Or a VeeSee box. I don’t know how it’s legal, but I’d be surprised if every NFL game wasn’t on it live.

Is it important to you that you see the games live? If not, NFL+Premium is only $80 on sale now. $100 is the regular price. Original broadcasts are available immediately after games end. Condensed are available in a couple hours and All-22 a couple days later. Plus you get Red Zone and some other online stuff. I live in Buffalo but still use it a ton for other condensed games. https://id.nfl.com/select-subscription?campaign=nfl-nfl-np-bm-gg-3000741&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20436939009&gbraid=0AAAAADsTcZHF2T8M9bSgZc3axgQe4XI4T&gclid=CjwKCAjwvNfSBhBiEiwAyaGMCV-rTqwoYXbwSkat73_kR-4q19GVIv2m_UM6oNaBfNU28qK5FAgYoxoCzjIQAvD_BwE

Miami might just be bad enough this season to find a QB in the next draft.

I live 5 minutes away from the North campus, have toured it when my son was looking for a school, know a bunch of alumni, have been on campus dozens of times and have driven by/through the campuses hundreds of times. That all said, I can tell you very little about it other than every alum and every student I’ve spoken to about it seems to have enjoyed their experience there.

True. But garbage is garbage.

There should be a single thread where all of the opinion lists and charts can go. They’re almost all just useless garbage from the (at best) semi-informed.

At the time of his extension I was hoping for the Bills to upgrade at MLB. I didn’t think Bernard had played nearly well enough to be guaranteed his starting spot much less to have earned an extension. I don’t think last season did anything to help him. Now he’s moving to another system. He’s not going anywhere this season due to the contract so hopefully the system change is helpful to him. I’m not at all confident in that, but it’s what we have to work with now.

I wonder if Aiyuk is injured. That would be the only logical reason to do what he’s doing. A player must pass an exit physical to have their contract terminated. Much would depend on where and how he sustained the injury and if it was related to the 2024 knee that kept him out of the 2025 season. Other than that it’s difficult to think of much besides mental illness.

This list is just pressure rate, which is only one aspect of the whole picture. Some players are very good at converting pressures to sacks and some are below average. Jadeveon Clowney comes to mind. Excellent pressure rate, but due to his poor change of direction ability he was never a great finisher. Sacks per pressure or per pass rush is also important. As is how often the player is double - or triple (Garrett) - teamed. The list can go on, but those three metrics taken together tells a much better story than any single one of them.

Yep. He can play. He’s a ball hawk and a hard hitter, but he makes mistakes and is not known for taking accountability for them. He talks a ton of smack, but that includes to his own teammates. It could be a great signing or a disaster. Just have to wait and see.

Harper isn’t all that unusual. Just off the top of my head I can think of two. Harper Lee, author of “To Kill a Mockingbird” and comedian Nate Bargatze’s only child are both named Harper. He has a bit about people asking him if it was because he was a fan of the author/book and not knowing who that was or anything about the book. Every generation has names that are “normal” for them and unusual for others. Many names come back around after falling out of favor for a while.

I think this is correct. But it only takes one team/owner/GM/HC to pull the trigger. I expect the NFL and Sorsby to come to an agreement rather than litigate his entry. That’s important info for some teams to consider. As for Cleveland, I don’t think they’re in play. Should they finish near the top of the draft, Manning is the plan. Haslam is tight with the family through his U of Tennessee connection. I have heard that he’d be willing to cede a tremendous amount of control to the family - including choice of coaches and GM - to entice them to engineer Arch’s way to the Browns Eli-style.

Phil Mickelson is estimated to have made over $1B in bets over three decades. His losses on those bets are close to $100M. His wife only stayed with him after an agreement where they now split his winnings 50-50 and each have complete control over their half. To me this is absolutely insane.

As mentioned, plays on which there is a turnover are automatically reviewed. If a coach challenges a play that is subject to automatic review they are penalized by losing a timeout.

Funny clip, but this guy is on his seventh team in six seasons. Trash talking not where I want to see him improve.

If the Browns’ doctors failed him, then why would the FO/coaches overrule them? The contract w/the Browns would have been “up to $5M”. I am sure there were some guarantees. Nothing on the contract w/the Eagles yet, but I’d be surprised if it is as much as that. Also it’s been three months. He may have healed up sufficiently in that time. Seems pretty straightforward to me.

Was a legitimate failed physical. I have not been able to find out what the issue was. I can say this - the Browns wanted him, were disappointed that it didn’t work out and have yet to replace him on the depth chart.

8 void years is very odd. 4 is the maximum usable by the NFL for salary cap purposes. Guessing some of those void years are just placeholders for an upcoming extension, probably next offseason.

After his release, Aiyuk is headed to Washington DC to play with his boy, Jayden Daniels. From what I’ve heard about him, no team should be interested in giving him any guaranteed money. I’m sure the Commanders will tho. And they need WR help.

Thanks. That makes sense. IGB is a very physical player.

The steroid use the Steelers pioneered during that time might’ve had some to do with the success of those players. Notably steroids were not yet banned by the NFL.

Serious question: Did he say what any of those things are? Wondering if it’s player, scheme or both.

Nice little breakdown from the Bills side. I will add some perspective from the Ravens’ side for context: Hitting the dig: 2nd&11 from +15 so they were looking to make Allen throw short and get to 3rd and medium. #24 bit on Allen’s look left even though no receiver went deep. He was late and Josh threw a great pass for the TD. Kincaid did a great job with pace and shielding the other S from the ball. Make the defense be perfect or make them pay kind of play. Hitting the RB: 2nd&10 from +36. The Ravens were happy to allow a throw underneath and the Bills were happy to take it. Win for Ravens as it brings up 3rd&7. Bills would’ve been hoping for a couple more yards on this one. Hitting the solo: 2nd &6 from -20. Completion for a first down on Allen’s extension of the play. He makes it look easy. Ravens had nice coverage, but the Bills had really nice protection. Shout out to Brown as #45 winds up on the ground which makes Allen’s scramble right easy. Exactly what an offense looks to do against a well defended play. Hitting the first under: 2nd&1 from the -37. Ravens were defending against a deep shot. Seemed like an obvious time to expect that. Allen took the short pass for a first down. Good football on both sides. Hitting the second under: 3rd&10 from the +18 and 4:48 left in the game. This is the regular season game btw. The Bills are down 40-25 at this time. The play nets 8 yards and brings up 4th&2. Im sure that the Bills were very happy with that result under the circumstances. Really nice job by Palmer to get extra yards on the play. Allen got what he could on the play.

Ridiculously low comp for Jefferson. I’d do it in a heartbeat (obviously), but the Vikes would laugh at the offer.

Maybe he’s just running late……
