Silly Burrito posted:I just saw a mock on the Athletic where the Raiders traded up to five to get him. He’s basically Cam Newton with none of the football IQ. So scouts will just assume they can develop football IQ in this guy who has never shown any, and will pay him handsomely for the chance. Good for him and all. I’m glad he’s capitalizing on his limited football skill set while he can. But like also I just find it intensely funny. And kinda sad that he’s going to be an NFL DRAFT PICK having never really done anything of consequence in Gainesville.

The sourness out of your typical Florida fan (not you guys) would be absolutely amazing if he somehow ends up just owning the NFL though. Won't happen, but it'd be fun. e: if I take myself back to pre-Mahomes and not drafting a QB in the first round since 1983 I still don't want Richardson for the record. But I don't wish him harm, if he's good I'm gonna be happy for him.

Also, I think the part that would drive me most crazy is the university and fanbase celebrating him as a conquering hero when he did precisely jackshit in college.

I guess if folks really want to take Richardson in the 1st then he was smart to leave, but man I cannot see him having a long career in the NFL. Dude is not really playing QB out there.

Looks like UF’s DC is officially leaving for the NFL, which does not upset me after the performance last year. Makes me wonder if he was suggested to keep his options open.The Notorious ZSB posted:I guess if folks really want to take Richardson in the 1st then he was smart to leave, but man I cannot see him having a long career in the NFL. Dude is not really playing QB out there. He’s got a cannon and is occasionally accurate with an OK deep ball, but he’s made of glass and makes awful awful decisions with the ball. He throws when he should run and vice versa. He has ball security issues. I dunno, I would be pissed if my NFL team spent first round money on him. Just the biggest gamble, with no evidence of a payoff. “Occasionally accurate” is not the recipe for success in the NFL.

The list of physically gifted QBs that couldn't put the pieces together mentally is so, so, so much longer than the opposite list that I just don't know why they keep falling in love with these types of athletes. Yeah every once in a millenium you get Josh Allen. You also get 999 Heath Shulers.

I figure the insane roulette wheel that is drafting is just a byproduct of the NFL's decision to live with the NCAA as its only farm/development system. If the USFL survives, you might see a decent spot for these high-risk/high-reward QBs to develop.

Soylent Pudding posted:I sometimes wonder how much is ego driven "well obviously I can develop the raw potential in a way those less competent guys at his college couldn't"? It is just as hard to develop the physical aspects of someone's game. Look at all the noodle armed TTU QB's that failed in the league. Some of these guys were sharp as hell (Kingsbury, Harrell) but it wasn't until Mahomes who had both that a TTU QB actually had league success. It's rare that any QB that is lacking in one aspect of the game (physical ability or mental) is able to transition to the NFL.

I think this happens to some small extent, but rarely and mostly with low round guys who aren't super athletes. I mean CJ Beathard completed passes in the NFL. Trevor Siemian was somehow a starter for a while. Neither were ever actually any good, but they were both way better than my expectations for them which were buried below the ground.

Trees can get REAL HEAVY and REAL BRITTLE when they're covered in ice.

I would guess the end result (after a lot of chaotic court activity) is that the law proves to be vague enough to be effectively meaningless.

I can't see a company with $400 million in annual revenue in the running for a bunch of football games. Maybe their parent company, who owns a shitload of local TV stations, is trying to launch some kind of Jefferson Pilot kind of thing and is offering bottom dollar for content other companies don't take? e: And that trial balloon is quietly shot down over the Canadian arctic https://twitter.com/slmandel/status/1629190891801018369 dirty shrimp money fucked around with this message at 20:03 on Feb 24, 2023 |

A lot of sports organizations are probably freaked out about the Bally's Sports bankruptcy, so they could be happy with any network that can pay up-front, or cancel quickly if they go broke. Bally's was funding most of the baseball franchises and that's going to be a huge clusterfuck as Bally's was directly paying teams for the broadcast rights.

Huge interest in middle schoolers and the education thereof by 75-year-old retirees whose own kids hate them. Not just a Florida thing, either. My racist old coot of a mother-in-law is obsessed about how we've gotten rid of corporal punishment in elementary schools.

My FiL’s newest wife ran for school board (with no education experience) and won on a platform of bringing prayer back to schools. She’s like 70 and her kids are all in their thirties. Local GOP recruited and backed her, because SC is addicted to fundamentalism. So weird. Thankfully she only served one term. Now we just have to listen to her rant about AGENDA 21!!!!! at holiday gatherings.

This makes me want to run for a school board position on 'you know, let me tell you 60's revolutionary culture and why they were right' despite having no children. I wouldn't win, but I'd be able to talk some poo poo. If I wanted to I could be your most annoying uncle at Thanksgiving but from the left side.

Every board is different. I was reading up on local school board election and saw this comment under the article in the local paper. "If [candidate] authored AYSO’s [large youth soccer league] transgender-participant policy, he had no business doing so. He offered no option for non-binary, gender-expansive, gender-fluid kids to participate on a gender-affirming team." I can't even decipher that without making a ton of assumptions. This is the same district where the black community has successfully led a push to build a new school intended to resegregate a ward

I think a good 75% of people who run for school board are real pissed off about something stupid. Right now it’s CRT; a decade ago it was the tea party.

Per CBS:quote:Georgia defensive lineman Jalen Carter, potentially the No. 1 pick in the forthcoming 2023 NFL Draft, has been issued an arrest warrant tying back to the fatal Jan. 15 single-car accident that killed a Georgia football player and recruiting analyst. The Athens-Clarke County Police Department issued the warrant related to alleged reckless driving and racing, both misdemeanors.
