Australian Rules football grand final between the Sydney Swans and the Brisbane Lions today. I'll probably watch at least a little, if only for an excuse to eat pizza

Get some sweetness in your game

Walter Payton played in an era that averaged nearly 10 more offensive plays than the other three backs mentioned in this article.

Just loved watching this guy play football. Unreal player and man.

Totally out of left field, but I think Patrick Mahomes is a fine young man and has the talent and more importantly the strong mindset that it takes to someday be the GOAT.  I don't see how he puts up with his insufferable teammates tho especially Pfizer cuck boy Kelce.

Texas A&M just fired Jimbo Fisher...In his first coaching job as offensive coordinator for Samford he made 20k for the year back in 1991-1992...He will be paid 26K a day for the next 8 years not to coach Texas A&M...{#Eek}

Couldn't stand Sanders when he broke in back in the late 80's. It was the new age, showboating, etc. He wasn't the only one of course. Back in the day in athletic endeavors we were brought up with a certain level of sportsmanship which didn't allow for taunting or gloating etc. Now I don't feel any different probably. Celebrating is ok and sports are pretty emotional on all sides, but I do feel differently about Sanders. He has proven over his career to be the real thing. I admire him for the "it" he's been blessed with and has used effectively. Very happy for his success. He gets to coach a major college program with his own two sons on the team. What a dream. That area of the country is football crazy like many other areas. Looking forward to following.



I wasn't following him back then, but I am pretty impressed with the coaching/mentoring of his players...beyond the 3-0 start.

The talk of him kicking players out...he defended that on 60 minutes. While admitting many were not good enough to be on his team, he also offered something like, if I can scare you out with just my words, you don't belong here...and not everyone who heard that message was scared and left...some fought to stay.

Yes, for a coach grumbling about manners...he apparently is lousy at instilling discipline in his own team.
While I was impressed with CSUs defense...those cheap shots especially by Blackburn on Hunter, which put him out of the game for a few weeks and probably out of Heisman contention, were inexcusable. 
But what a comeback and game....I think it clocked in at just over 4 hours.

0-2. L

He criticized Sanders for not taking his hat and sunglasses of during interviews.

"I sat down with ESPN today. And I don't care if they hear it in Boulder. I told them, 'I took my hat off, and I took my glasses off.' And I said, 'When I talk to grown-ups, I take my hat and my glasses off.' That's what my mother taught me," Norvell said. "They're not going to like us, no matter what we say or do. It doesn't matter. So, let's go up there and play."

He brought players that wanted to play for him. He inherited a group that had little to no talent and he had no reason to keep the low performers. I see no reason to condemn him for his use of the portal to build his team around the three players that remained from last years Colorado team.  

Condemn is a little strong; I would say I question how this was done. For example, telling players to leave and then labeling them as quitters bothers me. Prime is about his brand and, yes, about winning. He has quickly turned the team around, as we saw yesterday against TCU. An impressive win.
 
Sorry, maybe chastised would be a better word. He did what he had to do and we will never see it happen like that again. I don't think their will ever be a need to do it again. X amount of those players didn't want to put in the work and left. Maybe they couldn't take orders from a man like Prime...We just don't know...I know this though, he cut out the cancer that lost eleven of twelve game last year and transplanted it with a group who all gave him 110% and my hats off to him.{#Meditate}

My initial thought on a prophylactic measure is for there to be a maximum number of portal transfers one college can bring in per year/season.

I take issue with folks trying to tear the man down… I certainly couldn’t argue with someone who’s had the success he’s had in sports and life. If you followed sanders since Jackson st, building player’s abilities and individual character has been central to his messaging.  
as for turning these amateurs into a business, that’s been evident for decades…mixed feelings but agree they should be able to monetize their own image …but much against  schools paying any athletes
