  1. Corby sucks shit through a straw, but losing Dan has really exposed Bob for not having much beyond being knowledgeable about the NFL. Dan brought out the best in Bob. Bob was actually funny alongside Dan, now all of his insecurities have been laid bare while sitting next to Corby.
  2. You heard it right. Christian Ponder and fucking EJ Manuel, the creme de la creme of college QBs that only the elite aspire towards.
  3. I read the same article and listened to the same podcast not too long ago. Thomas has perverted some of the elements of black nationalism that he got from his time with the Black Panthers (yeah, his story there is pretty interesting). He basically starts from the same place that black nationalist/conservatives such as a Malcom X and Marcus Garvey started from, with a fervent distrust of government, and to some extent white people, but he warps into some weird belief that in order for black achievement to be fully fleshed out, society has to not only not coddle blacks, but return it to as close to its racist origins as possible. Believing that black achievement in this particular environment will forge some sort of steelier resolve within the black community by having to overcome it. He's a fucking lunatic. Here's the podcast referenced above: The discussion on Thomas comes in the 2nd half around the 23 minute mark. The author of the New Yorker article is interviewed. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/locked-and-loaded/id73330715?i=1000568482676
  4. He's been on at least one other time since the Clemson recap. I don't think it was a make good and the 2 of them weren't even on for that many segments to begin with. Hang Zone is pretending they're doing an NIL deal with the Deuce kid.
  5. Carlton's been making waves all across every sport with his custom lining idea for bespoke/custom suits.
  6. NFL insider notes: Cowboys have spent the least on payroll since 2016, why cash trumps cap, new CBA and more Cap discourse often excludes the numbers that matter, so here's a look at the real bottom feeders By Jason La Canfora Mar 6, 2020 at 10:36 am ET•6 min read "NFL fans get preconditioned to obsess over the salary cap. This time of year in particular, with free agency about to begin and players being cut around the league because of their cap figures, so much of the pro football conversation gets dominated by how much cap space teams have, or lack of it. Of course, with a soft cap, the dirty little secret is, and always has been, that cash trumps cap and there are myriad ways to convert salaries and create space and continue to have a means to spend. Even teams seemingly caught in a bind routinely find ways to extend players or apply the franchise tag to players despite those confines ... as long as ownership is willing to foot the bill and keep writing checks. The discourse of the cap, most often, excludes the true numbers that matter, and the metric that tells the story about which funds were actually poured into the product in pursuit of victories. Despite this being far and away the greatest revenue-generating sport in this country, and despite the owners sharing a revenue model in which massive cash subsidies arrive every year from the television contracts alone, we generally don't speak about payroll in the NFL the way we do in other sports. It's all cap, cap, cap. We think of huge-pocketed guys like Jerry Jones, whose big personalities have become woven into the very fabric of the game, as massive spenders doing whatever it takes to win, even if it means bidding against himself. We focus on the snapshot of two desperate teams over-spending on some mediocre free agent and lose sight of how much money so many teams are bringing in, and forget which owners aren't exactly threatening to spend up to the cap in any given year, let alone over it." It's an old article, but more of the same this season after spending money on Dak the last couple of years. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-insider-notes-cowboys-have-spent-the-least-on-payroll-since-2016-why-cash-trumps-cap-new-cba-and-more/
  7. Cowboys currently have over $22 million of cap space 2nd most in the NFL.
  8. Good for him. Get that money.
  9. How the fuck did he win? Wasn't his district one of the districts pinpointed after the 2016 election as a future win for Dems? Similar to the district Collin Allred eventually won in Dallas. I know a couple of Texas Exes ran in the democratic primary for his district with Sri ultimately being the winner of that primary.
  10. Yeah he's had a couple of high profile cases in his relatively short career. I've come across his name before.
  11. I'm not a recruit-nik and don't have a lot of prior knowledge of Roach and how he gets down, but he came off as a fairly decent guy from podcast. I did get the sense that he's a big high school football fan and clearly prefers it over college football so that claim checks out with everything I've read on here about him.
  12. Roach interviewed a bunch of former UT players for his book. BJ in particular gave him a lot of access and got him in touch with other former UT players for the book. He mentioned on the podcast that the interview with BJ was in the office of BJ's construction company.
  13. He was on the "it's just banter" podcast recently pubbing his book. Told a good story about BJ Johnson getting locked in a room by then assistant coach Urban Meyer asking him how much money would it take to get BJ to Notre Dame. Roach didn't mention Meyer by name, but it was clear that is who he was talking about.
  14. He would've signed before the season and probably in early January as well. However, after we waited to see whether he was needed to be part of a deal with Porzingis that ship had sailed. I don't blame Cuban/Nico for waiting until the season started and for JB to prove his worth, but the critical point would've been to sign JB after his play during the Covid issues we had during Christmas/New Year's. That was our chance to get him signed on the cheap.
  15. Is "banging down low" even a necessary requirement for NBA bigs anymore? Not only has the need for defending post ups diminished significantly over the last decade, but most teams concede defensive rebounds as well. Most offensive rebounds they do get in today's NBA are of the long rebound variety where half the time they rebound it as they're running back on defense.
  16. This is a great point often ignored when projecting college bigs who are highly skilled.
  17. Really hope we can get Trey Johnson away from Baylor despite his Dad having gone there. . The kid is tremendously skilled.
  18. How is being named All-American and defensive player of the year a MASSIVE bust?
  19. I think most people are lamenting the fact that we're losing an asset free of charge rather than the fact that we're losing Jalen Brunson the basketball player. We hit on our draft picks so infrequently that it really hurts when we finally hit on a 2nd rounder only to lose him 4 years later with absolutely nothing in return.
  20. The irony in all this is we're ultimately losing Jalen because of Luka's freak calf strain in the last game of the fucking season. Without Luka's injury Jalen never blows up against the Jazz and probably resigns with us for somewhere in the neighborhood of Hardaway's contract.
  21. One thing that still hasn't been explained is why did Dallas give Brunson a rookie contract that never called for restricted status. Now the Ticket (mainly Jake) has alluded to it being some sort of altruism of sorts because Brunson should've been a 1st round pick, but I'm calling bullshit. Everything about the Mavs and Mark Cuban's history tells me he wanted to lessen Brunson's future cap hold in hopes of having cap space in attracting a future free agent. Once again Mark's irrational need to hit a home run in free agency fucks us in the end.
  22. His dad has worked as an assistant to Tibs multiple times over the last decade.
  23. I like both TC and Monty. Both of them are better at radio than Sean Bass or anyone else at the ticket below the tier one guys or maybe Mino, although it's debatable as to whether Mino has much over them as a broadcaster.
  24. I thought the hoodie ban was weird when I first heard about it, but our pediatrician told my wife that apparently the latest craze for teenage girls is that they go commando under their hoodies. So I guess it makes sense given that bit of info.
  25. Jake didn't pick Sean over TC, Cat or Bill Bennet did.
