my read: they would have cut him after the thing with the stripper, but they thought he was better than taylor heinicke.

now they know he's not.
also, you guys are reading this wrong. i wasn't talking about washington releasing him. we knew that was going to happen before 2021 started. i'm saying it's possible he may never spend a full season on anyone's roster ever again. ask paxton lynch about it
my other haskins thought: once you decide you wanna go to the grownup league, you gotta be grown. period.

some guys aren't built to leave college early. haskins passed on two years of eligibility. possible he should've used em, even if i can't blame him for getting the money.
the dude had FIFTY touchdown passes in his one year as a starter. wasn't ready for the nfl, but cmon now.
i mean, that's certainly gonna be part of it. but even white dudes like lynch can disappear quickly.

now we're talking about haskins, who's been deemed to have questionable work ethic. yeah, good luck to him.
now, get ready for the leaks on haskins. there will be a lot, i reckon.

something that may seem obvious but some should probably hear: anyone who was the first _____ at _____ was a bad, bad man. had to be.
when i was growing up, i hung out a lot at the barbershop right near prairie view's campus. i'd be there just about every day for a while, and all the older professors got haircuts there. one was a dude named professor stewart.
prof. stewart didn't have much reason to go to the barbershop, but mr. kirby would always comb his hair up and cut it like mr. clarence cut cuba gooding's hair in coming to america. scissors moving, but no hair hitting the ground.

prof. stewart would get up and pay with a check.

his career, going back to virginia tech, has had such an interesting arc. i'm not sure when he's caught a break.
gets to virginia tech as a five-star recruit. shares the job with sean glennon as a freshman (tangent: if you want to see a game where it seems like the defense has 15 players, check out va tech-lsu from 2007).
plan was to redshirt him in '08, but tech lost to east carolina in their first game, and the line was too bad for glennon to do anything behind it.

sooooo welcome back, tyrod. that's...not really a good break for tyrod. you get to play because you're fast enough to save yourself

every word kevin says in this quote is true
something folks probably can't get from watching on tv is how the former athletes who are now my colleagues take the same approach and pride in their work from the field and use it in broadcasting. and they're *much* more open to critique than us "real" journalists.
and @Foxworth24 isn't just jumping on tv talking. he's hitting the road, doing magazine features, something i personally wouldn't have had the confidence to do until very recently. a rare talent indeed.

last time i saw kyle allen play, he was no better than haskins. but alas.
what’d he ever do to you?
re: haskins, this is also what happens when the folks who drafted you move on. daniel jones won’t see the pine as long as gettleman is there, for example.

soooo if someone in cuba, who wanted to live at home but wished it was better, complained about his country, would you tell that person to be quiet?
armando, do you know what "amendment" means?
you should read up on this thing called the dred scott decision.
