transfer down a division and a smaller handful of players...

I went one night after I worked out late and so just joined a random team to get my cardio in. We tried out the 2-3 zone because of him. It worked about as well as you can imagine.

Ha! I played against him at SLP Lifetime (I think?) years ago. He was a shockingly athletic massive human being.

Offensive structure and ball movement are fun.

Hageman was 6'6" 295 as a RS FR. Howard is 6'4" 250 as RS SO.
