Cards could still take him or maye depending on this year. They’d have to find someone to trade Murray to though I’d believe
Who's gonna take a contract that big
For a qb? They could find a suitor if this year is not that bad
Plus someone could negotiate for the cards to eat some of the contract
They're gonna have to eat some of that, that's the only way I see him moving
The contract isn’t as bad as people think it is either. Only one of those years is he making more than 25m
🤔
I'm excited to see what Bryce Young does...
I'm a bit of a doubter but I hope I'm wrong!
Rest in peace to Macy btw 😔🙏🏾
I know how it can be👍🏾
Twas a little butthole at times but a good cat nonetheless
Still blows me away he made it to 19 but is what it is

Must've gotten good genes from the parents
He's done it...somehow
Base that is btw
💪🏾 strong cat
Tell you what, and I can only speak for myself on this, but if the Cards end up with the 1st pick then I would gladly take Kyler off of their hands
I feel the same with my lions if Goff doesn’t have the year we hope
That would actually be a nutty move...Or do you take a risk on fresh talent on a lower contract...
Sheesh, can't even begin to imagine what that Lions O would look like with a legit dual threat QB under center
Kyler wouldn’t have to run for his life much at all either
Completely depends on where my guys end up draft wise, in position for Williams/Maye is the dream but I'm coming around on Penix
Stop it bruh they would actually sweep the NFC, no jokes.
Not exactly a high bar to reach considering how top heavy the conference is atm 
Real, I was talking to my dad about this
Depends on how Murray plays
Much less stressful to be a fan of an NFC team rather than an AFC team atm I imagine, AFC a damn murderers row of young QBs
AFC is ridiculously loaded and the NFC is like 5 teams deep 😭
Like it's literally not fair
Just crazy luck how the AFC had just nabbed most of the young QB prospects in recent years
And also built solid casts around them on both sides of the ball
Thankfully for us NFC boys and girls we only need to beat one of them the get the biggest prize in the sport
And as the saying goes: Any Given Sunday
Yeah good luck with that
Hey man, Eagles were up big before they choked in the SB
Unfortunately for us we have to pray that the QB we face on the mountaintop isn’t Patrick Mahomes II
It could happen
AFC literally has my Top 5 QBs in the whole league 😭
Tbh I wouldn't wanna face Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, or Patrick Mahomes
I got in no particular order Mahomes, Allen, Jackson, Burrow, and Hurts rn
I don’t think Hurts is top 5
Who is better than Hurts?
The talent around him makes him top 5
Sure
Hurts top 5 easy
But that’s not the question
I think even without his weapons the dude is beyond talented
Give my lions anyone to face, I know they ready
I think my top 5 would go
Mahomes
Burrow
Allen
Hurts
Jackson
You have arguments to make that guys like Herbert or old man Rodgers are better overall QBs than him, but his own talent along with how loaded his roster is puts him top 5 for me rn
My Top 6: Mahomes, Burrow, Allen, Herbert, Jackson, Hurts.
Herbert and Jackson are interchangeable
Herbert ain’t moving up til that fucker wins a playoff game imo
But Herbert hasn't won shit and neither has Jackson
And I love him, but come on man
I'm of the camp that that game was not his fault he put up 30. His defense SOLD
I am with Vinny 100%
I have Rodgers on this Jets team above Hurts
We haven't seen him play a down in Jets green
His defense forced 4 turnovers😭
That's an L
The dude could be beyond gone
They also gave up 27
Didn’t the defense also score 7?
I think about it like this: who would you want on your team the most?
Hurts
Hurts
Def not
You're also a giants fan
Your inner Giants fan is clouding how good he is rn
It’s not even ab that

