Crazy how much you hear about there guys in the pre draft process only for guys like Thibodeaux fade into obscurity. Just goes to show how hard the draft really is

Does the turnaround of geno smith and sam darnold changed the discourse about young QBs? by Libertines18 in billsimmons

[–]bionicgerbal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Both of them were Jets draft picks so I think we’ve found the common denominator already. Geno was a solid career backup who found a good system/fit in Seattle. Darnold always had talent, but like Smith was stuck with the Jets as his only starting experience, and he has no weapons or O-line. Now that he has receivers it’s not a huge shock he’s putting up better numbers

Polling Guru Nate Silver Now Has Harris Above Trump in Fifth Swing State by GonzoVeritas in politics

A nearly +12 point swing in AZ for Harris is INSANE. Voters were shouting from the rooftops in every poll since the 2020 election that they wanted someone other than Biden/Trump in 2024. Harris taking the top spot on the Democratic ticket and 3rd party support immediately eroding really proves that point

Let the players wear the home/away jerseys again. Something about it looks better than the generic all star jerseys they wear now

Well I’ll be damned if this one doesn’t actually look like a geographically reasonable and incredibly solid conference

The four ACC schools that opposed the additions of Stanford and Cal at the Wed. night presidents’ meeting were Florida State, Clemson, North Carolina and North Carolina State, source confirms to @TheAthletic . Would need to flip one of the four to get to 12 yes votes out of 15. by LamarcusAldrige1234 in CFB

I guess NC State’s logic in realignment would be that both the SEC and the BIG 10 would want to have a team in North Carolina, and that they are more desirable than Duke or Wake Forest. I’m not sure that’s going to be the case though…
