NFL 2026-27

This kind of got me thinkin' about sports busts and the colleges they went to.  What school has produced the largest collection of busts in all manner of sports? 

Ohio State has to be in the running, right?  Then there's LSU, of course...

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Herschel Walker...

The Lou Brock is in the top 5 or so...

Frank Robinson for Milt Pappas

Frank Robinson for Milt Pappas

Poor old Milt. He was a fine pitcher for the Cubs in the early 70’s. Amassed over 40 rWAR.

Ohio State?   That’s the best school for WR and RBs

However, QBs, not so much

[spidernat]

I think Vark is thinking more historically

[HalfSmokes]

Apparently the floor for NFL deaths with CTE is 25% (90% of those tested, but they only got a quarter of brains donated from recent deaths). I doubt it changes anything, but I’m shocked it’s that high (general population numbers are around zero)

Herschel Walker...

I forgot about Ricky Williams.

Walker and Williams were good after their trades. Watson has sucked even when he's been healthy. This is certainly gotta be in consideration for the worst trade in NFL history.

Gretzky to the Kings and the Hornets trading Kobe Bryant for Divac ...

I mean, I'm shocked its that low. I assumed the vast majority of NFL players would have CTE, to one extent or another.

Ryne Sandberg to the Cubs for aging Ivan DeJesus

Fergie Jenkins to the Cubs for two aging pitchers.

Gave the Cubs toe HOF players for nothing. 

Those were bad trades.

The Wilt trade to the Lakers was bad also.

[varoadking]

A real ticky-tac personal foul on Seattle there...

[imref]

Rough start for Darnold. They are saying a hip injury.

[Natsinpwc]

This is boring like the Super Bowl.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Did like the Dunkin Spice Girls commercial with their 6th member, Pumpkin.

[varoadking]

This is boring like the Super Bowl.

One team that everyone hates vs one that nobody cares about...

[imref]

Maye with an awful pass to end it.

[GataNats]

Great to see real football is back

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Maye with an awful pass to end it.

Maye had an atrocious 4th quarter. 3 picks to end drives. They were up 10-3 at the start of the 4th and he threw a jump ball to Doubs into double coverage when they were effectively driving. Pritchet  I think returns it 30yards to start the game tying drive. Then there's the midfield tip after the Doubs drop that leads to the go ahead score, before the last stupid play. How you try that when you control the clock, are moving, and already in tying FG range is beyond me. Bad play calling from Josh McDaniels, too. The tight ends weren't involved. Maybe Hollins only works v zone gaps but I think they just got tired of the short stuff they had all night

[imref]

Maye completed more passes to Seahawks than Darnold.

[HalfSmokes]

Drake Maybe is back. Patriots went really far on an easy schedule. The commanders did that the year before and then went 5-12

Didn't matter that Seattle was supposed to be a tough opponent. With their QB down and their penalties, the Seahawks tried to stop themselves. Was quite winnable for the Pats but for Drake's bad decisions. Frankly, I d on't think Daniels shot himself in the foot last year as much as being hurt so much the  Commies never got going. This  game was much more Maye's fault and josh McDaniels's play selection, along with nothing out of their two big FA receiver signings (Brown and Doubs).

[imref]

Darnold has a hip bruise, no fracture. Could be back by week 3.

[bluestreak]

AJ Brown has a High Ankle Sprain. Maybe he can read his books during his recovery...

[HalfSmokes]

Could they really only find a dozen fans to pretend to care about the Jonas brothers? This is just sad

[bluestreak]

Rams got smoked. Sean McVay tried to outsmart jet lag
