Should semipro/college players be paid, or allowed to sell their stuff? (NIL and Revenue Sharing)

The SEC, or at least Georgia, is threatening to take their ball and go home. They seem more than willing to break away and play their own game. Smart’s :slappy: comments about the SEC title game being for the national championship (second :slappy:) aside, it’s a giant gamble to return to a regional sport (talk about wanting to go back to the good old days). I don’t think they quite realize that yes, they have their rabid fans of course, but the only reason they make the money they do is as many people tune in rooting against them as do to root for them. They need both to keep the kind of cash flow they seem to take for granted.

Isolationism

It's just as wrong headed in CFB as it is in the real world.

Sounds great when you are all pissy about something but once you understand the real cost.....maybe not the best idea.

PGA Tour (Official Thread)

Point taken. Philly is where the 'fans' booed Santa Claus? Still, golf is a gentleperson sport. Only sport in the world where one calls a violation on themselves. Have attended more than several pro tournaments, and prefer to sit around the drive landing area, to watch the second shot, rather than crowding around tee box. Heck, when playing, and standing 10 feet from golfer teeing off, still lose the ball in the sky, so what's the big deal...probably best place is up against the ropes with clear vision of the putting green.

Cincinnati Bengals (Same Ole Bengals)

Joe Burrow identifies key advantage with one of the few things the Cincinnati Bengals did not change about their roster​

Cincinnati may’ve started 2-0 for the first time in the Burrow era last season, but there’s still another level the unit can reach offensively in the first few weeks of the schedule.

Burrow believes having an o-line that has already worked together, at a high level nonetheless, can lead to better results out the gate.

“It’s so beneficial at the beginning of the season when you have the reps of communication that we’ve had with those guys,” Burrow said during his press conference last week. “O-line is all about communicating, knowing where your help is, playing off of each other, and when you have five returning starters, number one that have done that, number two that have all the talent to go and make it happen. That’s a great feeling for me. There’s no question that we have to be better in the first couple of games at those positions, and the last half of last year they were unbelievable, and we just have to carry that into first couple weeks of this year and beyond.”

The chemistry is established, and the level of ability is proven. Fairchild and Mims are only growing into their best days, while Brown, Karras, and Risner aren’t showing signs of slowing down just yet. They best not start showing signs during the opening weeks of the upcoming season.
