    ***2025 NFL Season***

    The dollar amounts are generally standardized, but not some of the contract language. This is a situation where the Bengals are trying to insert language that would allow them to void the entire deal in some circumstances. It's not language that they've ever had in their contracts previously...

    Yeah, that's how I understand it as well. Supposedly he's keeping all options open including sitting out a year and re-entering the draft next year. With draftable players now having some money in their pocket due to NIL/Revenue sharing in college, I wonder if we'll start to see more drafted...

    The Bengals continue to Bengal.

    Official CF traveling for work thread

    I have a similar experience from time to time. At home, my dog sleeps right next to me. She's always tucked up against my legs. When I'm on the road, I often wake up and my first thought is why isn't she there? What's going on?

    Official CF traveling for work thread

    I'm flying back from St Louis tomorrow morning. Been here since Monday. I make this trip about once a month. I'd rather not travel at all, for work, but I've settled into my routine and it's not terrible. The hotel staff all know me by name, by now.

    ***2025 Minnesota Vikings***

    Yep. I don't know what JJ's ceiling is, but I'm confident that KOC will get his best out of him.

    ***2025 Minnesota Vikings***

    Just saw that GB is going to cut him. If I'm Minnesota, he'd be worth a phone call. He's definitely a bit injury prone, but healthy he's pretty damn good. Definitely worth kicking the tires on a possible 1 year rental

    Hear hear! Personally I'm in it for the VIP line at the Pearly Gates. It's going to be so satisfying being behind the velvet rope and looking down at all of the losers who DIDN'T work on National projects for structures from Alaska to Florida. "Enjoy lazy man's heaven, you jerks! Hope you like...

    Why do our highest profile pros have so many doubters?

    Not really unique to Iowa State players. We just notice it more with our people. It's the nature of the way sports is covered, (hell, it's not just confined to sports either). There has to be a contrary opinion. There is always someone who is going to minimize accomplishments. There's a...

    NBA: *** 2024 NBA thread ***

    Meh. Nothing wrong with doing stuff to make your home court advantage as impactful as possible. That fan base is known for their engagement.

    What's everyone reading?

    Agreed. I will go back and reread Jurassic Park every 4-5 years. It's a really good one. Don't get me wrong, the original movie is good. Great even. But the book is better. And the movie sequels are kind of a joke.

    What's everyone reading?

    Might have to check that out. I am tearing through DCC. I'm halfway through book 5 now. It's weird how it triggers a different part of my brain than other books. Not sure how to describe it, other than that it's a different headspace. I've never read any LitRPG before this, so I'm certain...

    Sounds like the wait is finally over for Rodgers. Signing with Pittsburgh

    I'm far less sophisticated than that. I just like the phrase "gorilla warfare" (I assumed spelled that way on purpose)
