    It's funny, the people who say that a certain announcer is bad rarely ever say who is good.

    Check with Montana. When I was laid off from Anheuser-Busch after 8 months I seem to recall having the option of filing in either Missouri or Wisconsin; can't remember if it was because WI was where I moved there from or where I moved to after being laid off, but I seem to remember that I could choose either. Quick internet search says Montana eligibility is the first four of the last five quarters. This quarter isn't finished yet, so I believe the period would be Oct 1st 2023 to Sept 30th, 2024 as having wages.

    It was actually to play with Klesmit. A few years ago Tonje hosted Klesmit at Colorado State when Klesmit was considering playing there. They stayed in touch and Klesmit reached out to him and said, "Bro, you gotta come play here."

    Morrison - very wary of him. Hip surgery for a CB scares me - CBs need to have swivel hips, and I'm not sure if he'll have that coming off of hip surgery. Deone Walker - concerns about him being too tall for an interior defender, not being able to get or sustain a low enough pad level, some concerns about conditioning correlating with a high pad level. Ideal 5-tech for a 3-4 team, but that's not GB's defense anymore. Zy Alexander - would not mind at all if they grabbed him in the 3rd, maybe even 2nd. Lots of experience going against SEC offenses as well as Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas in practice. Amos - safest bet at CB, good length. Not sure about #23, but would love to slide down 8-10 spots and grab him and an extra pick in the process. Hairston - warming on me, shoulder surgery concerns me a bit after dealing with that with Jaire, but that may be more on Jaire. Looked good at the Senior Bowl, if the medicals and toughness checks out would be good with him in the 2nd. Porter - was a WR until 2022. Great length and athleticism for a CB, clocked at almost 22mph at the Senior Bowl. Still a bit raw, but understands the game from the receiver's lens and is nowhere near his ceiling. Revel - need to see how he runs. Can't have a CB lose any speed after ACL surgery. Quincy Riley and O'Donnell Fourtune I think are underrated and would be great picks on Day 3 if still there.

    According to sources, Gard has already been getting calls from agents for kids who plan on entering the portal or who would enter the portal if UW was interested.

    For the $17.5M in cash he is due next year, they can probably find someone almost as good either through FA (consider the $17.5M in cash to be a signing bonus) or trade ($17.5M in salary) who will be a lot more available and reliable. Barron is going to have the most experience among draftable CBs, but he'll be almost 24 when the season starts and the Packers generally don't like to have a 2nd contract extend into a player's 30's.

    Get Peacock on Black Friday/Cyber Monday. Last year I got one year for $19.95, year before I got one year for $1.99/mo. I cancel in October/early Nov when there usually aren't any meaningful UW football or basketball games on for the next few weeks (usually UW football is on ESPN/Fox/B10/CBS/NBC unless they are playing Rutgers or Maryland), then resubscribe on BF/CM. No football games on Peacock last year, Arizona was the only meaningful basketball game on. Networks aren't allocated for the upcoming season yet, but the only football game that might be on Peacock is Nov 8th vs Washington as neither team was good last year. Possibly Indiana on 11/15, but Indiana was good last year so probably not on Peacock.

    Close - student visa. If someone is here on a student visa, they cannot earn income (possible exception is if it is directly from the university for a university job, but it has to be directly from the university).

    UW offered on 1/13/25. In today's age of college athletics, nothing is set in stone until the first day of classes. And even then, I'm not sure it is.
  11. LouisEly
    Between Tonje this year and Storr last year, you have to think that any good transfer is going to give UW a long, hard look.
  12. LouisEly
    Yeah, that was absurd. One was clearly "flagrant" and one clearly was not. And if the call on McGee is the "letter of the law", then I'd have guys pretending to get hit in the balls on screens every game.

    Not quite clear on how you're wording this, but if you let go of someone who is over 40 and then hire a graduate a few months later that could be a case for an age discrimination lawsuit (over 40 is a protected class) by the person you let go. I think that's what you mean, but the wording is a little unclear to me.

    Before this "Gutey drafts athletic players with no production" gets out of control, Lukas Van Ness had 13.5 sacks (plus 20 TFLs) in two seasons (RS freshman and RS soph years, redshirted true FR year) and led the team both years. Gary had 6 sacks his true soph year (plus 12 TFLs), but only 3.5 his junior year (plus 8 TFLs) due to injury.

