Is $40 million a number you've seen reported or are you just guesstimating? Just curious.

Reported on Chicago radio. It was his contractual buyout.

I've taken pictures of those cars before and sent them to the sheriffs office. Fuck those people

I'm really expecting the Dline to be better than we anticipated earlier on. I think they are starting to prove some of it in practice now too

Reds are 12th in batting average in August. 25th in wRC+22nd in runs28th in ISO

Slapping singles does not work.

If he plays like a first rounder, this Defense will be better than last year.

The interior DL will tell the story.

You can have all the perimeter talent you want, but at the end of the day the IDL are the tone setters. You lost two draft picks in the middle, 1 of them a 1st rounder.

That is no easy task to replace. If KJ is as good as advertised, you'll still need to see steady play across the rest of the front before the defense can be even near as good as last season.

I never saw him play live. I mean... he won his second Heisman before I was even born. So this question is for you older guys who lived through those days. But I remember when Tebow won it in about 2008, as a sophomore, and the next couple of years, people (doofuses on TV) said that he shouldn't win another. Not because he didn't deserve it, but because he already won one. So I'm not trying to start a discussion over whether people should be eligible to win a second Heisman, but just to make the point that some voters possibly wouldn't vote for a guy to win a second.
That said, how much of an issue was it when Archie was on his way to winning his second? Statistically, it wasn't his best season. He had fewer yards (1,357) than in 1973 (1,428) and 1974 (1,620), despite more carries (225 in 1973, 236 in 1974, and 245 in 1975). And it's not like he lit up the world in touchdowns, but I know Pete Johnson was there to score touchdowns.
And I'm not trying to suggest there was or should be some outrage about this. But was there any outrage or controversy in 1975?

He must cost more than $40 million, attorney’s fees, and a public apology.
