    Philip Gunn on the Paul Gallo show...

    A lot of Bernie supporters got mad at Bernie for immediately endorsing Biden, which is fine. It was the right thing to do though, and I'm not mad at him. He said he'd do it. He did the same thing in '16 and despite her revisionist history he actively campaigned for her in multiple states, which...

    Why is Alabama's coast so much better than Mississippi's coast?

    This used to bother me so much, especially after the opportunity after Katrina... and BP oil spill... and BP oil spill money. Here's how I see it: 1) There is zero political power on the gulf coast. This is by design, but it's dumb. You could make the argument that the same exists in Alabama...

    Chris Jones Holdout

    Chris Jones wants a new deal and is threatening to pull a LeVeon according to his twitter. I imagine this isn't a popular stance here, but it's refreshing to see players know their worth and play the 1 or 2 chips they're given. For Jones, Kylin, and Dak. I don't want to ever see another "good...

    Dak likely getting tagged

    If an NBA player of Dak's stature wants to move to another team, there is really only a 10% chance the team has enough cap and roster spots to make that happen, thus the Dak-esk player would need to be a team player in helping facilitate an exchange. There is virtually no conceivable scenario...

    Dak likely getting tagged

    Bold prediction, considering Dak is a free agent.

    Its really funny to me

    I do think it's 90% the same skillsets. It's not like the HC is primarily recruiting every single kid a school talks to OR that it's 24/7/365. A lot more NFL coaches have success in the NCAA ranks than NCAA coaches have in the NFL ranks. Rhule will be back in 2-3 years.

    So Judge’s dream job was

    This is an insane thing to hold against him. If you have an NFL job offer, you take it. It's not even in the same realm. I remember reading something a few years ago when Saban was tied to the Colts opening, it was a close source inside the Bama coaching staff that said the biggest annoyance of...

    Joe Judge would be the better hire

    Can't you say the same thing about offensive coordinators? Defensive coordinators? The NFL doesn't seem to think so - they take shots on interviewing ST coordinators as HC fairly often. Think we loved Mullen (rightfully so) as a hire because the history of MSU football has been anemic offense...

    Germans? Nick worked out with the Broncos today

    He was never on their team to cut. Wish MSU would quit touting former players on practice squads now that we actually have (at least 4) Pro Bowl talents actually in the NFL... it was acceptable when we had like 2 players on NFL rosters in 2009. Practice squaders get a weekly salary, thus aren't...

    Q gets a 2-way contract with the Spurs. He'll be on the roster or the G-league

    He will spend the majority of his time with the G-League affiliate in Austin, and can spend UP TO 45 days with the San Antonio Spurs. His base salary is $75,000 (which he would make if he doesn't spend even 1 of his 45 days in the NBA) and can make UP TO $204,000 (if he spends all 45 days...

    Dak... Cowboy for Life?

    I feel the same way about Joe Flacco 6 or 7 years ago as I do Dak. He can win you games and he can take you all the way, but he's not going to will an average team into winning the same way Brees, Peyton, Favre, Brady, etc. can/could. Tom Brady takes pedestrian rosters to the Super Bowl (Deion...

    Fitz to the Bucs

    100%, but I genuinely don't believe he was invited to camp to compete at rookie camp as a QB when #2 is a seasoned NFL veteran (former 1st rounder) and #3 a minimum salary player who's going on his 7th NFL season, 5th with the team (also 5th in the same QB room with Winston). #1-3 are the same...

    Fitz to the Bucs

    More to this point, Taysom Hill lined up at RB, TE, WR, gunner, KR and PR this season, in addition to his roster spot at QB. He also had the fasted 40 time on a roster that includes Ted Ginn and Alvin Kamara. In no way shape or form is Taysom Hill and Nick Fitz a fair comparison, for Nick's...

    17 ESPN

    You're to close to this. ESPN is an entertainment company, Trey Wingo isn't Walter Cronkite and the coverage isn't FOR Simmons or his family, or even Mississippi State fans. The vast majority of NFL fans watching this don't know who the hell Jeffrey Simmons is. I'm sorry, it's relevant. Saying...
