  1. https://sports.yahoo.com/north-carolina-tennis-player-files-suit-challenging-ncaas-rule-that-prevents-players-from-winning-prize-money-132734451.html Makes sense. Now if a golfer or tennis player can accept prize money how about some guys playing MiLB while also playing for a college?
  2. Is the logical end major colleges just hiring athletes to represent them? End all eligibility restrictions and just have a NFL minor league with universities as owners of the franchise?
  3. Only no pressure if he doesn't care about playing in Chicago.
  4. Do you actually type all that out? Damn, all that formatting.
  5. Oklahoma and Seton Hall make the tournament any other year.
  6. Plus if he jumped at the first team offering a 4th fans would have thought they could have gotten a 2nd. So he held out hoping the market would improve. Worst case he's your backup.
  7. Would you trade him within your division?
  8. I tend to think you are correct, but if we believe this report, there was some "competition" for him.
  9. https://www.si.com/nfl/2024/03/17/justin-fields-rejected-four-trade-destinations-bears-deal-steelers?utm_medium=push_notifications&utm_source=pushly&utm_campaign=4392705 So apparently the Bears were trying to "do right" and find a spot that Fields wanted to go. If it was the difference between a 3rd and 6th round pick, I'm fine with that.
  10. I'm happy that Fields has a chance to step back, work on his game, and possibly resurrect a solid career. As noted above he needs to improve his reads and ability in the pocket. I believe he has the raw skills to make it happen. Entering the off-season I would have traded Fields for any of the top three QBs in the draft. I see this (I know it's not accurate but makes me feel better) as they traded Fields for Williams and a 6th to 4th round pick.
  11. Not quite Dickie Noles or Harry Chiti but funny nevertheless.
  12. And this took less than thirty seconds. Assuming the Bears land Caleb Williams with the first overall pick, here's how they can develop him for success: Focus on Protection and Play Calling: Solid Offensive Line: Invest in protecting Williams. A shaky line will crush his confidence and hinder his development. Tailored Playbook: New Offensive Coordinator Shane Waldron's system should utilize Williams' strengths. Design plays with quick throws and rollouts to avoid pressure. Run Game Support: Establishing a strong running game takes pressure off Williams and opens up play-action passing opportunities. Learning and Growth: Veteran Mentor: Consider a veteran QB as a backup to mentor Williams. Someone like Andy Dalton could provide valuable guidance. Gradual Integration: Don't throw Williams into the fire immediately. Start him slowly, letting him learn the NFL game before becoming the full-time starter. Focus on Mechanics: Refine Williams' throwing mechanics to improve accuracy and arm strength. Building a Winning Team: Upgraded Weapons: Surround Williams with talented receivers and tight ends who can create separation and make plays after the catch. Coaching Stability: A consistent coaching staff allows Williams to build trust and develop within a defined system. Strong Defense: A stout defense takes pressure off the offense and allows Williams to manage games without needing to force throws. Patience is Key: Developing a young quarterback takes time. The Bears should prioritize Williams' long-term growth over immediate wins.
  13. There are still a lot of question marks and inconsistency in Fields play. I think the Bears are trying to create as positive of a situation as they can for their #1 pick. A weekly controversy over who should be starting isn't how they want this to unfold. If they had a veteran who figured out how to stay in the league, help guide him along, it would be different. But trying to develop two QBs when you've never managed one, is just too big of an ask.
  14. All in on Williams. I really hope he has a long and successful career. This would be a horrible heartbreak if a hopefully once in a lifetime first pick is a bust. Is there a billy goat type curse on Bears QBs?
  15. https://www.bfvlaw.com/ncaa-trademarks-think-twice-before-advertising-march-madness/ 6:00 PM Eastern Time - Men's brackets March 19 - first games Questions What will Caitlin Clark's path be? Houston, Connecticut, and Purdue look like locks for #1 seeds, who is the fourth?
  16. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/39739138/michigan-fires-coach-juwan-howard-8-24-season Toss in a couple embarrassing situations and the worst season in 60 years and you have someone looking for work.
  17. And if you consent to some rough sex you consent to everything including being choked until you pass out then continuing to have sex while unconscious? Let me help you with that. 1:10 in will get to the important part. I actually give a s%*# about infidelity and would never cheat on my spouse. But you be you.
  18. I'm in the inc. One, it's so preliminary and dependent on factors that the Sox can't control. Example, if Cease blows out an arm next month it's an easy A win. I do think the team received as much as they were going to getz. Everyone in the league knew the Sox wanted to move him. Hot take it's a B and they were never going to get an A level return.
  19. Expand the playoffs to sixteen teams with only those teams getting a share of the playoff revenue and a greater share of the national TV deal. Relegation by revenue.
  20. Everyone has announcer examples, I'm trying to think of a player? I can't.
  21. Seems like players are treated differently. Can you think of a player treated like Benetti?
  22. You didn't think players are different than announcers or secretaries?
