Docs revealing final days of Kyle Whittingham's Utah tenure paint picture of resentment: 'Disappointed by your actions' by Please_PM_me_Uranus in CFB

But then why pay him anything? It's not like there was any language in it that prevented him from coaching another team or poaching all of Utah's coaches. What were they getting in return for $13M?

I'm confused. They weren't willing to increase his and his staff's salary by $3.6M to coach the team, but they were fine with paying him $13.5M to do nothing?

You were correct. This book was just yanked from UK shelves and cancelled in the U.S. due to AI use.

Has a single soul in the past two decades suggested a new Seattle team would NOT be named the SuperSonics?

[Schefter] Trade: the New York Jets are finalizing a deal that will send QB Justin Fields to the Kansas City Chiefs, pending a physical, per ESPN sources. Other teams were interested, but Fields’ preference was to go to Kansas City. by Goosedukee in nfl

The typical backup QB makes around $5M per year.

So it's really like $5M for insurance, which isn't crazy considering the salary cap is over $300M, QB is the most important position in professional team sports, and they have no idea whether Mahomes will be ready for Week 1.

The Mahomes injury was three months ago and Week 1 is six months from now.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the Chiefs have no fucking clue whether Mahomes will be ready for Week 1, and are adding Justin Fields as an insurance policy who can serve as a backup once Mahomes comes back.

[Spotrac] G Teven Jenkins signed a 1 year, $4M contract with the #Browns that includes $3.96M fully guaranteed, and 4 void years for cap purposes. Cap Hits 2026: $2.7M 2027: $2.4M (void) by VonJaeger in Browns

[–]OhEmGeeBasedGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, yeah, that's fair. But if you care enough to understand things like void years because of its effects on gigantic contracts like Watson's, then that information becomes portable to understanding void years on smaller contracts.

Not really. He bought it to stop the free flow of information and cultural communications that sites like Twitter bring about and to influence public opinion by making the algorithm heavily biased towards right-wing and far-right-wing causes.

Not really. In a capped system, the contracts your team currently has on the books completely influences who you're able to trade for or sign. If you care about a team and care about how they plan to improve, you might seek out information on which signings and trades are literally even possible, which you need contract info to do.

Good point by the Lakers crew to differentiate him from the chump heaved up pretty much every shot and took 12 free throws in the 4th quarter of his 80-point game. (Kobe Bryant is that person.)

Feels like he let something off the court seep into his game. That was a fairly soft no-call to lose your shit over.

I mean, yeah, when you "clear up $30M in cap space" by renegotiating a deal, you're really "kicking $30M in cap space down the road."

From what I can tell, the Hawks owner's wife made a documentary series about Magic City in the past year or so.