Y'all crazy
I do the same shit with Josh Allen
I'm taking Herbo over Hurts no joke
He’s good but I also understand he had the best team in football
I find him extremely overrated
Weirdly, a quarterback will do better when he has top tier talent
Correct
Allen needs to stop trying to be Favre 2.0 and give a shit about when and where to throw the ball in clutch time
I want consistency from Hurts before I put him in top 5
REAL. (I hope he never learns this as a dolphin fan)
It’s why Purdy usually isn’t included in top 10 convos
Okay so
Either way, they forced 4 turnovers dude. Herbert couldn’t keep his defense off the field either
It goes both ways unfortunately. Brady didn’t always score but he knew when his defense was gassed and didn’t keep putting em out there
Even though more people should be making the case
I was so mad during the Purdy Mania man I watched a guy just spawn in with a loaded squad and succeed more than my team 😭
If you win the turnover margin by 3/4 you should be dropping more than 30 with the field position they achieved in that game
So if Hurts woulda won the sb
Mr Relevant
What happens then
Check down king right here 💪🏾
I think Jackson is just better Hurts btw
Hurts is top 5 my people
Jackson chokes in the playoffs though
Put Lamar behind those Eagles
Lamar has to drag his Garbo roster around
I can’t call Jackson a choker? He’s played in what? 3 playoff games and is 1-2?
1-2 won’t make me call you a choker tbh. If he plays last year they likely win as well
My problem with Jackson is the health
He's 1-4
Mahomes
Burrow
Allen
Jackson
Rodgers
Hurts
Herbert
T Law(?)
Stafford
Dak
Dak don't belong
Purdy is the definition of being pulled up by his team
I agree
Lemme look up Lamar’s real record in yoffs
But let’s see
I'm taking Tua but that's 100% the fan in me
You just said you want consistency but are now putting a guy who doesn't even have a full season under his belt over Dak and Stafford? 
Come on now
Tua should be retired
Real but he'll be alright
No he won't, dude will have cte symptoms in 2 years with the damage I watched him take
I ADMITTED I WAS FANBOYING OKAY 😭😭😭
It's awful
It is...
So Lamar is fully 1-3, but last year for me exposed the problems surrounding Lamar as well.
But I guess he believes he's gonna be alright
DJ is gonna be a top 10 QB after this year but no one is ready for that conversation
Ima drop a real top 10 list for y’all
This is an awful take that man is buns
It's generational, multiple lives changing money
Praying that he miraculously does not suffer from CTE 🙏🏾
Actually maybe DJ will have the Giants curse of always being disrespected which is fine
Eli Manning won two SBs against the GOAT and is somehow still a question mark for the Hall
- Mahomes
- Burrow
- Allen
- Hurts
- Jackson
- Herbert
- Rodgers
- Lawrence
- Dak
- Goff or Cousins, take your pick
Tua would be 9 and move down the other 2 but he can’t stay healthy at all
The man is quite literal .500 WL for his career, as someone who believes he will get in one day let's not pretend that isn't a completely valid criticism against him
Goff isn’t top 10 but I’d want him over Cousins
People say 15 but forget we were a rushing offense
It's because besides those two seasons, Eli derped ridiculously hard
That's all I need to see
Goff easily top 10 with Tua not healthy
With no WR room
Eli is the biggest enigma in NFL history
So true
Still seems like we outscored one of the best receiving rooms in the league
And held JJ to what
40-something yards
Y'all WR room was tragic fr
Still is but it’s getting there
Our WR1 is a tight end held together by duct tape
Darren Waller top 5 TE in the league next year tho
Dj is not gone be too 10
Genuine good take
Waller is top 5 easily at his position, he just has health issues
DJ bottom 10 QB next year
It’s another tua top 10 issue
Tua is going to break out this year
He won’t but I can dream
Heck i can’t think of another qb who has somehow derped their way to potentially being in the hof
He can get there
He broke out to me last year tbh, just the head injuries man
Dude had two good runs and then trolled the rest of the time
Hope he stays healthy
Tua already did
Just hope he can be more robust next season
