UGA just lost its series with UCLA, to be replaced by a home game with ... Marshall.

I know UCLA isn't a powerhouse, but they at least were P5, er, 4, er, whatever they are now.

Good luck getting any kid to sign at $600 and a copy of the game going forward

Here we are.

A 19 year old from a very wealthy family who hasn't played a down plays chicken with a video game for more money.

2024 in a nutshell.

absolute insanity to me that EA actually paid a backup QB that hasn't played a down 50 grand to be in the game.

if it was like a Heisman trophy winning stud that was going to have a 99 OVR rating like Caleb Williams, OK makes sense. you have to have that guy in the game imo.

Arch might wind up sucking. we still don't even know if the kid can play.

To be fair, with the 10-year absence and all the excitement for it, the game will probably make $1 billion+ in the next couple of months....

This year?  Yes.  Going forward, now that they know EA doesnt actually mean it when they say "the offer is the offer"?  Nope, its done

They could just offer a create-a-player and then the kid would have no leverage.

Manning has technically played a few downs, he was 2-5 against Texas Tech last year.

One could say that garbage time play isn't much of an anything.

poor decisions are made every day by people that make much more money than I

good for the kid for getting that deal, perhaps his agent is good at what he does

I had to sit quietly in meetings and listen to someone 4 levels above me make a clearly very bad and costly decision, and those 3 levels above me head nodding, even the ones who understood it was a bad and costly decision.

Once I was asked for my "opinion", I was asked whether what the VP had been saying about how great their patents were was true, and I responded "No.".

I got transferred pretty quickly at that point, probably with prejudice.  They had ZERO patents of any kind, and no applications pending or in the works, they had nothing.
