  1. Is this the same team?
  2. Allen is a poor fit in most offenses other than one that runs the I formation the majority of the time. He does pass block really good. If he was a bit faster he would fit into nearly any kind of offensive scheme.
  3. Close but I think you need to go at least 4 years maybe 5 to outbid other teams. The $/year is right.
  4. None of the players mentioned would even be desirable but now I think the Twins would really be interested in Peralta if they are looking at cutting payroll and won't be bringing back Gray it sounds like. I would still do this trade with the Twins: Peralta to the Twins for Brooks Lee, Soto (SP) and Festa (SP). The one veteran that might interest the Brewers is 2B Jorge Polanco. He has two options remaining on the contract he signed in 2019; a $10.5 million option in 2024 and a $12 million option in 2025. Polanco posted a 115 OPS+ in 2023. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlb-rumors-yankees-eye-jordan-montgomery-reunion-plus-cody-bellinger-and-juan-soto-twins-could-cut-payroll/ View full rumor

  6. He is not going to be fired. Not sure why anyone thinks he will be. Unless LaFleur is fired which is also not going to happen unless the Packers are blown out in all of their remaining games.
  7. It is and I have leftovers from Cracker Barrel today. Mmmmm soooo gooooood.
  8. Waxing Gibbous is an astronomy thing not an astrological thing.
  9. Depends on the buyer. If they are looking at the property as a rental property then having someone there already paying should be a positive. Also would depend on if they think repairs or upgrades would be needed. If not then a positive if they think otherwise then probably a negative.
  10. The team can offer less but I don't see him accepting. The 7/80 is definitely not a bit high. It is a bit low as you are not going to get an Albies contract accepted and you are probably looking at the low end being what Acuna signed for 8/100. But I don't see Contreras even accepting the same contract that Acuna signed for. Plus Contreras being on the older side this would be his one and only big time contract so for a 7-year deal you are going to have to overpay for years 5-7. Hence why I believe you will need to get closer to the 15-17 per year average. For the 7/80 it is not enough as you are only averaging about $11mm per year. You will need to up that amount or give Contreras an opt out after year 5 which only gives you one free agent year. It just doesn't make sense for Contreras to sign a 7/80 type of a deal unless you are giving Contreras an out after year 5. His arbitration years 2 and 3 should get him at $10mm in year 2 and over the $11mm in his final arbitration year. You have to pay for that final arbitration year and the free agent years you are buying out. His brother was also older when he signed his deal and his average per year is about $18mm. The final three years to equal what his brother got would need to be in the $15-17mm range which you already broke down. So the $15M / $16M / $17M is what you would need to get to in order for him to sign.
  11. Mariners and Dbacks make a trade.
  12. He would turn that down not enough $/year. I think he would accept something closer to 15-17 per year. So if you want to go 7-years then something like 7/108 is what you would need to offer.
  13. Hasn’t Dike also dropped some sure catchable passes? Didn’t he drop a sure TD in the first or second game of the year? I feel like he has dropped more easy catches this year. That maybe why he hasn’t been in as much along with the injuries.
  14. Much better to be pessimistic after a big win then you can’t be disappointed.
  15. This team is looking like a 10-14 seed tourney team. Really early right now and they could pull off some upsets but I just can't see this team being anything better than a 10 seed. Maybe I am wrong but this looks to be another disappointing year for the Badgers.
  16. Seeing Marquette beat Kansas is always nice. I used to work with someone who was so annoyingly a KU fan.
  17. Is Doug Melvin the new GM for the Cardinals? This seems like the Wolf, Garza, Looper, Capuano and Suppan signings.
  18. Badgers to play in Ireland in 2027 against Pittsburgh.
  19. Could just be a scheduling conflict for the others. Offseason vacation or other commitments. You would think the team’s beat writer would get the name correct.
  20. Thanks. The authentication was more for insurance purposes. Not sure I will ever sell.
  21. Mertz looks a lot closer to his freshman year than any other year at UW. He did get injured and looks like he will miss the remainder of the season. He definitely looks a lot better in Florida than he did at UW. I think the talent around him plus having bad coaching at UW was the issue. Mertz had problems at UW but he also had no one to throw to and a very poor coaching staff who had checked out years ago.
  22. If you pass and you don't take a sack or don't make a completion it stops the clock and allows the other team to save a timeout. On third down sure take the chance on a short route to see if you can get the 1st down. But you can't throw the ball away and you need your QB to either take a sack or make the completion. Rather risky to throw on 2nd and 3rd down and allow for the other team to pocket a timeout.
