  1. Miami might as well forfeit next week if they don't bring back Tua to risk another concussion. The rest of their qbs can't do shit on offense even with Hill and Waddle at WR.
  2. Some, or all of the bargains? Didn't he agree that any member of the house can call for a motion to vacate the speaker's chair? Very little effort needed to make his life miserable if he doesn't follow through on everything like committee nominees.
  3. Boo. Which 2 Dems didn't bother to vote? Motion to adjourn won by...2 votes.
  4. Genuinely curious, why would this be the breaking point? Pretty clear it's a freak occurrence. On the other hand, we've had plenty of proof for years that former football players (not just those who make it to the NFL) run plenty of risks for severe brain damage and other health issues...no one cares aside from changing some rules, supposedly hiring more independent doctors that the coaches listen to, and getting better helmets.
  5. Pittsburgh was running Harris into the ground last year and earlier this year. Hopefully they keep Warren or someone else getting 8-10+ touches a game to help keep Harris healthy/give him a breather. It's taken Dallas way too long to figure that out with Pollard/Elliott.
  6. Can't believe Tomlin has a chance to keep his .500 or better regular season streak alive next week.
  7. And then both Ferentz and Jimbo would somehow get a contract extension + raise.
  8. Pete and the Seahawks brass found someone dumb enough to pay a premium for a clearly diminished Wilson? They had maybe 1-2 years left of one-and-done in the playoffs, then Wilson's contract would be up or they'd be stuck waiting until the cap hit was bearable, which is what Denver is set to do now.
  9. No one argued otherwise. The observation/argument is that it's bullshit that the GM is keeping his job at this point. He decided to both hire Hackett and trade for Wilson. He should absolutely be gone as well, and Wilson gets to hang around and be a punching bag while he counts his money.
  10. "If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole."
  11. Not great odds, but I think OSU probably feels better about their chances this year than they did in 2014 with a 3rd stringer having to take his first start in the CCG and then the playoffs.
  12. 2016 tOSU says hi. Precedent has been set for years. Doesn't mean it will happen this year, although it seems pretty damn likely.
  13. Not necessarily reasons they should, but reasons the committee could use: Clemson - Losing at home to South Carolina and getting crushed on the road by Notre Dame is worse than 2 overtime loses on the road to LSU and Tennessee. Maybe they let Clemson jump Bama if Dabo swears a blood oath not to send DJ back out there as qb. Tennessee - Barely won the H2H at home with their Heisman candidate qb. Said qb is done for the season with a torn ACL. They are not remotely the same team without him, beating Vandy doesn't mean much. TCU - Are we really going to pretend brand/ability to pull in a national audience is in the same ballpark here? That's not supposed to matter, but if you want to keep believing that it doesn't, go right ahead.
  14. Because everyone knows the CFP will look for any excuse to leave an undefeated TCU out in favor of a 1 or 2 loss blueblood/semi-blueblood like USC, LSU, tOSU this year?
  15. What exactly does the CFP need to figure out now? Georgia, Michigan, TCU, and USC are in at this point.
  16. SEC trying to help facilitate Kiffin to Auburn?
  17. Yeah, if you're the starting QB for 4 full years at UCLA (covid-shortened year be damned) and you STILL come back for year 5 instead of going into the draft, you've hit your ceiling.
  18. DTR is to UCLA what Taylor/Adrian Martinez was to Nebraska. Seems like he could have finished a doctorate at UCLA by now.
  19. Running like 50 yards for a net gain of 1. Impressive.
  20. SEC Network announcer doesn't think 6-4 is enough to get Florida into the top-25 this coming week, despite their "big win" over Utah (nevermind that was back in week 1). I guess that counts as being somewhat rational given the source?
  21. Gary Andersen left $12.6 million on the table when he resigned at Oregon State in 2017...then left $2.7 million on the table when he resigned from his 2nd stint at Utah State in 2021. Haven't seen anything about either school having dirt on him.
  22. I assume it's something like analytics arguments that go on in all sports. One side saying analytics show the one guy clearly cheated. Other side saying the analytics are being used wrong. End of the day all of them are nerds.
  23. Agree, but I have no idea how long their window is open with this core. Deebo is a beast, but he gets a ton of usage and I'm not sure how long they can expect him to stay healthy and perform at this level. They already have health issues with Kittle and...basically all their running backs. Unless they're drafting someone ready to go in year 1-2, they're pushing their luck with everyone else being around health or contract-wise.
  24. That's fine. But Trey Lance looked worse than Jimmy G at actually trying to make reads and throws. Not Tim Tebow level, but pretty fucking bad. Miami gonna enjoy another high 1st round draft pick next year.
  25. Reboot those BCS computers, re-program them, then call whatever plays get the highest rating among all of them? Sounds like a plan.
