  1. There is no explanation for this stupidity that makes sense regardless of what the spin from the GM, the befuddled owner, and the coach. It’s just a dumb allocation of cap, stupid waste of a high draft pick, and potentially teamwrecking. In the nfl if you have two QBs you have none. Most folks said at the end of the season that the Falcons were a good coach, solid QB, and and a pass rush away from owning the south. Morris imo has proven in previous jobs to be a strong motivator and excellent d coordinator. Cousins is a $180 mil if he plays his full contract, with a $100 mil guarantee. If you go the veteran qb route it eats cap. It’s a commitment to a QB that is new to the team and market, is uprooting his kids, and could have stayed in Minnesota. If you had Cousins when did you decide to draft a QB? And why? The team is built to win now not down the road; Blank has been quoted that he wants the team to win now regardless of cap hit later. He’s 81. So why draft Penix when you’re in the catbird seat to pick the best rusher? Maybe trade down a couple spots and get edge and a solid OT. Lots of options. Fontanot blew it with some cutesy strategy because he believes they won’t be in a low draft position down the road. That’s just dumb. Penix is 24. He has some issues in his game that kept him in the next lower QB tier with nix. Age is part of it for both. Penix will sign a 4 year guaranteed contract for $22m with a $13.8 mil signing bonus. So the only way to learn to be a QB is to play in games. He will be sitting on Sunday and running scout team. Atlanta can be a fickle city and will likely be clamoring for Penix the second he throws an INT. Cousins is pissed. It’s hard to believe you’re the guy when the team has already gone behind your back for your replacement. And Blank has been sold on it; it would be interesting to know Rich McKay’s opinion. Or what Morris really thinks. A terrible stupid decision. This isn’t Jordan Love. Or Steve Walsh. Or Aaron Rodgers. All very different. Not that I care as I hate the Falcons and Arthur Blank.
  2. He would likely be better than Jaylon smith ever was.
  3. You can see that online instantly without the tie in to a new cbs version of NCIS. I watch the show on nfl network because I like rich Eisen. His daily show is the best out there. He’s trying to g to get the falcons GM on today to question him on that stupid Penix pick.
  4. I don’t know what you’re trying to say. To be really great at what you do takes a lot of hard work. My dad worked hard, was a great detective, and strapped on a gun to go to work. He made whatever meager pay the federal government paid him each year. I know a lot of professional musicians who have tons of records, work several nights a week, tour all over the world and in their best years made about $30k. Pro athletes. Does a AA ball player making $24k a year rate the same as LaBron? As far as guarantees, at the very least a player is generally guaranteed for the season. On second multiyear contracts the guarantee averages about half. That can be a stupid amount of money. Had Cleveland cut Watson his cap hit would have been more than their entire cap. That’s some stupidity
  5. Agree. The season was like fuckin in mud.
  6. That’s a funny as hell show.
  7. The risks they take? To play football? High school cheerleaders have a higher rate of serious injury. We have soldiers in Syria taking incoming fire every fucking day. They don’t get a couple mill. Cops don’t start at that salary. Or electricians. Fishermen. Lots more dangerous jobs. Oh they also got the opportunity to get a free college degree in there. The players get almost half the top line revenue the league generates. If my math is right that’s $255mil per team so $8.16 billion goes to the players. If you are on a practice squad you make $385k if you stick 18 weeks. If the players don’t like the disparity between players they should deal with that with the NFLPA. They are able to be full time athletes. They can learn business, further their education, get into coaching, scouting, front office in the offseason. It’s not like Bob Lilly making $10k a year, or Bart Starr getting up on Monday after getting drilled in the dirt by deacon jones and having to manage his insurance business in Alabama. Of course if the are stupid with money and behavior, say Rashee Rice, you’ll be broke forever. That Lambo owner is wanting his money.
  8. It was better with Rachel Bonetta. I had a foursome with her, Cynthia Frelund, and Colleen Wolfe..
  9. If you’re talking about Chris Berman. He sucked in the 70’s when he was on the unknown ESPN. He has sucked balls for 40 fucking years. He has not one single good take. And those fucking Nick names. Put a grenade in his mouth.
  10. Would have always been a better show with The James Brown. “Get on the good foot!”
  11. In today’s NFL the general rule is the RB wall is 27 years old, and 1500 touches. Zeke will be 29 during the season (and he came in young) and has 2420 touches. It’s amazing he can still walk. Terrible signing. I wouldn’t give any RB a second contract. Get a good one cheap early and run the to death, replace, repeat. I wouldn’t give Jim Brown a second contract these days.
  12. I was on an Alaska Air flight once next to a guy that smelled like he spent the winter inside a dead moose.
  13. And another reason iHeart put a fork in the thing. Bloated salaries need bloated ratings. More money and shit book don’t last.
  14. This here. 30 is the only one I watched each week.
  15. Matt Ryan. What the fuck is he going to add to the conversation?
  16. Looks like the citizens of Kansas are the next victims.
  17. It’s a big cost when you’re paying your QB $60 mil on his last year. When you lost 77 over a mil. RBs are dime a dozen. $3 mil for a used up has been is extravagance. He’s not there to coach young RBs; that’s always been a silly myth. Even in his good days Zeke has never been a favorite player of mine. He’s just above Bobby Carpenter, Jaylon Smith, and Roy Williams on the hate scale. But under Toast Patterson.
  18. That’s funny. But it’s even funnier that they are hit with $6m in dead cap on his last deal while paying him $3m on this one. Even dumber are the folks praising this as a great move by Jerry to bring back this greatness. I predict 112 carries. 119 yards.
  19. Once this is all done chances are Miguel will emerge mostly unscathed and he’ll find investors to fund another go at it. There is something about restaurants that some rich folks look at not as investments but entertainment and status symbols. It’s a way to have something more exclusive than an exclusive club. Some chefs can do it and run a real business. Others get funding over and over and wreck it. Grady Spears was a master at it. I loved the guy’s food but he was a trainwreck running a business or a functioning restaurant.
  20. Had a neighbor who worked in Antarctica 6 months ago year. His wife would meet him in NZ for a month after each year. They planned to retire there. Thats where I would go.
  21. NBC owns the license. I wonder if he has ownership of LCK and the rev from BMW.
  22. Still the primary issue for folks like Sirois and Balis remain. Money. The lack of it. I don’t see them getting invitations to return. Limited options in declining market.
  23. https://www.si.com/nfl/2024/04/27/xavier-worthy-chiefs-locker-room-fans-jokes Worthy came from one of the best locker room and football facilities to Mr F minus Clark Hunt’s directional school level shit facilities. He just finally added AC a year or two ago. And two going to Carolina. If you recall Hard Knocks the Panthers place didn’t look as good as a Planet Fitness.
  24. I believe that was supposed to be the main trailer, the other different branded trailers, and the wife’s catering business. Still I thought $4.5mil is a lot of business. But the article seemed to imply that was in the financials.
  25. Just putting this here as an aside. 24 in 24 is a pretty good competition show on FN.
