@SheerID military veteran and retiree verification is broken. Their customer support is non-existent. You submit all the requested forms yet fail the verification then tell you that you’ve tried too many times. I really wish @Nike would leave them and use ID me - it always works.

@Free_Thinking1 @GregFinberg They shut down the 3 "best players" and then won a handful of games 😂 it's always tough when you play young players, hungry and trying to prove they belong. It's the thing people don't realize about tanking...you can put out "bad" lineups, but can't tell them not to play.

[Al Sowers @ASowers10]

@Coach_Yac That's exactly the point of the conversation...no one is trading for that contract for a guy that is coming off an injury and just stopped showing up for his team last year. Nobody.

[Al Sowers @ASowers10]

@P_ConnerJr In year 1 it was something like a 60% roster turnover. Almost feels like we’re heading for another high percentage this year, especially for starters. Wonder what the total would be from yr 1 to now under AP.

@kevinsheehanDC Youth. Speed. Positions of need. Keep it going!

@Domo8186 Fouling up 27 to get extra possessions. Purposefully missing free throws...no shame.

Commanders sign CB Amik Robertson, per source. @TomPelissero first. One thing to like with Robertson is durability, has played all 17 games last 4 years.

@EdEmond18 @Russellmania621 @PFF @team980 @Audacy Rooster not great at math....

@OBtoojiveforyou Could literally be the worst TE situation in the NFL - but at least bottom 5.

[Al Sowers @ASowers10]

@_willcompton Yes...screw not nail. But make sure you don't drill into the stud once you hit it, especially if the drill bit is same size or bigger. It will leave a hole that the screw wont fit in and therefore won't grab the stud.

[Al Sowers @ASowers10]

@BenStandig Analytics doesn't take into account that 50% (maybe more) of the time they are playing with multiple otherG-League players surrounding them. They also are playing in a "tank" rotation that sits them for large chunks of the games - often the entire 4th qtr.

[Al Sowers @ASowers10]

@runstats1 @spotrac It's the kick the can strategy. Look at the remaining year cap hits that @spotrac put in the original posts. This is on top of two 60M void years in 2032 and 2033 which will count as dead money. KC is basically sacrificing the later years to try and stay competitive now.

[Al Sowers @ASowers10]

@runstats1 @spotrac Converting base salary to bonus doesn't "rob" the player of money - bonus money is allowed to be spread out over the duration of the contract but is paid up front. So Mahomes still gets his money today, but the cap hits are then divided equally over the remaining years.

[Al Sowers @ASowers10]

@AdamSchefter @Jason_OTC @spotrac how is this possible?! I would assume converting the 45M base into bonus and then dividing it out over remaining years. And do the 60M void years of 2032 and 2033 have to stay?

[Al Sowers @ASowers10]

@SharpFootball Do you have no-huddle plays too? Not only did Washington never go under center, they seemingly on huddled on some 4th down plays and when inside the 10. Almost always no huddle the rest of the game. Wonder if that changes too.

[Al Sowers @ASowers10]

@MarshW_7 @strobersports @JunksRadio @WizRoundtable @Domo8186 @OBtoojiveforyou He also kinda has to say this to keep the NBA off his back. If they're sitting anywhere close to potentially not locking up the draft pick, my guess is they are not medically cleared to play. Would make no sense to let them play 5-10 games and have a chance of losing that pick

[Al Sowers @ASowers10]

@Domo8186 Maybe bc they just got worked in the 4th qtr by 4 GoGo players and Gill. (No disrespect to the GoGo or Gill...)

[Al Sowers @ASowers10]

@Domo8186 Robert Horry looks like he ate all his championship rings...

[Al Sowers @ASowers10]

@HoneyBucketHero @spotrac 😂 good luck!
