in the latest accusations of weird-poo-belichick-has-done, one of his former players on the Browns is saying he paid the guy to start fights with players when practice was going slow.

Belichick's Browns were coming off a 1994 season in which they allowed an NFL-low 204 points on defense, but when his 1995 squad lacked that same punch in practice, Belichick turned to the quirky, hyper-aggressive Eaton to set a fire.

"If practice was going slow, he'd look at me and just say, 'It's time,' " Eaton told the newspaper. "He wanted me to get on somebody's (case) and start a little fight. I was known for that and it paid off on Fridays. There'd always be some extra money in my locker. Practice players don't make much, so I really appreciated it."

      Did someone say "hybrid" player?

      There are a couple of options. One is just to not accept your commission and just pay back the Academy for your education. Alot of money for normal folk, but if you're drafted high enough it's a drop in the bucket. You'll need a waiver not to go in enlisted, but normally drafted players get waivers to join the reserves instead of active duty military. Showing that you can actually go to the NFL from a military academy is much better for recruitment than having one more officer on a ship/sub/aircraft. Things were different in the Staubach and David Robinson days. I remember Mike Wahle just paying back the Academy after getting kicked out for steroids after his junior year. Not a big deal when you're drafted in the 2nd round.

      Whoever you get has to be able to shoot a 3 for spacing purposes, especially if you want to replace Miles at 4 with Moose and run a different center.    I like the Miles for Giannis trade idea but where do you put him? At center?    Can you imagine a double screen and roll/slip with with Lamelo, Giannis and Kon... 👀   If you do that trade you need another free agent / draft pick to play at 4 that can stretch the floor otherwise I don't think it works.
