    2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments - NCAA: no wins taken away, no postseason ban

    This is kind of an “unknown” at this point….to date, the Big 10 hasn’t really given a shit about TV contracts and the $$$ coming in from football, like the SEC is hyper-focused on. The Big 10, through its AAU collaboration (research institutions….not the AAU for HS athletes) has generated so...

    OL Carson Hinzman (National Champion)

    Guy will always be a legend to me. Mixed reviews about his character out of the WHAC…..some praise him for his truthfulness in lead up to Mizzou debacle. Others say his candidness changed how the coaching staff approached big games… Bottom line…..dude is a Center. Those guys are a different...

    2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments - NCAA: no wins taken away, no postseason ban

    Easy to shit on UF but they have really pulled away as the premier state University in Florida. That, coming from an FSU graduate. I think UF will end up rejecting Ono bc of the Board of Governors. They know…..they didn’t at first, but it became abundantly clear. He’s not the guy in that...

    Cleveland Guardians (2025 Season Thread)

    Hated the Naylor trade……team culture isn’t as strong. Definitely going to take a lot more to even make playoffs this year. CLE sports GM management has been pretty shitty last few years. Pieces are there but just seems like they don’t have the foresight to get these teams to a true...

    Cleveland Cavs (2016 NBA Champions)

    Not exactly apples to apples, but when in CLE, LeBron was very reluctant to play the “4” on the court…he was adamant he wanted to play SF. It wasn’t until he got to Miami, that Pat Rielly convinced him, he’d be a badass “4” if he embraced it. He wouldn’t start at the “4” but they’d play him...

    Cleveland Cavs (2016 NBA Champions)

    100% fair. First group of kids that incorporated AAU team-making into a professional league…..and it was awful for the game.

    2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments - NCAA: no wins taken away, no postseason ban

    It was the cheating combined with the transfer portal, but especially, the “free” Covid year. Harbaugh went “all in” on 5th, 6th, & 7th year seniors, and began exploiting game-tape. Michigan 2023 is one the better college teams I’ve seen in history….from the experience along both sides of...

    Cleveland Cavs (2016 NBA Champions)

    It’s about CLE recent history too, though. Not saying you’re wrong, but the Cavs mailed it in with injuries last year as well. To me, it comes across as an excuse for not getting it done with what they have. Once Indiana made the comeback in Game 2, while Garland, Mobley, and Hunter were...

    Cleveland Cavs (2016 NBA Champions)

    Very good regular season team, very soft post-season team. Soft physically, but even more importantly, soft mentally. It’s not a coincidence all their players all of a sudden have life threatening injuries every post-season. It’s a bail-out mentality…. They’re soft.

    Cleveland Cavs (2016 NBA Champions)

    Jarrett Allen is a nice regular season player, but he gets bullied and cannot be an enforcer around the rim come playoffs. Myles Turner is eating them up as a floor spacer and rebounder.

    CB Denzel 'Hurt! My! Feelings!' Ward (All B1G, All-American, 4x Pro Bowl, Cleveland Browns)

    Love Denzel, but overpaid on a terrible team. Browns are wasting money at an elite position, where they could have better value….JMO

    OL Nicholas Petit-Frere (1st Team All American)

    As far as I know he’s a GREAT locker room guy and has been very solid in TN….kinda surprised here….

    Nico Iamaleava (QB Tennessee, bad poker player, transfer to UCLA)

    I love Capitalism. Nico is learning it, likely for the first time.

    LB Cody Sim0n (2025 Rose Bowl and Title Game Def MVP, National Champion, Arizona Cardinals)

    Cody Simon is a legend IMO….not that he’s under appreciated, but he’s under-appreciated. Stud senior season.

    WR Julian Fleming (transfer to Penn St.)

    Julian is an athletic freak. Julian played in a triple option offense in HS. But when he got the ball he was an absolute stud. The assumption, based on camps, was this kid will be absolutely elite. The truth is, when he got to OSU, even as the best WR prospect in that class, he was by far...

    Cleveland Browns (Factory of Sadness)

    I don’t think McCord is actually in play for Cleveland. You can see Cleveland has a “type” they’re looking for and McCord is not it…. They moved off Baker bc they didn’t think he had the physical ability to handle CLE come Oct through December. They thought DeShaun had the physical tools...

    Deion Sanders (HC Colorado, Father of SubPrime)

    As an FSU graduate. I still find it insanely comical, the Noles bypassed Deion for Mike Norvell……lolz. I actually root against FSU bc their ignorance knows no bounds. Amazing.

    WR Julian Fleming (transfer to Penn St.)

    I don’t want to be too unfair to Julian…..he came into to OSU from a HS system that ran triple option. Kid was an athletic freak out of HS, but also extremely raw. Had he been a bit bigger, I actually think OSU would’ve gone the Gee Scott route with him. At one point, I was told OSU actually...

    Cleveland Browns (Factory of Sadness)

    But it’ll make a franchise QB far easier to find. It’s no coincidence Cleveland, Chicago, and until recently Buffalo never had a franchise QB.

    QB Justin Fields (2019-20 B1G Off POY, 2020 Silver Football, 2019 B1G CCG MVP, New York Jets)

    I’d keep an eye on the Jets and an OSU “pipeline”. The Eagles just won a Super Bowl essentially importing UGA’s culture into their locker room. It’s not a bad idea when considering how fractured an NFL roster can be. Reuniting a bunch of players who have history and a culture of grinding...
