Is Brock Purdy AI? because it sure seems like Silicon Valley investors sunk hundreds of millions of dollars into him without actually looking into whether he is good or not

This is so true, and as someone who tried to wear at least a sports jacket when I fly, I hate it.

Moving on from JJ would be the worst thing that the Vikings could do. They need to stick with him and give him time. I'd recommend 8-10 years at a minimum.
Today’s NFL newsletter is about how it’s increasingly clear that JJ McCarthy is not only the worst QB in the NFL right now, but putting up some of the worst stats of any QB to play in the NFL in recent years, despite entering a near-ideal situation for a young QB sports.beehiiv.com/p/jj-mccarth...
JJ McCarthy is the worst
The Vikings need to move on from their 2024 10th overall pick ASAP. PLUS, Jameis Winston makes one of the greatest QB catches ever, the Raiders pin their problems on Chip Kelly, and more!

So we're probably about 15 days from the B1G announcing next year's schedule. I thought that I'd take a crack at Iowa's. Opponents are already set. There's only one bye week next year. I'm betting Vegas sets the O/U at 7.5.

This is mind blowing. And yet it probably shouldn’t be.

Navy would go on to beat UConn 21-3. The following week, Navy would lose 70-14 to Michigan. Navy went 4-7 in 1976, and despite young Ferentz's words, was not a good football team. Yes, it was early-onset coach speak.
It appears Kirk Ferentz has always been a master of coach speak ...
The #Hawkeyes head coach was NOT giving Navy any bulletin board material in 1976!

HINSON: As a mom, I think about watching a baby monitor. That's a very intimate moment with your baby and to think the Chinese could be spying on your morning routine
BARTIROMO: Why are they spying on moms?

I have always appreciated the writers who would be fair. They didn’t pander. They didn’t sugar coat. They didn’t take cheap shots. That is how I have always thought of Mike Hlas. I hope my time reading him continues.
