Let me just say fuck Josh Jacobs. Sign Kareem Hunt.

Fuck McDumbass and Ziegler too.

 

[DJ Fieri]

There is just a glut of good enough rbs. I mean as of right now Leonard Fournette and Kareem Hunt are available.

Fournette would work also. Platoon him and Zamir White.

I hope Jacobs gets traded. Would hate to see him waste his prime getting run into the ground 30 times a game playing for garbage.

Fuck it.

Willing to take a 4-13 or 5-12 season if it means McDumbass gets canned. And give Ziegler 1 more year to get shit right.

Likewise. Won't be fair to him

 

[tlance]

Yep solid point. Sure if you only compared top 2 rbs per team salary to kickers then avg salary would be higher

Still needs to be a lot higher for the top players. Not fair to run these guys into the ground until it comes time to pay them.

Hill blew out his ACL playing pick up basketball and now has to relinquish his belt.

Stupid.

But, Khazmat vs Costa?

Borrichino getting fucking SMASHED.

Thoughts on UFC buying Bellator?

Somebody get me Michael Venom Page vs Izzy or Mcgreggor at a catch weight….lol

I saw something on Twitter regarding some high profile MMA fighters from Bellator showing up on UFC's roster. I never checked its validity.

I'm not going to knock Hill too much. There's a higher likelihood of injuring yourself in camp versus a pick up game in basketball. I get the point of relinquishing your title (although Juri set the precedent) when you're going to be out for about 18 months.

I think Khamzat would beat Costa; his wrestling's elite. Cannonier though I think is next up.

Izzy would piece up Page. McGregor would also get pieced up given he hasn't won at a high-level in a long time.

Dunno

Rumor has it Costa vs Khazmat is the reason Paulo pulled out of 291.

Paulo Costa insinuates he pulled out of UFC 291 to accept future fight with Khamzat Chimaev | BJPenn.com

Paulo Costa has once again teased the idea of a showdown with Khamzat Chimaev after pulling out of UFC 291.

Nah. Doesn’t mean they regretted the deal.

It means they probably never intended to let the player live out the full life of the deal when he signed it.

It is why Saquon and others push for that guaranteed money.

 

[thunderc]

Pretty stupid that a deal wasn’t reached for this amount of money. Now Barkley can only play under the tag this season. As I have been saying,,he can never make this money back if he sits out.

Good for him. That’s only a 2 year deal.

like it said less than 2 mil apart. They both should have given a mil and gotten it done. Never make that back, ever. Zero percent chance.

According to the Giants best writer who essentially let the Giants front office write the article.

If he holds out and sits, he is a year older but he’s a FA and he won’t have 350 extra touches and 350 extra hits on his body.

You don’t want to pay a RB? Don’t draft him in the top 5. This is what the Giants wanted when they made the selection. The man has done his job. Pay him.

It's tough with running backs. For most, 4 of their most productive years are their first 4-6 years in the league when they are mostly on their rookie deals. They all tend to decline after 4-5 years because of the beating they take.

In a league where you're paid based on what you will do going forward, you're not going to give big money to a guy whose best years are already behind him.

Disagree with some of this. Primarily, athletes are usually paid based on past performance not estimated future performance. Agree on the bugaboo presented at RB though.

You realize if he sits they can tag him again next year right?

I thought the players association got that changed after the LeVeon Bell situation with Pittsburgh?
