  1. Always bet the under for season long player props no matter who it is.
  2. I wish they'd release the full financials so I'd have a better idea of where my opinion lies. I will say this. If they could market Clark, Reese, and I don't know anyone else they could have a shot at being a good long term investment. Even if they are losing money right now they had their best year ever (tv ratings, attendance, merchandise sale) and a lot of businesses take a lot of years to make a profit believing from the start it's a good long term investment. We'll see what happens if they actually do get substantially higher pay to see what the owners think. Clark and Reese are young so it's not like they're going away anytime soon.
  3. Colbert was better playing a fake conservative when the audience knew what it was getting with the Colbert Report. I think CBS wanted Stewart but knew he didn't want the job so Colbert was the next best option as they pulled in high ratings back to back. Especially since the audience for comedy central was younger than Letterman's. Colbert had no background as a standup comic so I don't know what CBS was expecting. He just went back to his bread and butter which was political satire making fun of the right. He just wasn't funny out of character so I stopped watching within a month or so. He had higher ratings than Kimmel and Fallon so he just stuck with it. It is funny seeing how freaked out liberals are because he was basically just a propaganda show for their party. Maybe the show just sucked in a dying industry and they were paying a guy $20m a year and losing $40m a year. Late night is a lumbering dinosaur anyways waiting for a knockout punch and that's why CBS is canceling the Late Show altogether.
  4. I agree but I think it's just as important for last year's picks to step up in Coleman, Bishop, and Carter. Davis was the only rookie drafted in the first four rounds that had any real impact.
  5. That's a really good one. I'd pry choose door 2 because the host knew their was nothing behind door #3. Unless you have a prick of a host.
  6. I don't quite get the argument either unless he's arguing that he's a much more complete player now. Which he is. He's answered all the critics who've questioned his passing prowess. He's improved at reading defenses, manipulating the pocket, his short and long yardage accuracy, and throwing the ball effectively outside the numbers. He's just got to do what Allen has to do and win a Super Bowl.
  7. Trump should've just buried it saying it would just cause more political division in our country. Mostly because for the selfish reason in I'm sick of hearing about it.
  8. When they introduced the rookie wage scale the union could've done a better job of negotiating % of guaranteed money by draft position. When the contract runs up the NFLPA if they're worth anything will have these rookie contracts set with no wiggle room by teams.
  9. That line of thinking means every draft pick every year sets a new precedent. It was a coordinated effort by 2nd round picks though but we're just talking semantics at this point.
  10. I doubt a TV show is going to move the needle on any financial decision Beane makes. I hope not at least.
  11. He'd pry go in the 40 to 50 range if the NFL had a five round WR draft for one season. I'd be thrilled if he gave us the same production as last year.
  12. I think everyone's signed through this year unless I'm missing someone.
  13. It was a weird hire from the start because all he knew was political satire geared to the left. Colbert was basically the MSNBC of late night and Gutfeld was the Fox News (literally) of late night. Both had higher ratings than Kimmel and Fallon so there's something to that strategy of targeting just one group of people. That was NBC you dolt.
  14. Two other 2nd rounders already got guaranteed contracts. It wouldn't have broken precedence.
  15. What's funny is them refusing to guarantee the whole contract. That extra $572k will be held over his head for four years?
  16. All I'll pry remember about him is Aaron Rodgers throwing him under the bus and the Jets trading him not too long after wasting a pick trading for Adams
  17. I never doubted they'd figure it out but didn't expect $108m guaranteed for three years. Taking advantage of Rodgers's rookie deal.
  18. You didn't even think they were going to arrest him. I get homerism but not to that extreme.
  19. PFF had Benford at 8th. I like PFF better now. Jaycee Horn doesn't belong on that list.
  20. It's not a lie. Now governors can make the paperwork people need to fill out to maintain their medicaid as confusing as possible. Work requirements have failed miserably in any state that's tried to implement it. Employment remained stagnant and the administrative costs of trying to enforce the policy costs the taxpayers money. They wanted to cut medicaid despite most campaigning that they wouldn't and that's there spin. In reality though, many will lose coverage and it's not hyperbole when I say it will cost both medical bankruptcy and lives in some circumstances.