    What I would recommend is to: Pull the offer for the upcoming graduate. This is not an uncommon situation. They have over three months to find a new job. Tell the new graduate: Why you have to pull the offer That you will absolutely be a reference for them in their job search and write a letter to anyone they interview with explaining the situation and why you chose to hire them in the first place That you will post on LinkedIn to your network and to any professional organizations for your occupation/industry the situation, a recommendation for this candidate, and ask if anyone is hiring You will help in their job search in any way you can It sucks, but from my 30,000 foot view I think that's the best course of action. I don't think the optics will be good if you let someone go and then hire the graduate a couple of months later.

    At this point, there isn't anyone I'm really sold on at #23. I don't think there's much if any difference in talent between #23 and #38. I wouldn't mind if they traded down a little and got an extra 2nd round pick or a 3rd that they package with their other 3rd to move up into the 2nd. Plenty of talent projected to go in the 2nd at positions of need: CB: Barron, Amos, Porter WR: Bech, Higgins, Harris Edge: Jackson, Scourton, Tuimoloau, Burch, Ivey DL: Harmon, Walker OL: Milum, Jackson

    During the regular season the Packers had more sacks than the Eagles (45 to 41), more knockdowns (43 to 41), and more pressures (143, 22.1% vs 111, 17.9%) against a similar strength of schedule (3rd for Packers, 5th for Eagles). I wouldn't turn down Garrett if the price is right, but I wouldn't give up the future for him either based on one game against a non-common opponent. Packers don't need to beat the Chiefs to get to the Super Bowl, they need to beat the Eagles. And with Hurts, you need to keep him in the pocket which means staying in your rush lanes which means sacrificing some of your pass rush. Otherwise, you give him a running lane and he's running for more yards than Barkley.

    Other than not having MLB Network, I like it. Has everything else for sports. Cost is about $80/mo including taxes.
  19. LouisEly
    I'm at peace with losing to the Super Bowl champs. And holding them to the fewest yards and points of any team in the playoffs, including a gift short-field TD courtesy of the refs. Arguably you could say that the Packers looked the best against them of any team the Eagles played.
  20. LouisEly
    If you look at the top four scorers in the league: SG-A (#11 overall) Giannis (#15 overall) Jokic (2nd round) Maxey (#21 overall) Add to Jalen Brunson (2nd) and most of the top MVP candidates this season could have been had or are very close to that 15-20+ range.
  21. LouisEly
    All they need to do is make it a 2nd that upgrades to a 1st if the team has more than X number of wins (say, 7), that should make it a first but not if it's a top-10-ish, which is usually teams with 6 or fewer wins. That condition makes it very likely that it's a first, but should protect it from being a top-10 pick. If a team is really good, it's likely that they will be good the next year as well which almost guarantees a first. My point stands though, you should never, ever trade an unconditional future 1st.

    Among 315 players who have played at least 30 games this season, Kuzma has the 294th lowest effective FG% against him and Porter has the 305th lowest. Guys they guard aren't shooting well against them this year.

    ESPN says Beauchamp was traded for Kevin Porter Jr.. Porter missed 23-24 but in 22-23 averaged over 19ppg for HOU. Also saying Baldwin and cash to the Spurs.
  24. LouisEly
    ESPN has it as adding two void years to the end of the contract, going from two void years to four void years. The second void year has a cap hit of $9M, so assuming the two additional void years are similar that creates $18M in cap space. Watson restructured his contract before last season that created $40M+ in carryover cap to this season. Spotrac and OTC both account for that carryover in their calculations of the Browns being over the cap. OTC has the Browns with $353M in cap liabilities with a top 51 of $304M and $40M of carryover dead cap. Spotrac has $275M in league cap plus $42M in cap rollover (from Watson's restructure before the season) for an adjusted cap of $317M with an active roster of $311M and $40M in dead cap. Their top 51 is $344M for a net of -27.5M before accounting for draft picks. Assuming the two void years create $18M in cap space, they're almost $10M over, not accounting for draft picks.

    Would love to see pictures of that
