  1. Alpine talked all week about how they could be the second or third fastest car by the end of the season, the next time they hit the track they qualify P19 and P12. What a bunch of clowns.
  2. Some team will probably trade back up to the end of the first so they can have the 5th year option.
  3. I was talking about the teams who had a shot at him. Bijan was never going to fall anywhere near their pick or even in their trade range. But yeah, Chiefs would’ve been amazing.
  4. If we’re talking only about what’s best for Bijan, it would have been Philly by a mile.
  5. That’s a good deal for the Lions.
  6. Was @Helobious too busy?
  7. What the fuck is Saban wearing?
  8. That was a really fucking dumb trade by the Texans.
  9. Ok but how much does Bryce Young weigh?
  10. Yeah, the Mazda MX-5 Cup also has incredible racing. That type of thing would be my #1 choice. I said go carts because it seems slightly more plausible even though it won’t happen. It would be fun if F1 did an All-Star type of even during the summer break that included stuff like a go cart race.
  11. Hell if F1 wants more action and more events to entice people to tune in and show up to the races, can we get a motherfucking go cart race every fucking race weekend? There’s nothing I’d like to see more than all the drivers on the grid competing in equal machinery.
  12. Having your mom climbing all over my lap while I’m trying to play. The woman is insatiable.
  13. That’s not even close to accurate. He didn’t negotiate a split between the Texans and Cowboys. He was traded from the Texans and the guaranteed money on his deal was automatically assigned to the Texans cap, just like every other trade, leaving the rest to be paid by the Cowboys, but then he and the Cowboys agreed to restructure the part of the deal the Cowboys had to pay, so it has nothing to do with being able to negotiate which team pays what part of his salary or who gets what cap hit.
  14. It’s weird that you read the article but failed to mention the guy who created the test all but said Stroud’s leaked score isn’t representative because he took it under bad conditions and that he retook it and scored higher.
  15. You nailed it. A test to identify how quickly someone can process information absolutely determines whether the player will watch film. How could anyone not see that?
  16. Sure, but it still seems awfully presumptuous to assume HtownHorn should get it.
  17. It can’t be negotiated. The NFL has rules that automatically apply to each team’s cap based on the player’s contract.
  18. Third guard isn’t really a bench role. We can sell starter minutes to another guard. Even if Abmas comes and Hunter stays AND both stay healthy all year, he could easily average 25 mpg. If either doesn’t happen or a guy gets injured, then he’d be a full time starter. We should be able to land another high level guard on top of Abmas and Hunter.
  19. The line between genuine aggy and Surly troll is truly indiscernible.
  20. There’s no such thing as cap hit allocation, it’s determined automatically based on signing bonus/guaranteed money. He would’ve counted for $31.6mm against the cap if he played for the Packers. His dead cap hit is now $40.3mm, but then he’s off the books for good.
  21. Not my calculations, guys who cover the sport. There’s a million different trade value charts out there and the conditional pick makes it difficult to value exactly, but most have concluded the total package is worth a top 10 pick, including Bill Barnwell’s article below. And if the Jets make the playoffs it means Rodgers played 65%+ and the Packers get a first, so them doing well doesn’t really hurt Green Bay. Obviously the ideal outcome for the Packers would be Rodgers playing and the Jets only winning 8 or 9 games so the Packers get a mid-first.
  22. He was going to have a huge cap hit regardless of whether he was traded or when he was traded, so there was no outcome where they “give him away” for cap space. My point is they could’ve kept him in the roster, let Love play and it really wouldn’t hav smattered. The Jets have all the pressure on them, which gives the Packers leverage to hold out for a good trade package, which they did. He’s a 39 year old QB on a big contract who’s extremely likely to retire after this year, and the Packers got the equivalent of the #7 overall pick in value out of the Jets. Getting a 2nd, a likely first, and the pick swap is very good value. The jets were the ones saying they wouldn’t give up a first. They blinked, not the Packers. They have a lot of aging veterans and they’re rebuilding, so I don’t think they’ll have too much trouble getting under the cap.
