R1/3: Drake Maye QB UNC
His two older brothers both won a national championship in college, in basketball and baseball respectively. Didn’t connect that he was Luke Maye’s brother- singaporesoxfan

There are a lot of sons in this draft, but on a pure “looks like his dad” metric, I think MHJ probably wins- singaporesoxfan

2024 NFL Draft 1st round gamethread: Maye the odds be ever in your favor WITH SPOILERS
As said before, my theory is teams get players with similar names to their coaches. So Mayo gets Maye, Mike McCarthy gets JJ McCarthy, and Sean McDermott gets Penix- singaporesoxfan

Patriots' 2024 Free Agency Thread
You are right, I was mixing up a bunch of facts about 2011 in my mind. What 2011 allowed was cap to be carried over formally, rather than the practice of issuing ridiculous NLTBE bonuses like what I described in order to say they weren’t earned and thus allowing that cap space to be carried...- singaporesoxfan

Patriots' 2024 Free Agency Thread
To be fair, much as I don't think much of the Union, my sense is that the reason that the floor doesn't really play is that teams just manage their cash spending to the cap. What the players negotiated in 2011 was that they managed to make sure the spending is real cash spending, and ended the...- singaporesoxfan

Patriots' 2024 Free Agency Thread
I am not saying or trying to make the point that the Patriots are cheap. I was surprised to find what the delta was between the highest- (Eagles) and lowest- (Patriots) cash spending teams over 10 years, precisely because of what you outlined - I assumed over such a long period of time, cash...- singaporesoxfan

Patriots' 2024 Free Agency Thread
Everyone basically spends up to the salary cap, because teams structure contracts to make sure they are cap-compliant and also cap-floor compliant. The salary cap isn't a good guide to whether a team is cheap or spending lavishly. Found a handy guide on total cash spending by NFL teams over the...- singaporesoxfan

Chicago can't bear its crappy stadium any longer, moving to the 'burbs.
I guess NFL teams will leverage whatever argument they want, but arguing that a piece of land shouldn't be valued at perhaps the purest expression of its value, the price it actually sold for, is funny to me.- singaporesoxfan

Patriots' 2024 Free Agency Thread
This is where the Patriots have ranked in terms of actual cash spending over the last six seasons, per the Boston Globe. Generally on the cheaper side, which you can either interpret as cheapness or prudence. Year NFL ranking 2018 23rd 2019 11th 2020 32nd 2021 3rd 2022 27th 2023...- singaporesoxfan

Patriots' 2024 Free Agency Thread
Specifically, this season marks the start of a new multi-League-Year period 2024-2026 under the CBA. So whether one thinks they've been frugal or cheap the last few years is in a way not that relevant. They need to at a minimum spend 90% of the salary cap during the next 3 years. If they choose...- singaporesoxfan

Championship Weekend: Chiefs @ Ravens, Lions @ 49ers
It’s solidarity among Democrats plus they’re long time friends. Last year IIRC for Eagles-Chiefs Josh Shapiro ended up making bets with both Kelly and Mike Parson- singaporesoxfan