And not be too system reliant
We were literally a top 1-2 offense when he was healthy
Crazy stuff
Having two of the best WRs in the league helps
The dolphins got shut down a few too many times by physical defenses for my liking
And I need waddle to NOT DROP DIMES OH MY GOD THAT GAME MADE ME MAD
And one of the best offensive minds in the game
Yeah
Too bad Tua won’t finish the season
Don't speak that into existence, I reject this.
25-8 TD ratio and he played in what? 12 games?
Bro, his brain is cooked
Tua is good, really good actually
I would also like to point out that if we weren't on our third string quarterback and our second string defense we would have definitely clapped the bills in the playoffs. They BARELY beat us.
He is but his brain is fucking sashimi rn
W Vinny
Our coaches are ass
Cast or not, he makes the right choices. That to me puts you in top 10 no matter how it’s sliced
I’d go Lamar over hurts considering how much longer Lamar has been elite
A healthy Stafford beats out Kirk and Goff for me
Interchangeable for me
Kirk is inflated by the rest of his offensive room
If hurts does this same shit next year with all of the expectations then yeah he’s legit
That’s a maybe for me rn. And I love stafford. But I think my boy may be washed a bit
Genuinely think he’s just above average
Have you seen his line
Not great
Kirk Cousins is so funny to me
Which also means he’s close to the top 10 funnily enough
Kirk is top 15
Cuz if average is like 15 then rofl
So is DJ
Oh both easy
No
Bro DJ had one good year
Kirk just slightly better and more healthy jimmy ngl
You’re hard pressed to find a QB who did more with less than DJ
I mean idk if i can name 15 guys who are going to start who are better
Kirk is so much better than that check down merchant Jimmy garropolo
Despite also needing elite talent to do jack shit with the vikings?
His defense is cheeks
They made the giants look good
I have DJ above Kirk but I get others who disagree cuz Kirk has a longer resume
93 mil bid for Caicedo rejected are you fucking serious? That time has come when the 93 mil bid is considered "bitch are you srs"?
Love how people are like
Brighton too greedy
Idk if I’d do it right now
X defense made the giants look good
But yeah Kirk ain’t shit for me ngl
They know what they are doing
after seeing him job every time he faces a good team recently
I respect the grind
But like
Same defense did the same to the Bills and won
They will replace caicedo with a random 5th division player from Bolivia
We got Trossard for 21 mil despite him having one year left
True
Kirk >> DJ
By a good margin. He was even solid back in Washington
Bills defense is too vanilla
Def not by a huge margin
They can’t adapt for shit
They’re on the same tier
Not huge but it’s a solid margin imo
Kirk and DJ
Ben White was sold for 50 while been on loan in Championship the entire season
As soon as nickel two high doesn’t work they fall to shit
Kirk and DJ are not the same tier at all imo
Our coords are trash, I’ve been saying this for the past 2 years after the 13 seconds incident
So curious to see what they look like now that Frazier is gone and McD is back calling plays
DJ is one below
You either underrate DJ or overrate Kirk Vinny
DJ could do more w the Vikings than Kirk currently does
Dang McDermott pulling a bellicheck
I’ve been so invested in one piece I haven’t kept up with nfl
To me Dorsey is on his last year if he can’t break through this season
Dorsey is trash
He is afraid of using his awesome rb room
This is djs first year having a 2 to 1 ratio or better in TD:INT since his rookie year
Kirk hasn’t had less than that since 2014…
Then again our oline is cheeks
And that’s just one simple but massive stat
Josh Allen deserves better
Cast or not, Kirk clears DJ rn
DJ cleaned up his turnovers like crazy this season
Sure Kirk has a longer resume
I get it and respect it
Bias
But it doesn’t change why I believe DJ > Kirk
This
This a wild take imo
I don’t think it is
It is wild, nobody ever brings up the fact that Kirk has never had the same coaching staff two years in a row
Vikings were a much better system than Giants pre-Schoen and Daboll
Kirks cast in Washington was old and injury prone as shit and was still toppling what DJ has done
