re: Any big names cut around the NFL?

Kyle Allen beat out Shane Buechele for QB2 there I’m pretty sure.
Interesting development here. Sitake will no longer report to the BYU AD, he’ll report directly to the University VP while the AD handles all the other sports.

Sitake now reports directly to Vorkink, who is also Santiago’s supervisor.

“Given today’s dynamic athletics landscape,” Vorkink said, “we feel it’s important to be providing more administrative support, not less. We’ve made recent hires with that in mind, and we’re also organizing in ways that we believe will support BYU’s world-class programs.”

The sudden disruption comes a month after Sitake, without naming names or making specific requests, called publicly for additional investment in the school’s flagship sport to help it get over the hump and into college football’s playoff.

quote:

Thursday’s overhaul reflects the complexities of college sports expansion at breakneck speed and finances spiraling dizzyingly upward. Court decisions and other forces also disrupt the landscape.

One source with direct knowledge of BYU’s decision said university leaders came to believe they had to be open to a potentially substantive reorganization to adapt to all the change.

Many schools are replicating the structural hierarchy of the NFL in their football programs or the NBA in their basketball programs, hiring general managers to oversee autonomous player personnel and scouting operations.
He sounds like Heath Ledger’s Joker giving a speech in Dark Knight.

ESPN is set to remove its BottomLine ticker during college football games this season in a move to free up more on-screen real estate, per a report by Ryan Glasspiegel in Front Office Sports.

The move will bring all of ESPN’s college football broadcasts in line with its major events, like the College Football Playoff or NBA postseason games, which already do not feature the on-screen ticker. This season, all college football games on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, SEC Network, ACC Network, ESPNU, and ESPNEWS will go without the BottomLine.

“We’re always looking for ways to better serve sports fans. By removing the BottomLine during live action, we’re creating a cleaner presentation that keeps the focus where it belongs—on the field,” an ESPN spokesperson told Front Office Sports.

ESPN will still give score alerts throughout game broadcasts at “specific times during each quarter,” the report reads. Programming updates, like if kickoff of a game will be moved to a different network because another game is running long, will be given in a graphic at the top-right corner of the screen.

A similar rule is being discussed in the ACC, a source tells @On3.

Expectation is that the SEC will talk over a similar rule at today's meetings in Birmingham. Big Ten has meeting later today.

Sun Belt about to feast on all these ex-NFL players.
A little humor for your Sunday morning. Get it? Little? Cause they’re babies.

I’ll be here all week.

You’d think with LA’s giant population of people wanting to be on TV they could find an announcing team that wasn’t small-town high school caliber.
Yeah, I'm as surprised as you are that Jim is still around. And yes, he's absolutely an undeniable a-hole.

However!

This is a pretty entertaining rant on the situation.



On the press release starting with "The Daniels Family is deeply disappointed...":

quote:

"What does the Daniels family have to do with anything at all? Why is the Daniels family speaking for Jayden? Jayden's family shouldn't be issuing any statements on behalf of Jayden unless Jayden has died. Is Jayden dead? That's when your family issues statements about you. Otherwise you issue your own statements."

On comparing JD to Burrow and Cannon:

quote:

"...Those are the other two Heisman winners in LSU history and neither of their numbers have been issued since. However, there is a key distinction here. Both Burrow and Cannon also won the natty. Neither Joe Burrow nor Billy Cannon ended their LSU careers in the Reliaquest Bowl. And Jayden Daniels didn't even play in the Reliaquest Bowl, he sat it out."

quote:

"Jayden...very very good player. But he's not Joe Burrow. And nobody down in the bayou seems confused about that either. As far as I can tell, everyone around Baton Rouge is saying the same thing: 'We like you dude, but you're not Joe Burrow.' And you know why they're saying that? Because he's NOT Joe Burrow. But he certainly IS butt hurt."

On wanting LSU to return the Heisman:

quote:

"Why not just show up on campus with a blowtorch and just burn the entire place to the ground? I can't believe the amount of energy that he's wasting on all of this. Instead of being fully immersed in a make-or-break NFL season, you have infected your own brain with all of this nonsense. None of this make sense."
:lol:

“Early reactions are useless because they’re always universally positive.”

“WHY DO YOU WANT THIS MOVIE TO FAIL GO CRY SOMEWHERE ELSE”

shite’s crazy.
Not every Supergirl review was an influencer, there were Rotten Tomatoes verified critics in that camp too.
quote:

Some of you are so desperate for this film to be bad. It’s so weird.

Did I say that? It’s Nolan, it will at worst be competently made. But this was literally two weeks ago:



“Early reactions” have never meant dick. I have no idea how people keep falling for them.
quote:

Rave reviews coming in. I can’t frickin wait.

“The only critic of the bunch, so far, is IndieWire’s David Ehrlich, and he seems mixed-to-positive on it, calling it “too clunky to be S-tier Nolan,” but he does like the final act.”

The rest were the typical paid shills and fanboys that these early reactions bring in.
In response to the Muslims calling him a “fricking pussy”…

The community note on this is also fantastic.

quote:

O'Neill served with SEAL Teams Two, Four, and Six, and was part of the mission that took out Osama Bin Laden.
He received two Silver Stars, four Bronze Star Medals, a Joint Service Commendation Medal, and more.

He is, in fact, not a pussy.

:lol: :USA:
He's probably more B-list at this point but I've never walked out of a movie saying, "Man, Ice Cube put on an acting clinic in that one."
146 million YouTube viewers can't be wrong. :usa:

quote:

And while social media users and critics are dunking on the movie’s use of a cover of the Jimmy Eat World song “The Middle,” the big needle drop in the final set piece at the February screening was a cover version of Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Want to Have Fun.” That song choice came from Gunn, but it ultimately was abandoned for the Jimmy Eat World cover, also a Gunn choice.

What is it with this guy and his fricking needle drops? Just let the score do its job.
