    You are grossly misstating anything I may have written about Young. But that is the way it goes. I still think it's too early to write epitaphs. Who would you have bet with?
  2. CubinNY
    Totally agree. The dollars are probably all similar, but there are likely so many different offers to go over. Someone else mentioned, that teams may have multiple offers depending. Like a high AAV contract with multiple opt-outs and club options or less AAV longer years with escalator clauses for pitching milestones in addition to opt-out and club options. Its probably like going to a greek diner only instead of food its all money.

    I don't see any way they are getting around it.

    You will care, sorry. A national audience is not going to appointment watch a 9-3 LSU play an 8-4 Clemsnon. Or a rematch of USC vs ND that occurred three weeks prior.

    I don't know what point you are trying to make here. I already stated they will make a lot of money. The interest in the games on TV will be about the same as it is for a weekly NCAA slate of games. No one is going to be excited to see a bunch of 2nd tier teams play to see who gets the right to get beat by one of the top four or five teams. The injury thing doesn't go away, but the NIL stuff could take care of that. If some of these guys are going to get obscene money to stay in "school" for another year, that is a good thing. lol, I envision a future where UM plays the Chicago Bears in first-round relegation play to see who gets into the Champions league.

    please. A fouth seeded SEC Auburn playing a thrid seeded Big10 Iowa. Who cares?
  7. CubinNY
    lol.

    The first thing that comes to mind is a drunken Harry Carry singing his name. What a magical year 1984 was. It was the year I became a die-hard. I remember having JV football practice and getting updates on the Cubs playoff games that fall.

    Marginal upgrade at most. They are already massively popular. I suppose it's a good opportunity for students to sell their tickets to alums and people from other places. So at least that is good.

    lol, Marquee won't even let you look at the clips without a subscription.

    There are never 12 teams in the NCAA who are capable of winning it all. We love tournaments so, go crazy! But this is not going to generate nearly the excitement they think it is. It will generate the dollars though. Who wants to see the SEC champ or runner-up beat on Penn State or a third-place ACC school? Also, it's going to help ND get into the playoffs every year, so there is at least one other reason to hate it.
  12. CubinNY
    100m is only about $80
  13. CubinNY
    I'm betting the Cubs, Dodgers, and other teams are in on that too. I think he's going to sign a record-breaking contract that neither he nor the team intends to be long-term. It's too much money for too long for clubs to be comfortable with. It could be the winner is the team willing to give him the highest AAV.
  14. CubinNY
    I could see a future where both will start games in MLB this year. Brown may be filling the swingman role. I can also see a future where he is pitching for another organization. I think he's going to be high on the ask list.
  15. CubinNY
    Some team is going to give him a six year contract. It's the nature of FA.
  16. CubinNY
    I thnk it depends on how much of a premium a team places on his defense. But, yeah.
  17. CubinNY
    I love SF. I love Toronto. I love Chicago. LA is a different story, but it's great too. They are such different places with different feels, I'm so jealous. I wonder if it matters to players much. The city, I mean. I could see not wanting to play in NY, but I love the city. It's just not someplace where I would not want to be a professional athlete. I would think the micro-environment means more to the players, like the organization and relationship with the other players and stuff. -------------- The Athletic article said Ohtani's agent called the Angel's former GM to tell him in 2017 and before the GM could tell the rest of the front office they already knew. So, no he didn't tell the team first.

    In news, that's not news but is news news. I'd be a bit sour if they were asking me for all my young players for a rental.
  19. CubinNY
    No.
  20. CubinNY
    It’s ante in this game.
  21. CubinNY
    If Michigan can control the LOS on defense they will be Alabama.
  22. CubinNY
    Alabama v. Texas rematch for the NC.
  23. CubinNY
    lol. For not wanting to be the focus of this week, he’s going to be the focus of this week.
  24. CubinNY
    I’d be ok if neither team got in. The SEC is down this year. they should just do Michigan vs Washington for the championship. lol
  25. CubinNY
    If this goes like the last one, Ohtani and his people will put out the news first before they tell the club. so id check on sources attached to his agent
