One of TAMUs team leaders got arrested on DWI and gun charges? Damn they really are gearing up for a title run.

Be really wild if someone had just happened to take Hendon to the Barstool office today and then she had to explain to his face why she ranked him there!

nothing is better than the sheer look of playfulness from an owl.

Note the empathic facial expression, caring look wanting to know, YOU. On a personal level.

None of these recruiting guys want to put their career on the line to call Arch straight up.

1) Most important: They depend on access to the Manning family, and the access that an alliance with the Mannings provides for their careers going forward. Manning Passing Academy, all the coaches and former players that are in all aspects of football culture. They are kissing the ring.

2) It is good for business that he is #1. It drives clicks, it drove a lot of discussion, now it is driving debates.

3) The pedigree. Knowing what we all know about the Mannings, are you really going to go against the grain and put all your chips on the table for one recruit? You won't get dinged for being high on a guy(s) that flames out, busts happen all the time. You will be immortalized if you criticize a Manning and they go on to do great things. It would be one of the most obvious guarantees in football history that the next Manning would be the next great QB, if you're looking back after his however many Super Bowls with the benefit of hindsight -- which is how sports journalism and social media culture works now by the way.

The only people that are zigging are guys looking to make a name for themselves, and even if they are right, they are going to make a career and beat their chest about the one time they were right that a Manning wouldn't be the next great QB? The Mannings will hate you forever, everyone that loves them will hate you forever, other members of sports media will roll their eyes at you. It's not going to earn rep or respect in the football world. Think of how many coaching trees or former players think highly of the Mannings, or think that they owe some of their success to the Mannings. You won't have many allies. So even if you are right, you can't hang your hat on it.

I am not saying that I appreciate the approach, or that I would do the same thing. I am saying that I understand why this is playing out like it is, even if we all know what's really going on. People want to tell it like it is, be honest, call things how they are. The reality is, that like most things, there is more nuance and long-term strategy involved.

In other words..it's all just pureed

What a hit.

Sankey: “Slight change in plans for Mr. Smith’s media availability today, everybody pile in now… “

Your joke reminds of Huck Finn's excited reaction to hearing about Moses... until he was told that Moses was no longer alive, so he lost all interest. This used to be a great observation about America and youth. But then Twain died, so no one cares.

Not unless the reporter misspelled Alabama.

omfg. In the article directly under the bowl projections that BigSteve posted, 24/7 Sports actually, in real life, names arch manning as a 3-way tie for "Best high school football player this century."

This century. Not making that up.

Here are his career numbers, against pretty low level competition:



I am really not seeing what the hype is about. I know that stats don't tell the whole story. I am not sure how much he has camped, but I think it is questionable that he is even a true 5 start, much less one of the three best players this century.

He’s gradually become less effective, got it.
