Worst Sports town is Dallas. Why? Because its full of Cowboy fans. No other reason needed.

I am ok with the pick. If all of you are correct about how bad we will be, then if it takes him a full year to get fully healthy it won't matter. If Bryce is as bad this upcoming year as he was last year, then we draft a qb and the new guy has a fully healthy Brooks in the backfield, and we can spend our draft picks on other positions.

I would say it depends on where they live and what they want to do when they retire. I think most of these folks saying you need a million are talking about living a relatively high end lifestyle. With a cruise or some other type of vacation every year and perhaps buying a new car every 4-6 years. If you don't need that, then SS, and a small 401k or pension is probably enough. My mom is living ok off of SS and a small pension she gets from my stepdad's employer. And that was after years of financial mismanagement, which saw them have a house with a mortgage and two other loans that used the house as collateral. Sold the house for enough to pay off all the debt with a little left over and they bought a small condo. Even with making payments on the condo, my mom still has enough to pay all the bills and save a little bit. One recommendation I do have for anyone reaching Medicare age. Look into signing up for a Medicare advantage plan. My mom signed up for it last year, and it is well worth it.

They can sell it in capsule form. Capsule or pill form of it was around back in the 80's. It was called t-tabs. Its illegal due to the odd vagaries of history. If the ancient Romans had used pot instead of beer/ale, pot would be legal and beer would be sold on the black market.

I rarely drink soda. I think I have had all of 5 in 2024. On the rare occasion I drink them, it's either Coke zero or Cheerwine.

I have the same feeling this year as I do prior to any season. A mix of hope and pessimism

I would say Brady Christensen is actually our best offensive pick, which is almost as sad.

Ask me after a few actual games. If someone had ask me how good we would be in 2015 after preseason, I would have said 8-8, maybe 9-7.

A coach last a whole season.

Some of the schools might have to cut back in other areas though to cover it. At a place like Alabama, probably not an issue. But for say Vanderbilt or Wake Forest, this could mean some programs get cut or reduced.

From what I have read, all of that is paid out of the money that they make from sports, or from donations. The power five schools make more than enough money to cover it. I remember reading that some taxpayer funding went into the Dean Dome, but for the most part, almost all the funding comes from income generated by the sports program and from fees included in tuition. At least at a power five conference school. Not sure how the others do it. A few schools even make a profit which goes back into the general fund, although that may go away now. For example, UNCCH made 139 million in revenue last year. That was more than enough to cover the expenses of the athletic program. But the one part I found annoying when I paid for my son to go to a UNC school (not Chapel Hell) was that his tuition included an athletic fee that he had to pay whether he chose to go to a game or not. I believe all the schools do this and for those that lose money, this is what puts them over the top.

The money will come from the funds that the schools earn from sports. For example, the ACC paid each of its schools an average of 45 million, which came from tv, bowls, ncaa tournament etc... The money to pay the athletes will come from that distribution as well as any money the school makes from ticket and memorabilia sales. Per the deal made, they are allowed to distribute 22% of that money to the players.

I don't know if Fields will work out (he probably wont), but these comments just seem to be coming from someone who is an ass. Authentic relationships? What should he do, go to each teammates house and weed their garden for them? Take their kids to school? He doesn't need authentic relationships. Just a professional, work relationship. And he needs to play well.

I am wondering if it will eventually get to the point that a guy like Bryce Young, if he fails in the NFL, can go back to college and pick up where he left off and make a lot of money.

On the surface, CMC seems a more apt comparison to brooks than Stewart was. Clay Matthews once said that Stewart was the toughest running back in the NFL to tackle. Brooks doesn't seem like that kind of player.

Wonder how long it will be before the four years of eligibility goes away? What is to stop a player from playing 6 or 8 years to get his doctorate in basket weaving?

Probably had a lot to do with our run for three yards, throw for two yards, and on third, run for three or get sacked, offense last year.

Simms list and 5 bucks will buy a modern cup of coffee.

While I don't think we should go after Dak, Dallas has been choking in the playoffs for 20 plus years. Can't really blame it on Dak. I think it's because they are decent to good enough to win the division or make it as a wildcard, but usually not as good as the media makes them out to be. They lost to better teams. Take last years game. Yeah, Dak sucked. But Dallas's supposedly stellar defense last year was abused by the Packers. Two of the first three td drives for the Packers were long drives where Green Bay ran and threw as they pleased. And then when Dallas was trying to get back in the game, that supposedly great defense gives up a 27 yard run and this gem. If there was a choke, it was a team effort.

If Bryce doesn't work out, we should be in position to draft someone. So no.

Ok. I agree, its highly unusual.

Not drafting one doesn't mean we are necessarily happy. Could just mean there was no one we really liked. Or that there were other players we liked more.

I certainly wouldn't be surprised if that happened. We might take a shot with say a fourth rounder if there is someone the staff likes.

If (and its a big if) they get two good years out of Cousins and 8-10 good years out of this guy, then I don't see it as a problem.

What is extremely rare? Taking a young quarterback when you have a starter? If that is what you are referring to, at one time it wasn't that rare.
