When Richardson first started for Florida, all of the SEC fans thought WOW, OMG Florida is going to dominate, because they just found a clone of Cam Newton who can throw like Brett Farve. But it didn't happen. He was never a great college QB and Florida started losing games. Maybe he's had bad coaching, or maybe he isn't mentally quick enough to recognize the defenses or whatever, but there was a huge sucking sound coming from Gainesville the past two years. At best, I think he's a project.

ESPN aired the game footage as part of a highlight segment on SportsCenter, and the video was then posted on its YouTube page.
To date [NOVEMBER 18, 2009], the video has been viewed 1,275,126 times and generated 1,889 user comments. No video from that same day has been watched even 8,000 times. The closest was the Play of the Day video featuring a LeBron James slam dunk , viewed 7,160 times (with five comments attached to it).
Quote: gordonm888Quote: tuttigymAnybody watch the NFL combine? gordon888 you may want to revisit your assessment of S. Bennett. According to the professionals commentary, he was a rock star.
Bennett 40 yd dash = 4.67: Mahomes 40 yd dash =4.80: Josh Allen 40 yd dash= 4.75
Bennett ball velocity = 59 MPH: Mahome = 60 mph: Allen = 62 mph: Drew Brees =52 mph: Average QB in NFL= 54mph
Bennett threw the ball easily 68 yds in the air on the deep routes hitting his receivers in stride 2 of three times.
His arm TALENT was remarkable. IMO C J Stroud was the overall best, but Bennett more than held his own. BTW he is over an inch and a half taller than Bryce Young.

I watched 3 days of the NFL combine, but not Saturday when the QBS were worked out. In all of the many NFL network's summaries of the QB workouts, I never heard Stetson Bennett's name mentioned once. Not once. It was mostly Anthony Richardson, CJ Stroud and Will Levis and that Hendon Hooker had a favorable medical assessment. But I have a low assessment of the quality of the NFL network's broadcasters -they seemed like they were sticking to the opinions of the draft class they had coming into the combine workouts.
Tuttigym, what round do you think Bennett will be drafted in?
link to original post
Thanks for your response. Somehow the "commentators" believe that Richardson's 4.4 40 yd dash was absolutely definitive as to his abilities to become a NFL qb "star." As far as, the "network summaries" you heard, it seems to be about the "beauty contest" I spoke about in a previous post. Comments on the spot at the actual workouts were very positive and actually glowing.
I believe Bennett will have an additional opportunity to show his skills at the Georgia Pro Day later this month. The only average tosses he made were on the quick out patterns for the goal line offense. They were catchable but somewhat off target. Levis wasn't much better. Only Stroud was truly accurate.
I, personally, am hopeful he will be drafted in Round 2, but player personnel directors have not been all that accurate in past drafts based on "beauty contest" assessments. Round 3 is my guess.

Totally disagree. I’m sure he was informed they were moving on from him. He could have taken the high road and thanked everyone; made a nice retirement speech, and had a lifetime job as ‘special consultant’. Instead he looked like a spoiled brat not getting what he wants.
Personality aside, his coaching strategies had become obsolete and he refused to adjust, in a way that’s refusing to do the job and forcing the employer to fire him
I dunno - they went 18-10 and lost in the Regional Semifinal in 2021
his last 2 years have not been good
always sad to me when someone who has given that much for so long doesn't leave on good terms
a look back at his career - really impressive:
10 Big East regular season Conference Championships
5 Big East Tournament Championships
34 NCAA Tournament appearances
5 Final Four appearances
3 appearances in the National Title Game winning once

Agree but like SooPoo said he refused to leave on good terms.
Not really surprised unfortunately. He was one of my favorite players for a while, never seemed like a great human being though. Sonics teams with him, Payton, Shrempf, Hawkins, Nate McMillan, and Sam Perkins have to be one of the more talented teams not to ever make the finals. Shrempf and Perkins both would have been better in todays game than they were the way it was played 30 years ago as well.
the link is quite interesting - to me anyway - it shows how the 3 point attempt has changed the NBA game
in 1979 when it was first put in there were only an average of three 3 point attempts per game
gradually, players started practicing it, getting better at it, and now there are on average 34. 3 three point attempts per game
the no. of per game 3 point attempts has increased in 15 of the last 20 years
the overall 3 point % is currently .360
the overall 2 point % is currently .474
in 100 shots on average the 3 point shooters will score 108 points
in 100 shots on average the 2 point shooters will score 95 points
even though so many of the 2 point attempts are dunks or very close in shots
the 3 point % did not hit .300 until 1986
it hit .359 in 1994 and really hasn't climbed since - again, now at .360

In high school, my coach would bench anyone taking a shot from what is now three-point range. Our defenses were geared toward keeping the ball out on the perimeter. Our offense was usually 3-4 passes to get someone open in the 12-15 foot range.
We mostly played a deliberate, much more physical style than today's high school games. My coach was very big on boxing out the opponents best players.

He wrestled a few matches as a pro under Dwayne Johnson, but he really took off as Flex Kavana. I believe some of his early matches have disappeared as he was underage for many of them.

Can’t bet on ‘voted’ outcomes in N.Y. like the Oscars. There are definitely offshore options that have Oscars markets. Like most betting options, the general public (like me!) would tend to lose betting on wrestling. There will certainly be winners that have some access to information the general public doesn’t.

How long would it be before wrestlers were fixing scripted matches? An accidental kick really connecting on an unsuspecting performer and the wrong guy collects from the Winners Window. Can you prosecute an actor for blowing his lines or missing his mark?

