I am really enjoying the ride this season.  I picked the team to earn the second Wild Card but considering all the major pitching injuries this is a definite surprise for me.  Ten games the next eleven days (seven with NYY, winning the first, sandwiched around three @TB).  A 7-3 record through that stretch could all but put the division away.  I still think there are several teams in the NL that are superior to the AL teams but I am starting to get excited about the pennant chances.

It's been fun cheering for a team that doesn't seem to know the word "quit".

 

Wow has it, especially after two years of teams that seemed to only know that word.

 

That last two nights have been more fun that the 20-4.  Wow.  Watching the Rays now, down 4-3, chance to extend farther.

 

Next eight we see two @NYY, three @TB, and three v. NYY.  Could all but put this thing away with a nice little 6-2 here.

      Kind of where I'm at on this also. I think he has the potential to be an all pro caliber guard if he can come back 100%. He's more mauler than quick. Hunt is making 20m per, Moton is making 22m. Moton is a better RT than Icky is a LT so I think the pay comp would probably be about the same there. I don't see Icky as a 28m per season LT. He'll be low 20s and as an elite guard, i think he'd be within a couple mill of that.

      I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.

      I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.
