65 game requirement for awards is fine.
Awards should go to players that play in games.
But the Super max being tied to something media voters for (some incredibly biased) will always feel dumb

The 65 game requirement ran its course.
I think it’s time to remove it.
Anthony Edwards averaged 76 games through his first 5 seasons.
Then plays 61 last year and misses award eligibility by 4 games. Now 1 injury this year. With no ALL NBA selections two years in a row Ant is not eligible for a super max.

Can't believe I am engaging in pass game go brr but do QBs get hurt on run plays or pass plays? Is it important for the starting QB to play every game or to win every play?

a friend of mine asked me to imagine if desmond howard had even sent in $15 to abdul el-sayed's campaign ...
... they'd fire his black ass.
... they'd fire his black ass.
Last month, Kirk Herbstreit said he doesn't follow politics or pick sides.
Which was nonsense. Just last week, Herbstreit quietly headlined a fundraising dinner for Alabama's second-biggest PAC.
The next day, it sent $155,000 to Tommy Tuberville.

Pat McAfee wouldn’t last a day having the DMs and mentions of a local female sports reporter. TV or beat writer.
It’s been a fun October.. excited to get to Halloween. Here’s a couple fun screenshots from this month.
I don’t know if Karey from Derry is real or not but, the picture on the left is from a very real man in Ohio.
I’ve stayed away from my mentions and DM’s this month since but.. I’m sure if I went in there now, I’d find some wishes for and threats of death for me.
“Don’t read them.” They’re everywhere.
Annnd.. They still exist though right? I just don’t know the person is in Ohio then? That’s where I’m at now. So I do get a bit fucked up when a couple days after The New York Times releases a “WE ARE ALLOWED TO AND SHOULD HATE THIS GUY” piece, a University puts a video out from their own page, indicating “we think he’s a corny creep here.” It’s a weird time. The things that get said about what my daughter and son and wife deserve are all rather wild as well.
I haven’t talked to anybody about what the days were like leading up to Tennessee’s GameDay last year. There’s been some misreporting but in the ball park articles. Everybody in the “security” world was worried of a copycat incident potentially happening. GameDay was a few days out and we were the next huge gathering on a campus. The world, in front of the entire internet, just proved that we had gotten to a rather extreme place.
The FBI.. alongside, Disney security, Tennessee State Police, Knoxville PD, University Police, everybody in area, all had the very same goal to protect the shit out of the area. FBI snipers were sent down there, huge presence of police.. it was a surreal moment. The conversation about the death threats I had been receiving in life was definitely a huge topic. I don’t think it was the FBI that suggested the Bullet Proof Vest, but it was certainly an idea presented by one of the security groups. We had no idea what to expect. Nobody had been in that type of situation before. Everybody wanted the best for everybody. I never felt safer and never felt more appreciative of the people that were around me that morning including the students that came out and did WAY more than they could’ve ever imagined for my soul.
How’d we get here? I had to wrestle with that a bit. FBI’s sending snipers so me and the lads don’t get shot. That’s crazy. I don’t know if they teach how you’re supposed to handle these types of things in classes or something but, I was a bit rattled by the current reality of my World.
I think what I realized was, when I talked about the Algerian Olympic Gold Medal boxer, and then I was HEADLINE Quoted and Captioned by platforms with rather large influence over certain communities, they left out the massive empathy part of the conversation that I had about the entire subject. I was labeled and immediately targeted. Such is life I guess.. since then, every mistake, misstep or misquote relaunches A LOT of folks into a frenzy of me being the worst person on Earth who needs to be eliminated, and they gain more and more folks who want me unalived or as they actually say it “Kirked.”
I was created on the internet. I’ve been “cooked” and shit talked and criticized since I have memories. I am no where near perfect.. and there’s no way everybody is gonna agree with me but I had no idea that this is just what life would become.
I’m trying my best in real time but.. I am to talk about sports and care about the future of sports. I owe everything to sports. I’m grateful as hell to do what I do. I literally try to love every minute of the incredible opportunities I get to experience but.. it’s certainly all a much different life than I could’ve ever expected.
I try to give everything I have, all the time.. I am very sorry to those that despise me.
The video is how I opened The Tennessee show.. I put on a USA Sports Coat and celebrated Ball. I love sports because it’s unifying. That’s all I’m ever trying to be… actually.
& Connor.. I LOVE YOU BROTHER, I’m sorry I’ve brought you lads into all of this as well.

Coaches and players in NFC North couldn’t care less about the Bears giving up 2 firsts
No one's questioning whether Jeffery Simmons is a great player.
But if you're the Packers, Vikings, Lions: Do you more dread facing the All-Pro DT on the field, or do you more love that the Bears are surrendering two firsts (and 4th/5th swap) for a 29-year-old interior DL?

the level of racism to arab and muslim people have been comfortable with this election cycle is genuinely dispicable. how can you feel comfortable being this evil
Sen. @tedcruz (R-TX) says that if U.S. Sen. candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D-MI) is elected into the Senate and is placed in the Senate Intelligence Committee, "there is a very real risk that Americans will die as a result."

And if they didn’t extend him they wouldn’t have gotten as much in return. Basically paid for a higher pick. And the Bears paid a premium for not having to extend and pay a signing bonus to Simmons. Given where both teams are that seems like a win win
Titans will end up paying Simmons $25M for the 7 games this year. Had he not been extended that bill would have been around $8M.

I understand why these comps happen, but we need to separate the Ramsey/Mack/Parsons trades (in which the player didn't have an extension and needed a new deal) from the Sauce/Simmons trades (in which the acquiring team got a big cheap contract!)

thanks biz
@s_cowles @outsportsyou want to chop your cock off and be a woman, I simply do not care. If you’re a woman and want to grow a cock, by all means, have it. Go be whatever the fuck you want. I support your right to do whatever it is you want with your body. It’s none of my business. I don’t care. Why are you coming at me about this??? Do you understand how crazy you come off just messaging me about this random shit? Go do something productive.
