    My favorites all time

    Never saw him play in person, but EJ Holub IS MR Red Raider to me.

    I went to church with EJ many years ago. Nice guy and just a huge dude.

    JJ has elite meditation rate while cameras are watching.

    I am pretty sure I saw him floating at the combine. The big question is if the team is willing to take a timeout when they get to the redzone so he can recenter.

    Showed this to my friends that develop missile warning and missile tracking satellites.  They confirmed it we don’t really launch anything it’s all a hoax 

    What happens when the missiles hit the dome? You've doomed us all.

    The B1G would gladly accept TAMU for the same reasons the SEC did-- access to Texas recruiting and Texas televisions without bringing in a threat to the established powers of the conference.  This rumor is almost certain to be completely false, but it's also plausible, which is why people are still discussing it.

     

     

    And yet, this big bad program moving around would be met with a collective yawn when it comes what they add to the B1G or what the SEC is losing outside of a mindless army of yokels.

    I love how everyone is conflating the fact that this was a report from Anwar fucking Richardson who did a shit job in giving a reason and likely never spoke to Arch or his family directly about it, versus Arch actually coming out and saying anything about it.

    GD what a bunch of pussies.  I'm ashamed those wimps are a part of Texas.  Ooohh this burns...

    Their assholes are probably more generally sensitive than others... for reasons.

    A $600 payment seems kind of lame, but I guess the exposure is part of the exchange. The only explanation I've seen from Arch is that he doesn't want to distract from the game (real football), which makes no sense, but it's his decision, and $600 isn't all that much. He also doesn't really need the recognition, his name provides that by itself. Seems like a silly thing to argue about.

    I honestly don't know, do NFL players get individual payments from EA for Madden, or does the team get to license its roster as part of their contracts paying the players millions of dollars each? Do the more popular players get paid more by EA or is it even across the board? I don't seem to recall any prior discussion about NFL players "opting out" of being in Madden.

    The NFLPA has the agreement with EA and they do pay all of their people for being in the game. The payouts are much larger, but not earth shattering. I have heard figures as high as 5-10K. Bearing in mind there are far fewer players and Madden has a much larger player base. And of course, there are players who receive more, particularly cover athletes. 

    Edit: Immamac may have a better figure. I havent seen it in a while.

    This guy clearly doesn't know how video games work. Projects are generally segmented by studios. EA could shut down an entire studio and have it not affect other projects. He even said himself that other employees would be moved to other ongoing projects, meaning College Football could actually benefit from this by getting more manpower. I imagine the initial work of getting all of the minutia for each school loaded into the game is pretty overwhelming and can't really be solved by anything other than brute force.

    Any chance Arch is holding out for a bigger payout here?

    This is really a very simple thing that the media is going to take and run with for no other reason than it is the offseason. He has declared publicly, as has his agent and parents, that he won't do any NIL deals until he is the starting QB at Texas. Is he the starting QB at Texas? *checks notes* no. I respect the decision. It also does increase the desire to see him in the game, and I could see EA going after him next year with a more lucrative package if he decides to not opt in again. 

     

    Besides, I anticipate that thousands of people are going to create a backup QB at Texas named Starch Tanning.

    More than a few of you should take copious notes on this response. This is correct way to react when you're clearly wrong or have been called out because of a bad take. I know that not a single one of you will pay any attention but maybe at least consider responding this next time instead of digging even deeper into whatever horrible hill you're dying on over and over again. 

     

     

    I'm just fucking with you. Dig until you hit the earth's crust on whatever horrible hot take you've come up with this time. For example, I seem to recall a few "Keontay Ingram reminds me of Jamaal and Kelvontay Dixon looks like Ramonce" posts a few years back. Incredible stuff, really. Then, after you've been thoroughly chewed up, ridiculed, abused, and spit back out, keep heading further down through the magma. It's almost always much more entertaining that way

     

    Seriously though, big props to Harvdog for manning up on this one. 

    You are doing this all wrong. It is the deviant behavior we want to applaud.
