Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen

How many NIL deals have you done or been a part of or read or seen anything about other than the news? Compliance has always existed, just because it's delloite who can torpedo the deal doesn't mean there hasn't always been someone who could torpedo the deal. What you are seeing now is SCHOOLS being able to offer money in addition to the collectives that were already going, and in many cases in lieu of the collective (many have been shuttered or combined with the internal AD) the reason a lot of the parity is happening now is because schools that didn't have their NIL shit together all of the sudden have millions to throw around. Its going to be terrible for them, they are going to mismanage rosters, overpay for players that aren't high enough impact, do really stupid shit to be part of the Joneses etc. Texas already has a machine, it has discipline, it has a roster retention plan, it has depth, and it has the resume for a program developing players into NFL players. -
The last part is why I feel we are more rooted in fascist Italy than Nazi Germany. We just have an actual military and industrial base that Italy never had.

I'm so pissed about all of it, man. I'm not one of those people that can easily unplug myself from the news, so it is just....a lot.

Bobby said this morning on Coffee and Football that Guervil went to Florida for seven figures. -
Speaking of Trump's America. Is it not just WILD the whipsaw and whiplash since January? It's been 6 months and feels like 2 years worth of events and rollercoasters. The fact that I woke up this week and our stock market is at an all time high just 3 months after tanking it with self-imposed tariff-sized gunshot wounds to tank the market, is absolutely nuts.

Pedo charges for ICE? Not likely to happen but would be hilarious

And it will work. Because people are fucking uninformed idiots that have no idea how anything works.

Yeah I think this is a fair assessment. As is this. Look, I'm not trying to shit on anyone here. Even though I am frequently abrasive, my main beef is with "liberal" politicians, not your average, every day liberal, and sometimes I am bad about conflating the two. People's beliefs are complex and often contradictory (myself included), and I am super sensitive to anti-Muslim rhetoric specifically because of hate I have personally seen directed at people I care about far too often. So when I see card-carrying liberals describe someone like Mamdani as "dangerous", I hope you can understand why my hackles get raised, so to speak.

All it would take is someone calling this theoretical candidate a "socialist" and no one would give a shit about their sports or pop culture takes. You're right that no one cares about policy, but still, everything has become political. We are in a culture and morality war that is rooted in a binary political choice. It sucks. I think we are past the point of this theory working. IMO things will just have to get so bad in this country that it's undeniable that Trumpism was a massive failure. To the point that people have no choice but to vote for the opposition party. You can't win the mouth breather vote until they feel a lot more pain. If we get to that point, better to have a candidate and administration that can legitimately govern instead of just re-arranging the deck chairs.

Heard this on the radio on the way to work this morning. Cam Newton's comments on Arch Manning. I don't normally enjoy hearing this guy speak or his opinions. I have to give him credit for this take. Well thought out and just makes so much sense:
-
I that’s a little charitable and this is more of a progressive versus liberal “everyone to the right of me is a fascist” thing.

Why? This is exactly what playing a shit team is good for, getting wins when you're not playing your best. We just won series against the Phillies and Cubs and next we take on the Dodgers. If we play well against those other three teams but take a breather with mediocre performance and still get our wins against the Rockies that's perfect.

Low 80s and rain, in July. Take it.

Listen here Mr Jabba the Hut you fat sloggily no good lazy bum of a quarterback!

I don't agree with everything you wrote but you're spot on with a more successful tactic. Appeal to people's emotions and then give them 1 or 2 simple talking points. The GOP has become very disciplined on their messaging. They hammer it home so even a casual viewer of news is aware of it. Let's say Dems want to raise taxes on billionaires. The tactic should be to repeat over and over that billionaires cheat on their taxes and the IRS is understaffed to enforce laws enacted by both sides. Say Bezos spent more on his wedding than he's ever paid in taxes for his entire life. Is Bezos going to produce his tax returns to refute that statement?

I'm pretty sure this is also fixed.

Wow, if we only had a religion thread.
