Yes but if McCarthy ends up being mid you just committed 4 years of cap pain for years you won't be able to compete.

Such is the way of the NFL - and at least Vikes fans have a superstar they can latch on to.

What do you need explained to you? Other than he is one of the best and most talented musicians in your lifetime.

Gutter explained it pretty well.

Some of his latter stuff ( i'm looking at you 'Change The World' ) is not good.

Um.

I bet MICH's favorite characters are Homelander and Stormfront.

I guess since they have a rookie QB contract now they can do that.
For me? I'd rather wait to see if my rookie showed signs of top 10 potential before that investment...bc if not, in todays NFL, you already have to start thinking about tear down with the Vikings pieces and the teams around them.

So 18.
22.
20.
22.
22.

Age absolutely matters.
For those who agree that age matters, here are LeBron and Magic stats at the same age of the other three players chosen:

30 PPG, 7.9 RPG, 7.2 APG, 48.4% FG
18.6 PPG, 9.6 RPG, 9.5 APG, 53.7% FG ( also 2.7 SPG )

Yes, may I please have the ages and FG% included?

May I also get ages and FG%'s with those stats plz?
i.e. the first player, is that at age 22 - and if not, may I have his/her stats at age 22?
Could those stats for that first player at age 22 maybe be, I dunno, something like:

30 PPG, 7.9 RPG, 7.2 APG, 48.4% FG?

Jay Bilas has kinda gone meh to me over the last few years.
I used to love the guy -- I still think he is the most well versed in the field -- but he's gone full in on making college sports pro as if it was the only clear option ( when it really wasn't ).
So yea, he's a meh now.

Tatum and JJ Redick ( the modern JJ Redick ) are the only Dookies I kinda like.
Kansas was on Tatum's final list of schools.

Jefferson breaks contract records wide open.

He's extremely talented but this is not something I invest in at this level at this stage in Minnesota's NFL cycle.

I suppose that elephant is the racism angle which is becoming prominent on social media. There's no doubt that it's a factor ( to me ) but I think primarily it's as Illy put it. In a sense, it'd be if Trae Young ( this is my comp for her - very talented but not justifying the hype ) came into the le...

Rookie of the year for sure but not game changing player like a Jordan, LeBron, Wilt etc.

37% is not a good shooting percentage.
She had 3 points tonight.

I said it before but the WNBA needs her to be a Jordan and not, I dunno, a Trey Young.

Wait 17 PPG is 14th in the league?
wut?

17 PPG on 37% shooting isn’t what I’d call backing it up though.

Next season I won’t watch a game if it starts past 8:59 ET on a weekday or is on ESPN plus. I also ain’t watching that bullshit NIL deal I think during Thanksgiving.

That’s what half the games?
Hard to quit full turkey and I’m still tied to KJ and Dajuan.

I’m guessing several of her teammates don’t like her too.

The NCAA could have laid out the rules fairly and spent more of the money they hoarded enforcing them at the first signs of the shift.

They could also have tried to keep all of this money out of the sport to treat it less like a business. Not everything needs to be a business.

Boy is that Angel Reese some serious trash.

I’m torn bc I do think the premise behind the NCAA was correct…they just clown show oil baron’d it. Once they are done we all know what kind of organization takes its place—one that’s purely about sports and money. It will be what some predicted in this thread—pro sports for younger adults borrowing...
