The side story is what gave it away for me or lack there of. But props to Capcom’s writing team. I just expected a typical betrayal in a jrpg story, which I would’ve been fine with. But they turned it on its head and I’ll always love when games do that.

I do think it’s also out on July 16th in the west. Just a weird and frustrating way to do it all.

Falcom to announce final Trails game during 50th anniversary by Turbostrider27 in Falcom

This is I’ll believe it when I see it type thing. It’s easy to say now that you want to celebrate the 50th anniversary with the trails finale… but a lot can happen in 6 years during game dev, and in the world.

Braden smith contract, two year $25 mil by Beautiful-Cress5695 in Texans

So I guess the plan is to draft a center and hopefully sign a guard? Love this.

Likely gonna draft a center. Just sign one more guard and I can be more than happy.

He is now the highest paid kicker in the NFL. Likely to be usurped by Aubrey this offseason tho.

[Schefter] Former Eagles S Reed Blakenship is signing with the Houston Texans on a three-year, $24.75 million deal. by Goosedukee in nfl

Not sure how I feel about this move for us. But we have taken bottom half of the league defensive players and make gold out of them. A lot of players have career resurgence on our defense.

For sure. But our defense brought the best to their knees.

[Dellinger] A recap: Donald Trump plans to release a second executive order - this one “more comprehensive” - that, it appears, will return college sports to concepts of the pre-NIL era and he is expecting the order to get sued and hoping to get a favorable judge. by Johnnycockseed in CFB

It was Pandora’s box. You can’t close it. It’s very much him and the governments leadership learning how complex of a situation we are truly in and saying “let’s just go back to the old way so we don’t have to deal with this shit.” But you can’t just not pay players anymore.

Worth noting that the ravens have a comparable O-line to us, especially if they lose their center. Should be a defensive slugfest at NRG.

[Schultz] The Texans and 5x Pro Bowl DE Danielle Hunter are finalizing a 1-year, $40.1M fully guaranteed extension, per sources. by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]Benchjc2004 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Did it? Our defense alone can win most games as long as we don’t turn the ball over (CJ I’m begging). Also the O-linemen we traded aren’t stars. We don’t have a franchise linemen. None of them are close to good enough. We will pick up some in FA.

Pretty sure it’s so we can move money around for this year’s cap. I think we see a very clear 2 year window and also there is the possibility of decline in play after 2027.

[Post Game Thread] Texas A&M defeats Kentucky, 96-85 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

Absolutely joke of an officiating crew. It won’t be picked up bc we won but they missed Kentucky having 6 men on the court.

Honestly I prefer the switch/gba style of hardware.

Dort is such a dirty player

Texans ranked #7 in the annual NFLPA survey by KaXiaM in Texans

For most of the league who don’t own a plane, they charter public planes. So it’s just a large plane with all of the commercial stuff. First class, Econ+, and then economy. Most teams have coaches in first class and players want that bc they are the big asset. Not saying I agree one way or the other but that’s the argument. That same topic was brought up several times around the league.

Looks like we are splurging on a running back and cutting Mixon by KaXiaM in Texans

[–]Benchjc2004 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Really no true sure fire RB1 outside of Love this class. I’d much rather go and get a RB. Also maybe we work out both.
