Shedeur Sanders was a top-70 overall recruit whose offers included Alabama, Georgia, Florida State, Oregon, and Michigan, and Travis Hunter was the No. 1 overall player in his class and rabidly pursued by every blueblood… and people are surprised they’re good.

Damar Hamlin was a 4-star recruit from Pittsburgh. EVERY team in America wanted him — Ohio St, ND, PSU, Clem, Mich, Okl, etc etc. He stayed home, signed with Pitt — he said he wanted locals to be proud of Pittsburgh. This is the moment his dream came true.

Staying up all night during a sleepover barreling through 5 seasons of a dynasty is perhaps my fondest childhood memory.
The week between Christmas and New Year’s 2003, I believe I played 200 games of NCAA 2004 with my buddy and his younger brother.

Someday, scientists will study Terry Fontenot. He turned down a free 2025 R4 pick to pay Penix a less-expensive slot price. What did he think? That the Bears were moving up for a quarterback seven picks after taking Caleb Williams?! 😂😂.
The #Bears were open to trading a future 4th to the #Falcons to move from 9 to 8 to secure Rome Odunze. Seems like Atlanta wasn't interested. The Bears still got Odunze. But this feels noteworthy after Atlanta lost a future 5th this week for tampering.

It’s a “Bible” when Belichick writes it, it’s a “manifesto” when Stallions does.
Update: Belichick has agreed to become the next UNC coach. Belichick handed the school a 400 page “organizational bible” with structure, payment plans, staffing choices etc. decisions on whether to commit with UNC. He is expected to know their decision within 24 hours.

Kevin O’Connell is a career 19-8. Last year, the computers called the Vikings a fluke. This year, the Vikes have overcome a biblical plague of injuries to remain in the race. It’s becoming more clear that *KOC* is the outlier. At 38, he is becoming one of the league’s best HCs.

Gonna wake up tomorrow, see that the Vikes got JJ McCarthy/Dallas Turner while keeping their 2025 R1, and still not believe it. What a stroke of luck — and what an epic job of reading the room by Kwesi and crew — for a franchise that needed a big night. Boy did they get it.

Bro that aint the question. The question is:. If ur GM of the Vikings… wut would u prefer 2025-2028?🧐. JJ McCarthy + $45-50m in yearly cap (Trey Smith + DJ Reed + Milton Williams) + draft comp received from Sam departure (2025 R2 in tag-and-trade? or 2026 R3c). or. Sam Darnold.
If you were the GM of the Vikings… Who would you want as your QB for 2025 🧐
