Probably, but I’d say if the Giants lose 2 or 3 more games and are 0-5, the need to have Daniel Jones develop live NFL game experience takes precedence.

The 2001 Patriots were a mediocre team offensively with Bledsoe, and Brady was a marginal game manager who let his defense win games that first Super Bowl year. Brady didn’t really ascend to star quarterback status until his second full season, his third in the NFL.

I suspect jobs. Specifically labor-intensive jobs in meat processing plants that American citizens do not want to do for various understandable reasons.  

It’s more about media rights and broadcasts, than about merchandise sales. Television deals are the biggest revenue generator and source of financial profits.

OK. I suppose I should modify it to say that there is actual, legitimate hope that Mayfield will transform the franchise, or return the franchise to the respectability it enjoyed decades ago. if he is a true franchise quarterback.

Counterpoint - the Cleveland Browns the past two decades. They have had Pro Bowl players on their teams for years - Joe Thomas, Alex Mack, Joe Haden, Josh Gordon, etc - yet have consistently been terrible. Why? They never had a franchise quarterback.

The attorney commentator was just trying to temper expectations that this is some kind of major victory for NCAA student athletes, particularly young men of color playing college football and basketball, because there are some significant legal boundaries that universities and athletic conferences are operating within…

Right, but the article and following commentary framed it as applying Title IX to how student athletes market their likeness, which is tied to the network and cable television contracts that NCAA Power 5 football conferences have as far as media exposure.

I read that there are Title IX issues potentially at stake here.

I think it’s a situation where everyone at a work place hopes a senile, old worker decides to retire as opposed to the management having to uncomfortably fire that person.

Well said and I agree.  

How about Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, though? Stephen Miller?

Absolutely not. This is the type of game the Browns lose badly every single time, when they have every conceivable advantage.

I think he’s Melania’s only child.

Except for that whole hiding Bin Laden and Al Qaeda leaders and assets in their network of caves in Afghanistan?

I imagine what happens is that following the passage of this, a subsequent Title IX lawsuit eventually forces each individual California university to pool any athlete endorsement money into one fund, and play every male and female varsity student-athlete attending that university an equal amount annually.

No, not Ivy League. The broad American public does not care about Harvard or Yale football. They, and corporate sponsors, do however, care deeply about the Power 5 Conferences and the storied NCAA football programs, which have much higher alumni numbers, boosters, and fans than the Ivy League.

I agree, but Trump really only cares about his own base.
