Dear Euro-soccer stans:. Here's just a rough data point to help establish that "Americans are faster than Europeans" isn't a myth. Top-100 100M dash runners (all-time):.USA: 41.Europe: 10. So yes, Tyreek Hill or AB, due to speed and footwork, might have been dominant in soccer.

I'm not "late to the party" on this, because I'm an actual IP attorney (not in entertainment) and y'all know I've been beating this drum for five years. People really need to wake up to the reality that all the NIL attorneys/agents have skin in the game to stop revenue sharing.

Calling revenue sharing / roster value, rather than pretending it was about "NIL endorsements," allows teams to actually start addressing the issue for what it is, with the problems it brings. As with every pro sport, part of that issue is salary caps and fair salary pooling.

When the Nico Iamaleava story broke, the attorneys associated with the collectives involved were very quick to point out that their contacts said they were in no way conditioned on enrollment. That was, as was true with every NIL deal, all a complete fiction as to the market.

This isn't hard to understand. "NIL" means "name-image-likeness." It's been a "false market" for the last 5 years because "NIL" was contractually used as an end-around to provide payment for "roster value" in that market with nothing to do with the actual NIL/endorsement market.

There are 9 returning QBs who have a top-10 finish in one of yards/game, yards/attempt, or QB rating. Only 4 made CFB 26's top-20: .Garrett Nussmeier (LSU).John Mateer (Oklahoma - transfer).DJ Lagway.Darian Mensah (Duke - transfer). The 5 who didn't:.Josh Hoover (TCU).

Also, Jordan Anthony at Arkansas runs a sub-10s 100M dash. He's absurdly fast to the point where scaling all these that close to him is plain silly. This really feels like the devs trying to artificially make certain Ds good/fast, rather than respecting indiv player ratings.

I had a couple Alabama friends reach out and point out:.- King Mack is fast as a 10.64 100M guy.- But Alabama had two DBs (Domani Jackson - 10.25, Jaylen Mbakwe - 10.46) faster than him not on this list.- Branch is a 10.33 100M guy. Point being, Mack is a 90s rating fast, but for.

I did a quick search and Mack played a bit for Alabama in their loss to Tennessee due to injuries. Not trying to single him out, but #5 in this clip does not look like the faster player on the field to me.

Having two players (Mack and Law) that transferred from Alabama because they weren't going to play, one of them being a strong safety, as top-10 players nationally in speed is. something. Not having Zachariah Branch ahead of them. that feels downright criminal.

If ESPN not understanding the college product were a tweet.

For added measure, here is the cover page of the motion. Virtually the only time you see a "Joint Motion for Dismissal" (meaning both sides are asking for it) "with prejudice" (meaning the plaintiff is agreeing never to sue again) is when the parties settled.

I'll give a bit more explanation on the law for people still confused. Generally speaking, parties can't just end a suit on their own even if they all want to (e.g., if they settled out of court) - the judge owns the case, and you must request the judge dismiss the case if you.

The phrase of dismissal "with prejudice and upon the merits of the Plaintiff’s complaint against the Defendant, with each party to bear his or its own attorney’s fees" is legalese that just means the judge has agreed to their request to end the case and to never bring suit on.

To be clear, I haven't read the briefings. But a set of things to know:.1) By all accounts the ruling was responsive to both sides jointly requesting dismissal - this wasn't the judge truly "ruling" on anything. 2) Several reports have noted the order saying both sides bear their.

Speaking as a lawyer: clearly lots of confusion on the Jake Retzlaff BYU civil case today. With both sides filing a motion for dismissal with prejudice, that almost always means that there was an out of court settlement, which will not be public. This case wasn't "dropped.".

Who will be the most overrated college football team from where they're ranked preseason rankings to where they're ranked in the final?. Who will be the most underrated?

Me looking at both those stats
