1. Arch Manning lost in the biggest game so far in his senior season. He's still the No. 1 player in the country.

VERBAL COMMIT
6/23/2022
TEXAS
6'4" | 215 LBS | PRO QB | 2023
ISIDORE NEWMAN SCHOOL
NEW ORLEANS, LA
6.1

Gorney’s take: FACT. The first question I ask when some say

Arch Manning isn’t the best prospect in the 2023 class – because he hasn’t done national events or he didn’t have great junior season stats or whatever else – is, ‘OK, then who is the No. 1 player?’ That’s something I continue to ask and I haven’t found a solid answer myself so I’m still very comfortable with Manning in the top spot because he’s having a very good start to his senior season as well. The five-star Texas quarterback commit has no elite help around him especially with tight end
Will Randle now sidelined with a knee injury. Manning is doing the best he can possibly do. He has all the arm talent and knowledge in the world to be successful and I’m not sold anyone else has clearly stepped up to claim the No. 1 mantle from him yet.


Harris’ take: FACT. Any doubts I had about Arch Manning going into Friday night’s matchup with Many were curbed, simply put. Manning has zero help with his supporting cast at Newman as he was running for his life on almost every snap with Many’s relentless pass rush and it was hard for him to complete passes downfield with Newman’s less-than-ideal receiving talent. In spite of the challenges, Manning made impressive throws under pressure and showed off a variety of arm angles on short-to-medium passes. Manning kept Newman in the game and gave the Greenies an opportunity to tie the game late, but Many’s pass rush once again made an impact and sealed the win. With expected better protection up front at Texas, I think Manning has the highest ceiling of any prospect in the 2023 class, making him the No. 1 player in my book.

I swear the Mannings are privately paying these recruiting sites. Their defense of keeping him #1 is utterly laughable at this point. Most high end QBs in the past were throwing to guys who are selling insurance now and many didn’t come close to being an undisputed #1 recruit(I.e Tim Tebow, Cam Newton, Justin Fields, Trevor Lawrence, Michael Vick, Vince Young, Andrew Luck to name a few)

Woody, bless his name, made players who fumbled carry a ball with them for the week following the game.

Quote from the master during his course Winter quarter, 1967. "Paul (Warfield) had trouble catching the ball, so I gave him a football and told him, 'you take this and you throw it up in the air and catch it as you walk. You take it with you everywhere you go and you watch that ball into your hands everytime. You're walking to class across the oval I want to see that ball and you catching it. I'll be looking for you.'"

I don't think there was a better receiver to come out of Ohio State than Warfield. Carter and Byars maybe, but Warfield was something very special.

Sadly, literally literally doesn’t mean literally anymore.

Being an autistic engineer, I’d prefer if people stuck to primary meanings as well, but “literally” as hyperbole has been around for 300 years, give or take

Merriam-Webster said:
Can literally mean figuratively?
One of the definitions of literally that we provide is "in effect, virtually—used in an exaggerated way to emphasize a statement or description that is not literally true or possible." Some find this objectionable on the grounds that it is not the primary meaning of the word, "with the meaning of each individual word given exactly." However, this extended definition of literally is commonly used and is not quite the same meaning as figuratively ("with a meaning that is metaphorical rather than literal").

Is the extended use of literally new?
The "in effect; virtually" meaning of literally is not a new sense. It has been in regular use since the 18th century and may be found in the writings of Mark Twain, Charlotte Brontë, James Joyce, and many others.

Is the extended use of literally slang?
Among the meanings of literally is one which many people find problematic: "in effect, virtually—used in an exaggerated way to emphasize a statement or description that is not literally true or possible." Neither this nor any of the other meanings of literally is what we would consider slang. This sense has been in standard use by many esteemed writers since the 18th century.
