More crushing was Samantha Ponder being fired.

Popped out a bunch of kids and didn’t hit the wall, superior genetics going on for that one.

Kind of sounded high maintenance in her interactions so they might’ve gotten tired of her if she was doing the diva thing on set.

The Wall catches up with ALL women eventually and while it's morally not right, most of the time when a female on air personality gets some mileage on her, the networks will chunk her for some young little cupcake in her twenties.

I think it usually has to do with them cutting high dollar contracts for cheaper up and comers.

She was easily the most prepared and knowledgeable female on the ESPN football staff for either CFB or NFL. Laura Rutledge is pretty solid but doesn't talk scheme and Holly Rowe sometimes seems disinterested, could be related to her horrible health issues over the last few years.

They fired her because she spoke her mind, especially on men competing in women’s sports.

The red strap is a bit much even for a goddamn wrestling title belt

I agree, that belt is not appealing.

she was one of those old fashioned women, with the 2 X chromosomes and a vagina. No place for those in or near sports

For fricks sake, we need football. I guarantee the country needs something else to argue about

The only problem with being smarter, hotter, and having more personality than everyone you beat out to get the awsome job where you just talk about football is the fact that eventually someone YOUNGER, hotter and having a great personality will take your job. She probably did get canned for not going along with the Anti-Christ when it comes to women's sports but it was going to happen soon anyway. Nothing beats youth.

Mainly what I saw was Penix getting rid of the ball quickly. Parker stuck to his man but he was getting pushed back. Wonder how he will do as a run blocker?

Please note, Murphy (from the other video) was a Junior, Sweat (in this video) was a Senior, and Parker was a Redshirt Freshman & first-year starter.

For sure. He has to be. What I’m thinking is the offensive success is less on the oline and more on quick processing by Jalen. If he gets rid of it quick, he will make them look good.

Average release times
Penix 2.7 seconds
Milroe 3.45 seconds (I believe that was the worst)

Crazy how those numbers seem close but are actually a pretty wide gap.
