Seems he always expected Alabama to win a


Nick Saban lost 71 games as a head coach in college. 52 of those losses came before Alabama.

Saban averaged less than 2 losses per season at Bama. If you remove his first season he averaged 1.5.

Seems like expecting them to win was a reasonable position.

I can agree that at times they would focus more on what Bama was doing wrong vs what the other team did right, but they were always pretty even handed in their praise when warranted.

It’s a foundational tenet of our judicial system.

It’s a tough one for sure. But you can also think of it less as trying to get a guilty person off and more of making sure the state meets their burden of proof. It’s a check on the government.
I think if the first wild card team has a better record that the lowest division winner, they should get to choose who they play in the wild card round.

Assuming we're not going to make any changes to the number of teams that get in, that is.

i like that the MLB still values divisions and regional play.


I don't disagree, but there is something wrong that it's arguably better to be the 3rd Wild Card rather than 1st.

A little?

Assuming the $40 million roster is accurate. LSU is in this year for ~$73 million.

That amendment has no chance of passing


Congress isn't serious about passing this bill at all. They wrote it in a way that wouldn't pass, and it has since had a bunch of add-ons that make it even less likely.

Congratulations, you just identified the culprit.

The athletes have power because schools want to win and are willing to break rules to do so.

Why do I remember it as Ole Miss mandating guys sign deals for 2026 in order to be allowed to keep playing in the playoffs?

No, she's not.

Has she lost her mind staying at that school and not transferring to LSU?


Isn't she a senior? The transfer portal has Joe Blow out here thinking that actually changing schools every year is a common and easy thing to do.

Transferring after 3 years can significantly delay timeline to graduation depending on program area.

She's also an adult. Her dad changing jobs shouldn't require her to alter her life.

Why didn’t they just go sign with a G6 team?


There are deadlines involved. They were enrolled at LSU in time to be added to the roster pending the outcome of the court case. Once LSU made it official that they would not be added, it was too late for them to just go somewhere else.

It's possible they may be able to find another school with part-of-term enrollment and roster space that will take them, but that's not a guarantee.

Seems to me that the NFL has done them a favor by specifically stating that they are not eligible to return to the NFL this season.

That doesn't address players with 10/5 or no trade clauses Existing contracts will stay in place and will either impact teams going forward with new contracts, or there will be easing, or there will be an NBA style soft cap


10/5 is part of the CBA. It could (unlikely) be removed.

Obviously details have to be fleshed out, but I just can’t agree with a situation that exempts current contracts from counting towards the cap. That creates a situation where teams close to or above the cap already can pay significantly more.

Maybe a percentage of of the contracts can count, or a base amount, for a period of time.

You could ease into a cap… current contracts don’t have to count against it


Everyone pisses and moans about the Dodgers buying championships. Not counting current contracts against the cap would only exacerbate that issue.

This isn't exactly some bold take or high level analysis.

Sure. But that’s not the intent and every one here knows it. And that’s what makes the apology bullshite.

I’m not personally offended by the shirt. I think it’s in poor taste and wouldn’t buy one. But for them to say, “Oh we didn’t realize. We don’t mean to offend,” is idiotic. Nothing worse than someone who does something with the intent to be edgy, for lack of a better word, and then to back down and offer some half-assed apology.

Whatever your position on the shirt may be as far as "should they/should they not" there's no arguing that it features a gay slur.

As with 87.34% of all statistics, his 1/4 cost is totally made up.

However, as has already been pointed out, the increased efficiency and decreased cost would almost certainly be a result of eliminating service areas that aren’t profitable.
