Wrong. Baldinger said he would replace Milton Williams and be better. People were gushing over his 40 time.

There were articles like this saying Watt 2.0

Or like this that he was a steal of the draft

The Philadelphia Eagles could have a steal on their hands with their rookie, who CBS Sports expects to be an impactful player in 2025.

Just google "Ty Robinson steal of draft” and see how many articles and videos come up about laughable expectations.

Like I said may ne a bust but nobody said Nast Nate last year. No revisionist history

He was mentioned beyond plenty in summer of 2025. Which is why I said he was last years Nasty Nate. Him coming up now has nothing to do with anything.

I don't think you understand the concept of it. People nominate a player during camp when they get hyped. Usually it's a major project like the guys from Africa or an UDFA. Talking about it a year later isn't Nasty Nate

I think people who are left-leaning politically would be disappointed to find out the political association of most of their favorite athletes on their favorite teams, specifically 90% of Phillies players.

Nah. We know wealth leans right. That is nothing new. We knew Biden was nothiing special, but we also knew his mediocrity was better than the incumbent's "me before everyone else". More flexibility than MAGA. Used to be both parties had more flexibility and willingness to cooperate. MAGA is unquestionably anti-cooperation. Dems not far behind as time goes on, As for the Phillies, if what you declare is true, then their disappointing play mirrors the disappointing impacts of their political affiliations. Maybe if they leaned left they'd play better, like the Dodgers or the Eagles.

Stop the politics. Mod 6 said so.

I understand the concept plenty. I just think there should be a winner every year regardless of the field, just like every other award.

And I was saying the same thing after 4 games when he was inactive every single time, not just a year later. He was overly praised and glazed and did jack ish.

Nasty Nate winner every year for me is Jalen Hurts based on that criteria.

Avalanche blew a 3-0 lead tonight at lost 5-3. Vegas now leads the series 3 games to none.

@HazletonEagle I’m guessing you’re pretty proud that Carter Hart is on the edge of starting in goal in the Stanley Cup Finals.

Don’t forget Tortorella

Already forgotten. He did a terrible job with the Flyers. He’s obviously better suited to coach a more experienced team, though.

Gonna be an interesting year. You can tell from the AJ Brown hate that the Hurts glossers are worried. If NE goes to a Super Bowl and Hurts struggles, their worst fears are realized.

The Panthers went 6-10 in 2016 after riding one of the easiest schedules in history to a 15-1 record in 2015. I foresee the same type of season for NE this year. They’re my pick to backslide to an 8-9 season — even though it’s hard to imagine they won’t rack up 4 victories over the Jets and Dolphins

I really enjoy reruns of The Drew Carey Show.

Something about the 95-05 era of sitcom television that captured a moment in time. It feels like looking back into another dimension.

Tortorella was an idiotic hire from the get go. He is not a coach you hire when you're rebuilding with a young core, they should've gotten gallant when they had the chance.

I have higher hopes for Weru. Uar just doesn't appear to move well at all. He may be a linear athlete but not a football athlete. He should probably just be in strong man competitions. In football, seems OL would be not suitable for him. But, we will see...

I feel like DT is perfect for a linear athlete. Does it help if they can move? Of course. But throwing him in the A gap and saying "destroy everything in front of you" seems to fit that type of athlete, at least until he can figure out how to become a football athlete

Nasty Nate award is felt in your heart. Not some formulaic equation.

7 Days

One week until Howie has yet another draft with multiple 1’s to play with

Maybe a linear athlete can survive as a run stuffing NT, but DTs need change of direction or else the QBs and RBs escape them in the backfield. And pass rush moves also involve quick lateral movements.

Then name it something else if you want to change it from what it's historically been. At the very least it's not a label you throw on a year later.

Weru, as a JJ speedball, yes. As a Fangio OLB, with the ability to drop in coverage? Big maybe. What we don’t know about any of the IPP is coachability. The fact Uar has never played organized sports and Weru has played at a high level in a different sport suggests he may take to coaching. That said, the last two IPP were OTs that had played professional sports and each lasted only a year with the exemption.

Thanks to those that served.

BLG says he will be keeping an eye on Dae’Quan Wright. Given the BGN alum tend to tote water for each other, I project Wright as the likely overhyped longshot this preseason. Another possibility is Lawson, with Campbell missing some reps. Lawson’s tackling won’t be evident until PS games so, he is another possibility for the overhyped. And since the Beats have been beating the bushes about a S since that devastating trade of Sydney Brown, Pulley and Wisneiwski join the over reported position. Every PBU or interception in 1 on 1s will be examine ad nauseum. Given the handwringing about IOL, Morris and Roberts join the competition. Maybe James-Newby if he flashes in DL v OL drills might get a mention but he seems way down the list with the Greenard signing. Given the role of the overhype in the ranking, his chances seem low for getting the necessary attention. Those are the candidates for Nasty Nate for 2026.
