I'm with you, especially if Mateer initiated the payments. But if the two dudes sent him a payment request, they could have put the label on the request. I agree that it's pretty brain dead if they were stupid enough to label it that way.

But they were in the stadium. Were they limited to 3800 tickets?

Duke may not play their home games there, but Charlotte is hardly a neutral site.

Did I miss the insider notes @Blake Munroe? I didn't find them on a search, but maybe that's on me.

Yep. Seems pretty clear they were already on that path before it was publicly known Chamberlain was portalling. Maybe he was just another Pierce guy that needed to move on.

ARod's gonna have to prove he can catch a ground ball on the regular before he gets the nod at 3B

That article is from June 9. Not saying it still isn't the case, but that's a lifetime ago in recruiting.

Yeah, but I was just trying to figure out who you think is the issue given that you stated Flores' and Gaspo's problems "point to bad hitting coaching". If Tulo is the hitting coach, are you saying he the problem? If not, which coach is doing the bad hitting coaching? For the record, I think Tulo is a huge asset. Glad he's here.

So, Tulo sucks then?

I agree with you. But everything I've read seems to suggest that is the plan if the settlement is approved.

I'm just wondering what Deloitte would say if the House settlement happens. Her deal is >5x more than what they said on the broadcast is the highest deal they know for softball ($175K). If that's true, would Deloitte kick it back?

Makes sense, but wondering about the kid. He's roughly 85% on FGs for his career with a long of 51, but was only 54% (7/13) last season. Before last season, he was an even 90% on FGs. What happened in 2024?

First of all, I agree that Belichick rode Brady's coattails. Your statement above is correct, although your premise is stronger if you point out Belichick is 19-1 with Brady on the team and 2-7 without him. By the way, the "1" was in Brady's rookie season when he didn't sniff the field and Bledsoe was the starting QB. And in Brady's second year, Bedsoe got injured and only played in two games - both were losses. Brady took over and led them to the first Super Bowl win. When you look at it that way, it accentuates your original premise.

I absolutely agree with this.

I guess reading comprehension is a challenge for you. The last sentence literally says it's not good. But it sure as hell isn't the 2-27 that was stated in the post I responded to. I don't have a problem with the premise. It's valid. But the 2 out of 29 statement is blatantly wrong.
