re: Barret Robbins, passed away at 52
Posted by Ghost of Colby on 3/27/26 at 7:57 pm to TigerintheNO
He had missed a couple of games earlier in his career due to mental health episodes, but the details around the Super Bowl disappearance are next level.
He experienced a severe delusional manic episode, and he was found across the border in Tijuana wildly celebrating a Super Bowl victory (for a game to be played the following day).
Bill Callahan initially thought he had fallen off the wagon and gone to Tijuana on a bender. Al Davis was adamant that Robbin’s would play in the game, and even went so far as to have Robbins run sprints in the hotel parking lot to sweat out the toxins.
Callahan’s plan was to bench him for the first series as punishment, but follow AD’s wishes and let him play the rest of the game. However, Callahan realized something was seriously wrong when he met with Barrett Robbins face to face, and tried to fly him back to Oakland on the morning of the Super Bowl to seek professional help.
That didn’t happen because Robbins had lost all his IDs in Mexico.

At least Michigan allowed him to keep his athletic swag so he could be arrested still wearing UM clothes.

It’s been years since I’ve been to Newark, but there were large swathes of the city virtually abandoned and falling down.
Sometimes the only way to revitalize an area is for it to completely collapse. It has to get so bad that the people causing the collapse don’t even want to live there.

For those that don’t want to give him clicks, here are some highlights
quote:
Wade’s first (and possibly last) Wolfpack team went 20–14, lost eight of its final 10 games, barely earned an NCAA men’s tournament bid and crashed out in the First Four. In terms of a reckoning for the ACC, I reckon Louisville enjoyed scoring 118 on Wade and beating him by 41 points; I reckon both Duke and Virginia enjoyed beating him by 29; and I reckon Stanford enjoyed beating him in Raleigh.
quote:
Now, it seems, a heartwarming reunion could be at hand. Picture Wade and Louisiana Gov. Hee-Haw, Jeff Landry, running toward each other with outstretched arms in a meadow.
quote:
When LSU is 169th nationally in the U.S. News & World Report rankings, its sports might as well shoot for No. 1 in the attention.

Bringing back Wade is something, all by itself. Pairing him with Kiffin and flamboyant fashionista and verbal arsonist Kim Mulkey, the women’s basketball coach, would create a menagerie of antiheroes. Does that lineup make you cringe?

Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Williams’ office did not publicize the resolution of the case
Local news generates almost all of their crime related news through press releases from law enforcement and district attorneys.
There was a decent chance Jason Williams could slip this plea bargain past the public if his office didn’t publicize it. I’m sure that was his goal.
Props to the local news for catching it and reporting on it.

re: The Oakland/Los Angeles/Las Vegas Raiders, and their drafting of QBs
Posted by Ghost of Colby on 3/23/26 at 6:21 pm to ragincajun03
The Dallas Cowboys have only drafted 2 QBs in the first round.*
1965 - Craig Morton
1989 - Troy Aikman
* They also drafted Steve Walsh in first round in the 1989 Supplemental Draft.

If Simpson can end up on a team with a veteran QB, like the Rams, he could easily end up the best in this class.
Then just stay in school and get actual game reps.
There’s so little actual practice time in the modern NFL that the days of backups actually practicing is a bygone era. Teams value college starts and passes thrown now more than ever.
