every game in the nba is between two frauds. if you lose, your fraudulence is proven. if you win, you’ve won against a fraud, and have thus proven nothing.
The #Bears were open to trading a future 4th to the #Falcons to move from 9 to 8 to secure Rome Odunze.
Seems like Atlanta wasn't interested. The Bears still got Odunze.
But this feels noteworthy after Atlanta lost a future 5th this week for tampering.
Interested in doing any #DLFMock drafts this offseason? Complete this Google doc to claim your spot.
We'll do monthly startup mocks (SF & 1QB) and our rookie mocks start next month.

@ProFootballTalk@PFTPMPosse The timing of this Dolphins news is peculiar. Is the NFL setting this up to negate the NFLPA's argument that the league doesn't punish owners? And thus making it easier for them to justify giving Watson a harsher punishment after appeal? The next CBA negotiations will be heated.
@ProFootballTalk@PFTPMPosse From Playmakers we know HC hires are a done deal before the old coach is fired. With them explicitly punishing that behavior, do you think the process will improve/fix some issues that the Rooney Rule has failed to, or will owners just get more shady and secretive with HC hiring?
@ProFootballTalk@PFTPMPosse Are Brady and Payton too hot to touch for next season? Or will it not matter as long as they both don't go to the same team?
@ProFootballTalk@PFT_Live@PFTPMPosse money by being able to pay them low salary, and the coaches are fine because they still getting millions from their previous teams.
The Pats have done this before when Bret Bielema was fired from Arkansas. The maneuver became the subject of a lawsuit between University and Bret.
@ProFootballTalk@PFT_Live@PFTPMPosse My theory: Judge & Patricia's previous contracts/ termination agreement had language that if they were rehired elsewhere as a Head Coach/ OC/ DC, the Giants & Lions would not be obligated to continue paying their guaranteed money. By not naming them OC/ DC, the Pats save (cont.)
@ProFootballTalk@PFTPMPosse With the usual "bad" teams (Panthers, Lions, WFT, Jaguars, Jets) all making moves to seemingly try to win games this year, What team do you think joins the Texans in a race to the bottom, to get one of the elite franchise QBs in the next draft (Young and Stroud)?
@ProFootballTalk@PFTPMPosse How does your news gathering process compare to "Breaking News" Insiders (Rapoport, Schefter, etc)?
Are you plugged into similar team sources as them, and already know of news before they break it?
Or do you see the tweets first and use that info to dig deeper among your people?
@ProFootballTalk@PFTPMPosse How long will it take and What has to happen procedurally for the NFL to adopt new tech like USFL (3D player and ball tracking, Lidar for 1st down detection, sub-second broadcast latency)?
If they truly want play-by-play betting, these changes need to come sooner rather than late
