  1. Here I remind everyone they changed the rules for NIT invites to make it more titled towards mediocre power conference programs instead of mid-major schools who might actually be excited to be there.
  2. Successful immediately, or just had a successful career?
  3. I expect the Steelers will either pick up the option or do a deal similar to the one Green Bay did with Jordan Love where they sign him to a new deal for this year and next that's for less than the option would pay him, but locks him into guaranteed cash. Wilson is only under contract for one year (and Wilson and Fields together are only making about $6 million this year, so Pittsburgh has a ton of room in a QB budget to sign Fields to a reasonable contract.) I just can't see any reason they would make this deal at all unless they plan on him being around and hopefully the starter in 2025.
  4. I'm not sure the Steelers are the right team for it, but giving Fields a chance to sit and learn a system and try to rebuild his game a bit might but be a terrible Idea. Plus he's theoretically a high upside backup if Russ struggles or gets injured. Plus they probably don't want to give Fields enough snaps to turn into a 4th unless they have to.
  5. Man, I forgot just how bad the shooting in that title game was. UConn only shot 34.5% from the floor and that was still 14.7% better than Butler. Though Butler's 27.3% from three was sizzling compared to the Huskies 9.1%. I think I had legit blocked that game from my memory in remembering Walker rampaging through the entire tournament.
  6. Oh, and they are the first team to pull off the five wins in five nights to capture the conference title since UConn in 2011. You remember, the year Kemba Walker turned into Superman for 11 straight conference and NCAA tourney wins.
  7. Five nights ago, NC State was 12-14, tenth in the ACC, and at one point trailing then 8-22 Louisville by ten points. They are going dancing and just busted somebody's bubble.
  8. I think she's done some TV stuff the last five or so years.
  9. He's wildly inconsistent, but he has shown flashes of being dominant. It also didn't help that the Bears staff seemed bound and determined to ask him to do things he was known to be bad at, while limiting his opportunities to do the things he does well. I thought they would get more for him than that until the free agency wheel spun so decisively. Washington is clearly drafting a QB, Atlanta hopped off with Cousins, New England and Minnesota both look fairly like to death a QB and they both signed a veteran bridge QB. Even Pittsburgh had already signed Wilson. It was hard to find a team that seemed to really need him (plus I can't imagine they would've wanted to trade him to Minnesota even if they were interested.)
  10. Mixed reaction for me. It was absolutely the right move to fire him, between the off court issues and the absolute cratering of the team this year, and hell even his own health. But it sucks seeing a childhood hero flop so bad when I had such high expectations a few years ago.
  11. Kyler Murray had the correct response to Donald retiring: https://twitter.com/K1/status/1768674809943368157?t=wiaNnR24do3ieHcZh2Ewkw&s=19
  12. The one championship they can win.
  13. Drafting QBs is always a total crapshoot, but I really feel like McCarthy to Minnesota feels like the best fit for him/best rookie for them. His skill set is basically exactly the things you want in the Shanahan offense than O'Connell runs. Willing to throw it over the middle, fast and capable runner than can punish the defense if they crash the edge against the running game, strong enough arm to make pretty much any throw, ego free if you ask him to do nothing but hand off and throw check downs all day. And there's not much better of a situation for a rookie to step into than "Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and TJ Hockensen."
  14. Only about a year and a half after they turned down two firsts and a second for him.
  15. AD with your average everyday 27 point, 25 rebound, 5 assist, 7 steal, 3 block night.
