I read that New England hit a few home runs. I know, just coaching alone, they have improved.

Football, sure if he was in to it. But I would push other sports before football. I would push rowing the most. That's a lifelong sport (and also where the scholarships if that is your thing). Peeps in Buffalo have a fantastic resource in the world class West Side Rowing Club. Also, lacrosse. Just because that seems like fun. There are also scholarships.

Good stuff. Here is a more specific link to the video: You can also watch the classical version, also great:

Oof. Rough neighborhood. Game day traffic is going to be epic. I get vertigo just thinking about being on those upper decks.

No running back was selected. I kind of expected one in the 4th or 5th. And poor Joe Brady. Always a bridesmaid, never a bride.

I wouldn't be shocked if Beane traded up in round two. He has a stash of nine more picks, they don't need that.

Speed... we haven't had much of it, so this is a refreshing pick. This will be fun to watch. For the old timers, 40 yard dash times: Don Beebe: 4.25 (he claims a 4.21 in a workout with the Jets) Max Hairston: 4.28 I knew Beebe was fast, but not that fast.

So, to do a mock draft you need two things: draft order an assessment of each player available an assessment of each team's needs #1 and #2 can be found easily enough. But where is GPT getting #3? I doubt GPT has any idea of each team's needs, that's why it chose a WR for the Bills instead of a DL or CB. GPT just chose BPA.

I used ChatGPT to aid in the writing of an admissions essay. I did not use the text GPT provided--it was too verbose and it would have been plagiarism. But I did use the outline as a scaffold for my own writing. It worked out well.

Look at the top ten cornerbacks of the 2025 free agency period (not my list, I don't think Rasul should be on it, but whatever): Considering the above list, Beane stuck to his MO of letting the market come to him. He did not make a desperation signing above his budget. Who available would have been a better signing in the same price range as White? Give Beane a break.

I made a better screenshot. It says "Injuries per game." But I don't know to interpret that..... 4 to 5 turf injuries per game seems awfully high. I suppose it could be right.

Doug Flutie was overrated.

Ron White broke a sacred rule of group therapy---what happens in group, stays in group. He shouldn't be on a popular podcast dishing out on people, that's wrong. (not using the player's name doesn't absolve him)

You and I are in agreement on that. The question is -- what is Cook's agent advising Cook to do? I am not impressed with Cook's agent (Matt Leist of LAA Sports) to this point. His client is active on social media, that is: -- a poor negotiating tactic or -- his client is undisciplined and out of control Neither is good for Cook.

I am interested in the injury rate of players on the new field. I did some Googling and found that grass is not automatically better than turf. Highmark 2 is going to be a big fat depends... depends on the quality of the grass installation and the skills of the groundskeepers. The NFL fields with the two highest injury rates are grass, will Highmark 2 be better than that? chart source: https://cronkitenews.azpbs.org/2024/09/05/nfl-field-surface-dilemma-concern-2024-season/