I get DJs cast is mid as fuck, but kirks production has stayed the same or been better. Nothing says to me DJ could do more with the vikes
At the very least, the pieces
This season alone
If Kirk had a fall off you’d have a point but that’s not the case really
Would say Cousins
Dak isn’t top 10
Replace Hodgins, Slayton, and Richie James with JJ, Osborn, and Thielen
Not as high on Goff as you are at 10. See him as 12
My bias says Goff, but it doesn’t even matter if Tua is healthy as then neither are top 10
See what happens
Carried by system and not mentioning Tua is crazy
Anyway let’s see what happens this season lol
I mean yeah, Tua has a great system and all, but he’s still pretty damn good
Chiefs repeat I can feel it
Repeating is hard
Not if you have the refs
They used the refs against the TEXANS
You can easily watch the chiefs lose in the Conference Championship
In my dreams sure
Thielen is washed and gone just letting that be known
Last season
Burrow is gonna win a bowl soon
Addison is the replacement
I’m glad to see burrow be top 2 in the league
He isn’t
Makes me proud as an Lsu fan
He is though
I’m an lsu fan too
Josh is better
Bring it home for Cincy
Again, refs
I think Allen is a better athlete than Burrow
But Burrow is the better overall QB
It’s close
But Eli Apple vs copper kupp is like a baby vs a hydrogen bomb
Possibly better, but their edge rushers don’t really impress me. Once Von went done, pressure got worse and it showed.
Allen burrow are also interchangeable
^
Look at their coaching staff and offensive line production
My issue w Burrow is pocket movement and closing in the 4th
Allen is doing all of this with McDermott as his coach
He is a closer
Refs are the villains
Man creates a comeback against you hobbling on one leg
Burrow has elite pocket presence though
Dude the Bengals had plenty of chances to win that AFCCG
I get it
Refs had bad calls
Can’t blame the refs for everything
Cant convince me he didn’t use steroids against the jags
5th down
Mahomes had a similar problem the year before
Yeah that was horrible
Or before that idk
But that’s not the only reason they lost
The Bengals themselves admitted it was more than one play
I don’t think it is or will be a common burrow problem
Bengals lost because Mahomes did the zest walk
I hope the bengals win it this year if and when the giants don’t
I just want the bills to stop choking
Watch it be Baltimore in a bounce back year for harbaugh
Baltimore isn’t winning the division
I’m very high on the ravens
It’ll be cincy
If they can stay healthy
Ravens have been very injury happy the past few seasons
Lamar having a competent team not full of JV players?!? What happened the last time this occurred? 14-2
damn David silva retired
Baltimore is more than capable of winning that division with a healthy Lamar
Key word is healthy of course
Bengals will regress, not a lot
Raven unhealthy last year we’re 10-7
Not too shabby with all that went down. If only man didn’t fumble on the goal line they make playoffs
They made playoffs
Right?
Am I trppin?
They potentially beat the Bengals
Then they get clapped by the chiefs
They did, lost in wildcard without Lamar
That’s the playoff game I’m thinking of. Very confused with all the Lamar talk
Shows how much unfortunate shits happened with him
Marks andrews vs 22 men
That really should've been called block in the back on that fumble return
Yeah cause Lamar is 1-3 as that playoff loss isn’t on him, as he didn’t play
Ravens beat them in damn near every category too…fumble really costed them
Overall fraudulent playoffs from the refs
Also the play design of the sneak was trash
Sean Payton talking shit again btw @rustic ore 
I forgot abt the broncos
Went after Nathaniel Hackett…I get it, but let it rest lol
Nathaniel Hackett waking up today
Clown stuff
Also John Ross retired, turns out you need to be more than straight line fast to be a good football player, who knew?
Crazy, he was so nice at Washington
Tis interesting how many college players get the injury bug once they go pro
He had a problem
Whole different animal I guess
College football just doesn't easily translate
Also need to not go fast in a car

