Keeping our enemies close: 2024


Recommended Posts

Denver will cut Wilson before his 2025 salary becomes guaranteed. They will designate him as one of their 2 permitted post-June 2 cuts so the dead money hit is split between 2024 and 2025. So Russ will be a free agent the first week of free agency in not quite a month from now.

Spread it all they want.

They're still fucked.

Depends on who they replace Stidham with. Payton is a good coach. I could see them taking Bo Nix in round 2 and getting good production from him.

Taking Nix yes.

Production...who knows.

 

He's not a top tiered QB so they have to do dilegence in scouting him.

I will respectfully disagree.  
 

We HAVE to stack up wins against our AFC North foes.  
 

🦗

Yes

The AFCN is the toughest division in the NFL.

To play the Chiefs in playoffs you have to get thru all our rivals in it.

Tough task.

Yeah the NHL has a cap. 
 

MLB’s description as the “national pastime”, was well before TV took over the driving force of viewing. It was, in reality, the only game in town. But the sport has, supposedly, been “dying” for 50 years. Flood and Messersmith were supposed to allow every rich owner to buy championships every year. And yet, more lower-budget teams have won WS titles since then than the Yankees, Dodgers, Atlanta and Mets combined. That’s a lot of “perfection” over the years. 


Again, that’s not to say that permitting unfettered spending is good for the sport—it isn’t. The Dodgers just spent an ungodly amount of money on two Japanese players, and did so without blinking an eye. But the Dodgers have also won 217 regular season games in two seasons…and haven’t made it past the divisional rounds. Money can’t buy me love, as the song goes. 
 

Maybe the NFL can keep the lid on the money volcano. Maybe it doesn’t matter. 
 

 

 

It's the chip and a chair thing.  Playoffs are just a tournament in a short time period.  Randomness will happen.  Teams that spend like the Dodgers are at the table year after year.  Sure, a low-budget time can find lighting in a bottle for a year or two until they have to pay the guys they developed and off to the big money teams they go and back to the drawing board goes the small market team.  It sucks. 

 

Hockey, basketball, and football have been around for 100 years.  Baseball translates well over radio, which gave it a leg up for sure.  Football and basketball are much better on TV.  Still, the mismanagement of baseball has hurt it greatly and the lack of a cap is one of those issues.  I still love baseball, but follow it so much less than I did due to the crummy shape the Reds are in, and generally have been for 20+ years.  There is some hope with the plethora of young talent, but one or two of those guys has to mature into a real game changer.  Young guys can look great and win the Rookie of the Year, and then a few seasons later be a platoon player.  Hi Jonathan India!
