  1. +1 on classic Pats, Dolphins, Rams, Falcons, Chargers being permanent. I don’t know who runs these team marketing departments over the decades. The weird fonts and shapes of the 90s and 2000s needs to Diaf and never return as future retro. The Falcons all black of the 90s wasn’t bad and was a refresh of the (better) reds. The late Vick and Matt Ryan versions were vomit worthy. Fuck Adam Adams Seaskunk, her dead father Bud, and the raccoon that lived on his scalp. I hope the Texans play trademark hardball with them when they release the new color scheme in a few month, and that the new “H-town blue” is indistinguishable from the old Columbia blue. Seriously, how does anyone (including Nashville people) support what is nothing more than trolling Houston Oiler fans? There are no oil workers or oil industry in Tennessee. No one there gives a fuck about Earl Campbell, Bum Phillips, Warren Moon, etc. She is just being an ultra cunt. Roger Goodell should piss on her face and award the Oilers nickname to Houston.
  2. He was going to get a multi year deal at $20M+ on the open market? The Giants considered not even giving him the 5th year of his rookie deal because of injuries. The highest paid RB makes $16.5 (McCaffery). The current franchise tag would make Barkley the 6th highest paid RB for 2023. The $14/yr extension that he rejected from the Giants would’ve made him #3 in annual dollars. This is the guy who has had injuries and last year ran for 1300 yards and 8 TDs? What happened to “don’t hate the player, hate the game”? RBs aren’t as valuable today as generations past and carry a higher injury risk for a team that would be offering guaranteed money. The players, through the NFLPA, approve every labor deal and the franchise tag has been part of that. It’s business…the owners would probably be willing to abolish franchise tags but the players would have to give up something too. I’m not shedding any tears for Barkley that he would only make $10+m for a year (or prorated down if he only want to play the minimum qualifying number of games) before hitting free agency. Carry on, white knights of NFL RBs.
  3. When your company starts culling the herd, you’d think you might want to step up your appearance and performance to hang around as long as possible. Or you can be like Dan Orlovsky and do a segment looking like you just woke up on morning #3 of a Las Vegas boys trip.
  4. Die Hard was released in July? My brain hurts. You got any aspirins?
  5. If “car washes” include a swirlie, this dude looks like the type that catches a lot of them. 🚽 🌪️
  6. 20-30 years ago, we knew more about other teams and players on those teams because we were forced to watch SportsCenter on loop just waiting for the 30 second highlight of our own team. Now you just follow your team(s) on apps with on demand video clips. ESPN’s attempts to fill the tv void with commentary have been a failure.
  7. How much insurance cash do they get on his $12m? Enough to buy Ohtani right? 😂
  8. Second and third wives don’t count unless they pay for their own seats.
  9. I thought the same thing. Throw up some posts and chicken wire, and invest about $10 in chicks from Callahans.
  10. Meanwhile Jalen Green is banging Josh Christopher. Can we still trade Green for Jaylen Brown or Dame or somebody?
  11. People will eventually stop watching when the movies are comprised only of Marvel heroes’ kids, siblings, understudies, etc. It’s not worth it just to continue this universe’s storyline. They should finish this off quick, shift to X-men, then just reboot Avengers in a decade with a new, younger cast. They’re gonna need a new Spiderman too since making one movie a year for $10m and banging Zendaya has put Tom Holland’s mental health at stake and he needs a break.
  12. I have never received a complimentary breakfast and think they should change their name to airB
  13. If my wife is straggling behind with the kids or a cart, I have to tell the door monitor “they’re with me” like it’s an exclusive night club.
  14. The maths work out like: Started with $60.9m cap space Signed FVV ($43.3m/yr), Brooks ($20m/yr), Aussie backup center from PHX ($8m/yr). [~$71.3m/yr total against the $60.9 cap space] Traded away KJ Martin, TyTy, Garuba for rights to old euro dude who will never play.
  15. “Because they had to spend it” is lazy and not a reason to be wasteful. They had to spend around $40m to get to the salary cap floor, and FVV’s contract basically did that. If they wanted Dillon Brooks and had to overpay, that’s fine it’s just an unprovable argument of did they have to give him 4/$80m. In two years, Green and Sengun need resigning. There’s a not small chance Dillon Brooks sucks by then and still has 2 yrs/$35m (? unknown descending value contract). The next year Smith and Eason need more money. The only cap room to sign a free agent will be FVV coming off the books.
  16. Rockets overpaid for second tier point guard Fred Van Vleet at tune of 3 yrs $130m. Had to overpay to get him but who knows if that much. At least third year is a team option. Hopefully he makes the offense better and helps develop the young guys. Drastically overpaid for Dillon Brooks (4 yrs for $80m). Had to overpay, but probably could’ve got him for something closer to 3 yrs $50m. I thought we had like $60m in cap space to sign guys outright, but apparently did the Brooks deal as a sign and trade with Memphis so we will give up some assets. Hopefully his defense runs off on the young guys. We did not offer to overpay enough to Brook Lopez and he resigned with Bucks for 2 yrs $48m. Confusing that we couldnt have overpaid Dillon Brooks quite as much and put a little more in the offer to Lopez. As some kind of backup plan, we signed a backup Aussie big man from the Suns. We gave KJ Martin to the Clippers for two 2nd round picks. We offloaded TyTy Washington and Garuba to the Hawks plus gave them two 2nd rounders and $1.1m cash for their trouble (received some euro dude’s rights who will never play in the NBA) Rockets are part of some multi team trade that sent Patty Mills from Brooklyn to us then to OKC, and no word why we were even involved of what we give up or get back.
  17. I also have had generally favorable interactions with CSU folks similar to OKSt., KSU, and ISU. Fort Collins beer game is strong too.
  18. Sounds great for Houston, except they signed Brooks for defense culture. If Herro + Robinson + picks from MIA wasn’t enough for Portland, if we took Herro out of a multi-team deal what would be inserted for more value than Herro? You think Portland wants KPJ and Tate more than they’d want Herro?
  19. This feels like another classic case of a Houston team bidding against themselves. FVV is top 3 of a bad FA class. He has been making $21M a year. Who out there was offering him close to $40M per year? Plus all the income tax savings that most professional athletes seem to ignore when picking or snubbing Texas teams. At least it’s only two years. Hopefully none of the young guys get pissy and start locker room drama when FVV is pulling down over $40 and the 6 first round guys from the past 3 drafts make like $38M combined.
  20. “The Clippers and Heat are expected to emerge in this process for (James) Harden, I’m told. “ I see what he did there.
