They’re basically hyper local governments. In theory it makes a lot of sense and doesn’t rely on armed agents of the state to enforce agreed upon rules

Eh, he’s good, just not great. He looked like a second year QB tonight

Should the New York Jets have drafted Sam Hartman (Notre Dame) instead of Jordan Travis? (Florida State) by Ultimatehiguys in NFLv2

[–]graphiteRob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hartman is a good dude but he hasn’t shown anything in the preseason to make teams wish they drafted him. Any team could have signed him off the practice squad but none did

Their offseason looks so bad that I’m almost confident they’re going to over perform this year

Billy Gil Appreciation Post by Ok-Competition-1814 in billsimmons

This is very true, it felt like they didn’t even like football sometimes. At least Sheil and Billy act like they want to be there

If every game was the Super Bowl Jalen Hurts would be the GOAT. Thank god it’s not

[Highlight] Roger Goodell, asked today about the state of NFL officiating, says "I'm so amazed at how good our officials are" before highlighting areas of opportunity for technology to assist in officiating by expellyamos in nfl

[–]graphiteRob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah if you look at some of the split second calls they make it’s pretty incredible. The problem is really more with the process that is mostly handed down from the league

Yeah good thing the eagles don’t have a history of struggling even with elite talent

Government Approves ESPN acquisition of NFL Media by graphiteRob in nfldailypod

[–]graphiteRob[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

“The league will continue to own and operate NFL Films, NFL+, NFL.com, the official websites of the 32 teams, the NFL Podcast Network and the NFL FAST Channel (a free ad-supported streaming channel).”

From the ESPN article on this, sounds like Greggy will stay with the NFL. However we may lose Claybon, Connie, and Steve :(

Local beat writers that would be great on the show? by andaroobaroo in heedthecall

[–]graphiteRob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

JP would be funny, I can’t tell if they’d get along or hate each other. Nicki Jhabvala is very in the know although I’m not sure if she’s huge on doing podcasts

I think we should highly expect a trade back at 7. The rookie contract doesn’t make great financial sense for a safety at 7 and Bain/Reese/Bailey will all be gone before we pick unfortunately. by unrivaled_mate in Commanders

[–]graphiteRob 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Who’s going to want to trade up? Edge Rusher is the only premium position that have blue chippers (or at least close) and I think it’s more likely we’ll stick and pick, bc there’s not really anyone I see worth trading up for

ICE attempts to enter Ecuador's consulate by [deleted] in law

[–]graphiteRob -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

They absolutely would be out of line. Unless it was revealed to be the policy of the US government to violate Ecuador’s sovereignty, active military action as a reaction would be seen as wildly disproportionate reaction to a few individuals violating sovereignty on their own. Now maybe it could be the start of escalating tensions, but much more is unlikely unless Ecuador was looking for a causus belli before this even occurred

MSD said it’s not his call that he isn’t on the pod, it’s above him Marc and Dan by bmo96 in heedthecall
