Go through Memphis. The drive between Conway and Branson is 2.5 hours of hell.

Jordan was the best of all time and played when they could beat the shite out of you
Prime Jordan would shoot 26 free throws and average close to 50 with today's rules
Jordan's teams were built for that era. But today's rules aren't built to contain prime Jordan.

Your point could not be more irrelevant.

The SoLou burger is the best burger in baton rouge, IMO. And the fact that no one ever mentions it means it is severely underrated.

I'm not saying I disagree with you or agree with a claim of racism. I don't.
I'm just telling you that is the lens through which people are seeing racism. "The NFL is a plantation and you have to be a certain way to be invited in."

You guys aren't understanding why they are claiming racism. It's not as simple as just skin color.
Obviously the NFL is full of African Americans. But the claim of racism is that he's not the right kind of African-American. He's confident, arrogant, brash, in your face. And the NFL is rejecting that black man. That's the claim of racism.
For the record, I don't necessarily agree with that. But just claiming that it can't be racist because of skin color is missing the point.

I think he's going to be a very good NFL QB.
But, there is absolutely another issue involved here that no one is talking about. Deion has absolutely said out loud that he would leave Colorado to coach his kid in the NFL.
What a dumb freaking thing to say before the draft. What coach in his right mind would draft him knowing that statement is out there??

re: Highland Park High School wins state soccer title then has to forfeit.
Posted by Ex-Popcorn on 4/14/25 at 9:39 am
This was a weird scenario. This is the word in Dallas...
Kid was ineligible for grades. But ineligibility is a week to week thing from Friday to Friday. He fixed his grades and was ruled eligible the Friday of the state championship game. Game was played at noon. Highland Park thought he was eligible. BUT, per the technical rule, the eligibility did not kick back in until school let out at 3:15pm. So, he was ineligible by 3 hours.

Sorry, I am confused. Which is the sport that has the kids doing absolutely nothing for 94% of the game? But it's cool because they get to wear oven mitts to run around.

There are tons of QBs that were good in college
Cool. But he wasn't "good"... He was/is elite. You guys are fools. He is going to change a franchise in a very good way. People are going to look back at the shedeur/cam ward debate like they do the Peyton/Ryan leaf debate. Which side do you want to be on? Remember Ryan's crazy strong arm and Peyton's wet noodle arm?

It's just irrational deion hate. They can't separate that hate from shedeur. So now there's irrational shedeur hate.
I would attempt back flips if we drafted shedeur. He is a franchise QB. He's also going to come into the league and immediately be top 5 in deep balls. He's elite there... That seems to work with olave, shaheed, and cooks.

If sanders makes quicker reads, he wouldnt take as many sacks.
I've watched the last 20 of his games. Every play. Here is what most people don't know:
1) The colorado offensive line 2 years ago was one of the worst offensive lines I've ever seen.
2) The colorado offensive line last year was only slightly better but still significantly below average.
3) Colorado had one of the worst rushing attacks in football the last two years (2.3 yards per carry in 2023 and 2.5 yards per carry in 2024). They literally could not run the ball.
4) The offensive design was terrible both years. No motion. Nothing to confuse the defenses. It was "pin your ears back and rush" for the defense. Everything they did was because of above average receivers and an excellent QB.
5) He is extraordinarily accurate. One of the most accurate QBs I've seen in college. His deep ball is elite.
IMO, dude is a franchise QB who was in a bad system with a terrible OL and no running game and he still put up elite numbers. Put him in a real pro offense with real OL and rushing attack and he will thrive.
You guys are selling him short. He's going to be an excellent NFL QB.
