    If you are into animated movies then David is a good one and it isn't overly in your face religious either. I would give it a 7 out of 10. Not as good as some of the Pixar movies but still a good animated film.

    RB’s tend to get far less in NIL money which follows the NFL way of thinking recently.

    Who says no between a Kuminga and Kuzma swap?

    I think the problem is that the individual teams can't survive on their own. Probably is best the ones who don't own their network just band together and make one big network. I have always thought the NHL and MLB would make a great pairing. There is only a small overlap is in April and then playoffs go to their normal channels. If MLB takes over the teams that don't already own their broadcasting then having the games on Amazon or another streaming service would be best. It would then be on the teams to find a local broadcasting channel so the old fogies can watch on cable.

    Not sure how that is on Fickell or a detriment to him. The UW staff didn’t see him as a pass catching TE and neither did PC’s staff. Sometimes coaches are wrong about a player it happens a lot and it happens to some of the best coaches. I am not really all that worried about a 5th year TE that went somewhere else and had success good for him. The players ahead of him were better than him talent wise. Also I don’t believe he would have had that much success at WI when the QB couldn’t even stay upright or accurately throw the ball to wide open receivers. Mason had as many receiving yards as Nowakowski had. Think about that for a second at Indiana Nowakowski had less receiving yards than Mason did at Wisconsin. With all of Wisconsin’s problems on offense TE wasn’t one of them. It was the QB and OL that were the main problems. You can’t catch passes when the QB is on his back or throwing inaccurately.

    I love the scoop tortilla chips as you can get more dip in them and also it doesn’t spill all over the place. Scoop > regular and I will fight you on this!

    There was a lot of crying when the Brewers didn’t sign him and that the world was ending because of this. Was just your normal off season of people complaining of not signing a high “quality” free agent.

    The NFC South sucks. The 4 seed could be a team with a losing record.

    I am and still am for NIL money going to the players. It was ridiculous for the NCAA to restrict this. Just because they play for a school and get a scholarship doesn’t mean they can’t make money off of their skill sets. It would be like telling those students they can’t get a job that pays them in their field until they graduate. Slavery in the US has been abolished for quite sometime now. College athletes were being treated as slaves for their schools. I am fine with schools not paying the players but the players should be able to get paid however they see as appropriate. If it is from a booster fine if it is from a local business also fine. If it is from a corporation also fine. The NCAA like usual botched it and fumbled with actually doing things that would help the sports and athletes. The NCAA is just looking out for itself and how much money it can bring in.

    Money isn’t the factor that the Brewers determine who gets traded it’s how close they are to free agency and if they can get players back that will improve the team. Williams and Hader were traded because of how close they were to free agency not their cost. The Brewers signing other relievers has no impact on the Brewers plans for Ashby as the Brewers tend to like having depth in the bullpen just like other teams do. Though the Brewers do tend to bring in more depth than other teams do. Most teams are going to need more relievers than they have in their opening day roster throughout the season due to injuries or the relievers just sucking. The Brewers adding to the bullpen probably has more to do with them seeing Ashby as a starter and wanting more depth in the bullpen. I wouldn’t be surprised if both Hall and Ashby start out as starters in the rotation during spring training and the first month of the season before one is moved to the bullpen. The same can probably be said about Gasser.

    Thanks Packers D. Now I don't have to worry about the game tomorrow!

    Apparently the $20mm cap on spending is not enforceable or teams are treating it as non enforceable and are not scared of the committee watching this. PSU, LSU and Auburn are rumored to be going anywhere between $10-16mm over the $20mm maximum.
  15. nate82
    Rumor is that the top 4 QB’s in the transfer portal will get $4mm+. I think we can exclude UW as a landing spot for any of the top 5. Probably just best to stick with what UW has already and hope for the best. Leavitt’s starting point is rumored to be $4mm and could go as high as $6mm. Raiola and Sorsby are reportedly also in the same range.

    In what world is that realistic? Even Willy Wonka would call this a fantasy.

    My stock positions that I purchased in 2025 that I will be keeping. NNE, QUBT, EQX, SES, RKLB, ACHR, SERV, OKLO, and AMKR. I am completely unsure of which ones I am going to dump.
  18. nate82
    They will have to commit to spending more to do so. Along with the QB position the OL is one of the most expensive in terms of NIL and profit sharing from TV deals and ticket sales. I am going to assume that UW is splitting the $20mm that they can spend evenly to MBB, women’s volleyball and football. I don’t believe there is any investment of that $20mm in any other sports other than the men’s and women’s hockey teams. There maybe some going to wrestling but I doubt it is all that much. Probably something like 50% football, 35% MBB, 10% women’s volleyball, 3% hockey and then whatever is left to the other sports maybe if it doesn’t go to the football program or MBB. I believe the $20mm profit sharing is going up to $25mm but I can’t remember exactly if that is the number or if it is more. The majority of schools have football getting 60% or more of that profit sharing from TV deals and ticket sales. The profit sharing with the players is separate from NIL money.

    About a month ago I had the Lions easily walking into the playoffs and winning the division now they are easily walking out of the playoffs and finishing third and possibly fourth in the division.

    I got the norovirus last Christmas. Thankfully no sickness this year. The norovirus is seriously the worst thing I have ever gotten. The worst 48 hours of my life by far. That is one nasty virus.

    LOL. How are we supposed to know they were going to onside kick.

    He has never posted anything greater than 0 for OAA in his entire career in RF. He gets horrible reads and jumps on balls. He basically makes the plays he should make anything with an out probability >80% anything below that and he is allowing hits in RF. That is not someone the Brewers are going to stick in RF. Again his best position is in LF or at DH. He is only a RF because he is playing for the Angels anywhere else he is a DH or LF. He should be playing in LF if he is playing any of the OF spots.
  23. nate82
    None have all that much value hence why I said not enough.
  24. nate82
    Adell in RF would be a huge mistake. While he is very athletic he just doesn't get good reads on balls hit into the OF and his arm is below average for a RF. You would need to have a prime Lorenzo Cain playing CF to make up for Adell's defense in RF and Frelick is no where near a prime Cain in CF. His best position is in LF and that isn't really a good place to put him either he is still a negative in LF defensively. His best position defensively is at DH. You would need to give up more than Mitchell to get Adell and at that point it just wouldn't be worth it for an all bat and no defense LF/DH. He is about a 1 WAR player which I wouldn't want to give up all that much for him. Power wise he is nice but everything else is just average or way below average.

    Can only play who you can play.