No betting on scripted outcomes goes way back. Back in the day some casino offered bets on who shot JR. IIRC Nevada Gaming told them to stop. Reason is both people knew the outcome and the outcome was controlled. Oscars are not "controlled."
WWE might be seeing how sports betting has increased people caring about other sports so the want some of that. I have to say I could see them wanting this more in the Kayfabe era. But today they do not even pretend matches are real. If they allow betting on WWE what's next? Betting on the Globetrotters?
off the subject a little bit
I wouldn't call myself a fan but I do watch the replays
I believe that some of them are truly great athletes to do this kinna thing
I also believe there has to be a lot of pain involved - people think that because it's fake - it doesn't hurt - that cannot possibly be true
this stuff would be a lot better if they got rid of the stupid stuff - like hitting your opponent with a chair
why is there a referee if that's allowed - so dumb
and also the very long sequences of trash talk - talking tough- it's terrible
last night I was watching a replay and to win the guy had to lock his opponent in a metal cage on the floor - really, really bad
and guys coming into the ring to help their partners when they're not part of the match - awful, awful stuff
it would be so much better if they just made it look like a real match without all of this crap

It is very hard on the body. Bruno Sammartino dropped the title because he could not keep it up. And he has been dead for years but is still in better shape than most of us here! They teach you to take very little impact on falls but you are still taking impact. It used to be worse when they worked 6-7 house shows a week. The road travel alone took it out of many of them.

That was not as bad even in the 80s. But to outdo themselves they have to keep raising the bar. I have not watched 15 minutes of actual show since the end of the Monday Night Wars and even then it was rare. But in the 80s I watched quite a bit. From what I understand back then it was more "improv" than the script they have now. Just basic instructions then run with it.
Not that it was not planned. Jessee Ventura recently admitted he got Tito Santana's OK to call him "Chico Santana." I have heard other things like that but they escape me at the moment.All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others
Of course you can bet on the award shows, or even if Aliens will visit us by x date. That's mostly offshore or in other countries, someome can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think those Britts can legally bet on just about anything, and they do.Quote: billryanQuote: lilredrooster.

I dont understand why you say "If someone wants to bet on a WWE match, they don't deserve to keep their money." You dont think there could be +EV opportunities there? Assuming the same vig, what's the difference between betting on various sports vs WWE?
Not to mention, there are occasionally novelty bets like this, and with some research and investigation, you will know the outcome, so you can lock up free money.
FYI, You already can bet on WWE at some reputable offshore joints. Here you go...

I totally get Axel's point about there may be ways to make money from this
and also from promos and arbitrage and other similar stuff
free money is great
but to me sports betting is a game
the essence of the game is can you or can you not predict an outcome often enough to be profitable
nothing equals that in terms of the joy of playing the game - which could be considered in some ways similar to playing Chess
getting a $10 bonus because I bet $100 doesn't in any way light my fire - if I can beat hoops or the MLB or the NFL by predicting - I feel good and I'm proud
.
lighting fire or not. What light's my fire is when you can get down $500 on something where you already know the outcome. That's only $500 worth of fire to the average person, however, to me, ill.do whatever I can to make that worth much more. I may have a few friends I can cut a deal with{2, 5, 10, 20, 30. Friends) .

That's a long story, but for the most part, I do enjoy playing just about any sport. I enjoy watching and +EV sports betting. I will even make an occasional small (a few hundred)-EV sports bet on a big game/ event/ match. I just no longer have a "passion" for it. I can assure you, I certainly never had the passion that you or many do. In fact, I dont really care to watch most sports. I really only enjoy MMA/Boxing/ FootBall. As of late, I have been watching a lot of MMA, Boxing, and XFL, but I don't go too far out of my way to do so.Quote: lilredroosterQuote: AxelWolflighting fire or not.

How did he respond to those chants? He DOMINATED the game!
He’ll be the number 3 or 4 pick in the draft. They will get him mentorship from a star player to help him navigate the NBA. I heard that player will be Ja Morant.
He’s not playing well (for him) imo, pressure is getting to him. I mean he’s the first guy picked in the NBA draft that’s on college right now, other top 4 prospects not playing college, he is going to dominate most of this competition no matter what unless he can’t keep it together at all. He’s just a different type of player than the competition, that combination of handle, length, and shooting just isn’t normal.
I’d trade ANY player in the league for him! Except maybe Jokic.
the link explains why Miller was not charged with a crime
being a suspicious person by nature I don't think that's the whole story
I think it's possible the Alabama DA had some interest in preserving the glory of the Alabama basketball team in their quest for immortality
I could be wrong - but I don't think so

Quote: SOOPOOI’ve seen all the Wembanyama highlight reels. He does look like he’s different from any player I’ve ever seen. The NBA will be having a lottery to see who gets him. I think if I owned a fringe playoff team like the Pelicans, Hawks, Jazz, etc…, I’d rather miss the playoffs to get even a small chance at Wembanyama.

He’s different. I worry some because historically many players that height have chronic foot injuries that seriously alter their careers, but that’s probably no concern 7 years or so.

Victor Wembanyana is now listed as 7'5" with a wingspan of 8 feet. He can play like a guard - dribbling, quick and mobile, 3 pointers, jump shots with an incredibly high release, dunks without jumping at all. He is skinny but has a strength coach who is working on his physique. He has a physician advising him, as well as a top NBA shooting coach.
I can't remember any other prospective athlete in any sport looking as if he was so far above the field of current pros.
It would be ideal for the NBA if he somehow landed on the Knicks.
he is very, very thin - he needs to bulk up before he hits the NBA - the NBA is rough - if he goes in that thin he's going to get injured for sure

Joe Pepitone, they called him Pepi, was a fun fan favorite and a talented player for the Yankees - he has just passed - R.I.P.

Yes, my dad was a wrestling coach and I started wrestling at 7 years old so I may be a little biased.

Used to love that tournament. Got the wrestler roommates out of the apartment. But then stripper ads all over the place when they got back.
