  1. NYG, NYJ, Browns, Titans, Raiders, maybe Steelers, maybe Saints. Rodgers and Cousins will go somewhere, probably Darnold too (as well as Wilson and/or Fields depending what Steelers do). Those teams in the top 5 might rightfully be scared off picking Sanders that high. It’s very conceivable he could tumble to late 1st or 2nd round. Maybe there’s a dark horse like Seattle or Rams that would take him thinking their current QB will only be around one more season.
  2. I never understood why they’d wouldn’t allow the kicking team to recover short kicks in the new setup so “surprise onsides” are still part of the game. If a kicker has to pop it right over the wall of return team players, the kicking team doesn’t have that much separation to create violent collisions (since this was all allegedly in the name of player safety).
  3. I have been wondering if "annual audits" by FDA that have been 18 months apart since covid will now be more like 2 years. I don't have any new 510k submissions on my immediate horizon. Winning? As best I understand, they are FDA employees but the budget for their salaries are derived from the various fees imposed on device and pharma companies. I don't know if DOGE's plan (lol, like there is a plan) is to reduce the fees, or to cut FDA's budget and the (remaining) fees collected for the employees they kept. Regardless, I hope there is more reasonable and efficient mechanism for FDA approvals and audits when the dust settles.
  4. I agree, but the brick red hats for 2025 are already on the internet for purchase. Hopefully it's just a one-off product offering for people who are nostalgic of the Carlos "El Taco Caballo" Lee era.
  5. I think it was the same shoulder. He came in with length but not mass, but was good enough to get DE snaps as a true freshman (we know how much Mack loved redshirting people). If he had put on the muscle, he could have been very productive, but the shoulder gave out and football was done.
  6. Is he going to threaten to move the team to St. Louis? San Diego and Oakland aren’t building a stadium for him.
  7. LBJ is a self-absorbed little bitch? That’s so out of character.
  8. Is KD likely to make a huge impact with this year's team's success? We'd hope this team as is could make it at least to the second round. Since leaving Golden State, KD's team's went: '21 Nets - 2nd round exit '22 Nets - 1st round exit '23 Suns - 2nd round exit '24 Suns - 1st round exit I'd trade Jalen Green and filler for KD, but I wouldn't give Phoenix their picks back. It's still a good trade for Phoenix if they think Green could still become a star at a currently lower price point and younger than KD. KD could be the man to take clutch shots down the stretch of games for Houston, or he could be an aging star who breaks down.
  9. Every university, public or private, has their own policy on patent ownership, generally ranging from the school owning 40-75% of revenue generated
  10. One week in JV football, we played @Nimitz and for some reason Quentin Griffin (future OU RB) got put down to the JV squad. I blitzed from outside LB in a 3-4 defense right into their option pitch and blew him up for a 5 or 6 yard loss. I think he went for a 60 yard TD the next play. A few years later as a UT undergrad, I watched him score 6 times in the 64-14 game and frequently insinuated that Reed Boyd was unable to do what I did as a JV LB. No helmet stickers though. Coach didn't believe in that "weak shit."
  11. ...and no experience calling plays.
  12. I thought they were going to sell Lebron a Vegas expansion franchise at a below market rate?
  13. *they can let him walk in two years as a free agent and get a compensatory pick for him. If they cut him (and the story is Rams don’t want him/his contract), they get no picks. Everyone knows the Rams want to dump him now. They won’t likely get a 2nd or 3rd round in a trade. If Texans are interested, it’s all a poker match. Are there other teams interested in taking on the 2yr/$40m he has left? Enough to give up a pick? Maybe some 6th for a 7th swap bullshit? If not, wait for the Rams to cut him. They could claim him on waivers to insure they get him (possibly overpaying him), or wait it out and sign him for less as a free agent. OTOH, Texans may get a comp pick if Diggs signs elsewhere and they don’t sign anyone of note (trading for Kupp or claiming him off waivers would work).
  14. Dome Hideout was awesome. Went several times that year, felt like it was in there two or three years but I’ll take the committeeman’s word for it. Going down the tunnel and then onto the floor, throwing down $6 crown and cokes, and looking up at the Astrodome ceiling as you two stepped with some young drunk lass in a denim skirt was peak bachelorhood for me.
  15. Got in trouble at a wedding last summer outside of Philly when my 6 year old son asked all dudes wearing green if they were dirtbags.
  16. They could start by referring to themselves as owners again instead of “governors.”
  17. Condolences to Mavs fans. As a Houston fan, I span from indifference to rooting against Dallas teams (unless playing against LA or NY teams). This trade was so terrible for the Mavs that I actually wish it would get vetoed by the NBA commissioner. Giving the Lakers a young star makes it 10x worse than if they'd sent Luka for pennies to literally anywhere else.
  18. Maybe AD will fail his physical and the trade gets voided
  19. Isn’t this where zombie David Sterns comes in and blocks a trade that’s just too shitty?
  20. Watch his legacy and welcome in Baltimore get rubbed out, while Ray Lewis, who stabbed someone to death, is worshipped as a hero by Ravens’ faithful. Tough beat.
  21. Heard on radio this morning that Rockets, Ime, and FVV had mutual interest in changing the $44m team option for next season into 3 years, ~$100m.
  22. Quick google search: If you make $26,000,000 a year living in the region of Ontario, Canada, you will be taxed $13,885,092. That means that your net pay will be $12,114,908 per year. If you make $26,000,000 a year living in Texas, you will be taxed $10,196,478. That means that your net pay will be $15,803,523 per year. So if the final offers are similar to what we've been seeing, he'd pocket an extra ~$3.7 million/year with the Astros. If it's just about the bag and securing his grandchildren's obscene wealth, he should sign with Houston (even for marginally less contract salary). If it's just about ego like many pro athletes and getting "paid" more than peers, then double F' you get out of here.
  23. …at a place where they are paid to rub you aggressively while you’re naked. Not that spunking in a legitimate massage spa is appropriate.
  24. LZ is there and said Nolen and Sorrell are mauling everyone. He said the QBs all looked shitty and WR group looks weak compared to previous years (we knew that).
  25. Fox is a great player and could be an upgrade at one of the guard positions, but it's not like he has extensive playoff experience either (7 games).
