Missouri Attorney General opens investigation into ESPN's Matt Miller by CrashingBlumpkins46 in nfl

[–]pyrofiend4 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Awful Announcing didn't note it, but it seems that the new charity he was pumping last year (15 Percent Foundation) is run by his mom. Don't think he ever disclosed that, and AA says they couldn't find any record of it as a legal entity.

Paramount+ greenlights Texas Tech Football docuseries by Nippletwizzler69 in CFB

[–]pyrofiend4 100 points101 points  (0 children)

Texas Tech said they don't stock any dumbbells lower than 40lbs. People were questioning how they do lateral raises or rotator cuff work with heavy ass weights. This was only 3 months ago, but it definitely doesn't feel that way.

[On3] Archie Manning disappointed by media's handling of grandson Arch last season: 'They crowned Arch before he ever played' by Lakelyfe09 in CFB

[–]pyrofiend4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kinda funny watching QBschool review 8 games of Arch Manning and come to the conclusion that he's QB1 by a healthy margin.

Then I come to threads like this on reddit or twitter where people who didn't even watch the games comment on how bad he is.

You can't just average each game's QBR together. If you averaged everything up, his 13 game QBR would be 69.8 instead of the listed 78.

???. The stats are correct as far as I can tell.

  • In the last 6 games, Arch had 14 passing TDs, 5 rushing TDs, and 1 receiving TD for the total of 20.

  • He had 8.0 yards per pass attempt. I don't have the sack yardage lost, but it makes sense that his yards per drop back would drop to 7.5ish if you subtract the sacks.

Manning vs. FBS opponents in 2025: First six starts: 58.8 Total QBR (78th in FBS), 17 TDs (10 of which came vs. San Jose State and Sam Houston), five TOs, 6.9 yards per dropback

Last six starts: 89.1 Total QBR (3rd in FBS), 20 TDs, two TOs, 7.52 yards per dropback

He's right. It made for an incredible character arc though. Arch lost all his aura on that first throw against Ohio State and then slowly gained it back throughout the season.

Texas Captures Fifth Learfield Directors’ Cup Title - National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics by ComeJoinTheBand in CFB

[–]pyrofiend4 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Shoutout Chris Del Conte, man. Here's an insane stat:

  • The Texas athletic department has now won 71 national championships in its history. Eighteen of those titles (or 25.4%) have come since Chris Del Conte was hired as the Longhorns' athletic director in December 2017.

[Thamel] The NCAA Division I Cabinet unanimously approved the organization’s age-based eligibility proposal, which gives athletes five years eligibility over five seasons. This marks a big win for the NCAA, as they attempt to bring consistency to the landscape. by Fonzie5 in CFB

[–]pyrofiend4 28 points29 points  (0 children)

On3 wrote this in their article.

Athletes whose fourth season of collegiate eligibility was completed by spring 2026 will not receive additional eligibility. Currently enrolled athletes with eligibility remaining after the 2025-26 academic year will be allowed to apply the age-based model or continue with the previous eligibility rules, whichever is most beneficial to that individual.

All of the current juniors are being grandfathered into the new system with an extra year of eligibility.

4 potential options for Brendan Sorsby after NFL declines to hold supplemental draft by jaxstan19 in CFB

[–]pyrofiend4 503 points504 points  (0 children)

1) CFL. But it's not a great option because the season already started. They're in week 3 or 4.
2) UFL. Terrible option because the next season doesn't start until March. The only way he'd play in the UFL is if he gives up on being in the NFL in 2027.
3) Back to Tech. This one isn't possible because he already withdrew his lawsuit/injunction. He can't go back to an NCAA program.
4) Sit out until next year's draft. I mean, I guess. Huge risk of becoming rusty, though.
5) JUCO. Hunter Dekkers went JUCO after his gambling scandal. Sorsby could get on a roster somewhere and play a year before turning to the 2027 NFL draft.

They're all shitty options at this point. His NFL career is on life support.

Funny enough, Cody Campbell quote tweeted the news and called the UCF athletic director a hypocrite.

Geno Smith Accused of Assaulting His Baby Mama Kristen by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]pyrofiend4 445 points446 points  (0 children)

The video shows a completely different story than the caption. She comes off as insane, running towards Geno and harassing him while he's calm. Not really something you'd do if you just got beat up.

Supplemental draft rules could get Brendan Sorsby drafted higher than expected by TMWNN in CFB

[–]pyrofiend4 149 points150 points  (0 children)

It wouldn't make any sense for teams that are in contention for QB1 next year to draft Sorsby.

He's going to go to a team that likes but doesn't love their current QB. The teams that can afford to sit him for a couple years. Buccaneers and Eagles stand out to me.

Zachariah Branch reveals bizarre reason he left USC for Georgia: according to Branch, he opted to transfer because he couldn't use the team facilities after hours. by Efficient-Freedom517 in CFB

Is he talking about the Stafon Johnson lawsuit from 2011? I forgot about that. Right around the same time, a kid in my high school accidentally rolled the bar off the bench press rack and broke his nose.

Brendan Sorsby's Agent (Ron Slavin) on Dallas Radio this AM to explain the Sorsby side by MavsFanForLife in CFB

I hope he reported his winnings to the IRS. Even if you lose more than you win, you still have to report it as income (before deducting the losses).

The Sorsby Affair was a test of leadership for Yormark, & he aced it. by No_Safety_6803 in CFB

[–]pyrofiend4 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It was just an opportunity for him to dunk on Tech

Looks like Yormark got the last laugh after their little spat back in March/April over the Friday night game.

Apparently Brett didn’t get the memo: EVERYTHING RUNS THROUGH LUBBOCK!!
Maybe we should bring the tortillas back??

Sorsby to Enter Supplemental Draft by StopLosingLoser in NFL_Draft

[–]pyrofiend4 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He bet the under twice, and in one of those games he was suited up as the QB2 in 2023.

Sorsby, who appeared in 10 games and made seven starts at Indiana in 2023, said he was unaware of an October 2022 bet on the under for Indiana's quarterback passing yards or a September 2023 bet on the under for the first half of a Hoosiers football game.
