I think everyone appreciates your posts..
not fiz :( lol

on this particular topic, it's nothing personal, it's the media and being unaccountable..
oh i know.

truthfully, the media has always had accountability issues. twitter didn't make it any worse. crap is going to get written regardless of how long it takes to get to press.

the same arguments that are being made against twitter now are the ones that were made when news started getting put on the internet just like it was when cnn started the whole 24 hours news thing.

anyway...if the news is legit, then good. if it's not, we'll find out about it pretty quickly.

in those not so rare moments that it is crap, i'm not sure about anyone else, but i get a kick out of these media guys being wrong. i like seeing the overreactions made by them from time to time. i love it when they take a rumor and spin it a million times only to find out that it's all a pile of steaming feces.

i've done a pretty good job of finding legit sources over the years that i follow because of fantasy football (that i don't play anymore). some guys are pretty good at throwing sh*t on the wall to see what sticks, but some of them actually have good sources themselves and are usually pretty reliable as long as they aren't asked to give opinions (like schefter and breer). no one has proved to be right all the time. the more they talk/tweet, the quicker it's going to be to show how full of crap they can be.

the only guy that i really pay attention to is andrew brandt and thats mainly because of his years of experience being involved in the league, esp. as a GM for the packers. beyond that, they are all just guys looking for "unnamed sources with inside information". 50% chance of it being garbage. doesn't make it any less fun...which is the whole reason for football anyway. our entertainment.

until we can get to a point where we actually have football to talk about, this game of "stalk the nfl/nflpa negotiators" is pretty fun to watch. it's a lot less annoying than that casey whatever her name is trial that just got over, anyway.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      By TD alt · Posted

      I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.
