Grimsley won. I turned the game off early in the 4th.. The refs made it unwatchable. Flags every play with five minute ref conferences to discuss all of them. The 3rd quarter took 53 minutes. HS quarters are 12 minutes. That was a three and a half hour football game that didn't go into OT with 12 minute quarters. That's basically like the first three quarters if an NFL game taking three and a half hours. Absurd. Just tell those refs their services won't be needed going forward.

Yeah, I think it's only been there for a little over 10 years or something. I graduated HS in 2000 so there's a poo ton of schools that I'm like "who???"

This is over. Clayton can't even snap the ball in the 2nd half. 21-7 and Clayton has three bad snaps resulting in fumbles in the 3rd quarter.

Grimsley up 14-7 at half. Clayton's QB can't throw at all. He's going to NC State listed as a 3* athlete. He's not playing QB in college.

Yeah, there were only 4 divisions when I was in HS. I honestly like it. Gives more teams and more kids and towns a chance to compete for championships.

Clayton put up 7 with no problem. Grimsley on notice.

Clayton straight up whooped Grimsley on the opening "drive". Grimsley ran three plays for -14 yards to go three and out.

No. Now granted, most games I "watch" its basically on in the background while I'm doing other stuff.

I love ball. Watching other people compete in athletics is kinda weird, period if we're being completely honest. If anything, it might be weirder watching adults making millions to play kids' games.

I should've posted this earlier but all the NC high school state championship football games are being streamed on YouTube. Watauga just beat Middle Creek for the 6A championship. Hough in Cornelius won the 8A game last night. Next up at 8 is the 7A game featuring Grimsley which is the #12 ranked team in the nation with the #1 QB recruit in the country.

Falcons are gonna have a chance to kick one.

Was shocked to see that Cousins stat line. 300+ yards and 3 TDs with 0 INTs? Damn good game, right. Except I was only half ass watching and it seemed like every time I looked up he was panicking and throwing the ball in the dirt like a guy who'd give anything not to get hit.

Bountygate. They gave Favre Parkinson's.

Historically? The Saints. Recently? Meh... no one has been particularly relevant enough or despicable enough to hate and we've been looking at mock drafts in October generally so...

Feels like every Bucs completion is a ball thrown his way.

Can Herbstreit please stop calling Baker "Bake"? So cringey.

Pitts playing tonight like the stud everyone expected him to be in the NFL.

A lot of this stuff floating around out there. Seems like too much smoke for there not to be at least some fire behind it. I bet LSU is pretty nervous right now. LOL

Yes please. More of this. A LOT more of this.

I think the biggest reason is the level of investment we made in him. Of he was a mid-round pick I'm not sure he would've been in the roster after his rookie season. If he was a run if the mill 1st rounder I thi k we wpulsve been looking hard to move on this past offseason. Even if he was a regular #1 overall pick I think there would've been at least legit competition brought in this past offseason. I honestly think we've been caught in a sunk cost fallacy trap for tmthree years now. I just wonder how far it was into his rookie TC that the concerning glances at each other started happening between the coaches as the raw talent issue became undeniably prevalent.

Yep, all of thus. As the old saying goes winning cures everything. But they're not winning right now and I don't see that changing with Jones out now and who knows how much of next season he might miss, plus the whole contract situation and being down two 1st rounders. It might be about to get real messy in Indy.

Evidently he was banging his assistant something happened that made the assistant go to the university and lay it all put there, they fire him as a result, and then he basically went crazy probably anticipating his life completely unraveling. Wild. Chasing that strange will make some guys do some outlandish poo. Keep it between the lines fellas. Ain't worth it.

Crazy story

The hits add up. I know he lobbied for Higgins but the Bengals really needed to let Higgins walk or trade him. With Burrow making franchise QB money and two elite paid WRs they're really hamstrung and their OL has been trash his entire career. They needed to sit him down and lay it out to him that they couldn't pay Higgins and here's the plan going forward to put an OL in front of you.
