Dumb move by him. He’s not NFL ready and passed up easy money to be a legit Heisman contender next season with the canes.


He is going to be drafted in the first round. When you get that feedback from the NFL, 99% of the time you should go. Especially for him this year with a weak QB class.

Pretty sure that’s already the rule as of a couple years ago.
LSU has shortened “accelerated sessions” which is what Jayden did so he could participate in spring ball.

Daniels is slated to arrive in Baton Rouge on March 14th, while the rest of the students are on spring break. That will give him a chance to enroll in what LSU calls an “accelerated session.”

Classes for the second spring “accelerated session” will begin on March 21st and final exams are held on May 7th and 9th. To participate in spring ball, a student must be enrolled in classes.

Not considering the amount of money involved, but how is this situation any different than Demonds? Meaning…where is all the outrage?? Dude signed a contract, right?

I think so, but not 100% certain. I believe Season 1 took a little from several books, not just the one titled “Heated Rivalry.” The Kip/Scott episode for example was taken from one of the other books.

I think they said season 1 was more about their internal struggles while season 2 is more external. Makes sense given how season 1 ended.
What ole Miss does here really doesn’t matter. At the end of the day, we made a huge upgrade at head coach.

If this final 4 is any indication, it’s brought some parity to the sport at least.

Same. I didn’t believe it at first. I was totally convinced he was actually Russian lol

Why have any contracts at all, in any field, for any reason, if the parties cannot be held to them?


Parties can be held to them, but only when the provisions in said contract are not contrary to law. Take the rumored liquidated damages portion of this contract that is “solely in the discretion of Washington” as to the amount. No chance that survives if challenged. They can’t just make up a number. They have to back it up.

Contract law also says when a provision is ambiguous, it is generally interpreted most favorable to the party who didn’t draft the agreement.

What has there been besides the new F4 movie?


Multiverse of Madness probably plays a role here, as does Deadpool 3.
It’s actually a really interesting legal issue. The schools are adamant these players are not employees yet they want to hold them out as such. It’s also going to be difficult to prove what actual harm/damages the school suffered from a player backing out on a contract after only a week or two. Payments likely haven’t been made yet to the player so doubtful much if anything would be owed back in that respect.

The NCAA also doesn’t allow pay for play so even a revenue share agreement with the school directly can’t really call for a specific performance requirement of playing for them.

Well, unfortunately they’re the audience it was meant for. Sexual orientation as a central dynamic of a story is not interesting nor original. It’s lazy and repetitive. Highlighting it serves an agenda most don’t care for. Not to say there isn’t good acting or writing involved, but the fatigue is evident.


In the context of professional athletes, there hasn’t been a ton of shows/movies covering this subject matter. Add to the fact that the two main characters were drafted 1 & 2 and were considered the two biggest rivals in the sport, it’s a pretty unique story.

God, the X-Men suck. That franchise should have stayed dead and had a decent reboot. Instead, it's the same lousy version from 25 years ago.


The original and X2 were great movies. First Class and Days of Future Past were very good as well.

Yes. I’m not arguing with you about that. I only replied to you to clarify this wasn’t born from some gay Hollywood producer/writer.

This was based on a series of books written by a Canadian woman, developed for a Canadian streaming service, and later picked up by HBO. Similar to how many shows/movies are developed which could also be labeled as “fan fiction” or “fantasy.”

I suppose you can call anything that hasn’t happened (at least publicly) “fan fiction.”
I’ve been waiting for this since Disney purchased Fox. So pumped.
