I don't think it's that nefarious (ie. the U is syphoning off NIL). You can direct your NIL to where you want it to go. I don't particularly like NIL, but it is a democratization tool to some degree. I contribute to the football NIL, but don't send a dime to basketball. I go to the games and...

I have two tickets to the Women's Basketball game vs. Oregon on 2/16 at 2pm that I cannot use. Free to a good home (Gopher fans only).

A guy with no business getting the job in the first place gets 4 years and some are wondering if he's gotten a "fair shake"? Just getting the job in the first place equates to him standing on third after bunting down the first base line. He received the most "unfair shake" in his favor, not...

Didn't realize this - Lewis Cine was on the active Eagles roster for the Super Bowl. So he and his one career tackle now have a super bowl ring. I think that's the definition of "failing forward".

Has a cap hit of almost $30MM in 2025 and over $27MM in 2026, which will limit his trade value. Any trade would likely require a contract restructuring, or the Rams to take some of that hit. You can't pay a guy that much money and only be healthy for 8 games...

The Rams are still a credible team to make the Super Bowl. With all those years Stafford spent languishing in Detroit, I could see him milking this opportunity for all it's worth. His "legacy" gets way more impressive with a second SB win; there are only 13 QBs to ever win multiple SBs. Plus...

I went to grad school out of state from 2006-2008. I had my parents record the Vikings and Gopher football games on VHS and mail them to me every Monday morning. I would usually get them on Wednesday, when I would walk to the post office (my wife had our one car to go to work) to pick them up...

Are you CBJ himself, his wife, or his mom? That is literally the only plausible explanation for this post. Well, other than just being a troll job, which is likely as well I suppose.

Maybe we’ll see him around here again in the future as a Defensive Coordinator.

They sure are happy about being slightly less fat, at a very significant cost. It is remarkable how flippin' well these things work, however. Everytime my 10-year old hears "COVID", he has to say, "If it's COVID....Paxlovid". BTW, random nugget - in the long-form commercial, the fat lady admits...

Cell phone provider and pharmaceutical ads while watching sports. I used to be burned out on Ford Truck and Bud Light ads, but now I pine for them.

I mean, it's a message board. If there wasn't complaining allowed, you'd only be left with about 10% of the content. And what's the fun in that? The recent post showed the Twins spent all of 0.5% of what the Dodgers did in free agency over the past two years. Will complaining fix that? No. But...

It was poppin, great crowd.

I'm sure this was discussed on the women's board, but watching the MN/MD womens game last week made me marvel at how anybody would want to play for Maryland. The box score lists an attendance of 5k, but based on pans across the crowd, I bet there wasn't more than 2k there. Maryland was ranked...

And just sign reliever Tanner Scott to 4/$72. Its like they’re intentionally trying to piss off all the other owners into instituting a salary cap.

One thing to note, that the team was generally pretty healthy in 2024. If they go back to the mean as far as typical number of injuries in 2025, all things equal, they likely perform worse by a couple victories. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/min/2024_injuries.htm

I hate to bring intent (and thus more subjectivity) to refs, but if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck. That wasn't a legit attempt at completing a pass. With how often defenders are flagged for hitting the QB wrong, it has changed how they're hitting QBs, and seems...

For everybody clamoring for IOL help, pickings are likely to be a bit slim. If they want to take a guard at 24, there are only two highly ranked guards in the draft. As far as free agents, there are a couple of bigger names that are old, and then a bunch of Dalton Risner-level guys. Will...

He's been playing well on punt blocking. I'm mostly joking as he's still very young. However, he seems tailor made for Flores' defensive scheme, so I am a bit concerned he didn't flash a bit more this year.

The three biggest games of KOC's career (Playoffs vs. Daniel freakin' Jones, Playoffs vs. Rams, Week 18 vs. Lions): 0-3, outscored 85-42.
