Real Madrid starts their season against Betis on Sunday!  Hoping for a League title, and a run to the UCL Finals, but I'm worried the lingering Gareth Bale deal will end up hurting the team just like the Modric deal did last year.  More realistic expectations might be a close second place finish in League, and a Semi Finals run in the UCL.

This will be the most exciting start of the year for the past five. So many variables at play in the BPL, with it up for grabs from any of the top five or six teams. Right now, Man City and Chelsea are the favorites, but that could change at any given moment.

 

 

Arsen, I believe ours is the first Darby of the year too. That's gonna be a fun game to watch!

Last year I watched the EPL for the first time since I was a kid, when they showed condensed games on PBS. Enjoyed it, but still don't have a dog in the fight. I was looking for a Panthers equivalent, but there doesn't seem to be any teams that share our lack of history.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

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

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
