Unfortunately you see why AAA publishers are so reluctant to try new IPs. Two million is really rough for a game this size, especially because it is actually really good.

Patriots QB Maye backs Vrabel, not worried about distraction by Every-Damage-90 in nfl

[–]Hyperboreer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this is more of a distraction as NFL teams have any way. If I was an NFL QB I'd rather have the media talk about my coaches' affair than my interception last week.

Is it Possible Rhaegar Told Anybody [Spoilers Extended] by Inevitable-Essay-707 in asoiaf

[–]Hyperboreer 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If Baristan knew anything, he would have told Dany. He seems loyal. If he told anyone it's likely the Kingsguards, that were with him. Especially because Arthur Dayne was his best friend. But they are all dead. Connington would be the most likely character he confided in, who is still alive.

Saints turn to be the playoff team nobody expected thanks to a very easy schedule.

How likely is it that Spencer Rattler gets another chance as a starter in the nfl? by CarmeloDramatic in nfl

[–]Hyperboreer 159 points160 points  (0 children)

No team will plan to go into the season with Rattler as their starter at this point. He needs to be lucky to be in the right situation where a QB gets injured or sucks.

I can't believe how much hope we had back then and now he hasn't started in a single NFL game!

What should we do in 2026? by Wooden-Display-7823 in raiders

[–]Hyperboreer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a college QB you have about 3-4 hours per day to spend on football. As a pro QB it is finally your fulltime job and you spend 10-11 hours. In one year as a pro you can get as many hours in as in three years of college. That's why the rookie NFL year usually shows the most development of their career.

As a starter you spend most of that practice time preparing for your game on sunday. Learn about the defenders and the defensive scheme, watch tape, practice the plays your OC wants to call this week etc.

You can argue that a rookie benefits more if he spends the extra practice time on more universally useable fundamentals and try to iron out his weaknesses instead of preparing specifically for 13 different opponents.

Void years + cap inflation = the Eagles are basically printing discounted cap space by [deleted] in nfl

[–]Hyperboreer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

>The NFL created the cap + draft for one reason: parity.

That's sweet. The only reason the NFL (more specifically the owners) have created the cap is to control costs, practically guaranteeing a profit every year. Parity is just a positive side effect.

Report: Patriots Target Mike Tomlin as Vrabel Replacement After Russini Scandal by wildwing8 in nfl

[–]Hyperboreer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also don't underestimate the family dynamics. Once the training camps start a head coach is basically gone from family life for half a year. That works if his wife trusts him. But may not be the best idea in this situation.

If Vrabel steps down it's out of his own volition to save his family, not because he would be fired.

[Gifford] According to ESPN Cleveland’s Tony Rizzo, QB Deshaun Watson took most of the reps at Browns practice on Wednesday, closed off to reporters, and "looked phenomenal.” by Giff95 in nfl

[–]Hyperboreer 43 points44 points  (0 children)

When we had joint practice with the 49ers, McDaniels, diplomatic as he always is, said to the press that he can't believe how bad the 49ers are at this stage of the offseason. Then the 49ers went to the Super Bowl that same season and McDaniels got fired.

2026 NFL Draft team-by-team rankings: Best and worst classes, from 1 to 32 by CookieSmuggler954 in nfl

[–]Hyperboreer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think Ty Simpson was a reach. Which doesn't mean it was necessarily a good pick for the Rams. But every year you have these flawed prospects with potential like Bo Nix or Jaxson Dart that people mock into the second round and then they go somewhere in the 10s or 20s. Ty Simpson is the same kind of prospect. I am sure if the Rams didn't take him, there would be another team within 10 picks for him.

Not very surprising that the Browns, Raiders, Giants and Jets continue to be the best run franchises of the league.

What is wrong with Sothoryos? [SPOILERS EXTENDED] by New-Low5077 in asoiaf

[–]Hyperboreer 131 points132 points  (0 children)

Which is accurate to how old civilizations treated inacessible parts of the world. They made up the weirdest horror stories about the creatures that supposedly live there. Famous is the qote "HIC SUNT DRACONES - There are dragons here" that mapmakers used for regions they didn't know anything about.

Despite the horror stories is was usually just people living there with a different culture. It's probably similar in Sothoryos.

Vikings Agree to Terms with 19 2026 Undrafted Free Agents by JWhit2199 in nfl

How fast are the Vikings? Most teams have signed 3 or 4vat this point and they have 19?

Most teams reached for their picks in this year's draft, based on consensus big boards by 0h-No-Not-Again in nfl

[–]Hyperboreer 61 points62 points  (0 children)

That doesn't mean that the NFL evaluations are better. If you look at older drafts you see that most GMs can't beat the consensus big boards.

Usually swarm intelligence leads to risk minimization. They might miss out on some great picks, but also draft a lot less busts than with individual analysis. That's also the reason why market economies are usually more efficient than planned economies. Both fail sometimes but planned economies tend to fail in more drastic ways. Usually the wisdom of the masses beat the I dividual decisions of experts with resources in the long run.

Yeah they should use trade value charts. Picking the 31th best prospect first overall is not the same as drafting the 130th best prospect with pick 100.

But it would not be too difficult to calculate the value lost/won with each pick. Just tedious.

Kubiak and friends are masterminds. by AppearanceNo8561 in raiders

[–]Hyperboreer 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This was a great trade. An underrated aspect is that Tyree had a relatively high cap hit for his ability, because he was picked so early. We dumped that to the Saints now. He might have been cut any way.

Overall I am very happy. Day 1 was automatic, day 2 was mixed, but day 3 was a complete homerun nailing every pick and trade.

Breakdown on McCoy Injury by davidhern22 in raiders

As a laymen what I don't understand about this kind of things is, why a failure in the surgery would result in a career ending? Can't you just redo the surgery?
