  1. I wouldn’t go as far as saying pro-Putin but he has been very leery about any potential escalation of the conflict from an Ukraine/Russia war to a full on NATO/Russian war. I don’t agree with his stance, but I can understand it due to Slovakia’s location. NATO member or not, they are one of the small fish that conceivably see a war on their doorstep and a large potential for civilian casualties in a conventional engagement. I disagree because appeasement has never been shown to be a successful longterm strategy, but I understand the argument.
  2. Hold on to your butts... No telling where this goes and who gets blamed for what...
  3. So if they continue on with this collage approach for the NCAA cover, how many years will it be before Texas does t make the cover and how long till A&M does? The collage idea is great NIL marketing because it’s not paying any one player the premium to be on the front and it allows EA to make sure they can highlight both the top teams/fan bases overall and still drop in here or there a lower tiered NIL payout to smaller names in other payouts. The problem with approach the is the A&Ms of the world are going to be limited on how often they will ever get a player on the cover. They aren’t a big enough brand to get thrown in as background filler over other SEC teams. They aren’t going to be ranked high enough to be featured in the first few tiers of player images and they aren’t the main regional draw now in their conference so it doesn’t even move the needle from an SEC style secondary regional design… The real question needs to be who makes it into the cover collage first: A&M, MS St, or Auburn?
  4. Well, at least he knows how to block coming from Iowa. Should help out quite a bit on the Weigman QB Lead...
