I'm not at all sure how to feel about this game. Georgia did lose Ladd McConkey and Brock Bowers (who I believe has the potential to be as good as or better than Kelce) to the draft. That is a lot to lose but they are still completely stacked with talented players. Let's face it, UGA is a powerhouse, fantastic team. Their great RG is out, but my guess is that they will just replace him with another monster. Kirby is a flat out sensational coach and possibly an even better recruiter.
Alabama has a great ground attack, they are 5 deep at tight end, and have excellent receivers. The OL is fine. QB? I wish I could say that I fully trust Milroe but I do not. He is slow to make decisions at times and has taken sacks when he could have ran for huge yardage. Milroe is a sensational runner but he really isn't the best scrambler. He has plenty of wide receivers but the big story is freshman Ryan Williams. Yeah, 28 receptions/285 yds./28.5 yds. per reception/ 4 TDs. Sounds good, right?
He is 17 YEARS OLD!!!! I really do hope that he stays healthy.
Oh, and I wish Nick Saban was still on the sidelines.
In any event, this should be a wonderful game for folks who truly do appreciate college football. I hope that no player on either team suffers an injury.
ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

How many are betting on games in some way right now and not getting caught?Good question. I'm also not sure how much they want to catch the star players, if at all.
-
The NFL is far more concerned with The KC Swifties making the Super Bowl than it is with betting.

Considering how much $$ some of these other jokers are making per year, how much will JA17 be making per year when he signs a new contract / renegotiated present contract?
80 mil per year? the way QB contracts are trending, doesn’t seem out of range, but crazy none the less.
When you put it like this, it really is amazing. I suppose in the not so far away future there will be billionaire quarterbacks. I'm not angry about this mind you. It really doesn't matter to me, but it's kinda hard to wrap my head around billionaire quarterbacks.

Well, I'm on my way
To the city lights
To the pretty face
That shines her light on the city nights
And I gotta catch a noon train
I gotta be there on time
Oh, it feels so good to know she waits at the end of the lineSweet, sweet city woman
I can see your face, I can hear your voice
I can almost touch you
Sweet, sweet city woman
And the banjo and me, we got a feel for singing, yeah, yeah -
And there you are,
Saying we have the moon, so now the stars,
When all you see
Is near disaster gazing down on you and me,
And there you're standing,
Saying we have the whole world in our hands,
When all you'll see,
Deep inside the world's controlling you and me
You'll see perpetual change
You'll see perpetual change -

They've been 1a and 1b for almost 5 years now, with Mahomes maintaining a slight edge.
But Josh Allen has passed Patrick Mahomes and is currently the best QB on planet Earth.
That is all.
I am still amazed watching Allen play. He really is perhaps the most gifted QB in NFL history. He makes difficult passes look easy with his combination of touch, placement, and of course arm strength.
I hope that I live long enough to see him inducted into the HOF.

I hear what you’re saying but I’ll judge the ***** out of him. If someone is paying you what he’s getting, get over whatever you are or aren’t feeling and live up to your end of the bargain.And I hear what you are saying but imo, scenes like this will only increase. Now, college players are driving around in Porsches. Many players will not let it affect them but I think that an increasing number of them will go wild with all of that money. Some of these kids will make more in college than I made in my entire life, and I'm not starving. But ya know, good for them. Many of them will spend the rest of their lives in pain, and they are super talented people.
I tend to forsee many more problems like Dashaun down the road, but this could also be me being pessimistic.
-
Deshaun is probably an example of a player who is no longer hungry.
I am of the opinion that not every player who is in their twenties and riding around in a Porsche with a million cash in his pocket will be hungry enough to play professional football. Watson was great at Clemson. Dabo still talks about him. Some players that have this much money seem to lose their motivation.
I'm not judging them either. Put me in that position at that age and I would rather not be sacked by Von Miller or some human missle safety on a blitz. I also would not want to take a punch from Mike Tyson. Nope, I'm sure that in my twenties I would rather hang out til all hours, party with the hottest women on the planet, and wake up when I feel like it.
My guess is that plenty of teams are going to eat tons of cap space in the future after getting stuck with players who are rich and no longer care, especially given the size of these QB contracts. Dak Prescott might make more money per year than some owners.

