    All Things 2025 Minnesota Vikings Off-Season Thread

    If I follow you correctly, you're saying a thing like "he has so much money, he doesn't need to take a non-start job". I'm saying a thing like "he has so much money ... he doesn't need to do anything. He can just well retire. But what would actually be a worthwhile proposition for him to not do...

    Twins/Vikings/Wild/Wolves Championship appearance drought tracker

    Very unpopular opinion for someone living in Minnesota: hockey and baseball don't mean anything to me. Even with the Wolves, where NBA is the clear 2nd most popular pro league in the country ... it would be sweet, it would end the streak ..... but nothing will really scratch this itch like the...

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Vikings Off-Season Thread

    Your point is fair. I should have added to the ideal backup criteria list: is not trying to be a starter! Lot of people think that instantly removes Cousins and Rodgers from the list. I agree for Cousins, I think he still have enough juice and now he will not be only a year removed from...

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Vikings Off-Season Thread

    I know my opinion is less than worthless, just prefacing that first. What you (and others with similar comments) say here doesn't work for me. An ideal backup is a vet who also mentor's, and can still come in and win a game or two. That's not Howell, to me. I'm still hoping somehow Rodgers...

    Is Howell really the backup?? I could see the #3 guy. We need a vet, to mentor McCarthy

    Twins/Vikings/Wild/Wolves Championship appearance drought tracker

    By the end of tonight, both the Warriors and Wolves could win 4-1 over the supposed #2 and #3 seeds. They'll have to duke it out. Winner probably plays OKC in the conf final. Winner of that probably plays Cleveland or Boston in the NBA finals. It's quite a road!

    Utah to B1G?

    Washington and Oregon also were able to split off from their state's respective land-grant Ag schools. Interesting (to me at least) is that ASU is not a land-grant Ag school. It would be equivalent to something like Illinois State University, in that state. But I guess simply by different...

    Utah to B1G?

    Arizona State makes more sense to me than Utah, for whatever that's worth.

    Branham: There are at least 8 teams that will have a $10,000,000+ roster in college basketball next season.

    Unlike in the pros, there are some schools that have some wealthy alums/fans who are willing to give away their own money to support this stuff. That's probably the schools in the list. TV ratings are paying for the rev share stuff

    2025 Offseason NFL QB Carousel

    Bold is exactly the thing for me. If JJ is Joe Burrow, then great, we're done. But if he's not ... or he has some growing pains and it would be better to bench him than turn him into Bryce Young .... or the injury gets tweaked .... You can't waste this roster.

    All Things TV Series Recommendations/Reviews

    Well, what'd you think? I agree the season felt slow ... I'm trying to remember how I felt about seasons 1 and 2 in that regard. The show is a slow burn with a lot of character development, in general. I feel like I enjoyed season 2 more than season 3, but 3 was still solid for me. They're...

    If they were going to approve this for any player with eligibility left starting in the 2025-26 season ... then they'll have to approve a waiver for any player who wants one and used last year of eligibility in 24-25. There's no way they'd survive a lawsuit.

    A couple(?) weeks ago Musselman was on with Barreiro, and was talking about the old days of the G-League when it had better talent (in his opinion) and guys were scrapping and fighting to try to make the league getting paid at a rate of like $35k a year or less. Compare that now with what you...

    2025 high school football thread

    Bold: I'd prefer they scrap sections and take the top XX teams from the state, 1 guaranteed bid for each "geographic region" and then the top ranked X teams after that. Seed the bracket, and play it as the state bracket. That's it May never happen, but would be great to never have such a...

    Goodell, Owners Signal 18-Game NFL Season Is Coming—Eventually

    Won't happen. The preseason is also for TV crews (camera, equipment, control room, talent) to work the kinks out before the prime time, for stadium crews to get things in order again, etc. One preseason home game per team is probably enough though

    Goodell, Owners Signal 18-Game NFL Season Is Coming—Eventually

    I'm talking about one or two different players sit out games at different weeks of the season. (That wouldn't be strictly enforced ... teams could do it however they wanted, which is where strategy could play in.) Teams also already often take the last game of the season off, if they have...

    Goodell, Owners Signal 18-Game NFL Season Is Coming—Eventually

    Wonder if they can do a thing of something like: - go to 18 regular season games, but - no player may play in more than 17 regular season games TV, league, and fans get their increase while players technically don't take an extra game of wear and tear on the body.
