Ironically, EJ becoming the featured back the last three weeks under the new OC probably caused this desire/justification for a lot more money. Doesn’t it seem logical that he was being paid this year as a second or third string back?

Too bad a higher “salary” for 2025 couldn’t have been silently negotiated without the bad optics of him “leaving.” Contracts can’t be implemented too soon.

Messin with a loser like you not only is a huge waste of my time but isn't worth any aspect of my time period. I'm actually getting a good chuckle out of this as this is funny and not bothering me one bit! Entetainment is always good! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
The exclamation point was unnecessary as were the repeating emojis. You misspelled "entertainment". You've needlessly killed electrons that did nothing to you and I doubt you have good hygiene.

I think whoever does is gonna be walkons. Got to get the roster down to 105 after we just added 20. I shoulda said few not as in 3 but shouldn't have said a bunch. Tomorrow is the 1st day of the open portal. We could also end up with a couple of portal guys tomorrow as well.
And today is the first day of the rest of your life.

Tomorrow hasn't hit yet. There will be a bunch hitting the portal tomorrow. To make it clear, someone asked what was said and this isn't something I derived up. This was all in that video that was posted. I can say this, if it was true it wouldn't surprise me in the least as there are soooo many skeletons in that programs closet spanning decades.
will this be in the national enquirer?

You’re an idiot. Truly, an idiot.
You have to. You can't try to force them the stay, they need to explore options. That doesn't mean you should not try to convince them that staying is the best option but you have to let them explore.

It is not like the players don't know they can enter the portal.

The most likely scenario is EJ felt disrespected after showing he was the best back 2 years in a row but not getting carries like the #1 should. He put together some good film at the end of the year so thought, f it, I'm gone. DH hears about it and says, whoa, your my guy.
Yeah. I would bet that Emmitt had a lot of opportunities to go other places, but Rhule & Dana were able to re-recruit him to stay.

Not sure about the timeline but Otis 12 and Diver Dan Doomie (sp?) were the frigging bomb. For those who've never heard of them they were a couple of morning DJs on 93.5 FM in Omaha. Hilarious.

Otis 12 did a skit on the radio where he went to a Burger King in Omaha and ordered a Whopper during BK's "Special orders don't upset us" ad campaign.

Otis 12: I want a Whopper with cheese.

Server: So, a cheese Whopper. Anything else?

Otis 12: Skip the onions.

Server: Okay, Whopper hold the onions. That it?

Otis 12: No pickles.

Server: Whopper, hold the onions and pickles.

Otis 12: No lettuce.

Server (pause): So, a Whopper, hold the onions, pickles and lettuce. Will that be it?

Otis 12: I don't like mayo.

Server: No mayo? So no pickles, onions, lettuce and mayo. That'll be--"

Otis 12: Skip the mustard and ketchup.

Server: What DO you want on it?

Otis 12: I changed my mind on the cheese.

Server: What?

Otis 12: I just want the meat.

Server: .....you just want a patty? That's all?

Otis 12: No buns. I don't like the buns, so no buns.

Server (pregnant pause): You just want a patty.

Otis 12: And you don't need to cook it.



Almost peed myself on West Dodge listening to that.
It was on Z92, 92.3 and Otis was still on air until he recently retired from the local classical music station KVNO. Legend

I would think so too.

You have to let him go look though. These guys need to make the best choice that they can for themselves, just like we do when it comes to our life/money.

So he enters to see and explore his options while NU still makes their pitch to him. It is a win-win.

I was a little aggressive in my response. It was a horrible take by you, but my bad on overdoing it

I believe it was Diver Dan Doobie, but I knew who you were talking about so it's "close enough for jazz."
