More immigrants? (EDIT: comment was in no way meant to be political and hope it isn't taken that way, just saying/wondering)

That's just the game. They know there's a certain percentage of their listener base who feel that way, so they get one of their guys to spout off like that to be their champion.

Kwesi just had public comments on Wed about the situation, so that's not fully true.

Think Ogee nailed it a few posts above. Vikings are or were interested in Rodgers, but strictly as a backup. And agree that anyone (here or in media) loudly exclaiming that he would never do that, has no idea if that's true. My sales pitch for him to come here as the backup: - McCarthy had an...

If he doesn't sign with Steelers and doesn't announce retirement, he basically has to be hoping that JJ tweaks his injury during the spring. I caught KFAN this morning playing Kwesi's clips from yesterday where he was asked about it and while he didn't technically shut the door it certainly...

This is really interesting! Maybe they are waiting then (not saying they're waiting for you knew who). Thanks for sharing this

What about "he was on our radar but we didn't consider him worthy of an offer until seeing what they did in the tournament"? I have no idea if that's a thing, hope not. I guess I don't see why we wouldn't do it like Wade did at McNeese, with the early announcement, if the deal is basically...

It only lets me compare four schools at a time. And again this is 2022-23 school year numbers: Iowa - $10.4M Wisconsin - $11M Nebraska - $10.2M Illinois - $14.2M

I have no idea what their NIL is like, but if you go to https://ope.ed.gov/athletics/#/ and select "Compare Data for Multiple Schools" you can see their Men's Basketball budgets (it's a bit old, I think it is the 2022-23 school year) which is showing roughly: CSU - $5.9M UNM - $4.9M Boise -...

What bout Flacco? Is he retiring?

Fair points. Notwithstanding that I have no visibility to the ultimate reasons why Rodgers didn't come ... it could have had more to do with money/terms than anything else. That said, assuming it was just that the Vikings didn't think they needed him and wanted to focus on McCarthy .... it's...

Well, that's that. I thought Rodgers to the Vikings was the move. But time to move on and embrace that McCarthy will be our starter Week 1 in 2025. That's a strong ass move ... and if it turns out to be Bryce Young instead of Jayden Daniels .... I'm not so sure some people shouldn't lose...

Thanks for a lot of great replies! Only thing further I wanted to add is that what I know of Rodgers is from watching Hard Knocks two seasons ago. He was mentoring the crap out of Zach Wilson, then. Sure, you could say that was performative for a TV show and I could not refute that. But...

Bolded: correct. It's a no lose situation, either way! I think only really bitter people see it differently. They need to get over it :)

Very, very, very much a thing of: win NOW. If we can get to the SB (and obviously, please please please win it), then anything and everything is worth it.

Then McCarthy beats him out and starts this year. And gains an excellent on-field mentor while KOC focuses on running the game. No loss detected

Bolded: ain't no such thing, my friend

Unless some valid reason is given, I assume the first year of Rodgers is equivalent to the first year of Favre. I'll be ready for McCarthy in 2026 to start, no matter what.

I'd be fine if they announced Medved as the new coach at some point today - Wed this week, before they get into March Madness. I just don't want some program with more money to pay to watch the first two rounds this week/weekend and go "hmm, maybe we should go hard after this Medved guy! I like...

I'm just saying, the "new money" (rev share and NIL) can't pay for those things. But the overall increased TV money from the Big Ten (minus the rev share amount), can pay for it.
