Hershey actually has had to begin calling some products "chocolaty" instead of chocolate because they have transitioned to plant oils and reduced chocolate levels in several products. There are several leading American chocolate brands that are now in that pickle.

2027 is an issue if Sayin doesn’t move on. Great college qb, questionable for the pros. TSC will be ready by then and we won’t want to risk losing him. It will be an interesting competition.

I think the concerns on Sayin are overblown after 2 tough performances against the best teams. He’s not TSC, but his velocity in the spring game was good. It’s mostly him throwing over the middle consistently and taking more chances in tight windows, which is normal growth needed for a young QB.

Unless he regresses badly, no one will push him out the door after ‘26.

Watched the last half of 76ers-Celtics... and now feel a bit better about the Cavs games
Celtics literally bulled directly into their defenders who had feet planted.. then pushed off with the forearm to gain space.. no calls
same thing Toronto is doing to Cavs and same no calls.. guess it's playoff time

Embid is beat to shit.. would not be surprised if he does not make it thru the next round.. even with the flopping.. it was a war down low
He's a major load.. huge dude who can shoot.. Cavs would have no answer for him.. too strong..

Don’t worry, they won’t have an answer for Brunson either, and that’s if they even make it past tonight.

Is he seriously hurt?

He seemed a bit banged up after maxey fell into his knee but was it serious enough to carry over to the next series?

It will carry over, he will play but by the end of the game he couldn’t even jog. Between the multiple shots to the same knee and the effects of the appendectomy he had lass than a month ago, it’s unlikely he’ll play all the games, and even if he does, he won’t be his dominant self. There’s no way they can run their offense through him like they want to IMO

I don’t fully agree.

I do think that he’s been given a lot more leeway than most, in that regard you’re spot on. Particularly early in his career when he went from the NFL to the SEC to USC.

But he got left on the tarmac at USC, a verb for being fired immediately was created because of what Haden did to him. He did not emerge from that whole incident “sparkly clean” imo.

Then he became an OC, did well at that position (helping bama win the conference 3x and a national title once while completely updating Saban’s offensive philosophy), coached at FAU (where he was successful), and then he had success at Ole Miss given their history and expectations.

He did not “fail upwards” from Bama onwards (though he did not leave graciously at any of those stops besides FAU), but he moved up the ladder through on field success despite some (alleged) off field shenanigans that only seemed to come out from Tuscaloser and Oxfart after he left those Hell holes. Maybe those accusations are true but the fans were willing to overlook them because he was producing results on the field.

None of that guarantees that he will succeed in BR. And I wouldn’t be surprised that if he does fail here someone else will give him an opportunity because as you mentioned people just seem to keep giving him chances throughout his career, whether warranted or not.

This is why recruiting the best QB possible this next recruiting cycle is vital.

That said, I fully expect Sayin to jump to the NFL and for TSC to take the reins...the next QB class is very thin. Sayin is basically a Drew Brees clone.

Don't remember any age limitations beyond the 18 year olds competing in HS. Being held back for whatever reason stunted several kids at my HS. And, there's a select few helicopter parents that hold back their kids, to allow them to physically develop. My daughter was on the cusp, and Board member asked me, are you going to feel better putting Haley on a plane for college at 17, or at 18. Game over, and we started her in K a year after (had her in Montessori K for that year). Anyway, first thought was to the few, but maybe significant group of youngsters that went into the military straight from HS, and came out with 4 years of eligibility, and college money from the military. Guess they would not be able to compete?
