Interesting how DeCosta mentioned the Linderbaum contract in his press conference today. Yes, the Hendrickson market made it possible to back out of the trade and keep the picks. It also gave them a chance to screw the team that stole their Center.
@righttimebomani@bomani_jones Hey Bo, everyone’s right about the how the Hendrickson market changed the Ravens’ calculus, but nobody is mentioning how the Raiders signing Linderbaum to an absurd contract pissed the Ravens off. The pivot was equal parts opportunism and revenge.
@jrgacstcharles Why is the tiebreaker +/- point differential? That incentivizes running up the score and never playing 2s and 3s.
In HS you get maximum points for any win 13+ — so winning 13-0 is just as valuable as winning 73-0.
Youth football should be about development. Everyone plays.
