Other Sports: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): Love, Hurts - Super Bowl LIX Champions (Jojo's Favorite Time Of The Year - Combine)

What a stupid ass business model.

And you were right earlier, this whole thing just Streisand Effected how completely flawed their entire operating model is. Just paying out the $12k would have saved them so much money in the long run, unless their margins are so crap they were already bankrupt. Which, actually might be the case.

Again, why would anyone trust this company? The business model is pretty transparent in its grift

PropSwap tried to monetize a thing that has existed for years on the honor system.

From personal experience, I can tell you of at least three major interchanges where tickets have been exchanged since the 90s — one based on the floor of the NYSE, one in Vegas, and one purely online. If you welched, you were banned.

There is absolutely no reason to use them if they don’t cover situations like this unless you’re a seller who can’t find people on your own.

That's what I'm saying. "The honor system" is code for grift. Even though I'm not a fan of sports betting (mainly because of how heinous the companies/ads are, not the hobby itself), at the very least these books are reputable in their practices, insurances, and regulations. Use those, not the guys saying "we promise"

I understand why you might think that. But don’t even give them that much credit.

It took ~14 months for me to get my account balance from Full Tilt Poker after Black Friday and looked for much of that like I would never see it. Another site took 4 years to get me my balance.

Unless it’s an established brick and mortar business, good luck. It’s a crapshoot.

I don’t follow nfl draft prospects. So…which prospects would fit a “best case scenario” for the Eagles with their 1st RD pick?

There really aren't any. The Tier 2 guys aren't making it to 32, so it's a question of which particular risk you want to take. There will be wildly different answers that are all reasonable. It wouldn't surprise me if there are 15 names I would consider logical picks at 32.

I don’t know with the situation that was surrounding him beforehand but talent wise probably was a draftable talent this draft.

He apparently committed suicide. He was due in court in a few days after killing someone while recklessly driving on the wrong side of the road & fleeing the scene.

I feel like there’s more of a chance they trade up than down from 32. They have so many picks coming over the next 2 drafts that roster spots will be something to watch.

Now they might move up and then also trade down later like they did last year on Days 2 and 3. That kinda counts as both.

I mean, it's tough listening to Exceptionally Stupid Person for anything, but at least this is reporting a verifiable fact, there should be at least some way to confirm the details without relying on his say-so.

Starks continues an excellent list for me.

There are some guys in there where I might not love them at expected value, but would after a trade down. Also a couple I need to watch. I've certainly got my favorites of that bunch, but the list fits their profiles and seem like solid bets.

The most concerning one is probably Tyleik Williams, but that's just because I haven't seen any meaningful pass rush juice and they'd probably have to take him either at 32 or after a trade down. A big trade down or the end of R2 is a different story.

I still don't know what the hell to do with Scourton. He's the guy I wanted them to bring in most just to get a better feel. It's not like Purdue is terrible competition, but I assumed he gained weight last year because his build looked different and it dragged his play to hell. Now he says he was the same weight, but it was a different body comp. What the hell happened here?

2023 Scourton is top 10 tape in this draft. The 2024 version is a Round 3 guy for me. 🤷

It's literally take your pick at 32. Nolen is 1 for me right now if he slides. Then it's literally any one of Burden, Scourton, Revel, Morrison, Donovan E., Conerly, Zabel, both safeties and I'ma a happy camper. Think you take the dice roll on Scourton cause 2023 was just so good and you assume 2024 was all Elko.

Going back afk until draft night. Stupid board upgrade killed my motivation with all the posts gone :(

Did you happen to catch that Mike (not Nate) Tice has Conerly his OL1 in this draft? I feel like all of Campbell, Membou, Simmons, and Conerly are completely defensible at the top depending on what you want.

I don't watch any tape, so I sit back and rely on Jojo, China, DP, and others to do my thinkin' for me on the draft.
