Re: NFL 2024 Offseason
People on the podcasts and twitters are saying that SF may be looking to deal one of their receivers before the draft and the Steelers are in the market and have some cap room maybe and I know Aiyuk is younger, but the idea of Deebo being on the Steelers gets me rock hard. My favorite non-Steeler b...

Re: Presidential Election 2024
I'm starting to assume that the mainstream media is doing anything to talk up TGS's chances of keeping this closer than it will be solely for the clicks, because if this comes down to the sizes of the war chests , it's going to be a veritable ass-whupping. Unfortunately, all of his buffoonery bring...

Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24
My apologies to everyone who had to watch or even read about that mess. For some reason this particular uva team would occasionally show up to games with no interest in playing hard in offense. You could usually see it in the first few possessions, which was true last night. Ugh. They could probabl...

Re: NFL 2024 Offseason

Re: NFL 2024 Offseason

Re: NFL 2024 Offseason

Playing behind the husk of Russell Wilson seems like one of the better ...

Re: NFL 2024 Offseason
Justin Fields to the Steelers for a 6th. Is he backing up Russ? Yes. The Bears traded him for a 2025 6th-rounder that can become a 4th-rounder based on playing time. It’s really fucking smart by Pittsburgh. They get to decline his 5th-year option, then work with him while he's on their bench for a ...

Justin Fields must be stoked to have two WR1's to throw to next season. Conversely, wtf are the Chargers doing? They’ve lost every decent weapon Herbert had.

Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24
Seems like his stints in the NBA might've helped. I can't believe he's been at UH for 10 years. He does a great job recruiting to his style of play (not a great half-court offense, very aggressive defense, and pounding the offensive boards). That's not for everybody, particularly the first part. An...

Re: NFL 2024 Offseason
So, since a trade is unlikely, it appears the most likely scenario is that the Bears release Fields rather than pick up the option? And, then Fields goes elsewhere as a backup, at a much lower price? No the Bears are on the hook for his salary for 2024 anyway so what they’d likely do is decline the...

Re: NFL 2024 Offseason
Bears sign De'Andre Swift for three years, $24 million.
I am even closer to believing their management has no idea what they are doing.
I look forward to them being unable to trade Fields before the draft.

They've been drafting in the 20s for two decades. It's why they are in this current purgatory of not good and not bad.

Yeah, they aren't up to historic Syracuse levels yet, but Boeheim didn't leave him much (other than Mintz, who's quite good). The last two teams were pretty poor and clearly only built around the idea of getting the ball to his son(s). I hope Autry pans out, because the ACC's coaching talent pool h...
