It's because winning is the only thing that matters.

I believe it's a contraction of "Giant Brain."

I haven't watched every second of their encounter. Did the cops ever frisk him? If not, he could have had a gun. The cop who shot him says he saw a gun shaped object and a flash.

No.

No.

There's definitely a…

There's definitely a disconnect between college production and NFL ability. Think of tiny MG Henry Hill (5' 11", 220) who was great in college but never had a prayer of playing in the NFL or Mike Hart who just doesn't have the speed for the pros. That said, as flawed a metric as NFL draft position is, it's hard to think of a replacement.

St. Juste wasn't a mistake by Michigan, the doctors wouldn't let him play.

I've suggested XM, Don and Mr. Miggle would all be good choices. I hope it's 3 of them.

This looks pretty reasonable except for Rumler as the backup center. I don't think he will get enough snaps there in practice to be ready.

I thought you were saying it's 96 (tears).

I wouldn't expect that to scare off Nebraska.

Everything you read in the paper, hear on the radio or see on TV is absolutely true, except for those things you have personal knowledge of.

How does a top 100 recruit only have offers from Maryland and UCF?

I responded to this…

I responded to this statement:

"Not sure Id blame Hoke for some sort of evaluation flaw, though.   That's just poor player development."

I don't in any way excuse the OL player development under Hoke. Darrell Funk was a complete disaster. But I don't think the correct assessment of these 6 is bad development. I'm offering an explanation of what went wrong with these specific individuals, not excuses.

Not really. Bosch had…

Not really. Bosch had substance issues. Fox never recovered from a HS injury. LTT had legal problems. No one expected a lot from Samuelson. That leaves Kugler and Dawson. Kugler may have met his actual (as opposed to expected) ceiling. Dawson seems to be one of those guys who just doesn't have the drive to succeed.

I'm really surprised that no one has picked The Best Years of Our Lives. For Memorial Day its a good choice.

We Were Soldiers.

We Were Soldiers.

I think they have an error…

The error is theirs. Put just "newman" in and you get both Sr. and Jr. Put in "harry" and "newman" you get nothing. I guess the Sr. and Jr. are screwing it up.

Are you unfamiliar with the Bentley data base?

I should have given you this one:

It may be as simple as he couldn't get into Stanford (or was waiting on acceptance). Think of the guys who have committed to us, then flipped when they were admitted to Stanford. Devery Hamilton and Steve Herron come to mind.

It might not be the same as offered, but Bentley says Woody Brown (75-77) and Deyanco Hardwick (2015) were on the roster.

I don't have any expertise…

I don't have any expertise on this. I just look at where all the big money scandals are in the NCAA: FB and MBB, and guess that's where the money will flow under this new system. There are people with money who are willing to spend it to have athletes in those sports go to their school.

I may turn out to be way off…

I may turn out to be way off, but my expectation is that the biggest impact of NCAA NIL reform (after the Madden type stuff) will be for star FB and BB players. A booster who owns a car company will pay the QB to appear in an ad. It will come to be an expectation at that school. Delivery companies will pay RBs, security companies will pay DBs, movers, the OL.

I think you're right that the top female stars can expect to make more than the average FB player, but the average NFL player will probably have more opportunities for endorsements than the average WNBA player.

The topic is athletes' NIL…

The topic is athletes' NIL value. So start listing the female athletes who are earning more than male athletes.

There are a lot of fit girls…

There are a lot of fit girls out there who aren't athletes.But, you sound like a sharp guy who's up to speed on modern culture, tell me about all the professional female athletes who are raking in the big bucks making commercials.

The high ranking of so many…

The high ranking of so many gymnasts is . . . counter-intuitive.

How quickly do you think…

How quickly do you think those hours would add up for an attorney going it alone?

Also, if it isn't on contingency, I think the lawyer is going to want periodic payments and for you to cover the costs.

Memory is fickle. There was…

Memory is fickle. There was a ton of angst around here about how he was slipping away to ND.

Finding out why universally…

Finding out why universally loved Jon Falk didn't step in to save RichRod from himself.  I think the answer is because Falk, like me, didn't think the #1 jersey was reserved for WRs. Obviously, Harbaugh doesn't either.

Dang, Seth. What book(s) can you recommend on Yost?

How will Risk history remember my contribution? As the MVP of the battle for ___, the deciding conflict of the war.

A grayish box should appear around the selected target. That remains through the day. There is also a brief note that your move was successfully made.

A second (or more) alternate account.

Yes. Unless I'm wrong.

Yes. Unless I'm wrong.

Yeah, the models are really reliable.
That's why a single model will change it's prediction of death's by 30% in a single day.

Shouldn't a review of how Sweden is doing include consideration of how they're doing in establishing "herd immunity?"

The concept of replicants is the only thing they have in common. I'm grateful to whoever wrote the film script.

Something to keep in mind…

Something to keep in mind for next season.

1. I gave a specific example…

1. I gave a specific example of a death that was incorrectly attributed to covid. Hopefully, that will lead you to question whether there might be others, rather than blindly accepting what the government tells you. If cases are being listed as covid deaths when the death is due to something else that means there is an over-counting. How's that for science?

2. The federal bureaucrat who is responsible for the innaccurate counting tells you that they are doing everything correctly. I'm shocked. If you had written that he has more incentive to mislead than I do you would have been correct. Here's a pro tip: if you make an appeal to authority, you should reference someone with credibility. Your citation to Snopes makes it likely that it's untrue. As frequently happens with Snopes they include information that shows they are wrong. They include the guidelines that tell officials to make sure everything that can possibly be counted as a covid death is counted that way: "In cases where a definite diagnosis of COVID–19 cannot be made . . . it is acceptable to report COVID–19 on a death certificate as ‘probable’ or ‘presumed.’"

3. Scooter Tooter has pointed out your error here.

4. I'm not sure why you included this non sequitur.

The experts told us 2.2 million Americans were going to die from this. When are you going to stop blindly accepting everything they say?

"dark horse contender?" I…

"dark horse contender?" I think Wisconsin looks a little better than that right now, unless OSU stabs them in the back.

Rashan Gary, Chase Winovich,…

Rashan Gary, Chase Winovich, Kwity Paye, Aidan Hutchinson and Braiden McGregor. I don't think there's a lot of criticism of our DE recruiting.

If this is supposed to be sarcasm, you're doing it wrong.

"there are more covid deaths…

"there are more covid deaths than have been reported." Really? How can you possibly know that? Are you aware that the CDC has instructed medical personnel to report deaths as Covid related if there is any possibility that the virus was present? They are doing so even without any testing of the deceased. Morticians in NYC are expressing doubt that all cases are properly classified. In one case, a doubting relative had an autopsy performed and no covid was found. It is suspected that the actual cause of death was improper intubation by the nursing home. So tell us about your science based conclusion.

I thought this was the best movie from the worst book. That's easy: Blade Runner.  Everything about "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" was a disaster after the title.

Remember when Jeff Long was a serious candidate for our AD?

"Chancellor [Doug] Girod, [athletic director] Jeff Long and KU stand firmly behind Coach Self, his staff and our men's basketball program, as well as our robust compliance program."
