Floyd Mayweather Jr. made hundreds of millions off realizing this. He was an exciting boxer in his early days but watching his dad and uncle struggle with the effects of taking thousands of punches to the head he realized he was skilled enough to good guys without putting himself at risk and he'd just wait for other elite guys to lose a step before facing them. The whole WWE-esque "Money" persona was built around the realization that it doesn't matter if they're watching to see you win or watching hoping you'll lose, all that matters is that they're watching. Force them to love you or hate you, just make sure they care enough to tune in. We had a similar situation with Cam. Everyone felt some kinda way about Cam. You couldn't find many NFL fans who were neutral on Cam Newton. It was love or hate but either way it was must see TV.

Bryce ain't it but going after Shedeur as the answer? LOL! Good lord... If he continues to play well he's not gonna be available and if he doesn't then why would we want him anyway?

I can't stand ND and this is basically me watching all this unfold

I'm rooting for the guy but honestly wouldn't be counting on him to be a contributor if I'm Dan Morgan. If he ends up bouncing back and contributing, great! If not, well we've already planned for this.

If I'm Mahomes I'm swinging on receivers after this game. Good lord at the drops concluding with Kelce literally handing a pass to a DB.

The NFLPA pushed for less contact in practices to cut down on injuries but I'm not sure it's working out that way. There's a fine line you gotta walk between practicing too hard and getting your body ready to play. Football players have to have contact, fighters have to spar. You can overdo it but if you underdo it that's not gonna work either.

The officials are having a rough night so far tonight. Yeesh.

Caleb Williams had a really nice drive and then...

Remember how we played after "victory Monday"? Now you wanna flirt with a "victory week"?

If you're not in the running for a bye you're better off not having to play in a championship game. fuged up but true. And I know they say that championship game losses aren't held against you but that's bullshit unless it fits what they already wanted to do (Bama in). If Miami had played last night and lost they'd be out along with BYU and ND would've been in. The whole "championship game losses don't hurt you" narrative would've died an awful death. LOL

There was probably a dozen pages of bickering about it. LOL

Please don't do that. That's usually a recipe for coming out flat and rusty.

There are no dead horses safe in your presence this afternoon. LOL

There's four games left and the two teams vying for the division will play each other in two of them. The team that deserves to go will go. Both us and the Bucs completely control their own destiny with the way the schedule will play out.

I feel bad for the ND seniors who didn't realize they'd played their last football game.

I mean, I agree but c'mon this dead Shedeur horse has been beat to death.

It's time to tell those douchbags to join a conference or get fuged.

Just when you thought delusional entitlement couldn't possibly get worse, the current Champion of Delusional Entitlement raises the bar. LOL

Seems like that's the case more often than not.

Still looks pretty good even if he is. He could still easily play for a decade plus.

How did the Bucs not pick that off?

Shough looks legit. The two best looking rookie QBs in this class were drafted at #25 and #40. Just something to keep in mind in April next year.

VERY

Wow. And then the Saints get away with blatant DPI on 3rd and 13. Panthers catching a TON of breaks this year whether we're playing or not. LOL

Oh wow. Egbuka just dropped a wide open TD for the Bucs.
