    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    Russell likely has offset language in his Broncos contract, meaning if Team X now offers him $Y Million for this season, the Broncos would not have to pay him the equivalent amount, though that has no impact on the Broncos' cap numbers. The assumption is he'll therefore play for the veteran...

    IIRC, the Broncos are already $27 Mil over the cap before another $50 Mil would accelerate onto it (as Russell has an existing $35 Mil cap hit for 2024), so they'll likely have to get rid of pieces they would like to keep now on top of the trades they gave up for him.

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    Salary caps are based on last year's revenue, so any additional ticket revenue or updated TV contracts with an 18th game wouldn't affect the cap until after those games start being played / contracts are redone. And real talk, shouldn't signings for next year be in a 2024 (at least pre-season)...

    The Sci-Fi Book Thread

    Since I'm re-reading it at the moment, the statistical impossibility of Anathem is intentional - the Incanters / Rhetors are working overtime to drag everyone into a timeline / narrative where things work out for Arbre, and the one they end up with isn't even consistent, hence the confusion with...

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    Get rid of another pre-season game, add another bye week, with Thursday games only played after the bye. That would be a net positive for fans (they don't get charged full price tickets for the preseason game), players (no short weeks), and the broadcasters (a 19th week of full advertising rate...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    2077 not having a pleasant way to redo stats was honestly one of my biggest gripes. I sorta understood in 1.X, when stats determined max skills which determined perks, but in 2.X, when everyone can max out every skill regardless of stat build, it's super inconvenient, especially to returning...

    QB salaries do tend to settle in 20 - 25% of salary cap, but for Dak? Jerrah, keep Jerrah-ing.

    Keep in mind, Mike released this under the Mr Plinkett branding, so not every video 'of his' relates to major IPs or the genre as a whole.

    As someone who was rooting for the meteor, the Chiefs' defense keeping the game in winnable territory even despite the interception, lost ball, etc. was the bigger factor than Mahomes' supposed destiny to win. The most depressing thing about this game is the Chiefs should be better on offense...

    Honestly, I would summarize it as a reverse Archer: "What if we randomly made the next season of Atlanta about a married spy couple?" Your general attitude towards late-season Atlanta will likely mirror your opinion of M&MS.

    On one hand, we do get the rematch from last year we missed out on due to SF QB injuries. On the other hand, what a monumental collapse by the Lions.

    Oof, that honestly hurt more than if the 49rers had completely blown us out. If the Packers had gone with the FG instead of going for it on fourth, held on to the interception, made the FG, OR didn't make a desperation throw when they still had time on the clock, at worst we would be looking at...

    Dominating the clock for this large a percent of the time isn't going to matter if the Packers only get FGs (or nothing) out of it.

    I've legitimately dozed off twice during this game. How the hell were the Eagles 10-1? Did everyone just figure out the new coordinators' tendencies and they couldn't adjust?

    Cowboys doing their part to be the surprise winner of the Belichick sweepstakes, and the Packers will meet their destiny by getting crushed by the 49ers in the playoffs, albeit a week later than predicted? Interesting times.

    To be fair, your Buffaloes (and to a lesser degree Detroits) get the worst of both worlds, north enough that they're in the snow (and not rain) zone, while their storm fronts also pick up extra moisture going over Lakes Erie & Michigan, unlike the Minnesota and Wisconsin equivalents. Of course...

    To be blunt, both Bill and Pete are very old (they're already amongst the oldest coaches ever, and would top Romeo Crennell after a 3 year contract), I would expect them to go to teams that are close (minus a QB or so), and think we might get some surprising moves by the Kirk Cousins of the...

    There's no evidence any of this will matter long term to The Franchise, so its just the question if the rushed storylines work for you. That said, if Episode 1 with its Blade Runner vibe, plausible character mashups (Jude Law / Korg / Howard the Duck / etc. in a space setting), and mostly...

    So the Lions win their first division title since the eight division structure (and the NFC North) was created in the 2002 season, and will play their first home playoff game since Ford Field opened in 2001. Obviously, as a Packers fan I don't wish the Lions any luck in the playoffs, but that...

    Just a reminder that E3 served multiple purposes: 1) In the days when games were printed ROMs that took months to produce, publishers and retailers would agree in June to the number of cartridges to be made.

    Even adjusting for inflation, that has to be the highest budget failure they've gone after, yes? Even when they covered Double Dragon on a BotW years ago they mentioned something like "This is too much of a real movie for this show".

    If the season ended today, the Seahawks would be the #6 seed in the NFC. I get that Geno has slumped back to earth (or, like Dobbs, people have enough current tape to gameplan against him), but fans wanting 70% of the coaches in the league fired every year isn't realistic.

    If all games were played on Sundays, any team with a bye would play one game in a 20 day stretch - 1 in 23 just meant they had a TNF game prior to their bye week.

    I did not see the injury itself, but Bosa's reaction was not that of a veteran with a "questionable foot injury". Also the Chargers should be demolishing the Packers, are they that unused to the cold?