What do you mean getting 4000 yards in an air raid system doesn’t mean success in the nfl????
Gardner Minshew in shambles
His prior year at ecu told the real story lol
I remember hearing some crazy story a couple years ago where like Bud Light or someone offered someone a full year supply of beer if they took Minshew 1st overall in fantasy, no shot that could've been legit
yeah, he suffered an ACL injury in pre-season and decided to retire
kinda sucks to go out like that
Yeahi saw
Gosh the view must be nice from that glass house of his
I just don’t understand piling on the guy atp. He’s had his fair share now
And like you said, glass house for sure
Broncos Jets October 8th. I want to see full pettiness
Rodgers going off
Is this in jersey
Denver

Here is the cart coming out for Joe Burrow.
Massive news https://t.co/zbHB6cJbhb
Damn 
Hopefully it’s not a serious injury 🙏
Shohei Ohtani just threw the first complete game of his MLB career, a brilliant one-hit, 111-pitch shutout of the Detroit Tigers.
(He went the distance 13 times in Japan, seven of them shutouts.)
The Angels are now 53-49 -- 3.5 back of Toronto for the final AL wild card spot.

I’m convinced ohtani is the best in the league 🐐
I watched all of it unfortunately…they play again in 30 minutes

Oh boy. This is the play Joe Burrow suffered his injury …. and it does not look good.

Hope homie is just cramping bad. It’s hot as hell over here in the Midwest
DAMN NOT AN INJURY
NOOOO
Good luck to your tigers
Holy damn
Damn dude first it was ramsey carted off, now it’s burrow??
BREAKING: Joe Burrow was just carted to the locker room, after going down on a play during 11-on-11.
🎥 Video of the play, and Joe leaving the field:
#Benagls @WCPO

Hope these guys stay healthy
Yeah that’s not good
Yeah that looks like it could be a torn acl but it could be a calf strain
My ACL ain’t that important
Either way hope he’s ok prayers up 🙏
He can have mine
#Bengals coach Zac Taylor tells reporters it was a calf injury for Joe Burrow.
I’m afraid this isn’t the case 
Yeah I know now, I seen someone say Injury in one of the tweets posted a minute ago
#Bengals coach Zac Taylor tells reporters that QB Joe Burrow suffered a calf strain — which is much better news than several alternatives. Have to imagine this takes him off the field for the preseason. TBD on a timeframe.
Bengal bros….
They can linger though
oh no
That boy wouldn’t be touching a field until week 1 if I’m Taylor. He can stay home atp
What the devil ohtani
HAHAHAHA OF COURSE SHOHEI OHTANI HITS A HOME RUN HOURS AFTER FINISHING OFF A COMPLETE GAME 1 HITTER!!
THIS IS THE GREATEST BASEBALL PLAYER OF ALL TIME

