Except for the part where the "free" market refuses to hire capable workers because of an arbitrary rule about how many years they have to be out of high school. Really there's no reason the schools should be involved in an NFL farm league, and I think the end game will be that more and more...

The very few cases of institutions which profit from college sports, only profit because of fans and boosters. If the institution had to fund it themselves there would be no college football programs. Even given contributions from fans and boosters, something like 80% of institutions do no...

It isn't a symbiotic relationship, it's a parasitic one.

There was a time when some people thought that free agency would destroy pro sports. Our presence here suggests that it didn't. The only way a cap could be imposed is the same way caps are imposed in the NFL: through ratification of negotiated agreements with a recognized player's union. We're...

It's hard to see how this all gets resolved, but my hope, as a long-time college sports fan, is that the sports machines like Alabama and USC reorganize into sports clubs of the sort they have in Europe, only nominally connected to the university, and football and basketball programs at actual...

That's for sure.

You know what you should definitely do, is post the same thing every third post in this thread forever.

BAL@TEN (W): 17/24/179/0/1 (70.83%), 16/136/1 BALvs.HOU (W): 16/22/152/2/0 (72.73%), 11/100/2

+521 yards rushing and 3 TDs.

To break down those six games, he had: Two outstanding games with > 70% completions and over 100 yards rushing, in wins. One game (TEN) where he was the entire offense, totaling over 500 yards in a loss. One game (KC) where he disappointed but had to overcome a number of errors including...

It's below his baseline, sure. This year he had a game with 121.8 passer rating plus 100 yards rushing and four TDs. That's kind of not terrible.

I'm happy about it just because it annoys the kind of people that it annoys.

The game at KC looks a whole lot better if Flowers doesn't fumble at the goal line, right? The last INT was a terrible throw but the game is entirely different if they get the TD on the earlier drive. Anyway, we're talking about 6 games, and yes, he didn't play well in some of them. It's not...

2017: On the road against a 12-4 Chargers team (at age 21). Expected loss, lost. 2018: Home game against Tennessee. Bad game. Should have won, lost. 2019: Road game against Tennessee. Great game. Expected loss, won. Road game against 13-3 Buffalo. Bad game. Expected loss, lost. 2023: Home...

Luck had two seasons in the top 10 in passer rating (#7 in 2014 and #9 in 2016). All of his rate stats suck. The only reason he ran up yardage was volume (over 600 attempts, top 5 three times).

Andy Reid getting too cute dates back as far as Andy Reid.

OK, season.

Here's an interesting stat: No team that missed the playoffs has ever won the Super Bowl that season.

2 of the last 3 Super Bowls have been won by pocket passers with no off schedule ability. 9 of the last 11.

The Lions are in better position to win a tile, this season, than 29 other franchises. If they lose to the best team in the NFC it won't be because they need a different QB.
