       Don’t watch a whole lot of college football but this Oregon
       Colorado game will be interesting.
       Shader Sanders is kind of a wildcard and I’ve seen his games but
       Bo Nix is who I want to check out for the Bears.

       Oregon would beat this Bears team handily

       A lot of good QB prospects the Bears can <s>ruin</s> draft next
       year.

       Weird contract.  He only gets $2mil a year then the balance at
       the end of the contract.

       No, he gets paid over 20 years with $680M in years 11-20.

       I don't like this loophole.  There needs to be something in
       these contracts that doesn't allow such a a large deferral.  I
       love the opportunity for all teams to be competitive, and not
       just watch the Dodgers every year in the World Series because
       they have the deepest pockets and a system that allows them to
       get around the luxury tax.

       It’s not a loophole. It’s specifically written in the CBA.
       LA is not in the World Series every year.  If making the World
       Series is a proxy for competitiveness, baseball looks good.
       2/3rds of all the teams have made the WS in the last 20 years. I
       don’t know but I doubt the other, salaried capped sports, are
       better.

       I guess the decision to leave Florida State out of the playoffs
       was a good one.  Damn they got smoked in their bowl game.

       FL state were missing numerous players - several of which were
       first rounders.   Georgia piled it on because they wanted to
       make statement too.
