I'd be willing to bet that Arthur Blank is praising the Lord right now that they drafted Bijan. Because of how badly they screwed up their QB room, he is their only saving grace on offense right now.

They only have a minority stake in United now and Daniel Ratcliffe calls the shots there. Not to mention, Ruben Amorim had been trying to get fired for weeks. That didn't have anything to do with the decision to keep Bowles.

Other way around. Glazers own 71%, Ratcliffe 29%. Joel and Avram Glazer remain co-chairs of United.

Go back and look at Mickey's draft history the last 20 years. The pick will most likely be DL, DB or OL. The few outliers are Olave (who we also picked an OT with), Stephone Anthony (who we also picked an OT with), Brandin Cooks, Ingram (who we also picked a DL with), Reggie Bush and Meachem.

Since 2003, we have only picked away from those 3 positions 6 times, and 3 of those times, we had 2 picks and picked a DL or OL.

Maybe Moore changes their thinking, but I would expect an OL (Fano), DL (Bain, Bailey or Woods), or a DB (Downs or Delane).

Most of those years, we are in the late teens or 20s and those are the players with value at that time.

We are 8 now; rules and available players are different in the top 10.

The Jets were actively tanking. No telling how good Glenn is or not in that scenario.

4. Titans - Reese
5. Giants - Tate
6. Browns - Tyson
7. Commanders - Bailey

8. Saints - Jeremiayh Love, RB Notre Dame

The Glazers fired the manager at Manchester United yesterday morning. When they did that I knew Todd Bowles was safe; they are not going to go through a hiring process for United and the Bucs at the same time.

Those were both good calls. Extended arm with contact to the helmet on the first. Feet tangled before the ball arrived on the second.

That second one mimicked a call against Minnesota in the NFCCG overtime that got the Saints to the SB.

Given this article:

ESPN.com

Maybe a loss wouldn't be too bad.

It says there are 11 prospects with a true round 1 grade.

Lose and you are guaranteed one of them.

Winning is fun, beating the Falcons is awesome, but just this one time a loss to the Birds is digestible.

..because people watch them.

Awful Announcing

Ratings up 13% on average.

Pop Tarts had 8.7 Million
Pinstripe had 7.6 Million
Gator had 6 Million.

People are watching, and the numbers are significantly higher than any replacement programming.

These games aren't going anywhere.

Too many people learn football strategy from Madden. It's a lot easier to manipulate the clock on Madden than in real life. In real life, you do what you gotta do to get a win, even if it risks the clock stopping. I have no complains with their clock management today.

re: Message Board Geniuses names Tiger Droppings best message board of 2025

I don’t keep track of MBG or any other board rating system but for Tigerdroppings to be ninth in any rating system is ridiculous. Chicken provides the main message board community for the entire SEC and beyond.

My guess is they just count the number of times they tweet out a posting on a message board and then count them all up at the end of the year. Remember, MBG tweets out posts that are extra special stupid. Normal stupidity doesn't qualify; only the cream of the asinine crop ends up on MBG.

So, given that TD is #1, interpret that as you see fit.

Do we really know what Moore's drafting philosophy is? He drafted a tackle last year, but that tackle happened to be the best available guy at a position of need. I wouldn't read too much into that.

What a weird statement by PGAT

It's actually not if you remember what PGAT golfers have said in the past about LIV golfers.

Basically, if they want back in, they have to go back to Q School, then Korn Ferry, and play their way back onto the PGAT. Plus give up all the money they got in LIV. That's what players have said.

Now I doubt the reality will be that harsh, especially if more guys try to come back, but it's not just going to be "Welcome Back, here's your card."

I think they run their investigation and go with the interim guy for next year.
