If the admin hadn't been stupid enough to agree to that buyout, he'd be gone by Monday.

First thoughts on EA College Football 27.

1- it’s fun.
2- dynasty is much more strategic. Doesn’t feel like you repeating the same thing over and over. You really have to think if recruit worth the NIL
3- On Heisman the CPU definitely plays smarter but not to the point it can’t be competitive which is cool.

Some negatives, at least for me my coaching adjustments aren’t carrying over to dynasty so I have to do them every game. Ton of dropped INTs. The CPU QB can still be a bit OP. But overall definitely an improvement over 26.

@NolesAndPhins I won't see that because he'll be gone from my dynasty day 1.

People were always dumb. They’re just louder now.

They could have all just cleared out, grabbed some water, and left the goal open for him. Same difference.

Color me shocked.

Here is the letter from the NFL’s Management Council to Brendan Sorsby:

Dear Mr. Sorsby:

We are in receipt of your Petition for Special Eligibility, dated June 16, 2026 (“Petition”).  As announced earlier today, the League has elected not to conduct a Supplemental Draft this year.

Under our Collective Bargaining Agreement, the League retains sole discretion to determine whether it is appropriate to conduct a Supplemental Draft in any given year. The League has not conducted such a draft for several years and, prior to your submission, the League had no plans to do so this year, as no other player has sought entry. Your Petition—filed three business days before the deadline, without any supporting information or documentation, and only after abandoning your recent litigation efforts to avoid NCAA sanctions—does not provide a basis for the League to alter those plans. The issues presented by your Petition are too significant, and too closely tied to the League’s core integrity interests, to permit meaningful review within the timeline presented.

The sole reasons identified in your Petition for seeking entry into the Supplemental Draft are that you have been “declared ineligible” by the NCAA, have “exhausted all of [your] avenues to continue in the NCAA,” and “want to now play in the NFL.” The Petition provides no information regarding the basis for, or timing of, the NCAA’s decision. Public sources, however, indicate that in May 2026 the NCAA issued a determination declaring you permanently ineligible from participation in college athletics, based on a sustained pattern of improper gambling activity during your collegiate career at three different universities.

The League does not have the complete record of the NCAA’s investigation, and you did not provide any such materials with your Petition. Available information nonetheless indicates that, over the course of your collegiate career, you knowingly engaged in repeated and significant violations of NCAA rules designed to preserve the integrity of athletic competition. Reported conduct includes placing wagers on your own team and teammates and, to avoid detection, establishing or funding accounts in the names of intermediaries who placed bets on your behalf. There are also reports that you may have violated state criminal law.

Your Petition does not address these matters. Nor does it demonstrate accountability for your conduct or indicate whether, or how, you would adhere to the League’s rules and policies governing the integrity of competition. Instead, even after receiving notice of the NCAA’s decision rescinding your college eligibility in May, you sought to avoid the consequences of that determination through litigation rather than accepting responsibility for your actions, and you pursued entry into the NFL only after abandoning those efforts.

As Commissioner Goodell has emphasized, participation in the NFL is a privilege that carries with it significant responsibilities, including accountability. By all accounts, you are a talented player with the potential for future success. We encourage you to focus on preparing for possible entry into the NFL through the 2027 NFL Annual Draft.

Sincerely,
Lawrence P. Ferazani, Jr.

@NolesAndPhins I've had the commercial jingle stick in my head since you sent this. So thanks for that. Haha. https://t.co/ARj5g1Mcgg

Japan a problem.

Dolan really is the owner who most personifies MAGA in that you can give him everything he wants and he'll still be a miserable asshole about it. All he had to do for a PR victory lap was smile and be happy and he couldn't even do it.

This is Trump donor and Mar-a-Lago neighbor John Cafaro who got the no-bid contract to install a water purification system for the reflecting pool. He has 2 prior convictions, one for bribing a member of Congress and another for an illegal loan that violated campaign finance laws.

Ahhhhh...fuck. Good save.

Peep the interiors too, if you haven't.

It's a big ambitious project. I hope you'll all support us now at the beginning of it all <3

Out from @ImageComics - this October.

Belt to ass.

[Scott Schneider @EdLawDude]

Maybe the deeper problem is treating “college athletics” as one undifferentiated mass.

The SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, Ivy League, Patriot League, SWAC, D-III, mid-majors, commuter schools, regional publics, and small privates are not operating the same enterprise.

They should not all be forced into the same model.

Some schools can and will compete in the professionalized, high-revenue version of college sports. Others should be able to build a different model around participation, education, campus life, Olympic sports, regional identity, and athlete development.

The obsession with one national solution for “500,000 athletes” is part of what keeps making the problem worse.

Beating the human rights violations outta them.

Just smothering them. The only time the ball crossed midfield is when Canada passed it back. Stick a fork in em.

Yeah these hydration breaks are wack.
