  1. The Celtics camped on those Nets picks years ago and it turned them into a perennial contender. The Rockets traded Harden and sucked for 2+ years to get Jalen, Jabari, Amen, and the Nets (now Suns) picks. I wouldn't give the draft assets up for a 36 y.o. KD. If the Suns want to reset their franchise and clear KD's 2025-2026 salary from the books, they could take on FVV's expiring contract and get one of our promising young players (Jabari or Cam?). Those draft picks could turn into one or more studs at a time when Houston may be entering salary cap hell between Jalen, Sengun, Amen, etc.
  2. Unlike coaches like Sark, Andy Reid adapts to the defensive changes as the game goes on. If you really want to mess them up, you have to mix up your strategies every quarter if not every possession. Spy on Mahomes vs. spy on who is the hot target; man vs. zone; blitz vs. fake blitz. We have athletes on defense. Can our offense score more than 14 in frigid KC with Nico as the only viable receiving threat and run game that has gone to shit?
  3. Outlook not good for CDC keeping Mack distanced from the football program, if not our athletic department. The official Texas Longhorns facebook account highlighted Mack attending the home basketball game last week, and the demographic that follows and posts on facebook was 95% pro-Mack. Hopefully CDC doesn't take that response as the consensus among all Texas alumni and fans. I assume mostly casual or t-shirt fans only associate Mack with 2005 and have selective amnesia about the record vs. OU, lack of CCs and BCS, and the events surrounding his departure.
  4. Would be funny if it was Anakin’s light saber and this was part of the story of how it ended up with Maz Kanata.
  5. I heard there was a video on social media from a couple weeks ago where Deshaun was dancing up a storm at a club. Did he re-tear it doing social activities?
  6. I hope someone did this to our OL and DL players
  7. And her surly handle is ThatGuy
  8. He could be a Kanan Jarrus who fell in with a group of pirates.
  9. Don’t know why this post irritated me. I guess I’ve always thought Super Bowls is a flukey metric for greatness vs. looking at a team or player’s winning percentage. The Lions and Browns have never even played in a Super Bowl game. The Bengals, Bills, Titans, Chargers, Falcons, and Cardinals have never won one. Does that render them all shittier than the Raiders? And a perennial 9-7 dude Eli Manning is rolling around with two rings. The Raiders presently suck because they hired Mike Mayock as GM a few years ago, who drafted like a fantasy fanboi. One player who was a hit went to jail for murder. They jettisoned their 8-8/9-7 guy Derek Carr and got much worse at QB. They let Josh Jacobs go and traded Davonte Adams for a fraction of what they gave for him. They shouldn’t have caved after the Gruden email leak. Franchise is a mess though.
  10. Tangentially related to bowl travel: lots of folks in Pedo State gear at IAH this morning.
  11. RIP to Dwight’s penis getting cut on the lip of the soda can.
  12. He still has the neck of Merton Hanks
  13. I don’t watch the Titans much and didn’t realize how terrible Will Levis is. Kinda sweet to see Sweat in an Oilers uniform.
  14. Most episodes of all these Star Wars Disney+ series seem to be about 10 minutes too short. We wait two years for the next installment, and get 6-8 short episodes. [exception IMO is Andor and a few Mandalorian episodes]

    Bert!

    We should bring in another kicker next season regardless of the next game(s), but it wouldn't surprise me if we had a Rodney Terry situation where you "have to" bring him back if he makes a clutch kick in the championship game.
  16. We’re just cheering for multiple second half targeting ejections now, right?

    Bert!

    It would be a sign of making an effort if he rolled out in Cotton Bowl with a buzz cut. Might actually be enough to reboot his psyche.
  18. The haircut is pretty on point for Guy Gardner, but why is he like 60 years old???
  19. NFL coaches have contracts, and if they attempt to move there is required compensation (e.g. Belichick with Jets, Gruden with Raiders, Payton with Saints). NFL players have contracts (yes they can hold out or demand trades, but the latest CBA stiffened penalties on holdouts, and the players will lose pay). NCAA coaches have contracts as well. None of these 3 groups are free to quit on their team midseason and go hunting for the highest bidder. The current state of NCAA player free agency could use revision (make direct pay or NIL as multi year contracts, bring back the rule of sitting out a year if you transfer, limiting players to one transfer per 4 years, or some other better plan). It’s hard to build cohesive and consistent programs with this level of annual roster turnover. And why is “college” football still associated with universities when student athlete is now a farce? This is probably not the point of your exchange. Apologies for the tangent.
