No win situation here. No chance the Packers were going to make Jaire the highest paid CB in the league. The restructured deal was about as good an offer as he was going to get. When healthy, there is no question he is one of the best, and definitely the best DB on the roster. No one was interested in a pre draft trade, and for what he will want in pay, I can't see another team picking him up. IF he does get picked up, it will likely be a deal less than what he would have made in Green Bay. https://www.nfl.com/news/jaire-alexander-packers-release-cornerback

Just padding the crazy stat list at this point. 😂

Anyone think TB will let him wear number 12? 😄 https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/44442475/2025-nfl-free-agency-grades-quarterback-aaron-rodgers-pittsburgh-steelers-signing

So I was too generous saying 5 years then.

This 25 game stretch was from November 2nd through December 26th, 1983. Most players don't get 79 points in a season.

Yeah, not a great intro video....Would have been much better showing an image of what Bloomington looked like in the early days of the State from the view of what the bison would see, coming out of the woods while traveling through different time periods on its way to the packed stadium. Finish with the camera turning to face the bison.

It’s been a pleasant surprise so far this season, but like so many other Cubs fans know…..we still feel like the bottom will fall out.

I figure I would jinx them if I started a new topic.....but holy shit folks!!!!!

Over a year ago, I made the 5 year claim too. So there are 4 years left. I can see some things that accelerate the ending of it. No controls over agents are salaries......it's like Captain Edward Smith saying full steam ahead after hitting the iceberg.

Pretty much par for the course though with the current path college football is on.

No consequences for kids doing it. At the end of the day it's hard to prove. One thing to keep in mind is that the IHSAA expects self reporting when school representatives become aware of an issue. The IHSAA simply does not have the resources to investigate much at all. What tends to happen from what I have seen is that kids and/or parents will slip up while trying to transfer. I know a few kids and the parents from years ago that were asked why they want to transfer, and they say "to play football".....or whatever sport. The message from the IHSAA is clear to schools, once that happens, the process ends. yes, I am aware there are loopholes to get around that...and that does happen too. But with something like 3,000-4,000 athletic transfers filed with the IHSAA, like I said they just do not have the time or resources to really investigate unless something is glaringly obvious.

NFL owners draft a proposal to be heard at the Spring meetings to allow players to compete in Flag Football in the 2028 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Why not? Sure injuries are always an issue, but it's a great look for the league to allow them to. https://www.nfl.com/news/owners-resolution-nfl-players-participate-flag-football-olympics

This is my favorite Robin Williams bit of all that he has done. It does make you wonder how the game of golf came to be. Warning: Language is NSFW https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1HFNAV12fp/?mibextid=D5vuiz
