Tennis, golf, soccer....and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

NBA might be the most irrelevant pro sport out there right now

NBA is bad but I gotta be honest - college football is losing its luster under the current system. It’s arguably the most predictable sport out there. You can predict with reasonable accuracy which teams will make the playoffs just by looking at recent recruiting rankings. The playoff system may be creating a self reenforcing loop for the teams that have consistently made it. 90% of programs have zero hope of ever sniffing a title - and frankly that % may be higher. Many games end in lopsided blowouts because of the severe talent disparities.

I enjoy college football enough to join an online forum to talk about it. But I think it’s a lot less interesting than it used to be, quite honestly.

I’m probably in a minority here...

Obviously disagree. You guys can talk about blocking all you want but Gray was a homerun hitter who made guys miss. He will be missed.

How many homeruns did he hit? For a "homerun hitter" he grounded out weakly to first a lot. If one of these guys produces the same as EG, which overall really wasn't that much..AND actually tries and help the QB by not getting him killed..then he will not missed at all.

A lot of times EG looked like he was purposefully trying to get the QB killed.

Gray was also within 25 yards of being the team’s 2nd leading receiver and he missed a game.

Terrible, terrible pass blocking that needed to improve. But by far one of the best playmakers on the team.

Maybe he was doing it to help get JG off the field since the coaches wouldn’t bench him.
of course, I don’t think he really blocked with any other QB out there either, so my conspiracy theory is a bust... 🤔

I think we will be fine...terrible pass blocking is not an easily overlooked minor detail when evaluating a RB.

For sure I think we’ll be fine. I just think Gray is a damn good player (definitely had weaknesses he wasn’t perfect). We still have major weapons that have been underutilized in Hyatt and Velus. And maybe Beckwith shows us something. Plus we have the #1 juco RB. That’s about as close as you can get to plug and play besides having a big time transfer.

Baseball is fun if it's College. It was also fun to play.

I saw someone inked a $330 million per year deal? That's $2,037,037 per game. Dude could literally, play one game this year, flip twinsies and roll off interest for rest of his life.!

That is, without a doubt, the stupidest thing i've ever heard of? Not for him, from Baseball to allow that...To swing a bat. And for that reason, I'm out.

The fact that you have basketball and soccer so high should tell you that you're wrong. I'm just reminding you of that fact

yes, but not on that level.

basketball and football players are usually very good athletes. Mahomes is a freak.

not saying baseball players aren't. by and large to me there is a difference. i also think basketball and football are more popular. (didnt check)

I understand why Serena is worth 7-800 million. That sport and what it commands from mental and physical aspect, and shes ar top of her game. I dont see it with baseball, not that kind of money.
