Quote

Ahead of what should be an epic show at UFC 194, UFC president and matchmaker Dana White picked the winners of a few hypothetical matchups that would probably break every pay-per-view record in existence if they were to actually happen. White lauded Texans star J.J. Watt’s athleticism, but picked him to lose in a heavyweight battle against Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski.

“Gronk is one of those guys who’s running down the field and they’ve got the nastiest defensive players in the league — and he’s shaking them off like they’re playing Pop Warner. I’m going to go Gronk by KO.”

White’s other picks? He likes Steph Curry over Kristaps Porzingis in what would be the upset of the century, Bill Belichick over Rex Ryan, and Tom Brady over Cam Newton.

6'2 ft, 218 lbs vs 6'6 ft, 260 lbs

Traditional QB with Zero Athleticism vs Genetic Freak with Elite Athleticism

A Natural Middleweight vs A Natural Heavyweight

Middleweight limit is 160. A 6'4 (Brady is 6'4 not 6'2) Middleweight would have freak reach and length advantage and be skinny as hell. Sugar Ray Robinson was pretty damn tall for a middleweight at 6'0. I get what you're saying just nitpicking.

Brady is NOT 6'4 ft. Cam towers over him. He may be 6'3 ft at best but 6'4 ft????? No way, Jose.

I'm referring to MMA weight classes. Brady is around 200 lbs during the season but he weighs around 188 during the off-season. Brady is a natural Middleweight.

Cam is 6'6 and Brady is 6'4. And there is literally zero possible chance Brady is 188 in the offseason or 200 during the season. He's listed at 225. May not be completely accurate but the numbers that you just pulled out of your ass are ridiculous.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
