re: McShay on Cam Ward taking himself out at halftime…agree or disagree?

Imagine a player doing that on Ralph’s team

He’d kick him in the nuts then put his cig out on his fricking forehead.

College Football is a joke in 2024/2025, it’s a free for all where nothing really matters. Supposed amateur athletes have more power than players in professional leagues. It’s all about the money, which is the way it’s always been in conferences like the SEC, now it’s out in the open. I love watching Coaches like Nick Saban pretending like it never happened. ESPN money and gambling being legal in most of the country has destroyed College Football. Some love it, but I’m solidly in the camp of people that don’t really care about College Football anymore.

I still watch the games because I like sports but I don't take it seriously. Years ago I'd get bummed out of my team lost, now I just flip to the next game and grab another beer. My passion is near gone. Eventually, maybe, I'll find other things to do with my time.

If his departure was planned ahead of time I think it makes sense so next year's guys get reps.

Nabors did it last year

Why does this have so many upvotes

Nabors didn’t pull himself out, coaches yanked him after breaking the record. Very very early too, not at half

…you should really watch a Bears game

Absolutely shameful compared to someone like this. Sr year, playing an absolute nobody and a guaranteed future top 10 pick. Literally put it all on the line and he wasn't even getting paid

Different era with different norms

If you’ve ever listened to a Cam Ward interview you can tell he has a room temp IQ. He will bust badly.

Those in favor of NIL and player empowerment support this.

It's really difficult for me to have sympathy for the "muh his future" crowd in this era of NIL. Since 2022, Cam Ward has received over $1 million in NIL money, much of it in cash. Give me that kind of money over two years and a regular paying job until I retire and I'll be set for life. He hasn't played a single minute of professional football and the kid is already a millionaire. So please spare me with the "muh injury" bullshite. That argument could fly five years ago but it won't fly today.
