re: Nico Iamaleava Update: Cowherd says it's UCLA. Confirmed by The Athletic
Posted by TearsofKnowshon on 4/16/25 at 11:55 am
Citing Miami paying Beck $4m to transfer as fricking up the QB transfer market doesn't make sense in Nico’s context. Miami didn't really pay Beck to transfer from UGA. He was already gone immediately after the season. They paid him to forego an NFL contract for one more season.
3rd/4th round picks (where Beck was projected post elbow injury) make between $4.5-6m per a quick google search. Seems like Miami gave him close to the floor of that to entice him to come back and try to improve his draft stock. As a sophomore Nico doesn’t have a potential NFL contract as negotiating leverage. He also hasn’t delivered close to Beck’s career production (even if his ceiling is higher and Beck has a rough season last year).

re: Cam Newton: NIL is to make your college experience comfortable. This is not forever money.

I assume Cam's point about money is that through his personal experience he believes many of these young players aren't making sound financial decisions with the money they're receiving in their early 20s and that it's much smarter to set yourself up for a good situation that prepares you for NFL contracts as opposed to seeking the highest dollar value no matter what when you're 20. Seems reasonable to me.

Not exactly surprising after his round today. Had to be an absolute emotional roller-coaster.

Well damn, Rory. Certainly could've used that on the 72nd.

Both tee shots were absolutely piped.

That putt is just far away enough for him to miss in excruciating fashion.

Man, Arkansas really struggles to catch pop ups in foul territory in shallow RF.

Just a fantastic final four. All games have been awesome.

I'd be curious if Baldwin could play LF or RF depending on the park.

Absolutely ridiculous foul call.

The Braves knew what was likely going on when they signed him.
He was getting actively tested last year during his career year and never tested positive. He said in his statement he was tested eight times and never got flagged. How are teams supposed to assume any uptick in production must be drugs in today's world?

Super salty as a Braves fan but it's complete bullshite that contracts aren't voidable for a PED suspension. Profar has been mid his whole career and then has a career season in his contract year where all supporting variables (exit velocity, line drive %, etc.) support his ability to sustain improvement going forward. Now we learn it was likely all PEDs and the Braves are stuck with a guaranteed (minus 80 games) contract for a guy the whole fan base probably hates now at a rate he absolutely does not deserve.

I’m a bit nervous of a massive regression by Lopez. Hope he proves me wrong.

Stats on Devin Obee’s home run earlier are ridiculous.

Absolute BOMB from Devin Obee. UGA up 2-0 bottom 2.
