7%? Had to look that up. What is actually says

SMU is better than TCU(other than football teams of course)

You’re right. SMU isn’t as good as Rice and Vanderbilt, but is it tied with Purdue and Syracuse according to US News. Not a terrible school by any means.

What did I say that was silly? And my point has been the same the whole time: Gruden’s value is what the market says it is. If ESPN wants to keep Gruden, they need pay market value. It makes sense he’s worth more than the other employees because he’s got other opportunities they don’t.

SMU is actually a very good school. Not Ivy League, but up there with Rice and Vanderbilt.

The Quantum Mechanics and Fluid Dynamics courses should’ve been a dead giveaway.

Clearly not an opinion held by ESPN, who appear to be doing quite well off MNF.

That would be counter productive to them. If they artificially inflate his market value, they’d have to pay him more. There are definitely owners out there who want a named head coach instead of an offensive/defensive coordinator no one has heard of. Looking at Jim Irsay and Stephen Ross who would probably fire their…

And in the sentence above he said it feels excessive. It’s not. It’s basic economics. If they want to keep his services, and money is his primary motivation, then that’s the price he commands.

I don’t understand the issue. Every year in January, teams are looking for new coaches and Gruden’s name inevitably comes up. ESPN isn’t paying Gruden against other broadcasters’ salaries, they’re paying against NFL head coaching salaries because that’s what is required to keep him in the booth. He has market value…

Looks like we found the solution to high school football players attacking refs.

Brady would’ve gotten the call because at his speed he would’ve still been in the pocket.

History class...Benjamin Franklin ran to France and begged for help. The American Revolution wouldn’t have happened without foreign intervention. At Yorktown(the decisive battle of the war), French troops outnumbered US troops 2 to 1.

Let me see if I understand this ad campaign...just because your brain thinks you’re gay, doesn’t mean the rest of you is gay? I guess shutting out all that ‘noise’ from the brain is something this group is good at.

Greatest regular season quarterback*

Peyton should be kept in cryogenic storage until the post-season, but the important part is that when he’s thawed out, no one is allowed to tell him it’s the post-season. He must think he’s playing regular season games.

Yes, Paul is the only one in the new testament who mentions homosexuality at all. In Romans. So 1 lord and savior, 12 apostles and only 1 dude says anything about it...why is it inconceivable that Paul was just a homophobe?
