Don't really know #### about prospects but everywhere I read pre-draft that year, the belief was that the Rangers would take Wahlstrom if he was there. Never fault teams for going against the grain but you gotta own it when it blows up in your face like this.

With the Rangers situation the extra year is well worth it to knock down the AAV.

I bet the OP can tell me why I should be.

Please tell me why this should bother me first.

Maybe they should have been willing to accept less than the 1st round pick and a player they were looking for in a deal not even a year ago.

"So what, no ####in ziti now?" Came out blazing in episode 1. I've probably posted that 12 times in this thread over the years.

I've watched the series through probably 6 times. I actually started another rewatch a couple weeks ago in anticipation of the movie and am on S3 E3 (Livia just died and Christopher got his button). I couldn't get through 20 minutes. I thought the acting was comically bad. Distractingly bad. It truly felt like I was watching one of those extended SNL preproduced movie parody skits.

Not dismissing it of course but wasn't she the one making the gambling allegations?

Really? You mean the floor for Kyle Pitts isn't Travis Kelce?!?! (Repeated constantly pre-draft to preseason)

That blitz on 3rd and 17 (big play on the screen) was really something.

Add in a potentially undefeated Cincinnati with their OOC schedule (although Indiana looking bad would hurt that). They won't get in - because $$$ - but they'll be another they'd have to be argued over.

Nice to see that close knit group work so well together here.

Great RFA system we have here.

Speaking of Wisconsin, transfer QB Jack Coan was named the starter for Notre Dame.

Yeah seems right with it buying out two years of FA.

Was cream cheese involved?

Not a fan of the Mets bringing in Baez. I know some of the guys on the team love him already, so that helps a bit, but it seems like the player he is now is very different than a couple years back.

If a contending team calls me to offer one of their bullpen arms, I'm hanging up right away.

I like that we snuck a general baseball thread onto this board. Having to go to that forum is terrible.

Big 12 is claiming to have hard evidence that ESPN has been actively working to break up the conference by getting another school to drop as well. Which of course is true but it will be interesting if they can really prove it.

And why do you think teams aren't willing to make a real offer?

What's with the Sabres withholding Eichel's medical records? How can any offer be serious, in either direction, without that?

Some of the takes in this thread are really Insein.

AAU research money is no joke. We're talking tens of *billions* annually flowing to those schools. It's not all going to the B1G but a real nice portion is.

It also has the benefit of making the player more attractive in a trade down the road with a team that isn't competing because the high AAV helps with reaching the cap floor but the actual amount of cash you're laying out is much less.
