At first I laughed about Cam. Then I remembered that I HATE when the Pats do smart things. I will feel the spectre of that dynasty haunting me for a long time. I don't want another Montana/Young situation.

Yes I have a jersey and it was bought for a time like this. I always wanted to be the guy that shows up to a game in the most random jersey. Now is my chance.

Can’t develop a receiver but cut the guy that was the best receiver in football for a month. Makes sense.

Bishop Sycamore football director on ESPN game: Program not a 'scam'

Bishop Sycamore is trending for all the wrong reasons.

A blowout loss in a game on ESPN supposedly against two elite high school football teams has drawn national attention and questions about the legitimacy of Bishop Sycamore as a football program and an educational institution.

The school claims to be based in Columbus, Ohio, though there's no address listed on the website. On Sunday, it lost to the second-ranked team in the country, IMG Academy of Florida, 58-0.

Andre Peterson, who played for Jim Tressel at Youngstown State in the 1980s, is Bishop Sycamore's founder, director and currently coaches the football team's offensive and defensive lines.

On Tuesday, he told USA TODAY Sports that the football coach, Roy Johnson had been fired Sunday after the game. Peterson also defended Bishop Sycamore's purpose of giving players a better chance of playing college football and denied any inkling of a "scam" related to Sunday's game or Bishop Sycamore.

"If it’s a scam and the kids are not going to school and not doing what they’re supposed to do, then I’m literally scamming myself. And most importantly, I’m hurting my own son. So when people say stuff like that … I would literally be taking my son’s future and throwing it in the trash."

In addition to lacking basic information about the school, Bishop Sycamore's website looks more like a football blog with advice on how to be recruited.

"We have to make sure that website also includes the academic part of it. There’s things that you learn," he said. "There’s growing pains that you have. We realized that’s an issue. The reality of it is we’ve caused some of the questions by not doing some of the things that should have been done before. So that’s understandable. I totally get that.

“We have to make it an actual school website.”

However, the Ohio Department of Education lists no charter school for 2021-22 by the name Bishop Sycamore, and last year the department listed Bishop Sycamore as a "non-chartered, non-tax supported school," a type of school that "because of truly held religious beliefs, choose to not be chartered by the State Board of Education."

On multiple occasions, Peterson said the school has existed for four years, only to later say it was founded in 2019.

When asked why Bishop Sycamore's listed address is a P.O. box, he said the school's actual location is private to protect students who were harassed at their pre-pandemic location. Bishop Sycamore rents space in a building in the Easton neighborhood of Columbus, according to Peterson.

"Prior to COVID, the design of it is they go into the building, they have their computers, they sit down, they do their classes, we have some (adults) that are there that monitor what they do," Peterson said.

WHAT. THE. f***.

Fulgham and JJAW both suck. At least JJAW is a little bit younger so who knows maybe he will turn into a red-zone threat or something. The birds have Reagor, Watkins, and Smith seemingly set up for the top three spots with Ward and JJAW coming in in different packages along with Ertz (for now) and Goedert. Whether they cut JJAW or Fulgham makes no difference.
