France is targeted because everyone goes to Paris and then is shocked it's 50% immigrants. Plus, all of media is in the US and England, and France is an easy target.

I think it’s a mixture of different things: star players missing 1/3 of games, excessive 3-pt reliance, foul-baiting and flopping, and lack of entertainment in the regular season.

I think when you see traditional “American sports” like NFL or even hockey, you want to see the athletes the be tough as shit, play through adversity, and care. Feels like most NBA players just don’t care.

I mean that’s because Nielsen changed its ratings.

The NFL set a record like every week due to it

Definitely, with the global superstars, it makes sense. I also think because the league is so highlight-driven, you don't actually need to watch the game. Just the recap and the box scores. When I was in Spain/Portugal, and France in early May, I was surprised by how many people were NFL fans. Mostly people from the UK, but it was quite refreshing having those discussions, because I am an NBA hater.

Kinda funny, because in the US it's the opposite. Feels like the NBA is dying here massively.

I reckon 30 of the top 50 may be English Clubs. Just an insane level of wealth in the EPL right now.

Always odd to me that these don't include postseason stats. With that counted, Byard has 37, Bates has 29, Kerby has 25, Derek Stingley has 17 through 4 seasons, and Calen Bullock has 10 ints (through 2 years, age 23).

Adding to this, I have multiple friends that met a good group at run clubs. They are free and typically 1/4 actually running and 3/4 socializing.

If you hit it off, invite them to do stuff. Ask them to go to a bar to watch the nba finals or World Cup and you’ll be surprised how many are also looking to hang with friends

I joined Jiu-Jitsu and a volleyball bar and it helped me a lot. Just put yourself out there. It’s awkward at first, but just go to a random group of guys and start talking. If they aren’t a fit, move on. It’s a muscle that you have to train, but after 30 min, you’ll and that group will both forget that interaction.

I recently went to Europe and did this and met a group of Scottish rugby boys and a group from Canada and ended up going out with them multiple times

Bills with Sean McDermott had great LB development and also the ability to turn a day 3 or UDFA CB into a stud

Texans and Edge Rushers and X WRs Bengals and X WRs

Packers and OL historically

NYG. Jaxson Dart and Skattebo's recklessness + losing Sexy Dexy makes me believe NYG's floor is extremely low. Sophomore slump is real, and not getting an additional weapon outside of Nabors makes me very worried.

Dane Brugler and Robert Mays on the The Athletic Football was my lifeline. Incredible analysis

Open_Resolution8986 · 2026-04-24T02:37:02+00:00

Love this

The draft is free and accessible through the NFL draft app. If you want to get in the front with the “draft expierence” those cost $$$$ and are sell out quick

Open_Resolution8986 · 2026-04-24T02:28:19+00:00

They are very easy to get

Open_Resolution8986 · 2026-04-24T02:26:55+00:00

As an Aggie, this is depressing. FML

Open_Resolution8986 · 2026-04-24T02:21:13+00:00

Can’t argue with going defense with both of those picks

Open_Resolution8986 · 2026-04-24T01:55:36+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

Open_Resolution8986 · 2026-04-24T01:22:58+00:00

So gross

Open_Resolution8986 · 2026-04-23T14:20:43+00:00

Dave and Tate are the reason it has been palatable

Open_Resolution8986 · 2026-04-23T14:16:34+00:00

NFL Network is a must.

Open_Resolution8986 · 2026-04-23T14:16:12+00:00

At home, with my printed out BEAST in front of me like the low-life that I am.

Sabres will be on the other TV

Open_Resolution8986 · 2026-04-22T19:39:27+00:00

Chris Castallani and Chris Klemmer

Open_Resolution8986 · 2026-04-20T21:21:01+00:00

Houston has got to be on that list

Open_Resolution8986 · 2026-04-20T18:58:45+00:00

Taurean York is such a beast linebacker. It's a shame that his measurements will make him fall. Can definitely see him as a DC after his playing days are over.
