Will the college student be deemed ineligible because of this? Or is that only for student athletes?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(This was sarcasm. There's no need for an actual well thought out answer.)

Student athletes already get a completely free education so that was a fail.

Lol. Not all student athletes get a completely free education guy. 

Besides that, the point is, if they take a free cheeseburger from someone because they play football for _________ University, it's a problem.

Very cool. It's not a ton of money, but he's not obligated to do anything. Awesome to see these guys give back.

Because he picked out some guy on Twitter who asked him to pay for his books? Come on man...

Yes. He could've simply sent the dude a PM and got his info and nobody would've ever known. But why do that when you can do it publicly on social media and get hero praise?

Doing it privately without anyone ever knowing would've been a gesture. Doing it publicly is called a publicity stunt.

While the Red Cross certainly isn't without its share of issues, I don't think you can say everything they do is a publicity stunt just because it takes place in the public eye. Same with wounded soldier initiatives, etc. Now maybe the intent is more pure if he'd done it privately, but still barely diminishes the act, at least in my mind.

    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
    • there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.   
    • In 6 games, we've only had 6 hurries??? ... that can't be accurate
