He’s going to get himself some of that David Tepper, Appaloosa hedge fund money, too.

BTW. do you know why Tepper named his hedge fund Appaloosa? It is a good story and old school thinking and tells how it was back in the day before modern technology.

If Brady goes to the Panthers, do the Panthers try to work a trade with the "Bungles" for Burrow?

Cam Newton and a bunch of draft picks in 2020 and 21? Not likely at this point but if you are a Panthers fan you can dream.

Newton has a Lisfranc injury in his foot. It'll be interesting to see his mobility when he comes back. It's a really bad injury.

Gruden got 10 years, 100 million. Why they so upset about this? Seems the precedence was already set.
Gruden had won a Super Bowl. This asshat was the coach at crappy Baylor and he led them to a grand total of zero championships. An amazing resume!

No, I didn’t, so I googled it. All I could find is that he named it after the Appaloosa horse. Do you have more info?

And for the record, I think both Gruden's and Ruhle's money and contracts are insanely stupid.

Yes that is partly true but when he started his fund, they did not have the internet etc., so all the research and other things that the funds subscribed to were faxed to them first thing in the morning. Tepper discovered that they faxed the info out to their funds and subscribers in alphabetical order so he wanted to be first and chose a name that at the time put him first on the alphabetical list.

Georgia's entire offense is gone, the important parts of LSU's offense are gone, our schedule is laughably easy, Trask is back. Lots of things are lining up, next year has to be it.

Every third year of our last 4 or 5 head coaches hasn't been very good for whatever reason(imho having that transition class).

I feel we are setting unrealistic expectations based on past experiences with our own team.

They may try but I think they’d have to give up a lot and I don’t think other teams will put much value on Cam.

Well... if we get an oline we might have a chance. We ain't going to make it far being a one trick pony.
Yeah, coz LSU sure proved you cant win by passing the ball, huh?

Seriously, this is the best news of the year. No way they manage to.find someone who willing to live in Loooziana AND understands the forward oass again. Back to retard Ensinger ball, and 60th ranked offenses.

And yet Grantham will somehow figure out a way to fcuk a game or two to cost us a SEC Champ game.

Apparently, Rhule's 3 years as an nfl coach ( 2 years d-line, 1 as an o-line assistant) were very impressive.

It'll be interesting to see if Brady left a blueprint and if they have someone to similarly coach and call it along with players to execute it. As impressive as Brady was with Burrow and their receivers, I find it interesting that not much seems to be heard about the job Aranda did (unless I'm missing it), especially in the second half. Their D might not have ranked among the best statistically, but they were certainly able to consistently give the O plenty of room.
