Jayden Daniels is suing LSU, saying that giving out the number 5 jersey is using his NIL and seeking to keep it from being given out. What a tool.

It's not hard to take his logic to the conclusion of anyone who ever wore a number is having their NIL rights infringed if it's given to another player. It has no chance of holding up.

There is a Denver Bronco that made a few appearances at my bar chess club over the years.  I'd be stunned if he isn't the best chess player in the NFL, with a online Rapid rating north of 2000.  Anywho, last year in the summer, he tore his Achilles and was out for the season.  This summer, exactly a year to the day, he tore his other Achilles.  Pretty insane.

Am I the only one that can't stand Jayden Daniels? Seems like a likable guy but he's one of my most hated in the NFL and I can't really pinpoint why. Even watching Quarterback on Netflix made me dislike him more haha.

I'm 100% always going to root for the college player against whatever institution they're fightin against. For over 100 years schools have completely exploited these kids and I am totally in favor of them getting whatever they want from them back.

It would be really cool if he somehow won, and it forced schools to use non integers on jerseys.  Maybe even imaginary numbers.  I don't care who it is or what school/team, the first player to sport 8i is the first jersey I'll ever purchase in my life.

Generally, I agree.  In this particular instance, it does seem kinda petty though.  "How dare the team I don't play for anymore give my number to someone new?!"  Meh.

I believe the latest injury happened at a joint practice with the 49ers.  The SUBSTATION claims another!

I get that part, but it’s a number.  I’m sure lawyers will be fine billing their time but this is just silly.

Dart got completely destroyed on a blitz. Probably another concussion.

Fortunately for him, his MAGA ass probably doesn't have much brain function to lose.

Harrison Butker hit a 69 yard FG last night that would have been good from 75

[BigSlick]

Is there any way we can make the Browns a perennial opponent for the Bears? Anything we can do at all??

"And we're the Cleveland Browns."

RIP to the QB the Browns draft with their top 5 pick in next year's draft.

Watch them draft Arch Manning on day 2. He’ll fit right in with Brady Quinn, Colt McCoy, Brandon Weeden, Manziel, Kizer, Sanders and whoever else I’m missing in their graveyard of hyped college quarterback prospects they love drafting.

Day 2?  Has Arch's stock fallen that far?

If his name was Arch Smith, I think he'd be ranked firmly behind Dante Moore and CJ Carr while fighting it out with guys like Mestemaker and Mensah for the next few slots, which would likely put him at the back end of the 1st/top of the 2nd, meaning he would be firmly in consideration at the start of Day 2, when the Browns would be picking.

I think he has an NFL future, but he's not at the same level as Peyton and Eli were when they entered their respective senior seasons.