Oh that’s a yakuza reference. Liked him more than I thought I would.
Everything I say is a Yakuza reference in some capacity
And, same
Kiryu cowboy
So true
I hope Saleh shuts him the hell up
Sean Payton is such a piece of shit
he is for sure no question
just threw the entire staff around him under the bus
and sucked up so hard to russ
as if a grown ass man can't decide whether he wants to bring his entourage or not
He took shots for no reason. Hope the Jets bury them that game.
hilarious also when he talks mad shit and makes it about himself
No wonder Buc and Siren hated this arrogant tool
congrats you are doing what you said you weren't doing
I had zero issues with the broncos until they hired Payton
Haven’t liked that man since I started watching nfl
@fluid moat yo apparently we're closing in on Facundo González
He was voted the best defender in the U20 world cup he won with Uruguay
I like it
Let Giuntoli cook
SHOHEI OHTANI.
We are all witnesses. https://t.co/PrRZAztifN
This dude lol
Can my tigers just forfeit, I’m already tired of watching this
greatest player to pick up a glove or bat???
You’re watching greatness though
🤫let them hype themselves up needlessly in peace
Damn why are you a hater?

I don’t think it’s being a hater to realize that people calling him the greatest player to ever set foot on the field is a bit silly
He’s great no doubt, might be the best overall in the game today
But mcdavid is clearly the goat reeeee
But GOAT? Let’s temper expectations a smidge please
Yeah I don’t know if he’s for sure the goat
I think saying “might” is a bit silly
How many years he can sustain anything close to this will determine his goat status ultimately though
Who’s greater and who’s better are mixed together in the modern sports world. I would say, said player is greater for their era and their impact, but another player with less impact was the better player.
oof and now he’s hurt
A story in one picture
Hhof store
It’s upsetting when this is happening 2 times in one day against your team tho
Man’s slapping us around twice in 6 hours
Ramsey out to start the season
Opting for knee surgery
Oof that sucks
Looks like it’s just cramping
Hopefully
We talking about Messi?
Wrong sport
So true
Ain’t even think of it like that😭
Cause no one really cares about preseason
same
Saquon be disrespected but watch if he doesn't have a great year Giants fans will be praising Schoen to hell and back
And if he does he have a great year and walks, they will demonize him lmao
Pretty much how it goes sadly
We don’t claim the Giants fans who attacked Saquon in this
Wasn’t his or the FO’s fault
But all is good now
Also man training camp already brutal
Jalen Ramsey may miss a few weeks
Is Joe brr ok?
yeah
Wtf twitter is called x now?????
burrow has a calf strain
This is beyond stupid
Return to Allegriball
the calf strain?
10 minutes in and have about 0% possession, this season will be fun
that’s peak allegri
Is this gonna be the blueprint for getting a quick ring? Time will tell
We’ve seen Brady and the Bucs
Rams going all out in using their cap
Not the Jets are throwing their hat in the ring
Jets even if they sign cook will still be close to 10m below the cap I believe
This year and next as it projects as of now
well they have time to make cuts
Danilo ✅
Buddy snuck Zach wilson in there
kinda have to in order to be cap compliant
What a shitty goal lmao
This is the blue print of a disappointing year
I fully believe the Jets will do next to nothing in the AFC
I meant below, that’s my mistake
I’m saying the have money
they'll juuuust hit that playoff conversation
there's going to be one point in like october where people will be like yoooo the JETS?! and then likely barely get in by December
Did we watch the same Aaron Rodgers last year
yes
oh gotcha man
Idk, I can’t call rodgers washed. He had a fire lit from like week 12 up until the last week
He even played decent in the last game just got out scored for once
yeah they are going to barely make it and get shit stomped
the chargers miss out and they implode

Plus Green Bay had a fuck ton of drops
and herbert goes to the niners

Ready for that week 1 L bro?
I am ready for many Ls
Don’t trust Tua to stay healthy. I have jets competing with the bills for the division
That doesn't change that I don't buy the Jets
the most jets thing possible is a week 1 win against the bills and mfers go craaaaazy
I’m honestly really thinking I want to say jets win the division
one ounce of hope is like dropping a bread crumb near a horde of ants
See, this is how much I hate the Jets. For all the shit I talked against Buffalo

I hope to god Allen and Co kick Rogers teeth in
i'm going bills, bengals, chiefs jaguars wild card - ravens, dolphins, jets
I would 10000% rather Miami or Buffalo win anything over the Jets even smelling success
they will
We have all the same teams just different div winners
more people are going to get hurt soon so I'm not gonna speculate like that just yet
Kimmy knows ball
Kimmy is a baller man
All of you are ballers
I can't wait for that game lol
my goal is to go to a jets game this year
For once I’ll be rooting for rodgers I think
I saw Favre lol might as well see Rodgers
considering what mark sanchez did i get it
the packers to jets qb train
in 5 years: the new york jets sign jordan love for 5 years, 100 mill
I’m prepping for rodgers one year wonder in Minnesota eventually
rodgers going to be a viking in 2025
Future first ballot HOF Jordan Love
I love Weah so far
Pulisic might be the Lebron James of soccer but Weah is Michael Jordan
W
Yeah I heard he has to get surgery on his meniscus but that his ACL is fine
So I imagine at minimum he’s out the first month of the season
Which, while rough, is much better than the alternative of him getting hurt late in the year or even miss the season
Dolphins defense can survive without him for a bit
But it would have helped against the Diggs, Wilson matchups
Viri!

