prospect challenge games are live on YouTube right now

Yes, the Eagles are 2-0 but IMO they don’t belong in the same conversation (at least right now) as the 49ers and Cowboys, who both dominated week one. I haven’t been impressed by the eagles offense at all so far the first 2 games of this season. Their defense has looked good and they’ve been pretty darn lucky with turnovers. But their offense has looked nothing like last season so far IMO. I think Hurts looks pedestrian. I think the play calling has been questionable. Their passing game has been mediocre at best. They were able to run the ball last night. But week one they were lucky to even win against the patriots. They really didn’t do that much outside of those 2 turnovers early in the game. check out the stats on the eagles offense through 2 games: https://www.nfl.com/teams/philadelphia-eagles/stats It’s way too soon to say which conference will be the toughest this season anyway. The first weeks of the NFL season are always unpredictable. The eagles do have a new OC too, so I’m sure they are going through some growing pains. I expect their offense to play better as the season goes on.

That State Farm commercial with Andy Reid was great.

It was reported that there was an investigation by the NFL into the claim. They talked to everyone at the dinner and nobody remembered him saying that. https://x.com/kfitz134/status/1701645969090081021?s=61&t=mvFwLU5P2NuqNnOmVpYtwg Also, the person who filed this complaint and was continually following up on it (Trotter) was not the same person who supposedly heads Pegula say this. He filed his complaint based on 2nd hand info. So his persistence doesn’t mean much as far as whether Pegula said it or not. edit: from the article: so the comment was supposedly made in 2018, and the reporter brought it up on a zoom call in 2020. 🤷‍♂️

https://www.nfl.com/news/chris-jones-new-one-year-deal-with-chiefs-worth-up-to-25-million-kansas-city-has Deal is worth up to $25 million. Looking at the incentives, unless he’s injured he should easily hit the first 2, making the contract likely worth at least $21.5M. He might be able to hit the 10 sack incentive, which would push the contract value up to $22.75M. The last $3.5M in incentives will be harder to hit and depend more on the chiefs as a whole. Chiefs also retain the ability to tag him. So he’s really not getting that much more.

So it was already investigated, both Terry and Kim denied that he ever said it and nobody else at the dinner remembered Terry saying it either.

But he’s not claiming Pegula said this to him. The lawsuit claims some other unidentified reporter claimed that Pegula said it to him/her and that unidentified reporter repeated it to Trotter.

That is what I thought at first. But re-reading it, I think they are claiming that the comment was said to one reporter and that reporter repeated it on the zoom meeting.

Holy crap.

Man, Josh… 🤦‍♂️

Offense hasn’t been bad but it just doesn’t seem to be fully clicking yet. But they do have a bunch of new guys this year. 3 new starting linemen. 2 new starting WR’s. New rookie TE starting. New RBs. Hopefully it’ll come together though.

Great play by Milano but he can’t taunt like that afterwards. Dumb flag.

Bills defense still susceptible to big runs. 🤬 Come on. Hold ‘em to a field goal!

Offense definitely not clicking quite yet. Hopefully they improve as the game goes on.

What in the **** was that Allen?! He could’ve easily scrambled for a first.

Saleh is lucky the refs stopped him from wasting a challenge. Seems a bit unfair. If he doesn’t know the rules that’s on him.

I am wondering the same thing myself. I don’t know what it means by “select plus subscribers”. I can’t figure out what package that is. I went to the spectrum site and I don’t see a package called “select plus”. I have the TV select package and I added on the sports package and the premium movie channel package. I’m hoping that means I have select plus. I’ll try to remember to let you know once I figure it out. Feel free to send me a private message in a few days if I forget.

A local 49ers beat reporter said that according to a team source the Bills made an offer and the cowboys beat it. https://www.si.com/nfl/bills/news/buffalo-bills-trey-lance-trade-offer-rumors-dallas-cowboys-san-francisco-niners-josh-allen-backup-quarterbacks

Hey, thanks for the tip! I just grabbed peacock premium free for a year through spectrum. 😁

Bengals QB Joe Burrow wants to keep him and WRs Tee Higgins, Ja'Marr Chase together: 'We're working to make that happen' https://sports.yahoo.com/bengals-qb-joe-burrow-wants-to-keep-him-and-wrs-tee-higgins-jamarr-chase-together-were-working-to-make-that-happen-204120421.html So much for that… lol

I am not by any means trying to argue that Mike Brown is an intelligent owner. I’d say he’s near the bottom of the list of good owners. But I guess I’m just failing to see how you think Burrows contract hurts Mike Brown’s bottom line, or why you think this makes him insane? Besides having to guarantee the money, I would say it’s a big win for Mike Brown’s pocket book. The Bengals are quickly becoming a popular national team with Burrow at QB and have made the AFC championship game twice and the super bowl once in burrow’s 3 years as the starter. That’s more revenue for Mike Brown. I would say he is making more profit by paying Burrow, considering how much he’s already helped the bengals popularity and playoff revenue. And what was his alternative? Refuse to guarantee Burrow the market rate, tag him twice and let him walk? Why would they do that to their beloved star franchise QB who wants to spend his entire career in Cincinnati?

Ok, say he didn’t use any tricks or deductions and paid the full 24% federal tax rate + 4% Ohio tax rate (which seems unlikely since multi millionaires often only pay a small fraction of that) - he’d still have made about $270 million last year from the bengals. So, still as much as Burrow will make over the next 5 years. And NFL profits continue to rise almost every year. So Brown will probably make more than 5x what Burrow will over that 5 year span. So the owner of one of the least profitable NFL teams (2nd least iirc) is making 5x more than the highest paid NFL player. All of this is kind of missing the point of my post though. There is a salary cap ceiling/floor and every team spends a similar amount of total money on players every season. The cap is tied to NFL profits and each team has to spend a percentage of the cap every season. So if they give one massive deal and 52 tiny ones, they’re still spending a similar amount of money to other teams.
