  1. I guess we'll see if a real roster crunch happens, but I don't see them just cutting Davis outright. Maybe you could shop him to a desperate team willing to give up like a conditional 2026 7th based on 2025 snaps (and pick up slightly more than his minimum salary for 2024)
  2. Perfect ly acceptable from an emergency longsnapper
  3. I think so too. On his second PAT snap I noticed it was just a little imperfect and said at time you don't want to be relying on a long FG in a critical moment. Just a little thing a former (very mid) varsity HS long snapper notices lol
  4. Showing up and doing someone else's job unremarkably and winning industry awards for it. Love it. Long snapping officially the most underappreciated job in sports.
  5. Eh Garret is probably good enough to keep around for v 2.0 after they figure out what to do with Watson Edit - and while I'm generally a fan of what Browns have done to manage their cap it isn't the most blow up friendly. They're kind of committed to seeing out most contracts, but especially if they think they are gonna move on from Watson (assuming they can't void his guarantees for some kind of cause).
  6. Doubt Garret is at all. I guess I could see Crosby made available, but I doubt for a price that makes sense.
  7. They should certainly put in a call, but not offer anything serious. Apparently there is a trade condition from the original deal that the Jets conditional pick to Eagles increases if they trade him to an NFC team. So I'd think he goes AFC if they can find even a decent offer. https://www.phillyvoice.com/report-previously-unknown-details-eagles-jets-haason-reddick-trade-emerge/
  8. What we have here is a traditional Chicago Bears style QB controversy.
  9. Sounds like he's not benched benched yet, but looks to be headed that way.
  10. This is really getting pedantic in terms of defining things, but I think reclamation project is pretty fair whereas bust isn't.

  12. Really the perfect bye week. Kids last game for soccer was last week and it's a great week to get some late fall yard work in before it gets cold. Thanks NFL.
  13. Didn't the Gary idea come with the cheesiest 90s development name ever. Like SportsWorldPlex or something lame?
  14. Nah that was a separate idea (if I'm remembering) McDome was the nickname of the proposal to put it on/near McCormick site. But wherever that proposal was has since been developed I think.
  15. Everything would have just been better if they had built the McDome in the mid 90s. It probably would have been a ****** stadium, but the site would be good and they could have put the eventual rebuild on the same site. But McCaskeys wanted bear weather or whatever.
  16. The sight lines and intimate experience are definitely a plus for once you're inside the stadium. If they weren't having to accommodate the collanades they probably could have done a better job with concourse, exits, and such. But you can't add 20k seats and keep what's good about it currently. It's still a really terrible site until they come up with a solution to make the Metra tracks as the main public transit source into the stadium area including connecting the other nearby transit options in a low hassle way. Roosevelt stop just isn't very close or convenient at the end of the day (if it was a straight shot maybe, but it can't be). Obviously by car the site will never be good, which would be fine if the public transit wasn't pretty meh too. And yea, most stadiums suffer from congestion, but SF has always seemed particularly weak in that department, even for less dense events.
  17. He 100% has no idea what he's doing, right?
  18. Yep. Both of my sisters cheered competetively so I sat through my share of cheer competetions. I'm surprised it's not higher, honestly. It's basically gymnastic floor routine on steroids. Plus there's like 20 of them out there flying around.
  19. Yea, headers are banned in most leagues at the youngest ages.
  20. I'm not even sure there's scientific consensus from doctors on this, but there's at least some thought that the bigger danger of football is all the small collisions and not the major ones. So the "soccer/basketball is just as dangerous" thing may not even be accurate, even though those sports will have their large share of collisions and head injuries.
  21. While it's still going relatively strong and will continue to be around, it certainly has not gone unscathed. Lots of programs have folded or gone to 8 man. Lots of freshman or JV programs have been eliminated. Most varsity programs are running at lower numbers than 20-30 years ago.
  22. Misunderstanding chest bump/hug!
  23. Okay apparently every Wikipedia entry looks like this. Extremely Y2K energy, wiki.
  24. Whatever it is it's hilarious. I'm assuming the teams official sponsor is PS1
  25. Yea I got that part, but why is the official entry on Wikipedia designed on a 240p pixel resolution.