Forever Arsène. Forever Arsenal.
💖 914
I'll just vx to view here

Greatest manager of all time
dang
Ehhhh
As a Liverpool fan he's probably above Klopp
But he's not above Paisley
Top 3 no order for me are Paisley, Mourinho, and SAF
Pep and Arsène round out the top 5
Curious to see how you’d view Cruyff’s tenure
Fuck man
He's gotta be there too tbh
Idk who I take out for him. Or rather I do but it's controversial
I'd take Pep out for him
That would be controversial
Cruyff made pep and his influence is far more substantial + he made Barca who and what it is today
Pep is utterly effective but always has done it at the level of very high ranking clubs where he could essentially have any player(s) he wanted
Mbappé's career needs to be studied from a economical standpoint
the way he manages to raise up his stock is astounding
If he wasn't a parisian i would be such a fan
Also, from where is Saudi Arabia getting enough money to offer a single player that would be equivalent of the GDP of a small country ?
i don't believe in the numbers i read
You woefully misunderstand the economic power of the Saudis
And the level at which they want to sportswash their image
that's exactly why i'm asking where is this amount of money even coming from (for a single individual athlete)
Sorry but it is actually insanity
i can hardly imagine that amount of money in someone's pocket
....the Saudis lol
That's what I'm trying to say
This is a state funded sports league
They have so much money that they've bought lithium supplies as to future proof their economy for when the world becomes less reliant on oil and needs more batteries for electric cars
This sounds like a waste, there is no way you need to spend a billion per player to make it
This is a whole different game now comrade
this doesn't sound profitable at all
It doesn't feel real tbh
It's just numbers at this point
sports aren't necessarily supposed to be profitable
f1 has been acash drain for years
without the budget cap teams would just be lighting money on fire
and plus sportswashing makes money by having people show up and boost their reputation
so even if its a money pit its supposed to make money in other ways
So Saudi Arabia just decided to gift Mbappé 800 million for a year because they are shitting money ?
pretty much yeh rofl
(if he accepts)
well partialy but yeah they are giving a fuck ton of money cuz they can and they want to boost their reputation
Ideally Saudi wants to be a destination for people who aren't Muslims
Funny thing is the only one that stands to lose badly in this situation is PSG
They can start doing that by getting big name players
to get like 250 mill just to have someone talk to mbappe? that's a pretty good deal
Anything to get people to watch their league is potentially priceless down the road
Mbappé can play his last year on the contract, get the bag and walk for free AND get a gigantic deal or play in a better league
Get enough players to have fun teams and people will forget the jungle that is the sociopoliticalscape there
The goal for them is to get as many eyes as possible right now and hopefully have them stick around for years to come
Was also the goal w the qatari world cup
or a place like baku
Truth
Baku 
Are you tuning in to watch their league ? Cuz i don't know anyone that is an avid football fan tuning in to watch anything other than the big 5 leagues
hey if we can make money who cares if there are explosions near by
No, but who’s to say that Muslims across the world will be more glued to that than traditional European leagues
i hardly go out of Bundesliga, Premiere League or La Liga
why people are going to china rofl
got to make fat stacks of yen
This sounds like a very risky shot for the future if you ask me, they are spending BAZINGUILLIONS for the POTENTIAL of having a solid fanbase
ain't that just any sports team
I don’t even watch NBA cause it clashes with hockey, no chance I watch Saudi ball, but this isn’t about fans like me
Yeah but Saudi Arabia just elevated it 200 levels of what it used to be
you don't spend billions of dollars on the carcass called the commanders for no reason
Literally yes. Everything is in hopes that they stick and cement themselves as a legit league
it is comical yeah
Same with everything regarding entertainment tbh
xQc got a gigantic bag for a platform that is not even guaranteed to succeed
same with Shroud and Ninja in the past
its happening on a smaller scale. the amount of middle east people buying into western teams is kinda absurd
Not anymore they aren't lol
That’s exactly it, basically you have two options to grow as an entity. Either it’s organic or you throw stupid money at it
Guangzhou evergrande fucked everything up
i'm not sure this works, trying to implant tress on a empty landscape doesn't magically generates a forest, it usually happens the other way around
well yeah cuz of a certain pademic
Not at all
i mean china is super hard to get into now
Guangzhous debts are more than every other team itl combined
It's a crazy story if you read up on it
This happens while in the world of Esports every org is dying lmao
But china basically gave up
Having a gaming organization is willingly going into debt
ironic how this world is varied
oh match fixing fun
Mbappé just raised his stock immensely by simply FLIRTING with Real Madrid
he was already going to be offered a gigantic bag, but he probably caused some sense of urgency which increased the amount of money on the Al Hilal deal
The bag isn’t the reason why he’s going to move to Madrid
Can RM realistically even pay him more than he gets at PSG?
That idk, idk enough about that
Idk ball enough tbh I don’t watch ucl
oh yeah looks like evergrande did some sketchy business rofl
selling shit that pretty much didn't exist
I watch a team that has 30% possession on a good day bro lmfao
on a bad day you just use bleach
My ball knowledge is all about shithousery
Working in the entertainment industry like sports is crazy
Because no human is worth this amount of money, but the market and demand allows these athletes to pocket this many coins
I remember seeing the other day that the mascot for the denver nuggets gets paid 700k an year lmao
We, as consumers, get punished the most too. Blackouts, apparel and ticket prices
nfl apparel is reaching bonkers levels
400 cad for a freaking jersey
jerseys cost more than a nice jacket at this rate
That i would buy to use in a game but the ticket is like 2k euros in the middle of the upper level where you have a mid view
for like 2k euros
okay that's just insane rofl
and i risk not even seeing the star player because he is recovering for injury or just sitting out
400 for a football jersey is insane dude
superbowl pricing is comical
The second they slap a logo on a regular t shirt the price jacks up
They are shunning away people from the stadiums and making people watch from streaming sites, this kills organized fanbases so hard
for me 50% of sports is watching the team i grew up cheering play irl, but paying ludicrous amounts for games every weekend is not an option for a middle class blue collar like me
heck paying to watch like two games a year is hard enough
40k to watch the NBA finals between the Denver Nuggets and the Miami heat at courtside 
LA Lakers vs Nuggets was the time for celebrities to show up
nba playoff tickets are way too expensive
i need to join this scheme of selling classes of how to get rich quick
40k for a 3 hours game ? i currently don't see a future where i'm thinking of using 40 thousand dollars for that purpose
I'm even going to do the maths to see how much i would have to work to get this money cuz i would get depressed 
🚨 EXCL: Manchester United reject £20m offer from West Ham to sign Harry Maguire permanently. David Moyes keen on England centre-back but unlikely #WHUFC will push again amid feeling 30yo wants to fight for #MUFC place + salary also an issue @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/M8zeee4AmI