Doubtful. He’ll most likely be in protective or isolated from most of the others. He also has money or access to money. Not hard to pay others for protection.
So was Epstein.
When the big boys really want you ain't looking good my friend. Look at what is going on today, and btw, I doubt if Ghislaine Maxwell lasts much longer. Do you think she will live long enough to write a tell all book? I'm surprised they didn't get to her yet tbh.

My guess is that one of three things will happen:
1) He will ahem "commit suicide" in prison or be coincidently be murdered.
2) He will go to trial and buy his way into an aquittal.
3) His lawyers will tell him that he is sure to lose and he will talk and name names, and I do mean prominent names.
My guess is #2. He is said to have big time political and Hollywood connections.
What say you?

I don’t know. Those teams are back in the top 5 again. The elite of the elite will remain elite in the portal/nil era. Texas will be good for the forseeable future. There will be others that come and go but those programs won’t allow themselves to become Nebraska.
Agreed, especially wrt Texas. They seem to have unlimited money, and Sarkisian is a GREAT coach. I consider him to be one of the great offensive minds in all of football, college and pros.
Btw, the Arch Maning mania is quite premature imo. If Ewers doesn't come back, I don't expect Texas to win the title.
Jmo.

After the very good draft of 2001, productive drafts for us were few and far between. A case can be made that our next productive draft came in 2017, and even at that McDermott traded away the pick for Mahomes.
2009 was decent but remember, this was the year that they foolishly traded away Jason Peters, a GREAT LT.
Gilmore and Glenn were productive players in the 2012 draft, but they missed out on the QBs that were named above. Other than that, it's hard (at least for me) to find a Bills draft to get excited about pre 2017.
I don't think that many young fans know how much we suffered during the drought years.

EJ was a terrible QB for us, but he is very good and informative on the Sirius College Sports Channel, and sounds like a smart, nice guy.

Come Saturday morning
I'm goin' away with my friend
We'll Saturday-spend 'til the end of the day-ay
Just I and my friend
We'll travel for miles in our Saturday smiles
And then we'll move on
But we will remember
Long after Saturday's gone

I think that the Lions are great. I picked them before the season to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. They should win easily imo.

They say that all good things must end someday
Autumn leaves must fallBut don't you know that it hurts me so
To say goodbye to you?
Wish you didn't have to go
No, no, no, noAnd when the rain beats against my window pane
I'll think of summer days again
And dream of you -
Damar did nothing wrong at all. Tua was wrong to even be on the field. He should retire and live his life.

100%. His contract has huge money protected against injury. So when the time comes and he walks away it will go like this:
Tua: I want to play footbal.
Doctor: Yeah...I can't clear you to do that.
Tua: Ah shucks. Guess I will go home then. (Profit)Good for him. He didn't put a gun to anybody's head to give him that huge contract.

Eddie George, for my money, is the most overrated "great" player of all time. The man averaged 3.6 YPC for his CAREER and only averaged over 4 YPC twice in his career, both barely at 4.1...people confuse his college career with his pro career.
I also place Curtis Martin in the class of a "statistics compiler." I am NOT saying that he wasn't very good, because he was. I just think that his greatest asset was endurance.
Of course, jmo.

Sly look that we keep the promise, ladies
And make me get off
Take it from girls with our imagination
So we can get off
Call me up at your place, I can love you crazy
In the heat you will understand
Danger and excitement, that's what makes a lady

Here is a Hall of Fame LB. It took him forever to get inducted. I was very young when he played but I always thought that he was great. He was one of the best LBs I ever saw play, easily in the top 10 imo.

Not really under the radar but Davonta Smith. He's not the biggest or the fastest wr, but he is spectacular.
What he could do with Josh Allen throwing to him is unthinkable.

That would be a very bad, dangerous move. Prices are extremely high. Crime is WAY up (in spite of the phony stats). You will pay city income tax, and owning a car will be very costly. Parking alone might cost well into the thousands per year. Illegal aliens are camping out on the streets and preying on citizens, to include violent crimes. NYC is a sanctuary city. Wrt air travel, Pro Palestinian protesters have chosen airports as their place to demonstrate and delay air traffic.
Oh, and the mayor and most of his to aides are on their way to jail.
Other than the above, moving to NYC is a great idea.
