The $1.3 million wasn't fully guaranteed. Now that he's been cut, he'll make about $20k per week while on the practice squad with no other guarantees or bonuses. It's a bit of an unusual decision, but it's obvious from watching him in the preseason that he's nowhere near ready to actually play in the NFL. He probably believes he'll receive the best coaching with Denver and is betting on himself to develop more in Denver than the 2 teams that offered him 53-man spots. He also wouldn't have gotten much job security from those 53-man offers. His offer was likely a vet minimum with no guarantees beyond this year.

Any time a coach has to brag about team GPA and attending class 4 years into his tenure, you just know he's absolutely crushing it. -

They didn’t have much returning at OT, so they overpaid for the Rice guy out of desperation. The fact he’s a JAG and worse than they thought isnt a positive for them now. -
OU Football 2025 - League Average & Loving It

Interesting note on OU’s prospects based on Vegas over/under. A lot of sites had them set at 6.5 earlier in the summer. That got bet a good bit and now a lot of sites have moved the line to 7.5 but it’s juiced pretty heavily to the under, around -140 or -150. In other words, the betting public pretty clearly has them tabbed to go 7-5. One hilarious aspect to this is there’s a decent chance OU starts 5-0, meaning they could easily end the season 2-5 and finishing towards the bottom of the SEC. I would love nothing more than to have OU be 5-0 and ranked in the top 10 before they face us in the Cotton Bowl. -

The fact that Looch is pointing to Scoob and York as two of the four difference makers on A&M’s defense should make the Aggie faithful feel quite grim. They won’t, but they should. -
I'm still irate about that abortion of a race put forth by Ferrari that robbed Charles of a win, or at least a podium but the reasoning behind it is pretty interesting. As early as Lap 8, Ferrari made Charles change his engine mapping to the most conservative setting that started clipping on the straight at about 280. This is a very significant loss of time. So they were seeing concerning signs of plank wear from the get go. They continued to have Charles on conservative engine modes and some lift and coast through the second stint. Amazingly, Charles was able to keep first place despite this, which is a testament to the pace of the Ferrari at that ride height and the difficulty of following in Hungary. Finally in the third stint they massively increased his tire pressures so the plank would ride higher and stop wearing. This in addition to still having the most conservative engine mode lost him about two seconds per lap throughout the final stint. I guess Ferrari was better off doing all this shit rather than Charles winning and getting DQ'd, but I honestly might have preferred seeing a dominant win even if it got stripped. Anyways, Ferrari has struggled with plank wear/ride height all year and the new suspension does seem like it has improved things but obviously isn't a magic fix. I guess Ferrari can feel vindicated in their claim that this new design is up there with McLaren if not for the plank wear issue considering Leclerc was absolutely gapping Piastri at the start and able to keep the lead despite the low engine modes, but all that and five bucks will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

She still has that nurse uniform. -
This conspiracy theory would be more believable if Hamilton hadn’t been failing at qualifying for about two years now with two different teams.

Leclerc must have a car issue. He’s all of a sudden 2 seconds per lap slower. Ferrari making changes to Leclerc’s car without telling him and killing his pace. I hate Ferrari so fucking much! If Leclerc ever leaves, I will hate them more than just about any team in sports.

Motherfucjer! You don’t pit Leclerc first at Hungary! Ferrari might have just thrown away a win for third place. I hate Ferrari so got dam much!

I remember the time @Dbeasy watched a one minute interview of him and predicted he would be a high character guy and a locker room leader. There have definitely been worse predictions on the recruiting board, but that one always gets me. -

Can you imagine how good that 2022 highest rated class of all time must have been considering all 4 services are systematically conspiring against A&M? Surely that collection of talent must have won at least 2 or 3 titles. -
Leclerc had a great late breaking move on cold tires to overtake Norris after the Kemmel Straight. Of course it was all for nothing because the clowns at Ferrari delivered a car that was about a half second per lap slower even with the new rear suspension that was supposed to magically fix all their issues, but it was executed perfectly.

These cars create so much spray. I just hope we don’t have another cancelled race behind the safety car like a couple years ago. It sucks these cars can’t actually race in the rain.
