  1. IIRC there's also a dead money hit in 2025 if they don't re-sign Dak. Not as punitive as Russell Wilson at Denver but it's significant.
  2. r/AFCNorthMemeWar has a few more:
  3. they should be going for it every time but old habits are hard to break.
  4. it's lowest risk with a guaranteed outcome. it's why teams kept kicking the ball out of the end zone in the first place. also, teams would have to allocate practice time to prepare to do that. you only have to practice returns in the event a team actually kicks to you. Much easier to just gameplan to defend from the 30 every time. However, if a team were to try to maximize field position the best option IMHO is get good enough at squib kicks that they roll into the end zone away from the returner. Since there are no touchbacks the returner has to bring it out or else it's a safety. That would be the most aggressive play.
  5. get ready for every drive to start at the 35. NFL head coaches are so risk averse and resistant to change that they'll just give teams the additional 15 yards. remember the NFL moved the XP line back for kicks to encourage teams to go for 2. so of course NFL head coaches kept kicking instead.
  6. Keep in mind there's a reason most of these teams are drafting early and it isn't because they make good decisions. Chicago is kind of the exception thanks to that ridiculous trade with Carolina. I have a feeling we'll be seeing the Panthers picking early for many years to come.
  7. Rubin was wrong - he can get a loan from a NY-based lender. The challenge is the size of the bond itself and his lack of collateral to back it. Even this reduced bond will be difficult for him to post.
  8. good grief what a word salad. anyway the appeals court's ruling likely indicates that they are going to reduce the amount of the judgment. I believe @TwiceHorn has mentioned this. and as I said earlier he struggled to get the $93 million bond for Carroll so I'm skeptical that he'll be able to get this one even with the additional time. He just doesn't have that much money. also, I think if a foreign agent was willing to float the cash then he'd have posted the bond already.
  9. Remember that he struggled to even get the bond for the Carroll case - is he really going to be able to get a $175 million bond? He doesn't currently have the money IMHO. This isn't much of a help.
  10. you haven't had to do anything "against the odds" kid. you've had all of the advantages - at least economically.

    Be honest - y’all didn’t expect this after that Jamaica abortion.
