    +1. Short of a covid outbreak on gameday. I know that Marquette (barely) beat Wisconsin (early in the season), but if you watched the Marquette-UNC game you would not be saying that Wisconsin is one and done against UNC. Marquette dominated them.

    It's all about the guaranteed money; these deals are always artificially inflated to make the agents look good. Players almost never see the last year of the deal before being released or restructured - sometimes the last two years. I think even without the drop in the salary cap it was quite possible that both Smiths got restructured this year and certainly restructured or released before the 2022 season. The real question is going to be 2022. Rodgers, Bakh, Adams, Jones, Clark, Z. Smith, Alexander, Amos, P. Smith... they're already at $197M for 2022 with only 28 players signed, and all of these restructures mean more dead cap space in 2022 if they have to release guys. Preston Smith and Billy Turner, if released, will now account for a combined $11.5M in dead cap space.

    Absolutely buy your own separate modem and router. They'll last for years. Go to Best Buy and the modems will say on the box which cable systems they are compatible with. For a router look for one with antennas as they will have more range. Dual band, as the 5Ghz wavelength has faster speeds. At least three antennas. Worth paying more for a good router. Super easy to set up on your own, no need to have Charter come over.

    Packers have apparently restructured both Amos and Preston Smith. No details on specifics.

    I think it's meant to be a small incentive to resign veterans. If a guy might net you a 3rd or 4th you might let him walk, but if the most you can get is a 5th then maybe you think about resigning him.

    I think people under-rate how tough the Big East conference is. Marquette dominated UNC at UNC and UNC is 10-6 in the ACC and 10-1 at home this year; yes, Marquette was their only home loss. Marquette's two non-conference losses were to #12 Oklahoma State (who just beat #6 WVU without OSU's best player and possible #1 overall draft pick) and to UCLA (17-8 overall, 13-6 in conference; Lunardi has them as a 10-seed). Marquette's strength of schedule is somewhere between #29 and #34 in the country. Wisconsin is between #6 and #11 (and all of the top 6 are Big Ten schools). ESPN has 12 Big Ten teams amonng the top 13 in SOS.

    I saw an announcement once for a "Butts-McCracken" wedding. I'm guessing they didn't hyphenate.

    Northwestern's star CB Greg Newsome II reportedly ran a 4.31 on his first attempt at their pro day. No wonder it was so hard for the Badgers' receivers to get open.

    I think this is probably more accurate: https://uwbadgers.com/news/2020/12/16/2021_Signing_day.aspx

    Maybe the refs need bigger monitors to review the calls. Maybe that's the problem - they're looking at 20" monitors (even smaller on NFL sidelines), and we're watching on 55" 4K TVs. But yeah, after 90 seconds, go with the call on the floor.

    One of my direct reports, a mid-20's male, decided to go on a last-minute vacation with some friends to Miami. Guess what? Thankfully, we are remote until at least September.

    You are not alone on an island with this one... You will almost exclusively see that among females, and the reason is because they think it will make it harder for people to find and stalk them online. Whether or not it really does, I don't know, but that is the stated reason.

    They did talk to Love, but I'm pretty sure it was virtual. But prior to 2020, the highest they have ever drafted someone they brought in was Jace Sternberger (3rd) and Oren Burks (3rd). They also spoke with Deguara (3rd) last year, but again, pretty sure it was virtual.

    Since the beginning of the TT era, the Packers have never brought in a 1st or 2nd round draft pick. The highest they have drafted anyone they brought in has been the 3rd round.

    Hopefully that will allow us to have a normal Memorial Day weekend.

    With all of the problems they've had (and all of the money they've thrown at) finding TE's the last decade, why in the hell would you want to get rid of Tonyan?
  17. LouisEly
    I wouldn't trust that site too much. Neither Roger McCreary nor Zamir White nor Tyler Vrabel declared for the draft, and Ronnie Perkins will long gone by day 3.

    That's definitely my second favorite. Last summer when they shut down the running trails I used to run up and down Ashland right past it.

    I'd be willing to bet that it has been informally communicated to teams, but not publicly communicated because they are still trying to negotiate things with the player's union. Thus why teams have been told that it won't be below a certain level, but could be higher.

    I'm in suburbs, and I prefer any of the Moretti's locations. Their deep dish is okay, but their thin crust is why I go there. The other places that are great are Home Run Inn, and of course an old favorite that is still around, Barnaby's. Haven't tried Pequod's but I will keep it in mind. Ironic, in that I've found Pequod's to be the closest thing to Rocky Rococo's that I've found in Chicago. Pequod's sauce is a little spicier, but overall it's fairly close.

    I'm guessing this was leaked by his agent and no such offer exists. I have no proof of this. And I guarantee that's not guaranteed money. Easy to say the offer is $15M/year when the last two years average $25M/year in non-guaranteed salary and bonuses. If it exists, it's backloaded to the hilt.

    I know that after I move back to Madison I'm putting on a good 10 lbs and Rocky's is going to be the prime culprit. I grab a couple of slices before/after the Badgers games. Way, way better option than the frozen burger patties from the area bars (and, I believe, less expensive too).

    Spoiler alert... Round 1 - Samuel Cosmi, OT, Texas (only 8 pressures in ~350 snaps last year) Round 4 - Josh Myers, C/G, Ohio State

    I think lots of guys are going to sign one-year deals because of the cap going down. There just isn't a lot of space to sign guys, and they'll take their chances that they can get a bigger deal next offseason if attendance returns. For veterans who will have to sign a one-year deal for around minimum, those guys could easily sit out a year.

    One more thing about YouTube TV - they only deliver audio in 2.1, not surround sound. I think cable is worth the extra $30/month.
