    Favre turned 40 in 2009. And that was back in 2009. Nutrition, medical technology, etc. better in 2025 than 2009.

    B1G Commissioner Floats Expanded Playoff Idea to 28 Teams!

    Not sure if it was mentioned in the OP or in the thread, but sounds like a key component is that conference championship games would be no more, and instead that would become the first round of the expanded playoff. That part at least, I like

    B1G Commissioner Floats Expanded Playoff Idea to 28 Teams!

    There's a hard cap right now for revenue sharing. $20.5M for 2025-26. Going up I think around 4% per year That's what I was referring to with the cap, apologies was not referring to a cap on endorsements ("NIL" .. what it was supposed to be)

    B1G Commissioner Floats Expanded Playoff Idea to 28 Teams!

    "NIL" in any sense outside bonafide endorsement deals by for-profit companies actually selling a product or providing an actual service, should be gutted. Sorry if that ruffles some feathers, but that's how I feel about that. Bring all that stuff in-house, let the schools run it, and put a hard...

    B1G Commissioner Floats Expanded Playoff Idea to 28 Teams!

    Is the 6th or 7th seed in NFL likely Super Bowl material? No, but it still gets massive TV ratings I don't think it's any worse. 14 out of 32 make the playoff in the NFL

    And conference championship game ... possibly more than one game?

    Brosmer in Vikings Game

    So, sorry not to derail the thread too much, but ..... if Brosmer is this high level of a talent -- and good on whichever of the Gopher coaching staff found him and/or green lit him coming here -- ..... then how did we lose at home to North Carolina, a team we had no business losing to, and...

    We won't get anywhere farther than this, so I'm happy to agree to disagree and let you have the last word if you want it (though the above seems pretty succinct and well summarized). I disagree that there was no one we could've had this year who would've been significantly better at throwing...

    He can go out for 2-4 games with a minor injury that is no fault of his own in the slightest, even if he is kicking ass. We can't just forfeit those games because we have no backup QB ...

    Yes, but Vikings and Bills are only NFL squads with 0-4 records in Super Bowl. It's gotta be not just getting back ... it's gotta be bring that damn trophy home.

    Bold: you're obviously set in your way of thinking (not that I'm trying to change anyone's mind), but I just don't buy it. And I can be right about that, while it still being true that the season hinges more on the defense than the offense. That is a statement I much more agree with. Would...

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Vikings In-Season Thread

    You're probably exactly correct. Here's the problem though: we have a very short window ... right now. To do something special with this special defensive roster and the special defensive coordinator we have. Those might not last very long around here. Would be a G-D shame if it only amounts...

    He's a data guy. I think that's why he does so good on free agents/vets, as there's usually good data on their NFL performance if you know how to analyze it. Rookies there is no NFL data because they obviously haven't played in the league yet. So it doesn't work (as well)

    Moorhead QB is son of former great NDSU QB. (However pretty sure those teams almost never threw the ball and ran option every play)

    Michigan gets its “penalty”

    If you're playing against the #1 defense the nation, and you know that they're going to be in ..... Base ... for this play. How does that mean you can do whatever you want on offense? It was cheating. But even if you know a fastball is coming, you still have to hit it.

    Would love to see a rule that in order to be eligible to kick a FG the drive has to reach a minimum spot of advancement into the opposing team's territory. Can even be that say they got there on first, but then lost yards on 2nd/3rd and went out, still good enough since they got there at one point.
