Go Irish! COYG!
Based on some later reporting, the proposed deal was heavily backloaded. Having a $2m or similar contract in 2028 and 2029 when the cap may not go up might not be doable.

Based on the little information that is public, I assume it's related to how much the contract "scales up" in the final years of the contract

I assume how much it "scales up" is likely the leagues sticking point. Obviously we have no idea what it's starting at and then jumping to at the end of the deal.

Do we know they just offered her a "normal" contract worth a third of the cap? Or is it possible they tried some Dodgers style deferred compensation thing that isn't explicitly banned in the CBA?

It definitely doesn't, but the teams involved wouldn't have time to schedule friendly opponents since the semifinals were only a month ago. I'm guessing it's just so they can play two quality games this window.

Did not expect to be reminded of the Current game yesterday when starting this morning's pod but appreciate the condolences

Notre Dame hockey has a Peacock deal for all of their home games. No clue why that can't expand to every Big 10 game.

September Maryland lasted until halftime of the first October game. Could climate change be a reason why? Will September Maryland last until mid-October in future seasons?

I'm going to fewer games the second half of this year but that's entirely because I moved from KC to Denver in July. Still keeping my Current season ticket for next year and will plan a few trips back around games. Will also be attending a bunch of Summit games next season.

He was my first favorite Royals player and I was devastated when he got traded

Is it actually heat or just waiting for the WNBA game to finish on CBS?

She only wanted to join the Teal Rising Cup winners

Generally agreed, but this was called offside live. The review just confirmed it was correct.

I'm reading we need a 5 yard facemask penalty equivalent but for hair grabbing/pulling
