NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

I watched last night. Had no idea Dennis Rodman's daughter plays for Team USA.

Yes she is good, they are counting on her to have a big tournament

So a union within a union?

I get that they wanna get paid but JFC....the franchise tag is not exactly chopped liver....

SMH.

The money on the franchise tag isnt the problem. It is one year deal in a collision sport where your career can end on any play

I've heard some interesting ideas to help running backs.

One was to have QB's on a different salary cap or just not count their salary against the cap. That would free up money for other players.

Another was to allow RB's to become FA's after 3 years.

Well all they have to do is count heads in the call to figure out a big part of their problem. The way NFL offenses have changed has made it where more guys are capable of playing the position well enough.

Hope she does have a big tournament.

And that's a big part of the issue too, imo. Teams don't need "star" RB's anymore. A team can win a Super Bowl with an RB they got in the 5th or 6th round.

I understand that.....

Yup plus the QB is running more and that reduces the value of the position even more. I get they are upset but it’s supply and demand.

Or a guy like Josh Jacobs who is going to get further beat up with 325-350 touches of punishment playing for dog shit. RBs only have so many touches in their career.

Really don't get the point of starting a game only to stop it 30 minute into the game due to rain? Do they not pay attention to the weather? This fucks up both teams bullpen and this happened multiple times since the 2nd half of the season started

Cancel all your plans

No. It was Buddy being sarcastic while also hiding the real reason why he and the Eagles parted ways. He had developed a dangerous drug problem. The Eagles saved his life with that trade sending him to Bumblefuck and away from an area where he had developed his addiction.

Cannot say I'd ever heard that story (not doubting it's mostly true).

Pretty boring British Open. Harman had a good lead for pretty much 2-3 rounds. Easy victory unless he tanks fast

Exactly.....I mean, the SB champs did fine with a late round rookie doing most of the work there at RB and this seems to happen often. While there are some exceptions, other skill guys don't do much as late round rookies. Often ever.

Poor baby.

He signs the tag and he gets 10 mill this upcoming season. I am fine with the Raiders rescinding the franchise tag and signing Hunt for a 1 year deal. And then going after Marcus Peters to bolster the secondary.

Jacobs would love that as well. Right now he’s being held hostage by a bad organization with a Mickey Mouse coaching staff and that’s why he won’t sign the tag.
