Huh, regarding the spoiler I could have sworn he was around for at least a year of Stafford. He got kicked to the curb right before that apparently.

I think I'd very unwillingly and hesitantly pick Jon Kitna out of the options available, but I understand your reasoning.

I doubt this tactic would work today. You'd have to recite the @onlyfans instead. Nobody knows phone numbers except their own. I guess this is just another way the game has passed by the olds.

I ask people their phone numbers all day long at work. This isn't even true either.

Unless there's another story about Golden Tate, the rumor is that he broke up Russell Wilson's first marriage and that's why he wasn't resigned

edit: I just googled it and we can add Tate and KJ Wright to the group of former Russ teammates who dislike him

quote:

“I don’t want to go viral with this, I really don’t,” Wright said. “A few dudes came on here—off record, on record—and have said what they’ve said or how they felt about number 3. When you play this game, when you go through this journey, it’s all about the brothers. It’s all about the brotherhood. And when it’s all said and done, he’s got a lot of making up to do. He’s got a lot of phone calls to make. A lot of ‘Hey bro, I should’ve done better with that.’ And that’s the god honest truth. I couldn’t hold that inside, but he’s got a lot of making up to do.”

IIRC he burned Jalen Ramsey so hard one game Ramsey broke out in tears, and later on Ramsey dated and eventually impregnated Tate's sister, but those two things probably aren't related.

Probably loving some of this up.

If you’re getting that money in this RB market then honestly there’s no excuse he will give you that wouldn’t immediately lead to “yup all good! Where’s the check?”

I have to think that Irsay is looking at how Richardson is playing and suddenly woke up and fighting through his hangover realized that Taylor and Richardson together in the backfield is worth paying for.

it's so funny to me that Just Touchdowns O'Sullivan is a respected football content creator now

how things change

He was always a really good evaluator he just became famous recently for over-reacting to normal broken down plays and being overly critical. It's memeing but he deserves a little success for doing this for so long without attention.

Just be aware when watching his videos that when he freaks out over OL loving up or a QB making a bad decision it's hopefully an act. Bad plays happen all the time and look even worse in slow motion.

Yes. Frank Gehry is a professor. Ben Carson, an idiot but a gifted surgeon, taught at Johns Hopkins. The guy who did the first artificial heart transplant was also a professor. Lots of people who are very good at their job end up teaching.

Hm you know as I think about it… I’ve modified my opinion on this. You’re absolutely right. You do end up teaching when you slow down and can’t handle the fast pace. My con law professor successfully argued in front of the Supreme Court 5+ times. But he was honest as hell - he made his fortune and couldn’t handle the stress, so he chose an “easier on the heart” profession.

Every other one was clearly a lawyer who couldn’t hack litigation OR sucked at marketing. You can’t be bad at both.

IIRC Jacobs at least got like an extra mil guaranteed. Barkely’s was truly terrible, like 400k in incentives that depend on him having a monster year and making the playoffs. Which is looking like straight up trolling by the Giants.

So, yeah, nothing

Teaching is doing and teachers probably contribute more to society than one individual being exceptional at whatever you think they’re “doing”.

There are plenty of teachers out there who absolutely would have been the best at being a doctor or lawyer or whatever weird line you draw for what you think is a meaningful profession, but choose to teach instead from the beginning.
