Quoted: At this point it's almost on them if they take him as a client... View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: I wonder if he’ll come back to form with a full training camp. Football form or sexually abusing message therapists form? The chances of him doing it again, all things considered, are almost a statistical certainty. Now whether or not the public finds out about it, that's less certain. At this point it's almost on them if they take him as a client... Some of Watson's previous victims were unemployed single mothers (during a lockdown no less) desperate for money. I suspect he knew even if they heard the rumors about him they'd be less likely to refuse the appointment and more likely to "just go with it" when the assault started. Reminds me of that scene in American Psycho where the hooker knows she shouldn't go with him, but he waves that big clip of money at her and she reluctantly agrees. |

B.J. "Red" McCombs, a prominent San Antonio businessman, philanthropist and the namesake of the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas, former co-owner of the Denver Nuggets, former owner of the San Antonio Spurs and the Minnesota Vikings, died Sunday. He was 95.
McCombs rose from working as a car salesman at a Ford dealership in Corpus Christi in 1950 to a billionaire who has owned more than 400 businesses in several industries, including real estate, energy, automotive and several sports enterprises. In 2022, Forbes listed him among the richest men in the world, with an $1.7 billion estimated net worth. McCombs was also a co-founder of Clear Channel Communications, which is now known as iHeartMedia. McCombs gave $50 million to UT's business school in 1999. The UT System Board of Regents renamed the school in McCombs' honor. McCombs and his wife, Charline, donated $30 million to the UT M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston (the largest donation for cancer research they have ever received). McCombs attended Southwestern University in the 1940s on a football scholarship, where he was a lineman and receiver. He later joined the Army from 1946 to 1947 before enrolling in UT's law and business school, although he did not graduate. |

Quoted: All things considered (including draft capital lost and the damage to your franchise’s image) that will likely go down as THE worst deal in NFL history and hindsight wasn’t even required to know it was a horrible idea from the get-go. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: This season Deshaun Watson will count for $55M against the Brown's cap. It is the largest single season cap hit for any player in NFL history. He will also count for $55M against the cap in 2024, 2025 and 2026. All things considered (including draft capital lost and the damage to your franchise’s image) that will likely go down as THE worst deal in NFL history and hindsight wasn’t even required to know it was a horrible idea from the get-go. One of the angles that doesn't get talked about enough is that Watson's deal was fully guaranteed. My understanding is that, when any guarantees in a contract kick in, the owner must write a check to an escrow account in that player's name. With some contracts, those guarantees kick in at certain milestones along the way (like the Mahomes contract), but for Watson, it was all at signing. When that deal was signed, the Haslams had to write a full $230M check to Watson's escrow account. That sets a terrible precedent and really screws most of the other owners in the NFL, and that's before you consider the particulars of the player involved. Some team owners simply do not have the liquidity/cash flow to play that game. |

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: No chance. They might tag him once and they'll draft a replacement if he sticks on a number that high. They can still tag him. That's a really interesting game. It is my belief that, in general, you should not tag a QB. You either have a franchise QB or you don't. If you have a franchise QB, you should get that contract extension written up and signed as soon as that player becomes eligible. If you wait on that extension and/or play games with the tag, the results are almost universally terrible for the franchise. The most likely scenario is probably paying an extra 20%+ like the Cowboys did with Dak. Or you can lose your player to FA and end up with nothing to show for it like the WTF did with Cousins. There is the potential for a tag & trade, but I can't think of an example of that at the QB position. Now that the Giants are here, they have to make a decision with Jones. The tag value for QBs this season is $32.4M. I think paying Jones $32.4M for one year can make some sense, but then what? Either Jones improves or becomes more expensive or he doesn't and the situation is probably worse this time next year. The other variable for the Giants here is Saquon Barkley. He's a FA this year, and the Giants can only franchise tag one player. Barkley seems like a good candidate for a tag and trade... IF they can get something ironed out with Jones. Otherwise, they might have to let Barkley go to the FA free market and hope they get a good comp pick for him. I like the idea of the Giants offering Jones a 3 year deal in the neighborhood of $35M or so. I think that's fair for the position, the production, and the potential, and it gives Jones a shot at a bigger payday in 2-3 years when he's 28-29 years old. Jones can ask for whatever he wants, but I'd expect him to have a soft market. A tag and trade gets spicy with Jones because they'd have to replace him with someone. Also, if they trade him, the entire league would know NYG is gunning for a QB, and they're all the way down at #26, so they'd need to move way up. Oh, and every team in the top 9 probably needs to be looking at QBs. Unless one of those teams wants Jones, I'm not seeing it. |

Newton was a "power rusher", he was basically a DE (size wise) that could throw. Guys that size (big Ben is another example) can't stay competitive athletically for all that long. That's why Allen gets the reactions he is getting. Groot is a RB/WR size wise, and that's better for his continued elite athleticism. What he has to avoid is basically RG3ing himself, which you can tell he is doing a good job of avoiding the worst hits. You can bet his contract situation is playing a huge part in his on field absence this year, so I wouldn't hold that against him. |
|
Something else to consider with Groot is that he is acting as his own agent and the kid is a moron who has a very inflated opinion of how much guaranteed money he should be getting (in part due to how much Watson got). Its tough to negotiate with someone like that.

He wants to experience it. Why is this a nearly month long media story? Sensory deprivation is a no shit torture technique. It's the kind of think the CIA, the KGB, and Mossad does to psychologically break people. Subjecting yourself to it voluntarily and paying for the privilege is bananas. I'm not one to really get into recreational chemicals, but I'm going to go out on a little bit of a limb and assume that maybe it's a tiny bit different than smoking a blunt or doing a few shots. I’m gonna assume someone paying for a darkness retreat, and planning for it months in advance is slightly different than state sponsored torture. I certainly might be wrong. What will you say here in a few months when Rodgers is getting waterboarded or jumper-cabled to reset his chakras or some shit? I’ll think of it as the circumstances suggest. |

Quoted: Via The Leap: Rodgers still wandering in the darkness (literally) As of the time of writing, Aaron Rodgers has not resurfaced following his planned "darkness retreat." Until he does, the Packers won't know what their future holds. To the best of anyone's knowledge, Aaron Rodgers has not yet emerged from his multi-day "darkness retreat." Even if he has, no word has surfaced as to whether he plans to continue his NFL career. That means that until further notice, the Green Bay Packers also find themselves wandering in the darkness in a certain sense.

I bet half the NFL smokes pot once a year or more. Ultimately this darkness retreat is an expensive attempt to alter his conscious state. He’s single and rich, and he apparently reads a lot of books.

It's not like a ultra-marathon or multi-day hunting trip in the mountains are physically fun, but people have a blast doing them & preparing for them. A darkness retreat is weird for sure, but I don't really see it any differently.
