I read the other day the USC quarterback claimed he made more money playing college ball than he would as a NFL rookie.Quote:

$5 million the right number? More? That it’s even a discussion is a sign of the times.
Guess it’s not working out, huh?
Another college team - every player is getting a pick up truck. That’s a fuck-ton of leases to give to idiot kids who will beat the crap outta them or plain forget where they left them. Crazy

So i brought up some issues related to NIL over the past few years and quite simply unless he is getting some horrible advice this wont impact Caleb at all.
Zach Charbonet RR for UCLA last year was rumored to have stayed with UCLA and got a big check to do so. I think you will see a lot of RB stick it out at the NCAA level and take the check. The fact is as a RB even if you do survive the 4/5 years in the NFL nobody is going to want to give you a check and even if they do it will be for 4-8M. Its a lot of money but its not generational. It other words it makes sense to stay at ucla fir a year and collect $1M and put off the year in the NFL.
Caleb or any other posistjon has the benefit of knowing when they make year 4-5 they get a true generational wealth playment. For Caleb it will likely be half a billion dollars. No amount of money can make putting off that check by a year at least no amount that USC or any of the local car dealerships can come up with.
USC would habe to come up with 25M plus for him to stay. Thats a far cry from $1M for a RB
I’ve been predicting and following NIL long before it was a thing. I was firmly in the camp that college athletes deserved to be paid. Remember the trite argument that scholarships were reward enough? I do. This has exceeded my vision but college athletics is huge business.Quote:

You and I had many a give and take. Someday it might be interesting to reread some of those posts as some kind of time capsule.
uh my trojies gonna turn this joint around alex grinch has his best days in front of him
Some prop ideas submitted without prejudice. We seek to provide a safe space in this channel
Parlay +103 (DK)
Under 5.5 strikeouts (LAD Bobby Miller) -155
No (ATL Max Fried) record a win -425
Single bet
Phillies team total over 3.5 -115 (FD)
Bobby Miller under is 5.5 -164 on FD… ughhhh
Playoffs are about quick hooks and Dodgers believe in their pen.
Fried coming back from a blister on his throwing hand. Long layoff/abnormal routine. He did pitch a sim outing during the Braves bye. Fried was the nuts before the blister.
Dodgers have committed to Kershaw for game 4.
Only two games and we are patiently waiting for NHL
I feel like I stole something that was so easy

real talk fuck the diamondbacks and what they did to new york after 9 11
I dunno if anyone who’s left cares about hockey.
Tues is Opening Night
Connor Bedard was the number one draft pick and he ended up with Chicago. Chicago sucked obv. Bedard is a phenom and everyone will be on him in some fashion. He’s a big deal
I’m parlaying Pittsburgh tonight and Bruins tomorrow agains the Blackhawks. FanDuel will let you do it. BOL will too. DraftKings won’t. Same team different night issues. You can do this for -115’ish
Lotta first night NHL promos and boosts. Limits vary but you should get up to $25 on 50% boosts.
Chicago is awful. I nibbled some Pitts PL +105.
I did a VGK GIFT -150 but it’s more of an educational experiment. I saw lines -200 elsewhere. Caesar’s I think.
I waited til the last minute on hockey. The lines are so messed up cause the books have no idea what the are doing with hockey

Obviously he is -ve odds for Calder trophy (Rookie of year). He will be good.Quote:

I think Cooley (Arizona), Fantilli (Columbus) and Levi (Buffalo goalie) have a shot if Bedard is injured or under performs.

Dont have the lines in front of me but early puckline leans for tonight are EDM, CAR and COL. CAR puckline will likely be -??? but the other 2 will be decent +??? lines based on ML.
Leafs over 2.5 goals is -500
It's being super boosted to +100, max of $80.
San you have anything like this for tonight?
Appreciate the heads up, my man. No, I suspect this was an offer made based on your location. I get Red Sox and Patriots boosts for similar reasons. No good teams.Quote:

I did Bruins and Leafs ML parlay last night for -120. I saw the Chicago kid goalie vs Ullmark projected. Let’s see how I get hurt tonight.
I did a YRFI and over 6.5 (alt line) in the Dodgers Diamondbacks SGP for +100. Crappy pitching on both sides. I have been betting pitching unders - outs and strikeouts - because playoff quick hooks but the market has caught on. I still might press my luck in Dodgers game even with low numbers. Two men on and Dave Roberts may get twitchy. It’s at that point. We will see.
Philly ATL is the World Series come early and I’m pumped for tonight. That’s the first thing I need to look at for betting
I’ll see if I can wrestle some time to handicap other stuff.