We asked Dalvin Cook: What are the odds you become a Jet?
“I think they’re pretty high, man.”

Cool, can hate him too
Thought he was talking to the pats before he made a choice
Guess not
Oh well
Let him go suit up in Jets green, I'll root for his downfall
Juve kicked out of Conference
Also fined 20 mil
Fiorentina take their place
Chelsea also fined 10 mil
Minus another 20 mil and still can’t sell a single player
There are no excuses now, if baldy can’t win the scudetto now it’s time to say goodbye
Bijan Robinson is gonna be a problem.
💖 168
@rustic ore
He’s going to be good
Which is why I’m bullish on the falcons winning the division
Poor kid is gonna be run into the dirt though
Damn
Happy Birthday. 
He’s got cameras too
Really sounds like something Vince McMahon would do in a WWE program. Happy Birthday! And also:
Yeah
Damn it
So the Yanks will be good enough to just not be bad enough to fire people. The Cowboys way as they say.
I would like the Yankees to go to the bottom of the AL barrel pls
Future Pats HC Joe Judge dude?
Hey, they can say they still have an intense rivalry with the Ray- I mean Red Sox for last place in the AL East.

Silly, people. BOB future GM and HC
Laugh all you want now because someday
Someday
We will lose most of our gamss
Games
Then
Draft a qb worth a damn
How can you have high draft picks when BoB will trade them for average OL help. 
Imma pull a bears special
“It all starts in the trenches”😭
Have fun with Mac Jones now
But soon you’ll be pulling the shadow special
“What have you done for me lately”
Ah yes Tampa Bay Legend Tom Brady
Also, sounds like a Browns fan. "We'll get a high draft pick and get a future elite QB." Also Cleveland: Drafts Johnny Football
2008 can't hurt you anymore man
It’ll never go away
Matt Cassell and the Pats blowing them out was rough
100%
But the rings are a nice touch
The fact that I could have a special now.
That makes it not hurt so bad
With the 8th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft the New England Patriots select….Bo Nix, QB Oregon
I just hope Mac Jones either is really good (lmao no) or is really terrible
I don't want to play the middling card
Because then Bill might pick up his option
You’ve earned it, it truly is the essential question in sports for coaches and gms atp
Very few just stick it out
Sticking it out rarely works anymore
Not many tomlins and harbaugh out there
Mac Jones is honestly the perfect QB for the post Brady era. Not good enough to do crap long term, not bad enough to be benched long.
Michael Penix Washington
I wouldn't call that perfect
I would rather just have another hall of fame qb
That would be cool
I believe the contrary tbh. If you have good coach, I think it’s worth it to stick it out a bit longer sometimes
But I obviously have some recency bias in that take with Jim at Michigan
I personally believe that Bill has run his course. But this will be the year to prove it
The truth lies in the middle as with most things. Also depends on how the last coach left the team
Some get left in shambles
future head coach and gm - steve belicheck
yeah yeah good luck getting another hof qb
Every hall of fame coach either leaves too early or stays on for too long
No in between
Idk how high I am on penix tbh
He’s probably my third behind Maye and Williams
Good luck winning anything worth note with Kyle Shanahan
But that’s fluid to change
Older, had some health issues and absolutely NEEDS a solid o line
Hey at least we've won sbs in this century
You can already fire jokes at my expense. My team is at its low point already
Your Leafs give you more pain to be honest
I am more than happy with my lions rn
Finding good HCs are hard to find. I get that. The Raiders and Browns have gone through so many coaches the last 20+ years. But I first became a Bucs fab in the Jon Gruden era after the SB run. Having a good HC is good and all, but the worst feeling I could have is being good enough and yet having no optimism that you'll be good enough to make long runs in the playoffs or even make the playoffs.
hahahhahahhaah
also der leafs
i have zero hope and yet somehow this team manages to let me down
The Leafs at least have young in their prime names. The Bucs when I first became a fan were Barber and Brooks and an aging Alstott on offense.
They literally had a roster full of nobodies on offense.
Michael Clayton was probably one of our best receivers. The moment Gruden was gone, he became a nobody.
Bruce Allen was not good for you guys
After a point
Bruce Allen was a problem. But I know full well Gruden had more power.
He's the only guy I know who thought Chris Simms was a better option at QB than Aaron fucking Rodgers.
Hardest fall off a cliff I remember for a wideout
Him or Kenny Golladay lol
Sometimes the scheme and coaching just elevate the talent.
Alvin Harper for the Cowboys was not great as well after he left
like the nobodies the pats used as recievers
And I get to say that about the Bucs. Because Simms, Griese, and Gradkowski at QB makes me die inside.
I mean the pats had some decent ones, but never really one they drafted
yeah after drafting guys like alemndola and edelman
They didn’t draft Danny
did they not? huh
Malcolm Mitchell was good for them especially in that Falcons Super Bowl comeback. Just wish his injuries didn’t end his career
Danny was unsigned outta Texas tech
oh huh the rams picked him up from the eagles
Edelman was basically Bill's project. He basically came in as a Wes Welker 2.0.
Him branch and Edelman only solid ones they drafted
Yep
I remember people wanting Edelman in the HOF and I'm like, hell no.
He’s not a hall of famer
If it was based purely off playoffs sure
givens was good also
slater? wooofff
I personally liked Patten more
Slater is a "receiver" but he is a hall of fame special teamer
Givens is the definition of needed Brady
yeah he didn't do shit as a wideout
I forgot that the Patriots consistently shuffled their running backs
Sorry, I don't value Welker or Edelman the same as many do. They were basically Brady's perfect 5-10 yard check down pass for a TD guys that he loved that even went to Scotty Miller in Tampa.
We never meant him to be one
harry and meyers in the same draft bruh
Meyers was the better player. And I have sun Devil bias too
Have a high value on welker tbh
probably was
And Edelman was a playoff guru
Harry was slow as hell getting out of his routes
I get Jules regular seasons, but Welker had monster seasons for a while. Dude was legit a good wideout
Welker was fantastic. Great route runner and such good hands…except in the clutch lol
Had it with the Patriots and Broncos
Welker gave more importance to the slot position I think?
He definitely did
Welker basically made the position into what it id
Is
Devaluing that is baffling to me
Hope those concussions don’t ruin his life
I remember them happening too often to him
Injuries led to his decline as well
Only one season in NE under 1k yds receiving, which was injury shortened I believe
Literally that was the only year he didn't catch 110+ balls
And he had a 10 yard avg reception
Ryan Poles said earlier this week that Bears rookie RT Darnell Wright crushed his workout plan. Turns out Wright did the one meant for receivers and he realized it later. He lost 16 pounds and hired a personal chef.

Dude was insane.
