Remember the photos of Patriots Coach Vrabel's rendezvous with The Athletic's NFL reporter Dianna Russini? Chrissy Froyd – a competing reporter for USA Today group – just went off on Russini in a rather blunt way.

"Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. We know who you really are and what you've been up to for years…

“i will be so real here... Giving something up for info as an exchange is wrong."

"You make your own bed…"

Well if you really want to know:

16 ppg is not great for a project lottery freshman, at 6’10 he is not physical in the paint and 49% fg percentage in the paint is not good at all, he is not strong in the paint, he has a total fg % of 39% which is not lottery worthy.

Am I saying he is bad? By no means, im just saying he is not nba ready right now. Everyone on nba forums say another year would help him a ton

Another year would help him a ton. Also they’re drafted on potential and he’s shown enough flashes that it would not at all be a shock if an org takes him early so they’re the ones that get to maximize that potential.

All the Freshmen that go pro probably could use another year in College but that's not reality.

In real world we all know he could use another year. In bizarro world we know someone will pay him $11M a year.

CEO's are buying futures.

Book of Hosea 6:3
Scripture:
“Let us acknowledge the Lord;
let us press on to acknowledge him.
As surely as the sun rises,
he will appear;
he will come to us like the winter rains,
like the spring rains that water the earth.”

Reflection:
Hosea was speaking into a time when people’s devotion had grown inconsistent—present in moments, absent in others. And yet the invitation isn’t harsh correction. It’s a call back to continuity.
Keep going. Keep turning your attention toward God.

Notice what anchors that call: “as surely as the sun rises.” God’s faithfulness is not reactive. It does not depend on your consistency to exist. It is already in motion—steady, predictable, certain.
And then the image shifts—rain. Not a storm that overwhelms, but rain that nourishes. The kind that soaks slowly into the ground and brings life over time.

This is how God often works. Not always in sudden change, but in steady renewal.
Some days your faith feels clear. Other days it feels thin. This verse doesn’t demand perfection—it invites persistence.
Stay turned toward Him.
Stay in the direction of acknowledgment.
The promise is not that you will always feel it—but that He will come.

Prayer:
Lord, help me press on in knowing You—not in bursts of effort, but in steady direction. When my focus drifts or my consistency weakens, draw me back without condemnation. Thank You that Your faithfulness is as certain as the sunrise, not dependent on my strength. Come to me in the quiet ways that restore—like rain that nourishes what I cannot force to grow. Keep my heart aligned with You, even when the progress feels slow. Amen.

Teams do this every year with guys that would normally be drafted somewhere in the ~8-15 range to try and get more value out of late first round (or sometimes even early second round) picks.

This time of year all sorts of “injuries”, “character concerns”, etc come to light that were never mentioned before. The majority of it is just positioning.
