…..it’s beginning. As the walls close in, he’ll only get more and more dangerous. It’s about to pop off

Even the next tier of dudes β€”Β Ngongba, Stirtz, Yaxel, Mullins, Steinbach, Quaintance, Peat β€”Β are all going to have long NBA careers

That's now 17 players, btw. Just an insane level of talent. This draft and the 2027 NFL Draft will completely change the NBA and the NFL for the next decade

For now, those Top 6 guys are in the top tier, and every single one has all-star potential

Those next 4 are all on that next tier alone and should be considered as franchise starters

Been a big debate across social media about everyone's Top 10 prospects for the 2026 NBA Draft, so here's mine

1. Darryn Peterson
2. Cameron Boozer
3. Caleb Wilson
4. AJ Dybantsa
5. Kingston Flemings
6. Mikel Brown
7. Labaron Philon
8. Keaton Wagler
9. Darius Acuff
10. Nate Ament

They're all great

NBA Expansion is happening soon, so we'll have an expansion draft that will send everyone into a tizzy

However β€” it won't be the end of the world. I did a quick mock below using Spotrac's guidelines and this is the best 12-man roster I could build while staying under the cap

No more than 36 wins

Trey Lance is the never-ending nightmare that will haunt draft nerds πŸ˜‚

Still have no idea what the hell happened there

I’m curious about the inverse of this!

Like, of drafted QBs, who had the lowest negative play rates? I’m curious what their hit rates are like (probably much higher) but which ones were the big misses?

09.02.2026 22:04 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

I think its a really good list cause

1. Mid-to-late round QBs with a lot of negative plays aren’t gonna work out and aren’t worth the time
2. The exceptions match the eye test/consensus board despite their flaws. It was mostly obvious Baker, Jayden and Lamar wouldn’t stink and they haven’t

Now this is a realllllly good list

Mostly mid-to-late-round busts on here. But what's clear is the very few who were 1st rounders were all hits!!! (we'll see on Ward)

The one exception is Kenny Pickett and everyone who knew ball knew that was a wasted pick

09.02.2026 21:35 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

For me the top 4 are unimpeachable β€”

1. Prince
2. Michael Jackson
3. U2 after 9/11
4. Dre, Snoop, Kendrick, Eminem, etc. in LA

After that, it's more personal preference and I'd go with the criminally underrated Coldplay, BeyoncΓ©, and Bruno Mars set at Super Bowl 50

Really the only recent Halftime Shows that have been failures were Maroon 5, Justin Timberlake, and the Black Eyed Peas

But The Weeknd got very close (not really his fault, COVID-19 Super Bowl) as did Madonna

Think I'd have Bad Bunny in the 8-12 range of the 36 major Super Bowl Halftime Show performances

Group him with Rihanna, Kendrick, Bruno Mars, and Paul McCartney. Which is to say β€” a major star did a very good job and what was expected of them without going to an all-time level. Good stuff!

Back to the sports side of things, surprised how that game played out *exactly* how we thought it would β€” Seattle defense puts Drake Maye in hell, easy win by double digits

While Maye needs criticism for how he played, the gameplan was terrible. Both Vrabel and McDaniels were asleep at the wheel

Just by going off career success, who *should* be the next Halftime Show β€”Β 

1. Taylor Swift
2. Adele
3. Ariana Grande

Metallica, Mariah Carey, Drake, Dua Lipa, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish, and Harry Styles are the next tier. Styles has a new album this year, so he might be the safe bet for 2027

Overall, I'd give the entire Super Bowl slate last night a 5/10

Terrible commercials and a bad game were offset by good musical performances from the anthems to the halftime show. If not for Green Day, Brandi Carlisle, Charlie Puth, and Bad Bunny β€” that would've been an all-time culture stinker

Do think it would be very funny if the next Super Bowl Halftime Show is actually the one Taylor Swift wants to do cause uhhmmmm don't think Turning Point USA will be running it back if that's the case!

Overall β€” this has been of the most predictable Super Bowls in recent memory

- Patriots offense didn’t show up, Seattle beatdown
- Halftime show was perfectly fine! Harmless and fun!
- Commercial situation is all-time terrible

We knew all this would happen!

This site is going to be amazing during the Super Bowl, trust me. It was awesome last year and numbers have doubled since then

But also β€” following the guidance of current day ESPN on social media strategy is….not something I would do!!
