@Nate_Tice For sure. He happened to directly replace one of the 3 greatest QB’s of all time, and I think that suppresses people’s opinion of him. Hard to be seen as one of the greatest ever when you’re not even the greatest ever for your franchise.

yes. And is way higher on the overall all-time QB rankings than people think.

Is Steve Young the best lefty Quarterback ever?

Jeffrey Lurie said the Eagles Autism Foundation just got an anonymous check for $15 million “because they thought we did the best at evaluating what exciting research projects to invest in — and they watched our process.”
In April, the Lurie Autism Institute will announce their first founding director.
“I think Philadelphia will be the epicenter for autism research in the world,” Lurie said.

@AaronConrad essentially a perfectly constructed team. Ty Lawson was born to run Roy’s secondary break. Ellington made so many big shots. Green did everything. Thompson and Davis were great complimentary bigs. And then of course one of the best CBB players ever in Pyscho T

Every year around this time I remember that the 2009 Tar Heels basketball team rolled the tournament with an average margin of victory of 20.2 points.
One of my favorite squads in tourney history.

@MySportsUpdate This is a cool story but Lavonte David, while a very good player, does not compare to Derrick Brooks.
English
Mel Kiper Jr. on Lavonte David during the 2012 NFL Draft:
“I love Lavonte David. To me, you coached Derrick Brooks. He’s that type of player.”
David ended up in Tampa — the same team Derrick Brooks played for — and retired this week with the exact same number of tackles as Brooks: 1,714, which is tied for the most in Buccaneers history.
Pretty freaking cool.

@TomFornelli NCAA just granted Jonathan another year of eligibility.

How do we know Jonathan isn't lying about his age?

@ThatGuyRocked Still remember that game-winner he hit in the NCAA tournament against Winthrop.

@PeteThamel What’s Mars’s record against NCAA institutions? He’s gotta be cleaning up.

Update: Jerome Tang has retained Tom Mars and Bennett Speyer in the case of his firing for cause. Mars told ESPN: “If K-State’s President and AD really think the school was embarrassed by recent events, that’s nothing compared to the embarrassment that both of them are about to experience.”
Pete Thamel@PeteThamel
Per ESPN sources, Jerome Tang plans to fight Kansas State’s for cause firing. He’s owed $18.67 million, per his contact, so this not surprising. Tang told ESPN in a statement: “I am deeply disappointed with the university’s decision and strongly disagree with the characterization of my termination.... 1/3

Scheyer: "I don't know if I've been a part of a game with one foul called in a half. Obviously, we have to play stronger...
"That is not the reason we lost. But it's hard to win if you're not drawing fouls at all and we're fouling out."

We have two amazing young HC’s in the Super Bowl that both seem set up for long term success… so let’s instead talk about the only NFC team that hasn’t been the conference championship game in 30 years

@AndyStaples Yeah not sure if Lane Johnson is good enough to stay outside.

It is the most wonderful time of the year.
Who CAN play tackle according to the draftniks?
Trent Williams, Jonathan Ogden.
That's probably the list.

That time of year when everyone wants to move every college offensive tackle inside to guard.

It’s already been several years since I paid much attention to college basketball, but this crap makes me care even less.

I don’t care your thoughts on the Patriots dynasty, Bill, or his life/career since leaving NE…it’s absolutely ridiculous that he is not first ballot.

Bill Belichick, the 8-time Super Bowl-winning HC, is not a first-ballot Hall of Famer, per @SethWickersham and @DVNJr. Belichick fell short of the 40 out of 50 votes needed for induction to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…
