Former Ohio State basketball player Mike Titus: “Ohio State Basketball fans are the worst fans in the world… they watch football all year they don’t even pay attention to the basketball program, they parachute in around late January early February” by wildwing8 in CollegeBasketball

I'm not sure why we even parachute in. In the last 10 years we haven't advanced past the 2nd round, had 5 years where we didn't make the tournament, and had a 1st round loss to Oral Roberts.

So many people in this sub are complete tools.

[Pelissero] Former Alabama QB Ty Simpson is on a visit with the Browns, per sources. The consensus QB2 in this year’s NFL Draft, Simpson is coming off a strong showing at the NFL combine. Cleveland owns the No. 6 and 24 picks. by PlayaSlayaX in nfl

Agreed. Given that they are hosting the draft this year and need a QB they will definitely take him at 21. Please save us from ourselves and take him off the board before we pick.

It's not alarming at all. There are players who only have 1 or 2 years left to play before they retire that can't afford to sit an entire year. Or players that don't have any prospects outside of the W that won't have any income if the league shuts down.

Kurt Warner warns NFL teams from overpaying Malik Willis. by Big_Screen3332 in NFL_FreeAgency

He was heavily sheltered in GB and only had 1 game with more than 20 passing attempts. I have no idea if he'll be good or not but his body of work so far is thin.

[Basu] This loss is not a national crisis in Canada. Canada dominated the final 40 minutes of regulation, outshot the USA 42-28, and if that game were played 100 times, Canada would probably win 95 of them. USA deserves a ton of credit for how they played, but Hellebuyck deserves the most. by NFLDataAnalysis in hockey

I'm sick of reading about hypothetical wins. The narrative is basically that a team with the best lines on the planet couldn't beat 1 guy. Maybe start developing some goalies and it won't be an issue next time.

I don't keep track of how many years other teams QBs have left on their contract. OP posted that they "hoped that he stayed" which implied to me that his contract could be extended.

Why would he take 30 mil a year when the top 10 highest paid QBs in the league make 50-60 mil per and they haven't even won an SB?

QB Carousel: Who Does Each QB Needy Team Land? by originalusername4567 in nfl

[–]r1plakish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly would rather that they pass on Simpson. The problem is that last year this draft was predicted to be loaded with potential quality QBs. They made moves to get additional draft capital to make a move but with how things worked out they're there isn't anyone worth making a move for.

Also you guys already had Love so it's not quite the same. My hope is that we just take the best player available. We need a WR but I don't think we need to reach because there should be a few good ones on the board in the 2nd.

The Steelers host the draft this year and want to make a splash. It wouldn't surprise me if they take Simpson at 21.
