#NFLDraft community folks out there, how are you personally weighting the PSU game for Ashton Jeanty? Arguably his worst game of the year, on the biggest stage, against the best competition, at the time of the year where we want to see 1st round NFL talent look special. Outlier or warning sign?

Anyone else notice that the conservative elites no longer allow Trump to do anything important without a handler? Elon or JD has to be there at all times to keep him on script. Trump has clearly lost the cognitive ability to be President on his own, and he wasn't exactly working with much to start

Yes, 2024 was the #NFL Year of the Running Back. However, it did not prove you should draft a HB in RD1. Barkley - 1st Henry - 2nd Bijan - 1st Taylor - 2nd Gibbs- 1st Jacobs - 1st Williams - 5th Hubbard - 4th Jones - 5th Irving - 4th Only 4/10 were 1st round picks... yet 4/10 were 4th or later!

People always say the Cowboys are the most valuable sports franchise on earth, but I simply don’t believe that it would be sold for a higher price than if Madrid was on the market for private sale. Madrid would go for more, imo. It never will be sold privately, but it would be $12,000,000,000+ easy.

I frankly do not understand why the Rams seem so happy to move on from Stafford. He was a top 10 QB last year, they don't have a high Draft pick, and I do not see where they plan to find an equal or better QB who is cheaper and younger. McVay lucked his way into Stafford. Will it happen twice?

What a wild #UCL draw. LFC v PSG! A Madrid derby! A good path to the quarters for Villa, and a Bayern v Leverkusen draw. Amazing. PSG and LFC will feel like someone just kicked their nads.

After starting some film watching, I am really finding myself liking #ShedeurSanders over #CamWard. If I take a QB in the top 5, I want a guy who I fully believe can sit in the pocket when it is 3rd and 8y, and make a throw down the middle on a crosser. I see that more in Shedeur.

The #ChampionsLeague this year has been bonkers. So many upsets. So many heavyweight matches early on. How can you not love that on the same day Mbappe wipes City off of the map, Club Brugge is taking down Atalanta, and Juve! Insane. Meanwhile, United sit closer to the drop than 4th!

The refs did a pretty good job at the #SuperBowl this year. The only call I had issue with was the penalty on the long-snapper on the #Eagles first field goal. The guy breathes, at most. I had to watch the replay 3 times to figure out what they even saw. The NFL needs to chill on line movement.

Howie Roseman is the real MVP of this #SuperBowl. Assembling this #Eagles team, with amazing moves through free agency and the draft, is an all-time achievement. I think he has cemented a Hall of Fame spot with this win tonight. Congrats Eagles. Thanks for beating Kansas City for us!

People need to realize that private companies are not your friends, and historically they almost always side with the authoritarian regime. In every fascist/dictatorial state, private companies back the regime. They help the regime Perfect Example… The NFL banned BlueSky posting by teams.

From the Cleveland #Browns point of view, if you want to keep Garrett, you simply 1.)Give him a new deal, 2.) Draft a rookie QB, and 3.) Tell other teams that Garrett only goes as a package deal with Watson. Tell Myles you are happy to trade him... if Watson goes with him, lol. Two birds and all.

If you are the Washington Commanders you MUST go all out for Myles Garrett. Rookie QB contract teams rarely win Super Bowls because they are usually starting from scratch. The Commanders went from scratch to look out in a year. You will never have another chance to upgrade this much this fast.

I am normally very opposed to families intervening in the #NFLDraft to keep their child away from a certain team, but if ever there was a year, Prime/Cam Ward's parents need to make it abundantly clear that their children will not be going to Cleveland. If Watson leaves, then it becomes acceptable.

What an amazing overall result for the #BlueJackets on this leg of the road trip. 4pts of 6pts taken, some really good periods of play, and overall just breaking the trend of terrible road form. However... multiple injuries brings the heat down a bit. Cap this off with a W over Buffalo!

I am fairly content with #Rashford going to #AstonVilla. We needed to move him, he needed a move, and we get him out of here to a team we aren't really competing against. Hopefully he does well so we can sell him in the summer. If he bombs it will just be years of perma-loaning him abroad.

It's insane that #ManchesterUnited are considering selling Garnacho, and nuts that the rumored fee would be about £50m. Spurs just bid that amount for Mathys Tel. Tel will be 20 this spring, and had only 7 goals in 30 BuLi matches... as a ST... at Bayern. If he is £50m, then Garnacho is £80m.

Super Bowl Prediction 1.0 Chiefs 27 - 24 Eagles

Let's all be honest... none of us knew that an NFL ref could just grant points for actions considered unsporting in a way that is stopping another team from scoring. That being said, what if the Commanders did something like that starting at the 11y line? How far out can the actions start?

If any bookie is offering odds on a #Chiefs 4-peat, I would like to place a bet on it happening. No one is going to stop them right now, and the Bengals are at least two years away from rebuilding the defense so that Burrow can stop Mahomes again. Unless Mahomes gets injured, it's a 4-peat.

That was so underwhelming from Buffalo. At no point did it feel like they could win. They just don’t have the same caliber of players at various positions, they don’t have a coaching advantage, and it showed. I know it was supposed to be a rebuilding year for the Bills, and that shows too.

College Football is simply a different world today. Alabama is on social media having to beg fans for NIL money. USC can outspend most SEC teams. Texas/TA&M will be top teams as long as they have competent leadership. Teams with oil money will never struggle to find NIL money.

I think we could be entering an era where a B1G team is playing in the title game 7 of every 10 years. B1G teams simply have larger, wealthier alum bases. The SEC will be fine in the grand scheme, but they simply may no longer be able to control college football like they once did.

It feels so good to have the title back in Columbus. I've always felt we could have won a few years ago with Stroud if everyone was healthy, but the injuries simply couldn't be prevented. I'm so happy for #RyanDay to get his title, no matter how much he still makes me nervous. Go #Buckeyes!

O H I O

Tough one for Lamar. Two turnovers by any QB kill you in big games. This will be a long offseason. I wanted Buffalo to win, purely because I didn’t think the Ravens could take down Mahomes. Time to step it up, Josh Allen.
