Sandusky was arrested for being a pedo a decade before the big news break. the coverup goes beyond just the school covering up to the gov't, which we now know was also involved w Epsteen island
Who knows exactly where it all goes, we'll never know. But here is a fact, the President of PSU who threw the football program under the bus was rewarded with a top job at Mellon of NY.... and the story went away forever.

I heard today at the golf course from a source who is about as solid as one could get - Little Dan is actually running the day to day operation of the team now. Art2 is just a face. Came at the same time as Colbert leaving. If that is true, the direction under Little Dan in terms of drafting has been awesome.
Not sure if you are serious about little Dan has been awesome at drafting. This team has sucked at drafting for a while now. The 2024 draft has been a complete disaster so far.
 
Kooper Cupp is a bum now, he looks about as effective as Van Jefferson at this point in his career. Steelers should try trading for Puka Nakua instead.
 
The Rams have Kupp running 5 yard pass plays on,y it looks like…I don’t know if that’s because he’s snow or doesn’t get open, or just by design….but if Kupp can’t run at least medium routes and get open he’s useless to us lol

No what made him so good was the stuff pukka was doing yesterday he did before pukka was drafted. Pukka is the wr 1 now he is cheaper and less injury prone. He gets the cheat motion and inside quick routes. Now Kooper is a blocking wr who can’t separate often on the outside making a ton of money

4 of the first 6 were day 1 starters

Their WR room is so bad that I think even a WR who could run 5 yard routes and get open would be beneficial.

If I was the Rams, though, and Stafford magically threw for 4 TDs in a win against the 5-1 Vikings when he gets his top WRs back, I'm thinking I could go on a run and get back into the mix. So I'm not sure that Kupp is even going to be moved now.

They are 3-4 in a division where the leader is 4-3. Absolutely no reason for them to be sellers.

It’s going to be Mike Williams, which I don’t necessarily hate but am also underwhelmed with.

Yup, but it's an upgrade on the margins- meaning VJ gets less time.
That to me is a win. It's hard in this league to make significant gains. I mean look at the Jets and Adams acquisition. He's not likely to catapult them into contention.

This isn't basketball where 1 guy can dominate.
 
Plus they play Seattle the division leader next weekend. So, if the Rams win that game they will be tied with the Seahawks in record but above them due to head to head record. And they beat SF as well, so they are above them as well.

Zero reason for them to trade Kupp until at least after Week 9 and really probably none at all. Because they play the Dolphins and Patriots in Week 10 and 11. Then Philly, then the Saints.

They could very easily be 8-4, 7-5 by week 13 and leading the division.

I can kind of live with the idea that they get Williams cheap this year to be respectable and then go draft big next year. It does kind of make a mockery of all the big talk they had about going for the big one but oh well.

Feels like this is who they have to pick from in the Bargain Bin:

Mike Williams - 2025 UFA
Adam Thielen - 2026 UFA, 6.75mil for 2025 (Zero guaranteed money)
KJ Osborn - 2025 UFA
Tyler Boyd - 2025 UFA
Jakobi Myers - 2026 UFA, 11mil for 2025 (Zero guaranteed money)

Cost more than Bargain Bin but not too much:

Darius Slayton - 2025 UFA
Christian Kirk - 2026 UFA, 16.5mil for 2025 (Zero guaranteed money)
 
And that PITT game last night was nutty. They intercepted McCord 5 times and returned 3 of them for TDs. 7-0, who'd a thunk it!
That was one of the weirdest football games that I have ever watched. Zero flow to the game. I still don't know what to make of Pitt; Holstein looks like he's regressing as well.

Either get Kirk or stick with what you have since I don't see an upgrade with the other guys mentioned.

exactly. Williams is actually pretty good but injury prone

would love to see Pitt sneak into the playoffs and go against PSU
 
Pitt has 1 more hurdle left at home against Clemson depending what n how many big 12 and acc teams get in they could be a playoff team
 
I love how everybody is making a big deal about a guy they signed to the practice squad.

And I am shocked the Patriots didn't draft him.
