jesus christ notre dame is boring please talk about teams that matter (not illinois, i know)

what the hell did the players get out of this deal that made them so happy to give away so much money for people entering the league? i never really heard all that much about real threats of a legit salary cap or anything.

this. I missed this earlier. Believe me, I wish the name thing wasn't an issue. Bleacher Nation started just a few months after Bleacher Report - and long before anyone had ever heard of Bleacher Report, or before it had become the nightmarish pile of dreck that it has become. Had I ever known of "The Report" before I started my site, I would have chosen another name. As it was, it was a solid two years of "Bleacher Nation" before I even became aware of "The Report." By then, BN had become a thing, and I wasn't really interested in changing the thing because one of the words in the name was the same as one of the words in the name of another site. At that point, I put my faith in peoples' ability to read more than one word. 50% of the time a Bleacher Nation post is linked on a random message board, one of the first three responses is "never listen to anything you read on Bleacher Report," or some such thing. My faith in peoples' ability, it seems, is sometimes overstated. That's a pretty condescending view of your potential viewers. It's not a matter of reading more than one word, it's remembering which Bleacher "random noun" site is completely worthless. Considering how meaningless either site is to any one person in the grand scheme of things, it's not wise to put the onus on the reader to remember which one is which if you want to build and solidify your brand. agreed. it sucks that you have to do it, but you have to do it. as terrible as bleacher report it, it's definitely a bigger name than you, and wishing people who know nothing of you would differentiate doesn't make it so.

what did he say what did he say

mojo thinks it is more fun to watch people he doesn't like be sad than it is to watch his team win

do you not know how sports work? why are you enjoying this?

A LOUNEG DIVIDED CANNOT STAND

if we are smart we have three runs for 8 yards and a 55 yard punt in us

I was mostly quiet going into this week, but in a perverse way I was hoping for this so the feasting of tears could begin anew. why the hell would you ever root for that? are you a packers fan?

i can't believe some of you talked me into thinking for even one second that hanie might not be a disaster the season really is over.

Link Wow. That's absolutely hilarious! awwwwesome. i'm watching this game, but i somehow completely missed this.

i'd take the minnesota guy in the midst of a seizure over zook

i made that picture at your request several years ago and it has been sitting on my photobucket ever since.

yeah, that's exactly the part i liked so much what part did you like? this guy sounds like the worst human ever.

9.8

i would have a lot more faith in this guy if his name was really calib instead of caleb. caleb sucks.

Not sure if that is true or not, but it would indicate the agents insisted on some compromise. i'm probably just wrong. the 2.9 thing is starting next year, though the rest of the changes aren't going into effect until 2013 (i guess it wouldn't be fair if teams didn't know in advance that they had way more incentive to tank now). i don't see any other dates on anything, and there's no reason to assume it'd be 2013.

i thought none of this applied until 2013 i really hope that's the case, i want to see a weirdass 2012 draft where the cubs take the best player available in every round and pay out 10x's slot
