Attached is an article today from Bleacher Report discussing how a certain 5 NFL teams would benefit from not making the playoffs in order to move up the draft order.

This might be the absolute worst attempt of journalism in professional sports. Had to vent somewhere because they are continuously writing dumb articles like the one attached. You would think they would take a pragmatic approach and realize all fans want to do is watch their team win. Lastly, as a Vikings fan, I am shocked they would mention the Lions on here. The Lions already have the Rams pick in the draft (stole that info from one the comments in the article) and are a fairly dangerous team that nobody wants to play.

I should've learned my lesson that their info is crap back in 2018 when they were blasting the internet that Curry was on fire in a random NBA game, but his stats for the game were 6 for 17 from 3 point land. Or their "all time best of" lists that only include players from 2003 - present.

I might need to add The Athletic in addition to this site for professional sports news.

NIL, the transfer portal and now seemingly blatant tampering with impunity, have gotten beyond insane. I can't imagine how stable you can keep a roster anymore. Can anyone really blame these kids? How much longer until this just becomes semi-pro and CFB turns into some sort of G-League type of operation. Would anyone spend hundreds of dollars to watch the Lincoln Corn Stalks, Tuscaloosa Tuskers or Columbus Nut Poisons play some sort of meaningless semi-pro game?

Mad props to Drake Maye. I would have took the $, lol.

Good read. I'm guessing one of those teams was Texas A$M.

Has a gun for an arm. Isn’t he their backup?

I was really hoping he would come back for another year. Oh well...

Not a Steelers fan. Just wanted to show my respect.

I’m too cheap to pay, but for those interested

Big time pick up for the RB/WR room with speed. Super Senior—Blast from the past and has battled through some injuries. Played at Baylor with Coach Rhule from Cedar Hill High School in Dallas. Would love to open that Cedar Hill pipeline.

A few weeks into the Rhule era, I think their whole operation is impressive to watch. They hit the ground running, and they seem to know exactly who they want and how to recruit them. I also like their whole family-oriented and developmental approach, which seems more recruit-focused and authentic than some of the bs out there. This has been fun to watch.

When did the athletic department decide that they need to get a cross between a throne and french brothel furniture to take pictures with recruits? Where do you buy this stuff?

Purdue DT Branson Deen has entered the transfer portal. All-Big Ten honorable mention the past two seasons with 73 tackles, 15.5 TFLs and 7.5 sacks in 38 games (26 starts) over the past four seasons at Purdue. The fifth-year senior has one year of eligibility remaining and will have A LOT of suitors.

Rhule mentioned the importance of leadership alignment when he was hired...hopefully the next chancellor will be aligned with him.

Our friend's son will be signing his papers on Wednesday. Has offers from every school. I asked him why Nebraska doesnt show as an offer on his Rivals page. He said it was so strange. Said they [the previous staff] expected him to fall all over himself because Nebraska walked into the room. Said they were arrogant (he used the word cocky) and didn't seem sincere. Said they offered but said there was no way he would sign and play for the previous staff.

I asked him if he would have had any interest in Nebraska if things were different and he said hell yes. Said he did his own research on schools. He committed [PAC 12] in early 2022 and never looked back. After his commitment, he and his family shut it down.

I asked him who surprised him the most during the recruiting process. He didn't hesitate and said Nick Saban. Told him he would be required to work hard and there are no guarantees he would see the field. Saban showed attention to little details that made it difficult to say no to him.

Nebraska will see him in a couple of years if the BIG 10 scheduling works out for the new left coast schools.

One of the top high school football coaches in the state of Texas is expected to join Matt Rhule’s coaching staff at Nebraska. HuskerOnline has learned that Arlington (Texas) Martin head coach Bob Wager is in line to be the latest member of Rhule’s coaching staff.

Any news?

Telling idiot Iowa fans to quit tweeting at recruits. Tells them its not helping. Thats funny shit.

Talked with Chief Borders. Here's a bit more on Nebraska's newest outside linebacker/defensive end hybrid:


For those wondering, his real first name is Hassan. Chief was a nickname given at birth that stuck.
