Yeah, I was probably a little unfair saying 3 seasons. But no more than 6. The 6th season ends with the Battle of the Bastards, and that's when the show should've ended imo. I believe season 6 was the first one they were past the book material and just winging it. I'll give them credit for keeping it on the rails through BotB. But that season 7 opening, when Ed Sheeran showed up, I'll never forget seeing that and going "welp, this is over!". And then it just got worse and worse.

Yep, it's April. Can set your calendars by the annual Tyreek arrest.

While transcripts would say I majored in Chemistry/Secondary Ed at Fredonia, I think I actually earned a Doctorate in Euchre we played so much. All day, every day at the house, and every week at the Euchre tournament at Muldoon's. Ton of fun and ***** talking. I play on Euchre 3D now as well.

Yep, according to Spotrac it's $31.8M dead cap hit if they release him in 2027. Which saves them $21.6M off his cap hit of $53.4M if he stays on the roster. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/47598/tua-tagovailoa

He's there for 2 more years, no matter what. The dead cap is just not worth it. Will be interesting tho. If they flounder again this year, and they will, I could see Ross clean house and fire both Grier and McDaniel. That's the prevailing thought on why Grier is being given another year at all, Ross wants to replace both the GM and HC at the same time instead of this piecemeal stuff. If they end up with a new staff in 2026, I could see them giving Tua 1 last shot under the new guys and then cutting bait in 2027.

The first 3ish seasons, yes. But the moment you see Ed Sheeran just turn it off. Garbage.

We'll never be so advanced that we're able to fix how badly they ruined that show. 🤣

This would almost be a real concern... if there were any actual GoT fans left. That franchise went extinct and no bio-engineering is bringing it back. What a fall from glory.

Fake news. Not back from extinction. Just marketing hype for a biotech company.

Like $13M. Just re-sign him. edited for accuracy

This seems more likely

You know what I meant, ya wisenheimer!

Letting highly drafted RBs walk just to immediately use more high draft resources on replacing said RB is definitely something loser teams (Jets/Giants) would do. Hint, hint

Neither Cooper nor Douglas's situations were really anything like Cook's. They were already both on their 2nd contracts and had gotten their paydays a couple times over. Cook's camp would almost certainly use the trade to leverage a new deal immediately. If there is a chance he holds out on the Bills, it's almost guaranteed he'd do that to whatever new team is trading for him.

Exactly. And in a case like Cook's, an extension would be part of the deal, which would have to be worked out well before the trade. Doesnt happen often. Definitely isnt happening with Cook.

The title was only half right. It is now still only half right. Virgil's just saving time combining stuff

It's not really a great draft class in general imo, and even worse picking so late. There isnt even anyone I'd be that excited about at 30, let alone beyond. Hoping Beane can find some diamonds in the rough. But I'm already planning on "getting through" the draft and on to OTAs.

Yeah, you would think if McD is such a Trust the Process/culture guy that, in year 8, he could absorb some players with character issues and get the most out of them on the field. Not sure that's actually played out tho.

Seems like a knucklehead whose dumbassery is already affecting his on-field performance. Pass.

It's the first move by any Division rival in at least the last 5 years that made me go "ah crap, that might be a problem someday".

The tag will be over $14M/yr. If you're going to do that for one or two years, you might as well sign him to a real, 3yr deal at that amount and keep everyone happy.

Patriots. With Vrabel they have a chance to actually split with us.
