Per ESPN on the NBA Trade Deadline -
• All is quiet in Denver. The Nuggets have two sizable trade exceptions, and can take on $5 to $7 million without bumping back into the tax. They are open for business for smaller salary dumps if it helps two other teams make a deal, sources say.

Omitted from Atwater's resume: sewing Okoye's ass to his own face.

It’s been repeated Atwater had a better resume, not to say Law didn’t have an impressive one himself.
There’s also the fact that for some reason safeties have a harder time getting in than corners.
I mean, corner is a premium position on D, competition is far tougher and counting All Pro selections having that in mind means Law being selected less times carries little if any deciding factor when selecting between the two of them.
I like Atwater and I respect the hell out of the way he played the game, but to me having a shutdown corner is far more important than having an elite SS or FS.
My opinion without diving hard into the facts, but historically (up to about 10 years ago) it just seems like CB's have always been inducted based on their INT numbers. There really weren't advanced stats like today where you could actually measure a WR's success against corners. The guys who played corner and tricked QB's into throws seemed to be placed at a premium vs. a guy who actually blanketed the wide out. I think that's why some guys like Louis Wright don't get any respect. In all honestly I think Louis Wright is a better DB than Atwater but he played a pretty quiet game - no highlights and all that jazz.
And just based on my perception it always seemed like CB's got more picks than your typical safeties, so it's really hard to peg down statistically what a safety has done historically. It's a conondrum though that they need to figure out, because it seems like it's the most undervalued position when it comes to getting into the hall. Safety just seems like a position that's a place where guys go who can't cut it at CB...but I think it's an important game changer of a position in some defenses.
That game was absolutely amazing, they say that Ireland has the best defence in the world....well England was a unified fortress yesterday. They rarely broke down and that is even with Sexton developing into one of the best players in the world (as we all saw last year).

I wish ratings would show that this super bowl was boring and everyone turned it off hallway through.
One of the worst games of football I've ever seen, and I watched every Bronco game the past two seasons.

Well I think I'm about done with the NFL. They gifted Brady another one. Had the NFL gotten it right, Brees works that team.
But instead we get to watch arguably one of the worst games I've ever seen where neither team deserved to win.
Two bad calls in the game both in favor of the Pats, not shocked.
The product of this league has just gone to utter shit. It's not a fun league to even watch, the outcomes look predetermined, the new players coming into the league look terrible and under prepared. When a 40+ year old easily wins the big game with a 71 passer rating you know you have a f***ing problem.

How exactly did the LA Rams make it to the Super Bowl? They looked awful.
Jared Goff, to me, looks like Alex Smith 2.0.

lmao imagine going through 17 weeks of professional games to end up with that display as the pinnacle. Just another reminder as to why hockey produces the greatest championship in sports.
