  1. Some of the technicalities concerning managing the 53 man roster have changed in the fallout of COVID. One such example is the allowance of veterans on the practice sqad and allowing guys to go back and forth from the PS to the 53-man roster multiple times before a decision has to be made. I'm not sure if your IR example is something that existed prior to recent changes or if it's new, but there have a number of changes over the last 3 seasons.
  2. There's a good chance he'll still make the 53-man roster in another week. With recent rule changes this initial cut to the 53-man is just as much about managing roster needs like placing players on IR and retaining players with multi-year contracts as it is about actually formulating a team's week one 53 man roster.
  3. Never said it was, just that typically if one gets into a top 20 MBA program without work experience it's another level of accomplishment. And I agree with the primary point of your post which was that Hudson Card getting into the undergraduate program is a big deal and he's definitely not going to transfer prior to obtaining his degree.
  4. You sure about that chief???' I know he's in the undergrad program, but this is the first I've heard of him getting into the MBA program, which would be quite the accomplish to 1) not only get into without work experience, but 2) get into in only 3 years of undergrad.
  5. Are we talking about the same message boards that prove to be full of shit with most other stories?
  6. Staples can't help but force in an SEC reference no matter what is being discussed.
  7. Given how many players Sark shuffled out of here over the last few months he agrees with Casey.
  8. I believe the Big 10's weekly game selection works a lot different that the SEC and other conferences. The games are chosen prior to the season starting. So Fox will choose Michigan/Ohio St with the first pick, and then CBS will choose a game, then NBC and then back to Fox with the 4th pick. Maybe Fox gets a few more extra picks due to their buy, but it works like a draft where the picks are made for the entire season.
  9. Audience size. All those big ass schools with huge alumni populations command massive and loyal audiences. Especially in the Northeast where all these TV networks are headquartered. Ohio St, Michigan, Penn St, Michigan St., Wisconsin, and now USC and UCLA. Our view of the Big 10 has been warped over the last 15 years by the brand management job ESPN has done for the SEC. For most of my lifetime Big 10 schools have had an overwhelming presence in college football. It's only in the last 15 years where the Big 10's coverage took a 2ndary role to the SEC. I remember how I felt about the Big 10 back in 2004 when we faced Michigan in the Rose bowl and how I had a nagging sense that they were overrated. What I was really emoting was a feeling of envy over the coverage they received at the time.
  10. I was wondering what was up with the Soul Taco spot when I hit it up a few weeks back. I thought they just weren't open that morning.
  11. Anyone who played sports and grew up or around North Dallas in the last 15 to 20 years knows the Talibs are and always have been absolute pieces of shit. There's a story on a DFW sports message board about a father pulling his son off the Talibs team awhile back because Aqib "showed off" his pistol to his team. That's right, a supposed coach and role model showed off his gun to a bunch of 9 year olds. They're pure trash and I don't care who on here is kin to them. There's another video floating around the internet showing a different angle where you get a clear shot of what happened. Not only was it 4 or 5 guys beating Mike down, but Yakub or whatever the fuck his name is, inexplicably pulls out his gun as Mike struggles to gain balance after being beat down by a bunch of dudes and Yakub straight up murders him. As far as I'm concerned every last one of those dudes beating that guy down should go to jail. Fuck 'em.
  12. Buddy of mine had his car booted for someone else's tickets. They got the wrong guy and car. He started thinking about trying to take the boot off himself when it became clear that UTPD fucked up. Took him an entire day to get that shit sorted out.
  13. For the good of the sport this had to happen. The only way we get back to all regions of the country taking part in college football is for ESPN's control of the sport to be diminished considerably.
  14. Bruh, you were anti Amari from the absolute get go. You may not be a homer, but you siding with the Cowboys in getting rid of Amari for pennies on that dollar isn't exactly a huge revelation.
  15. Yeah that's where Davey differs from Danny. Not only is he a funny, entertaining, and witty guy he actually knows a thing or 2 about sports and can call Corby and Bob on their bullshit.
  16. Corby sucks shit through a straw, but losing Dan has really exposed Bob for not having much beyond being knowledgeable about the NFL. Dan brought out the best in Bob. Bob was actually funny alongside Dan, now all of his insecurities have been laid bare while sitting next to Corby.
  17. You heard it right. Christian Ponder and fucking EJ Manuel, the creme de la creme of college QBs that only the elite aspire towards.
  18. I read the same article and listened to the same podcast not too long ago. Thomas has perverted some of the elements of black nationalism that he got from his time with the Black Panthers (yeah, his story there is pretty interesting). He basically starts from the same place that black nationalist/conservatives such as a Malcom X and Marcus Garvey started from, with a fervent distrust of government, and to some extent white people, but he warps into some weird belief that in order for black achievement to be fully fleshed out, society has to not only not coddle blacks, but return it to as close to its racist origins as possible. Believing that black achievement in this particular environment will forge some sort of steelier resolve within the black community by having to overcome it. He's a fucking lunatic. Here's the podcast referenced above: The discussion on Thomas comes in the 2nd half around the 23 minute mark. The author of the New Yorker article is interviewed. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/locked-and-loaded/id73330715?i=1000568482676
  19. He's been on at least one other time since the Clemson recap. I don't think it was a make good and the 2 of them weren't even on for that many segments to begin with. Hang Zone is pretending they're doing an NIL deal with the Deuce kid.
  20. Carlton's been making waves all across every sport with his custom lining idea for bespoke/custom suits.
  21. NFL insider notes: Cowboys have spent the least on payroll since 2016, why cash trumps cap, new CBA and more Cap discourse often excludes the numbers that matter, so here's a look at the real bottom feeders By Jason La Canfora Mar 6, 2020 at 10:36 am ET•6 min read "NFL fans get preconditioned to obsess over the salary cap. This time of year in particular, with free agency about to begin and players being cut around the league because of their cap figures, so much of the pro football conversation gets dominated by how much cap space teams have, or lack of it. Of course, with a soft cap, the dirty little secret is, and always has been, that cash trumps cap and there are myriad ways to convert salaries and create space and continue to have a means to spend. Even teams seemingly caught in a bind routinely find ways to extend players or apply the franchise tag to players despite those confines ... as long as ownership is willing to foot the bill and keep writing checks. The discourse of the cap, most often, excludes the true numbers that matter, and the metric that tells the story about which funds were actually poured into the product in pursuit of victories. Despite this being far and away the greatest revenue-generating sport in this country, and despite the owners sharing a revenue model in which massive cash subsidies arrive every year from the television contracts alone, we generally don't speak about payroll in the NFL the way we do in other sports. It's all cap, cap, cap. We think of huge-pocketed guys like Jerry Jones, whose big personalities have become woven into the very fabric of the game, as massive spenders doing whatever it takes to win, even if it means bidding against himself. We focus on the snapshot of two desperate teams over-spending on some mediocre free agent and lose sight of how much money so many teams are bringing in, and forget which owners aren't exactly threatening to spend up to the cap in any given year, let alone over it." It's an old article, but more of the same this season after spending money on Dak the last couple of years. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-insider-notes-cowboys-have-spent-the-least-on-payroll-since-2016-why-cash-trumps-cap-new-cba-and-more/
  22. Cowboys currently have over $22 million of cap space 2nd most in the NFL.
  23. Good for him. Get that money.
  24. How the fuck did he win? Wasn't his district one of the districts pinpointed after the 2016 election as a future win for Dems? Similar to the district Collin Allred eventually won in Dallas. I know a couple of Texas Exes ran in the democratic primary for his district with Sri ultimately being the winner of that primary.
