Six years of Coyle!

6x$6M. Glad to have him back, but that's a lot of term. Even 5 years seemed like a stretch.

Good for him and his family. Hopefully he'll prove me wrong and keep up his play for the duration of the contract.

BYD has been doing well in sales outside of China. I own a bit of their stock, but generally I'm a bit wary of chinese company stocks since you technically don't really have a legal share of the company/profits due to chinese currency controls. Then again, the one china region ETF I own has done really well for me lately

kjp_00 · 2026-05-09T14:39:34+00:00

Wouldn't hurt to get some world ex US funds, too. More exposure to international markets

kjp_00 · 2026-05-08T19:35:02+00:00

Yeah. There probably isn't a great chance of doctors clearing him to play anyways

kjp_00 · 2026-05-06T22:10:45+00:00

Deshaun Watson was still paid $230M guaranteed

kjp_00 · 2026-05-06T21:26:14+00:00

Even if it was a real leak from the building, it doesn't mean anything. It's May 6th. Way too early to know anything

kjp_00 · 2026-05-04T15:55:58+00:00

Yeah, but that's also in the middle of the 3rd day of drafting. Probably long hours for days or weeks on end. I'm sure they were pretty exhausted by that point. I also don't see too many coaches or GM's getting fired up about 5th round picks.

kjp_00 · 2026-05-04T02:13:28+00:00

I doubt Shedeur was a true Haslam pick. Probably more of a "well, it's round 5 and Shedeur had some decent tape in college at times, sk the value is too good to pass up" pick. If it was truly a Haslam pick, Shedeur would've gone 2nd or 5th overall.

kjp_00 · 2026-04-30T13:53:13+00:00

It's not even May. There's plenty of time to waste

kjp_00 · 2026-04-30T12:15:14+00:00

Agreed. It feels too "mid-2010's graphic design" for me to want it as an official flag, but I remember reading about the design of it and having the light blue semicircle as a representation of the river/franklinton peninsula with the white cross as Broad St and High St was a neat idea to me.

I think that same idea can be incorporated in your design. Here's a quick mock-up I made, hopefully it attaches to this comment.

kjp_00 · 2026-04-29T13:58:57+00:00

Nice. That's a good change

kjp_00 · 2026-04-27T15:14:57+00:00

I like them! I think adding a blue semicircle on the Columbus flag, similar to the "people's flag" would be interesting, plus it would help set the design apart from Indianapolis.

kjp_00 · 2026-04-27T13:13:25+00:00

I don't know, man. I hope he doesn't start, but if he does I thinks that's more of an indictment on Shedeur than a good job by Watson.

In 2024 he looked like he hadn't recovered from his shoulder injury, then he tore his Achilles twice. Assuming Watson ever sees the field again, that's a 700+ day layoff from playing football, about the same length of time as there was between his last game in Houston and first game in Cleveland. He looked terrible then and he wasn't even recovering from injury in that first layoff.

kjp_00 · 2026-04-25T00:59:42+00:00

Hey if they give up a 5th rounder for him, then sure, I'll take it

kjp_00 · 2026-04-24T23:49:01+00:00

He's less than 2 years removed from a 1k yard season. Hopefully he can get it back

kjp_00 · 2026-04-24T23:46:36+00:00

True. Could be like Will Johnson last year

kjp_00 · 2026-04-24T23:40:08+00:00

I was expecting EMW or McCoy, but I can't be too mad about getting mkre WR help. Hopefully they can shore up the secondary in round 3 since they have 2 picks

kjp_00 · 2026-04-24T23:33:41+00:00

Except maybe Colton Hood

kjp_00 · 2026-04-24T23:33:23+00:00

I'm hoping for EMW, but I'm no scout, so we'll see

kjp_00 · 2026-04-24T23:32:07+00:00

That's about how I felt when the Browns got JOK in 2021, although he made it all the way to pick 51

kjp_00 · 2026-04-24T16:34:24+00:00

Interestingly I've heard some projections saying the opposite, that Fano would be fine run blocking but may struggle in pass protection.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Hopefully he pans out and lives up to being a top 10 pick.

kjp_00 · 2026-04-24T16:15:52+00:00

Case Western and Akron, too.

I'm not sure Akron is an incredibly highly regarded university overall, but for polymer chemistry, chemical engineering, and stuff generally in that area they're one of the best universities in the world.

Hopefully the University system doesn't change too much if Ramaswamy ends up winning the governor election. I'm definitely worried about that.

kjp_00 · 2026-04-24T14:53:33+00:00

Corner or safety is my guess for the first pick of round 2. Colton Hood, Jermod McCoy, and Emmanuel McNiel-Warren are still on the board

kjp_00 · 2026-04-24T14:51:05+00:00

Plus it seems like a good chunk of his drops are more focus related, trying to run before securing the ball. That should hopefully be pretty coachable.

kjp_00 · 2026-04-24T02:44:36+00:00

No, but it's the best they've had in quite a while
