My mom grew up a Packers fan. I remember us having a The Pack Is Back bumper sticker on the ol family wagon when they hired Bart Starr as their head coach. The Milwaukee Sentinel Journal was their big city newspaper.

I'm back online.
On Thursday I had my cancerous prostate removed. The suture sites are still quite painful and I get to pee in a bag for the next week and a half, but hey, I'm now cancer free without all of that awful chemo and radiation stuff.

These two paragraphs from tommybiden's link are delicious that ends with an amazing chef's kiss:
Buyout totals are subject to change in certain circumstances; for example, if Kelly or Franklin land new jobs, the schools that fired them owe them less money. Napier's contract with Florida, on the other hand, did not include offset language, and half of his buyout is owed to him within 30 days of his firing.
Kelly's buyout is the second largest in college football history, behind Texas A&M's record $76 million buyout of Jimbo Fisher in 2023. Both coaches were hired by current LSU athletic director Scott Woodward, who ran the Texas A&M athletic department from 2016 to 2019.

It's not like that kind of money is needed elsewhere like feeding families on SNAP that are about to lose that program because the majority party of this country claims that the minority party are the ones that actually control government. (Murc's Law proven yet again!

I'm sure there's got to be a "actively looking for a new coaching job and when you do get a new coaching job, our payments to you cease" clause in these contracts?

These programs have the opportunity to do the funniest thing possible: lure Belichick away from UNC to a "real football school". Or LSU hire James Franklin and Penn State hire Brian Kelly.

It would be interesting to know if Billups was a habitual gambler during his playing games. Organized crime is very good at getting its hooks into pro athletes that gamble, and lose, a lot. It would be strange thinking if he somehow decided just now to work with a crime syndicate this late in his life.

Am I crazy to think that once the Heels dig their way out of this Blichick mess that they should go after Franklin? I mean, James Franklin is clearly a great coach and he could do a great job in Chapel Hill. He may not win, or even get them to, a championship game, but at least they would be winning at least 10 games every season.

I was told by an old timey gambler to bet only on an underdog and only then if you feel that they will actually win the game. Also, *never ever* bet on parlays. They are nothing but sucker bets and only chumps put money on them.
When "sports wagering" arrived in NC a year or two ago, I put $100 in an account and have been playing with that money ever since then. I think I'm back up to close to that. But then again, I follow that guy's advice and hardly ever gamble.

Good for him. He still makes a ton of money per season but gives Edmonton 2 seasons to get their shit together and get him and the other stars on the team some real help in other positions. "Can't do it in the next 2 seasons? Later."

LOL. Coach Franklin is sticking around through the end of *that* contract. It's just amazing to me that schools will give out a contract like that. At the very least, there should be some numbers to hit before a coach gets that kind of payout just for getting fired.

That gigantic load hitting the inside of his pants right now is McJesus's agent. Speaking of the Earlers, they have to be the happiest people on this planet for locking up the, arguably, second best player in the NHL for 8 years, $14 million AAV. McJesus will surely get about $21 million per season from *someone*. All that being said, ain't no way is Kaprizov worth $17 million per season.
