Trey McBride signed a four-year extension worth $76 million ($43 million guaranteed) with the Cardinals, making him the highest paid TE by a nice margin. This was the first offseason he was eligible for an extension so obviously the Cards wanted to get him locked up ASAP.
-
Apparently its "only" a two-year, $75 million extension with the other 10.5 being incentives. Don't think they've announced the incentives so not sure if its "go to voluntary workouts" or "win MVP" to get the money (or a combination of both).

Upcoming Video Game Releases (2025 & Beyond)

The price will be the same I reckon, at least for the foreseeable future. The reason I think the price wasn't in the Direct but announced immediately afterwards is they were waiting until all the information they could get was confirmed (as much as it can be) before announcing it as late as possible/after the Direct video was made. Now if the tariffs stick long term then we'll see what happens but a price increase would be new ground and impact the other console makers down the road as well. I think generally speaking companies will try not to jack up prices, especially a new product like the Switch 2. -

That could be true, but I read Sony only owns ~15% of Kadokawa who owns ~70% of FromSoft so I'm not sure if they have the control to force the issue. Especially if Nintendo cut them a nice check, the console makers in general seem to not hate each other as much as they used to. Although the more I read about the game the less excited I get. I don't usually do multiplayer with FromSoft games so if the solo experience isn't fun/fleshed out I'll probably skip it. -

The camera is definitely dumb and definitely not something I am buying, my main disappointment is I just thought the launch games would be better. Word was they pushed back the release just to have more units made and ready, which is great, but along with that I was hoping for a stronger line-up. A new Mario Kart is cool but I don't think its a console-seller by itself since they just got done updating the last Mario Kart with new tracks last year. The Donkey Kong game does look cool but DK hasn't ever been on Mario and Zelda's level and wouldn't be a Day 1 purchase for me. And that's pretty much it for new games, some small stuff or dumb stuff or remasters but those are the AAA titles. Was really hoping for a new Mario game along the lines of Galaxy and Odyssey or a "Metroid Prime 4 is done, surprise!". I'm going to buy one anyway as that's just who I am as a person but I completely understand anyone in the 'wait until more comes out' camp. -

Its not all and probably not most games, just Mario Kart World shows that price that I've seen. Donkey Kong for example is $70. Which is still expensive but not the $80/$90 social media is spreading as the norm, people saw just the price for MKW and ran with it. -

Oh I immediately smashed that pre-order button, but it'll be interesting if stories come out later that lots of people tried to get one that way and didn't get one. To me, if they really have as many made as they claimed everyone that 'qualifies' for that pre-order should probably get one. -

This seems like a big deal. Nintendo must have paid them a lot of money to release on a new console exclusively and forfeit (at least on a timed release?) the huge player and fanbase of the PS5/Xbox. Obviously it will hurt the sales numbers so I imagine they were well compensated for that which isn't usually Nintendo's MO. -

If you have a Nintendo Switch Online account and at least 50 hours of playtime, you can register to get on a list to get a Switch 2 directly from Nintendo: https://www.nintendo.com/us/gaming-systems/switch-2/how-to-buy/ Stuff like that makes me question if they really have enough that it won't sell out like they claimed was their goal. -
Not to beat a dead horse that we already beat on a weekly basis in the catch-all thread but its criminal that TK has such a great women's division and for their big events don't feature more of them. They have at least six to eight women I'd consider "pretty damn great" that currently aren't on the card, so I hope they book a second match for sure.

I had to laugh at the touchback change as they keep doing things to get teams to kick less touchbacks and it just isn't working. So I'm curious if this change is enough to finally get teams to stop kicking touchbacks or if they'd still rather have the opponent start on the 35 than risk a long return.
-
Rules stuff is rolling in now. So far two changes of note have passed: - The football now moves to the 35 after a touchback since the NFL is still annoyed at the number of touchbacks - In the regular season both teams will get possession of the ball in OT, but OT is still ten minutes so they didn't change that part.
-
I think the way the rule is phrased right now a player can't be pulled or carried, only pushed. Course we've seen running backs get pulled and no flag was thrown, its not the most enforced rule but technically no you can't carry people like that as funny as it would look.
-
The problem with that is, they aren't discussing getting rid of helping assist the dude with the ball, the way the committee has phrased the banning of the tush push is strictly for that. They aren't talking about banning offensive linemen pushing the RBs downfield like we saw quite a bit of last year. There are no rules you can't push the ball carrier which is all the tush push does. So that's why Eagles fans are mad, because of the fake reason of the risk of injury (since there hasn't really been any or any proof it causes more injuries than a typical QB Sneak), and the rule is being crafted in such a way to literally only ban the tush push, not assisting ball carriers in general by pushing them. Personally I don't care either way, teams will adjust and find something else productive to do. But they should just be upfront about the reason - one team got really really good at something that isn't against the rules that any team could also do if they wanted to, and the other teams don't like it.
