    Lol ok sure, no one is in this space more than me and my compatriots. We know what a real deal is and what should fly and this ain’t it chief. I’m not oblivious that people are using it to cheat, I’m saying that it’s fucking gross to use it as a method to cheat when there are legal means to accomplish the same thing. It also paints the rest of us in a very negative light

    But  that's the thing....because you and your people do things to the letter of the law and what is or isn't doesn't mean other schools are going to go about the business the same way.

    Such fucking bullshit. They hired a Cali lawyer as a Tennessee collective so they can pay a HS kid cause it’s legal there. Absolutely unimaginable how dirty and gross this is. This is aggy level shit that they are bragging about publicly basically 

    Damn who would have imagined that teams with deep pockets and dedicated alumni would find ways around laws and rules to benefit their program. Not saying it will work out for them. 
     

     

    it will be best for the State of Texas legislature to open up NIL for HS students and Imo that will be the only thing that stops these kinds of Aggie things that happened with the 2022 class.

    saying he would be better off as a intern/part time (anywhere) vs full time covering recruiting (literally anywhere) is really dumb take - even for you.

    I still stand by what I say. Fuck Chip Brown.

    Listen, I don't want this next comment to cause you to go drive your Chevrolet Astro van into a crowd of innocent people, but your posts on this board provide a strong tell to the rest of us that you've never been laid.

    Big knockers skank?

    Can we not call the female a whore? It's incel-cliched silliness that a female covering football needs to be called some sort of shitty name that makes the entire board look like Neanderthals by mere association. If we're going to look like that, I'd prefer it be because we're ogling her cleavage. 

    Dumb bitch?

    This week is my last week with 247Sports.

    I want to thank everybody that has been involved in my journey up to this point and specifically highlight a few that have really helped shape me into the person and reporter that I am today.

    That conversation has to start with Mike Roach, who took a chance on a 19-year-old fresh into the industry a little over two years ago and never doubted his ability to do the job as good as the big boys. Without Mike, there is a zero-percent chance that I would be in the position I am today. All of the trips to camps, visit weekends, games, etc. made us a powerful duo and I'm forever indebted to the sacrifices he made to help further my career. Under his guidance, I was able to elevate as a part-time worker in this industry on the outside looking in to a full-time employee with the most respected team site in this market. He has truly become one of the best teachers in this game, and I'm honored to have learned under him for the time I was able to have. His next student, my replacement, is somebody who I am extremely excited about, and I can't wait to see those two flourish to even higher heights together here at this site.

    Next, to my roommate, coworker, and close friend Collin Kennedy who also struck up a deserved promotion recently. Being able to bounce off energy on a daily basis with Collin has been a blessing and it's made me a better reporter and person as each day passes. To see where we were a year ago to where we are now is truly awesome and I can't wait to see what the future holds for him as well. He's on the cusp of becoming one of the most important people in this company, and I couldn't think of anyone more deserving of that responsibility.

    To the Horns247 crew that includes Jeff Howe, Chip Brown, Taylor Estes, and Kevin Ryan, thank you guys for welcoming me in from the jump and making me feel at home. A question or concern I ever had never felt like a dumb one and just by you guys working and operating on a daily basis gave me an understanding of how to work in this business while I was trying to learn.

    There are a ton of people around the network that were also crucial in helping me throughout the years, but I wanted to highlight our regional guys such as Brian Perroni, Andrew Hattersley, Jeremy Clark, Cody Nagel, Tim Watkins, Garrett Ross, and Gabe Brooks as some of the guys who were really helpful to me and I'm honored to call each of those guys my friend. To national guys such as Steve Wiltfong, Brandon Huffman, and Greg Biggins, I appreciate the guidance and expertise and can't wait to see you guys down the road to catch up.

    Lastly, to you, the consumer. Without an audience and without people reading our content, none of this would be possible. The Horns247 community welcomed me in from day-one and took me seriously from the jump. Without that, I'm not sure I would have had the confidence to do this job at a high level. I am forever indebted to this community and the support that you guys provided. I hope that you guys will follow me into my next journey and beyond as I truly appreciate a lot of your presences.

    As for that next journey, I'll have that news in the coming days. For now, I want to just say goodbye to everyone here and thank you for all of the support over the last two-plus years.

    Nick Harris leaving 247 which is a bummer because he was perfectly average which is an accomplishment given that everyone else at Texas 247 sucks ass

    so who is left? chip, the fat fuck, and the whore?

    Gambling will likely be the biggest source of growth in league revenues over the next decade; even larger than the increase in broadcast fees in the latest tv rights package. Players will benefit enormously from the gambling revenue generated by the league via cap expansion. Do you really think the this is the hill the NFLPA wants to die on?

     

    You find it hypocritical for an employer to require their employees to avoid conflicts of interest? I can't think of a more obvious example of a legal conflict of interest than gambling on games in a league in which you're an active player. The precedent was set over a century ago. It's the one cardinal rule across every sport.

    Don't fucking bet on games in the sport in which you make a fucking living.

    Apparently the players have it lenient compared to staff of teams. They’re not allowed to gamble on any sports.
