  1. Jets overpaid. They were bidding against themselves and Green Bay needed to move him or face a mega cap hit.
  2. They are getting the Jets 2nd this year and probably the Jets first rounder next year, in addition to swapping firsts this year.
  3. If it’s a 9 game SEC schedule, they have to make the 5th home game every other year be the “home” team in Dallas, otherwise the “home” team would only have 4 conference home games and only 3 in their actual stadium. That would give UT and OU 4 true home games per year. Even if all 3 OOC games were at home, that would only be 7. In the opposite scenario where the road team in Dallas had 5 home games at their stadium, plus 3 OOC at home, you could have 8. But that means the odd years when Dallas counts as one of your 4 home games, you’d only have 3 at DKR + 3 OOC = 6 home games. I don’t think there’s a permanent method for 8 home games at DKR annually under a 9 game SEC schedule. If it was an 8 game conference schedule, you could do 4 home OOC games and 4 conference home games to get to 8; but that will only be when you are the road team in Dallas. The home team in Dallas would only have 7 games at their stadium. Conclusion: if you went home only for OOC, you will either alternate 6/8 true home games per year, or have 7 every year, or alternate 7/8 per year. CDC is high.
  4. You’re right, I was thinking of a different player and got them mixed up by the final year of contract. Point stands, as you made it. The only upside for Tennessee is if Henry is running pissed off hoping for his next contract. But if the Titans aren’t competitive, what was the point of one final hood season when they could get some future draft capital for him.
  5. If the goal is to win the SEC (which should guarantee a playoff spot), playing another power in non-conference should help improve the team more than playing 3 cupcakes. Bama and the other SEC big dogs commonly have some premium OOC matchup to start the year. In 2005, several UT players credited the tough game at Ohio State in helping them be who they were come OU and USC. Losing to a UM/USC/Ohio St/Penn St/ND does not impact our SEC championship odds, and the experience could improve the odds.
  6. Who’d have thought he’d end up with 10 kids?
  7. They are likely going to tank as soon as they get a couple losses. Henry’s already mad to be playing on his 5th year option salary and wants an extension. If they get a 2nd or 3rd round pick for him, it’s probably a win for 2024 and forward.
  8. FIFY. But I don’t really give a shit until they show they’ve overcome being idiots, at least on the BoB/Easterby level of idiocy. My personal preference rank for #2 is: 1. Trade down with Stroud-loving team for great assets 2. Pick Will Anderson 3. Trade down a couple spots and get something less than amazing 4. Pick Stroud or Levis, coin flip 5. Pick Tyree Wilson (frequently injured and missed games, couldn’t even make combine or Tech pro day) These morons will pick Wilson or Levis.
  9. Apparently Stroud scored an 18/100 on the S2 sports real time cognitive test, while most of the other QBs were above 70. Unfortunately for him it fits the narrative that Ohio St QBs put up stats due to the system and having superior WRs playing against Big10 DBs. His Georgia game may have been an outlier more than turning the corner, and/or Ryan Day and staff had an amazing game plan and Stroud threw where they told him. I wouldn’t take any of them (beside Young) at #2, but would take Stroud or Levi’s at #12 (or 8-11 if the trade up from 12 didn’t cost much). Would not take “AR15” or Hooker in the first round. The Texans roster is still so devoid of talent, they need players that could be great but have a high floor with their first rounders. Aggy guard has not met that standard, and they only have 2 more Cleveland picks left to help jump start the rebuild.
  10. Ironically they’d probably make more money and definitely have a better product if they went back to the 90s/2000s model of 90% highlights on SportsCenter and replayed the hour program a couple times, and not have to pay fake celebrities to be talking heads yelling over manufactured drama.
  11. Even the black helmet with a red bird you can hardly see? The Edmonton Eskimos became the Elks? This aggression will not stand, man.
  12. Yeah he had full size clones. Also, we never saw “him” DIAF. This season had less happen and a bit of a Temple of Doom feel (asking “did this actually impact anything?”). We got two episodes on space pirates that did nothing but offer one mission for Bo Katan to work with the cultists. We had the cloning nerd rehab on Coruscant episode, but wiping his mind (and everything related the covert lady boy haircut stooge and Tim Meadows) are now seemingly moot since Gideon and his clones are “dead” and his secret base was destroyed. Grogu got no further along as a Jedi. He got to play Krang sitting in his robot body for a bit but then that IG-12 thing got destroyed. The Mythosaur never came out of the pond. Thrawn was teased but never shown. S3 summary: - Bo Katan gained respect of Armorer and her cult, then regained dark saber from Din Djarin, then got other Mando bounty hunter faction to follow her again. - Moff Gideon was trying to make dark force wielding clones of himself, but he and they are now dead. - Paz Vizla died by a couple red dudes Rey will later destroy. - Mandos ran Imperials out of the caverns of Mandalore and retook the planet. - Mando got himself a little piece of land for him and his boy to live on peacefully - No Jedi (except Jar Jar Binks dude), no Ahsoka, no Ghost crew, no Thrawn, no OT characters. This season could have been summarized in an email.
