Now you're just some QB that I used to know

When NFL players do it its called "meeting contract incentives" but when he does it its "illegal gambling." I thought this was America.

I think advertising for gambling should be banned, yes.

There's a tribal casino near me that's been running a radio ad recently along the lines of "Inflation got you down? Solve your financial woes by winning BIG!" and it's probably the single worst thing I've ever heard on any kind of advertisement in any medium. Just really gross, sick poo poo.

lol that slogan sounds like something Troy McClure would have said.

(You may remember him from such self help films as �Smoke yourself thin� and �Get confident, stupid�)

Tomlin would crush it as a college coach for sure, but I think the constant recruitment is what really prevents that direction since salaries are about equal at the top ends of each.

100% the NFL coaching schedule is way way nicer than the college coaching schedule. NFL coaches get a few months off each year, CFB coaches are on nearly 24/7/365 its insane. If you're the coach one of the best franchises in the NFL (tomlin for sure is) I really can't see a compelling reason to want to go coach college ball, mostly it just seems that whoever goes up and fails jus settle back down, but if you can stick in the NFL most coaches seem like they'd prefer to be there.

There's a casino outside of San Diego whose tag line is "easy to get to, hard to leave." Seems too on the nose to be tongue in cheek.

Ban all gambling advertising except for ads run by Native American casinos because I mean, they�re owed.

Moore was 4-0 last season.

Including a win on the road against a tough #9 Penn State defense and a home win against a #2 Ohio State.

Now, granted, a great deal of those players on said 2023 team are leaving for the draft, but Moore isn�t exactly a strength and conditioning coach from Coastal Carolina.

Michigan isn�t going to repeat in 2024 but they�re not going to go 3-9, either. I�m willing to give Sherrone Moore a chance. Players love the guy. He�s an excellent recruiter. He�s been taught a great deal by Harbaugh. If he doesn�t work out, so be it, but there aren�t exactly multiple HOF coaches Michigan can choose from in the coming weeks, unless the school President and AD can use dark Sith magicks to convince Bill Belichick to be the next great Michigan Man.

for whatever reason he only officially got credited with 1 win, the final 3 games were credited to Harbaugh. bothers me for some reason

DC Murderverse: Nov 10, 2016; "Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

The state of iowa is currently going through a crisis with underage athlete gambling and law enforcement because new information came out about the methods they used to figure out who was gambling and it annoys me because I think that it�s probably true that the punishment for the athletes was too high in most cases, some of the guys who are seniors basically had their careers end because of it. I also think that there�s a whole lot of people who have never once given a poo poo about law enforcement using suspect tactics that may have infringed on civil rights until it affected a guy who plays a sport for their college.

�Back the Blue� apparently doesn�t extend to guys you don�t like

I�m still holding out for a good Blake Corum jersey becoming available again and a solid rose bowl one. They didn�t have any of either in women�s sizes night of the game (makes sense in retrospect lol)

The fact that Cristobal has gone as far as he has despite being a complete loving moron when it comes to game day decisions just reinforces the point that the most important things head coaches do happen outside of games.

The Arizona podcast I listen to, one of the hosts used to pretty consistently make fun of him. Somewhat of a hot take when Oregon was winning 4-10 more games a year than Arizona at the time but whatever.
