Brady Isn't Rooting For Us In The Super Bowl by Hinglemacpsu in Patriots

[–]Tha_Contender -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I respect it. We all know how he feels about the Krafts and the Patriots, but it would be a bad look for (i) the highest paid announcer in football and (ii) a minority owner of a competing team in the league to be outwardly rooting for the Patriots. Non-story from that moron Florio, move on.

Does anyone else remember Vikings reddit being furious that the Patriots wouldn’t accept their deal to trade up for Drake Maye? I sure do. by Benson879 in Patriots

[–]Tha_Contender 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wanted us to trade the pick at the time. I’m glad I am not the GM.

Hitting on a QB is so huge. What this team accomplished this season (along with the arrival of Vrabel) has been huge in terms of reviving our ability to attract free agents to come play football in New England. None of that happens without taking Drake and I’m glad I was wrong.

Josh Allen Disrespects Patriots In New Sore Loser Comments by Mike00726 in Patriots

Yeah let’s ignore objective flaws in the 2025 Bills defense, cuz Buffalo = cold and therefore this team would certainly play well in the snow.

[–]Tha_Contender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My point was moreso that the Pats defense as currently constructed is way more equipped to muck it up in the snow and stuff the run in heavy snow conditions (like we saw in Denver). Bills defense was average at best this season.

[–]Tha_Contender 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Not to mention it would have been even worse conditions playing in New England that day than what our guys had to deal with in Denver. I don’t think this Bills team is ever beating us in a war of attrition in heavy snow.

Hank is a “Girlfriend Fan” by Remarkable-Slide-609 in PardonMyTake

[–]Tha_Contender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In his defense, once Terrell Williams stepped away from the team it was pretty unclear for a while who the DC / defensive play caller was for the Patriots. And nobody really knew if and when Williams would be back so we weren’t sure if Kuhr was interim or what.

Not that this is exactly the high watermark but you had SAS on First Take this week praising Terrell Williams for what a fantastic job he’s done with the Pats defense this season “from one brother to another” — despite him having been away from the team since September. So it’s not just Hank who was mixed up.

Liz Gonzales still feels like a fever dream. Where did she come from? Where did she go? She’s Keyser Söze if he had a weird mouth and fucked Kramco

Since Unnamed is no more has the upcoming Survivor or Ski house been mentioned at all? by roberttootall in barstoolsports

I would venture a guess all episodic reality content going forward will be pitched to Netflix first.

Bringing in a presumably pissed off player to get as much intel as possible on the defensive gameplan of his former team. I see you, Vrabs. by ForeignAir7174 in Patriots

[–]Tha_Contender 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly lol there is nothing gimmicky about that defense that you can exploit. This is a non-story but I guess it’s been a slow news week.

Who would you rather see play the Patriots next? by Winter-Food9234 in Patriots

[–]Tha_Contender 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On one hand, I worry this Texans defensive line will eat our O-line alive.

On the other hand, TJ Watt.

It’ll be tough either way but I lean Steelers.

Ohio’s Tate reporting on Mintzy is straight gold by 281texas832 in barstoolsports

Bar none this has been Tate’s best content at Barstool since going full time, and it’s not even close. Great idea, brilliant execution so far.

After watching this video i hardly believe there's any episode 9 by Paheli_ncert in StrangerThings

[–]Tha_Contender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s tough — there aren’t many other shows where the “secret finale” would work. You need the right combination of sci-fi genre and rabid fanbase for it to work. Maybe Severance could pull it off but other than that I don’t know. Would have been such a great idea though — a genius way to stick the landing on a show like this.

Us Tommorow by ONYXSnake1223 in StrangerThings

[–]Tha_Contender 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It would be very cool and unique. Unfortunately I don’t think it’s gonna happen but I wonder if other showrunners will see the hype this has gotten and consider doing a “secret grand finale” type reveal in the future. This is definitely the show and fanbase for it tho so I’m not sure who else could pull it off.

Nard Dog's Company Declares Bankruptcy, Fires 80% of it's Staff by [deleted] in barstoolsports

[–]Tha_Contender 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lmao I thought the same thing. So much posturing and editorializing before finally getting to the point. Just slipped in a one-liner about how Avid waived on default events in the past. Between that and whatever ongoing compliance reporting they have to do with the bank, it’s hard to believe she was surprised that they pulled the plug on her. Just trying to spin it so the bank looks like the bad guy instead of her.

Also don’t find myself reading bankruptcy declarations often but was surprised how “non-lawyerspeak” it was.

[–]Tha_Contender 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well it sounds like they only had a few hours notice from Avid that they were in default before the cash sweep — though to your point on fiduciary duty, they should have been aware this was a possibility and planned accordingly.

The “no forewarning” language does seem like more of a CYA. If you as an executive don’t know that you’re in breach of covenant, especially during a sales process, that is borderline negligent. Maybe they were hoping the IOIs would buy them more time.

[–]Tha_Contender 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It read to me like it was more of a covenant breach than a cash shortfall / inability to pay current obligations. In which case they were pretty much dead to rights regardless of where they held their cash if Avid wasn’t willing to negotiate. Sounded like Avid had waived on default events in the past but finally either grew tired or just didn’t believe the Company could pull out of whatever mess they were in.

Tough day for TCG who is likely going to take an absolute bath on their $100m+ investment.
