    everyone giving up on Bryce Young already, huh

    Would you rather have:

    Bryce Young, or

    Caleb Williams + DJ Moore + OT Darnell Wright + CB Tyrique Stevenson + 2024 2nd and 4th rounders?

    I’m going to go back and look at every mega trade for a first round QB to see what percent of them worked out vs busted

    I doubt anyone thinks that, though I do think he would have had a chance to do well in the Kubiak/Shanahan offense. The bigger problem was that the franchise had the chance to bring a jolt of energy and interest to what had been a terribly boring operation, and instead they chose…a DE from NC State.

    Exactly. HTown kid coming off of winning at the highest level previously. The Texans needed something to get people excited, but chose Mario fucking Williams instead. 

    I know he wasn't going to have some Tom Brady esque career playing under Jeff fucking Fisher.

    Let it go, Indiana. It’s been 18 years. The Texans get no credit for rejecting 100% of pundits and talking heads by not taking Reggie Bush. They said exactly what they were thinking: they’d be in a division with Peyton Manning for several more years, and saw Mario Williams as a possible Bruce Smith type DE to cause Indy trouble. 
    I love VY and wish they’d picked him. It’s possible things may have turned out better for him, but there’s no way to know that. You can’t put his NFL shortcomings, poor work ethic, bungling of jobs at UT, drinking and more recent issues, etc. all on the Texans.

    Nobody will care wtf they are wearing if they are playing in afc title and super bowl games.

    Yes, but it’s not an either/or. They could have bad ass uniforms AND win. 
     

    I think the home and road uniforms are an improvement (but far short of an H-town Blue jersey). The font is still stupid, why can’t they go with classic block font like most classic teams (Cowboys, Giants, 49ers, Chiefs, Raiders, Patriots, Packers, Bills, Browns, Colts, Saints, Dolphins)? Learn lessons from previous fails like several recent Falcons jerseys, the terrible Browns jerseys of 2010’s, Commanders, “new” Rams. Who would you like to be grouped with in the NFL world?

  4. WTF NFL why do you give a fuck about Amy Adams Seaskunk and the Nashville fanbase (who has no emotional tie to the Oilers but to troll Houston) over doing what everyone else in the football universe knows to be right and just?

    HTown Blue is not Columbia Blue. The trademark was Columbia + white + red. I’m no lawyer, but you’d think the addition of navy as a fourth color would make it novel, or that it is a different shade of blue. Grow some sack, Cal and Roger Goodell. 

  5. No comments 24 hours after the third to final episode probably sums up where this show it. I love Dave Filoni, but I also love to criticize his abundance of filler episodes in seasons with fewer episodes. If Clones Wars and Rebels have 20 episodes, sure burn 2 or 3 with side capers or suspenseful (slow developing) plot development. I’d summarize episode 313 like this and there’d be no reason someone who have to watch it:

    “Omega is still trapped in the basement of Tantiss base with other force sensitive kids and explores a droid shaft as a possible escape route. She doesn’t escape. Bad Batch dress Rampart in Impirial officer clothes, sneak onto a launch station above Coruscant to find the coordinates to Tantiss. They fail, so they latch onto a science ship headed there instead.”

    This all could’ve been act 1 of an episode instead of the entire episode. Two episodes left to resolve their fate, the M-count cloning program, and if the brought Ventress back for anything other than a cameo.

    That's not how it works. You have a ~5/100 chance 4 times, which is like 20/400, or 5% overall for the Nets pick. Rockets have a very slim chance of getting their pick upgraded, so it will likely be the 9th overall pick from the Nets and nothing else.  

    I’m pulling numbers off Tankathon, which is usually pretty accurate. NBA assigns teams a number of different number combinations based on how many losses they have. Houston owns the number combinations for their pick (until that combo is not in the top 4) and the number combinations for the Nets. So yes, the odds of #1 or a top 4 pick between the two are additive. If you want to get into the odds which one is top 4 and which one isn’t, you need to do some factorials.

    the football forum is more appropriate for his sendoff given his association with the rise of the local sports reporter as symbiotic with the franchise he (now he/she) covered

    When the core intent is not to inform the public, but to make money on advertisements it's not hard to see how perverse incentives can inevitably steer things in this direction. It'll take deaths from missing critical safety information like an impending tornado for anything to actually change

    Except it won’t change. Society jumped the shark of faux sensationalism sometime after the dawn of the internet. Every storm is the deadliest ever. Applies to everything, not just weather. Most people don’t take it seriously, but gotta get clicks from the people who do.

    Were kids in the 70s frequently sick or dying from unknown reasons that we just didn’t talk about? In twelve years with hundreds of kids, I can’t recall even a single mention of nut allergies. No warnings at school, no BOLOs at Halloween, not a peep. What the fuck happened?

    A lot of people say GMOs in wheat and other produce have triggered severe allergic conditions in people predisposed, but I like to think it’s nature punishing humans for veering too far from our carnivore roots. Nobody ever got a life threatening reaction to brisket or a ribeye in their shoe!

    Ryan Reynolds Reaction GIF

    5 years of rookie wage contract with potential star WR with no history of being a malcontent? Diggs having a 50-50 chance of melting down once he realizes he’s going to get less than 30% of the targets? Even if Diggs plays well, he’s a one year rental, I’d expect Mitchell or Worthy to be more than capable as WR3 with Tank, Nico, and Schultz. [this is all fan fiction. Caserio wouldn’t flip Diggs]

    Effectively they’d be trading the Vikings 2025 2nd rounder for this year’s #32. Chiefs wouldn’t do it unless they thought Diggs guaranteed them their 3 peat and they had to pay a premium because Buffalo wouldn’t trade him directly to them.
