    Shedeur apparently requested to be paid in AI and the teams didn't know what to make of it

    Teams apparently not rushing to be the focus of rumors about hiring Deion as their HC

    At least Mike Tomlin/the Steelers would be pretty much immune to that. They don't fire coaches and I cannot imagine them ever even considering Deion if they did have an opening.

    The Browns picked Dillion Gabriel over him.  I'm going to need someone to explain this to me.

    I got nothing. 

    Like, I legit don't think Sanders is a first round talent. But not going in the first three, with Gabriel and Milroe both taken? I'm shocked.

    I trust Brad Holmes but I do not understand trading up to draft Isaac Teslaa - a wide receiver who had......... 28 catches last year. Without being injured. He's big (6'4") and apparently super athletic but... 28 catches. 

    Yeah I'm with you. I mostly bite my tongue after hating the draft a couple years ago that turned into a bunch of home run picks, but this is an odd one.

  4. In a huge upset, Kordell Stewart remains the highest drafted Colorado QB ever. 

    We are into the range where I figure we are hitting Sanders's actual non-positional adjusted draft grade, so I'm shocked he's still on the board. 

    (I had entertained some fun thoughts of Cleveland using one of their two picks at the top of round 2 on Will Johnson just in some complex effort to troll their Buckeye partisan fanbase. Surprised he fell all the way to Arizona though.)

    Yeah I heard about the knee a couple days ago. I still didn't think he'd slip all the way out of the first though. I was expecting him to go somewhere in the 20s.

  6. I know Sanders is the bigger name and position and family, but Will Johnson falling from consensus top ten, possible top five pick as recently as Michigan's game against USC to not going in the first round is the real stunner.

  7. So the big House Settlement is on hold. A couple weeks ago, the judge strongly advised both sides to add a grandfather clause to the new roster limits to protect current student athletes. Both sides, particularly the NCAA, were not interested in doing so. So when they presented the new version, she told them they have 14 days to add such a clause of she will not approve the settlement. And then all hell would break loose with all three lawsuits becoming active again/the revenue sharing plan and NIL clearinghouse program possibly being halted, etc etc.

    Tomlin is good, but I don't think even he can keep that level of crazy in check.

    I mean, we basically didn't know Antonio Brown was nuts until the very end of his Steelers run.

    I guess Kawhi was wearing his pink suit last night. 

    39 pts on 19 shots is madness.

    He was fucking 9 of 10 in the first half, and almost none of them were open shots. That he was "only" 6 of 9 in the second was a cool down. He was also an absolute killer on defense. Watching just that game, you would clearly guess he was the three time MVP on the court without a second thought.

    Jamal Murray seemed like he thought about hitting the Rock Bottom on Norman Powell there for a second. It's the playoffs!!!!

    And somehow he ended up being the one that shot a free throw. This game is great.

  11. Cade, Tobi, Malik, and Timmy Jr are a combined 3 of 24 from three and Detroit it still up four with 8 seconds left. Dennis is at least 3-5.  If they had hit another three of those they'd be celebrating right now.

    Trae Young continues to make me think he's not really A Guy in the NBA and is better off as someone's sidekick. Would Young be a better fit next to Jokic than Murray? At least he's on the court more in the regular season.

    And Davion Mitchell is ending Atlanta's season. Awesome.

    I honestly think the worst thing that has happened to this era of the Hawks was making that run to the ECF in 21.

    They started thinking they were a guy away, mortgaged their future, didn't get near a title, and couldn't even pivot to a soft tank this year because they gave away their pick.

    Welcome to the off-season, Chicago. Enjoy being the dictionary definition of mediocre for the foreseeable future.

    I feel bad for the Bulls: they finally decided to tear it down, traded DeRozan over the summer and Lavine at the deadline, and somehow Colby White suddenly starts looking like a borderline star the moment Lavine is gone and they end up right where they always are and now they have to decide if they should keep him and sign him to an extension and maybe get stuck right back here, or trade him now and risk him blossoming elsewhere into a full blown star.

    I wanted them to start tanking weeks ago, but Phoenix was so shitty they beat us to the bottom.

    It's remarkable. Phoenix has no reason to tank, desperately needed to at least sneak in to the play-in and hopefully the playoffs. Dallas was DOA the moment AD got hurt, and buried the moment Kyrie did, and had plenty reason to tank at that point. Yet somehow Phoenix was just that damn bad. I can't explain it.

    But I feel like if I was a Dallas fan, I would just want this nightmare season to end. Probably would've been disappointed they made the play-in, more disappointed they won the first game, and low-key be kinda cheering for Memphis.
