    Yeah, the Mazda MX-5 Cup also has incredible racing. That type of thing would be my #1 choice. I said go carts because it seems slightly more plausible even though it won’t happen. It would be fun if F1 did an All-Star type of even during the summer break that included stuff like a go cart race.

    Hell if F1 wants more action and more events to entice people to tune in and show up to the races, can we get a motherfucking go cart race every fucking race weekend? There’s nothing I’d like to see more than all the drivers on the grid competing in equal machinery.

    Having your mom climbing all over my lap while I’m trying to play. The woman is insatiable.

    That’s not even close to accurate. He didn’t negotiate a split between the Texans and Cowboys. He was traded from the Texans and the guaranteed money on his deal was automatically assigned to the Texans cap, just like every other trade, leaving the rest to be paid by the Cowboys, but then he and the Cowboys agreed to restructure the part of the deal the Cowboys had to pay, so it has nothing to do with being able to negotiate which team pays what part of his salary or who gets what cap hit.

    It’s weird that you read the article but failed to mention the guy who created the test all but said Stroud’s leaked score isn’t representative because he took it under bad conditions and that he retook it and scored higher.
  7. Burt Macklin
    You nailed it. A test to identify how quickly someone can process information absolutely determines whether the player will watch film. How could anyone not see that?
  8. Burt Macklin
    Sure, but it still seems awfully presumptuous to assume HtownHorn should get it.
  9. Burt Macklin
    It can’t be negotiated. The NFL has rules that automatically apply to each team’s cap based on the player’s contract.

    Third guard isn’t really a bench role. We can sell starter minutes to another guard. Even if Abmas comes and Hunter stays AND both stay healthy all year, he could easily average 25 mpg. If either doesn’t happen or a guy gets injured, then he’d be a full time starter. We should be able to land another high level guard on top of Abmas and Hunter.

    The line between genuine aggy and Surly troll is truly indiscernible.

    There’s no such thing as cap hit allocation, it’s determined automatically based on signing bonus/guaranteed money. He would’ve counted for $31.6mm against the cap if he played for the Packers. His dead cap hit is now $40.3mm, but then he’s off the books for good.

    Not my calculations, guys who cover the sport. There’s a million different trade value charts out there and the conditional pick makes it difficult to value exactly, but most have concluded the total package is worth a top 10 pick, including Bill Barnwell’s article below. And if the Jets make the playoffs it means Rodgers played 65%+ and the Packers get a first, so them doing well doesn’t really hurt Green Bay. Obviously the ideal outcome for the Packers would be Rodgers playing and the Jets only winning 8 or 9 games so the Packers get a mid-first.

    He was going to have a huge cap hit regardless of whether he was traded or when he was traded, so there was no outcome where they “give him away” for cap space. My point is they could’ve kept him in the roster, let Love play and it really wouldn’t hav smattered. The Jets have all the pressure on them, which gives the Packers leverage to hold out for a good trade package, which they did. He’s a 39 year old QB on a big contract who’s extremely likely to retire after this year, and the Packers got the equivalent of the #7 overall pick in value out of the Jets. Getting a 2nd, a likely first, and the pick swap is very good value. The jets were the ones saying they wouldn’t give up a first. They blinked, not the Packers. They have a lot of aging veterans and they’re rebuilding, so I don’t think they’ll have too much trouble getting under the cap.
  15. Burt Macklin
    Not really true. The cap hit got split over two seasons after June 1, so it would’ve been more manageable for them if they waited. Plus the Jets are selling building a contender with a GM who’s been pretty terrible outside of last year’s draft while the Packers are rebuilding. The leverage was definitely in favor of the Packers once all the other viable QB options went off the market.

    Reading is hard.

    I thought he still has the option of coming back if he doesn’t like the feedback he gets, though I doubt he will. If Terry can land Abmas and get Hunter back then we have a very good top 6. He’ll still need to add at least a couple depth pieces, which is very doable. If he can pull all that off, then we could have a very strong roster next year and he’ll have the chance to stack back to back deep tournament runs and strengthen his resume to sell to future recruits and transfers.
  18. Burt Macklin
    He’s brought in over 20 transfers and most of the 14 who left were pushed out, so he’s doing pretty much what he planned minus a couple guys he probably wanted to keep.
  19. Burt Macklin
    They’re losing 7 or 8 starters off last year’s defense, so this is far from a given.
  20. Burt Macklin
    Whatever you say, realgreggoyim The NCAA changed it back to only one free transfer. We’ll see how much they actually enforce it.

    lulz now you’ve managed to be even more wrong than before. RAS takes into account height and weight as part of the score and dinged him for being small as a DE. He was 89th percentile overall as a DE. If you put him in as a LB, which includes smaller ILBs, then he jumps up to 94th overall in testing numbers and 89th for 3 cone. So his 3 cone was still elite at either spot. I realize you don’t have the ability to admit you’re wrong, but you were dead wrong about his 3 cone being meaningless or unimpressive no matter which way you slice it. Maybe stop digging the hole deeper. Either way I’m done reading your inane bullshit on this topic.
  22. Burt Macklin
    Impressively, you still manage to be wrong after being corrected. He’s in the 94th percentile for 3 cone of all time for edges, so it’s not just in comparison to the 2023 class that his time is impressive. A 6.97 3 cone for an edge defender is absolutely meaningful. That’s a great time no matter what draft class he’s in and 3 cone is the most meaningful metric for edge rushers. If you can’t figure that out, then you don’t have anywhere near the requisite knowledge to talk about this. On top of that, you cited an eval that had him predicted as a 4th round pick as part of your reasoning why he wasn’t drafted. All people are saying is his production plus his testing deserved to be a draft pick, not that he should’ve gone high or would’ve been a great NFL player. The nuggets factor in why he wasn’t drafted was his injury history. If his injury history were better, he absolutely would’ve been drafted.
  23. Burt Macklin
    The OP said he would’ve had the second fastest 3 cone time at this year’s combine, which is correct. You looked at the top 3 cone performers of all time, not the 2023 class. And like NoName’s graph shows below his 3 cone was in the 94th percentile for DEs, so it was obviously very good. No idea why you’re trying to argue against objective metrics that are easy to prove.

    Lol wtf. It’s one thing to debate whether Sabonis intentionally grabbed Green, but saying it’s all on Sabonis is insane. Even if Sabonis intentionally grabbed him, the stomp was clearly intentional and a massive overreaction that deserved a suspension regardless.

    You serious, Clark?