  13. It was Grogu. He’s a double secret agent in the deep state Empire.
  14. Yeah…Gus installed her prior to S1 when he thought Project Grogu Blood was a done deal, had no idea who Din Djarin was, and had no reason to see Bo Katan as a threat anymore. What was the point, to keep tabs on 20 or so random Mandos living in the sewers of Navarro? What was the upside to the Armorer in turning on her cult, to get to live in a sewer on Navarro, be paid in Imperial Credits that are no good, and one day retire and maybe get some glass-front property on New Mandalore?
  15. Q2. Will you avoid banging other front office people’s wives while you’re here?
  16. At least two; between the Ahsoka, Darth Vader, and Darth Maul round robin in ‘Twilight of the Apprentice’ and the conclusion of ‘Twin Suns.’ Those are up there with the final 4 episodes of Clone Wars S7 as the best content in Star Wars, animated or not. Were you including the World Between Worlds or the finale episode? Someone get ‘Stache a cheat guide of which essential episodes to watch in Rebels like they have for Clone Wars S1-6.
  17. Lot more smoke about Texans passing on Stroud at #2 and looking at trade down options (Raiders #7, Atlanta #8, Titans #11, Washington #16, Tampa #19, and Vikings #24 all interested in QB). Fan fiction trade: Texans trade #2 to Tennessee for #11, 2024 first round pick, and rights to Oilers name/logo/colors. Texans at #11&12 get two players like Lukas Van Ness, Jalen Carter if he slides, WR#1, OT#2, CB#2; they’d have 3 first round picks next year to get a QB, and Luv Ya Blue returns to Houston.
  18. It’s hard to say. There’s always teams expected to be good that crap the bed, and bad teams (that benefit from easier schedule) that jump up to mediocrity. Who is expected to be bad in 2023 and end up with the top picks? Washington, Indianapolis, Arizona, Atlanta, Tampa, Carolina, Green Bay if they tank post-Rodgers? Denver if they suck again? Houston could be in that mix and still in the bottom 5 or at least bottom 10. Carolina will have a QB. Arizona has Kyler, and Indy will likely commit to a QB soon (hopefully Richardson or Lamar Jackson). Atlanta may end up taking a QB at #8 this year. In a perfect scenario, Deshaun gets his dick broke off by a Cleveland instagram masseuse and the Browns go 3-14, giving Houston #1 overall.
  19. Part of the Texans’ curse is the unavailability of slam dunk QBs when they have a top pick. David Carr was the undisputed top QB in 2002 and the Texans went QB over Julius Peppers. In 2006 nobody had VY or Leinert over Bush, but in retrospect that entire top 10 was mediocre professionally and the Texans may have got it right with Mario Williams but none were great. In 2014 Clowney was the obvious pick and the best QB was JFF (does TexAgs hate the Texans for passing on JFF the same way Surly piles on for not picking VY?). This year we get undersized Young, Stroud with low reaction score and unimpressive performance except for one game vs UGA, Neanderthal meathead looking dude Levis, and inaccurate but super freak athlete Richardson. Never a Luck or Lawrence, or even Burrow or Stafford, when the Texans are at the top.
  20. Armorer could be a spy, but the other dudes on the boat were definitively spies. They survived the purge and have been living there 20 years while Gideon built and used an underground fortress there? GTFO
  21. Filoni stole that shit from an episode of Bluey.
  22. Missing on #1 would hurt, but the difference between #2 and #3 isn’t as big a deal (Scoot vs Miller) as it was assumed a couple months ago. Anything else sucks after the 3 years of tanking. Yes, getting a veteran PG should have the most impact on youth development and wins next season. Drafting Scoot would be nice, but still probably need a free agent PG. ”wtf are we talking about” is HtownHorn’s giant boner for signing Harden who will go into pre-retirement mode of getting fat and stripper life, while on the court he’ll chuck up shots like when he was playing Morey ball here. Harden is likely the “best” free agent Houston could sign, but almost certainly not best ROI on a new contract and could delay development of the young players we tanked to get.
  23. He missed 24 games this season, and you would be putting him back in Houston where he expects to skip practice for day trips to Cabo and hits up the strip clubs when he stays home.
  24. Signing Harden to a max deal seems more likely to destroy whatever they’ve done than to become a team that competes for championships. If he came back, it signals he values living here/strip clubs more than winning. He’s not nearly as good as he used to be, is 4 years older, and initiated the divorce by pouting in a fat suit when all the trades he forced turned out to be fails. Is it possible he morphs into Obiwan Kenobi and guides the young stars? I guess, but better odds he tries to be ball dominant and Green, Smith, Sengun, and 2023 pick stand around and wait to see if James ever passes them the ball. Also James introduces the young stars to that Treasures life and Sengun gets shanked by a pimp.
  25. Damn straight on your edit. “Somehow, Palpatine has returned…again. To be granted release from Force Pergatory, Luke teaches Rey that the true cause of the Jedi downfall was toxic masculinity. She must establish a female-only Jedi order, and struggles with the status of trans and non-binary padawans. Finn finally gets laid, but it’s with Poe Dameron.”
