Baker Mayfield is a man of his word.

The Cleveland Browns quarterback honored his Offensive Rookie of the Year bet with New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley by giving the former Penn State star an iced-out chain paying tribute to Barkley's larger than life quads.

"It's for a chain," Barkley said in February. "The loser's got to get someone else a chain. We get to pick the chain and we get to have fun with it because obviously everyone's talking about who's going to win, and at the end of the day we'd love to see each other win, but we'd also love to see ourselves win too, but we made a little bet with it just to show how friendly we are that it's bigger than just the award."

Barkley ended up receiving the honors and Friday night posted his diamond-encrusted trophy for all to see on Twitter. Mayfield did not reveal how much he paid to commission Barkley's prize.

"It'll say 'Quads' on it, not 'Sa-quads' but just 'Quads,'" Mayfield said in February. "The two extra letters in there cost a little bit extra money, so we'll stick with just 'Quads.'

The chain certainly makes sense, given how massive Barkley's quads are, earning him the appropriate nickname of "Saquad."

Perhaps the next wager could be who finishes with MVP honors first. After all, three letters might be considerably cheaper than five.

Apparently someone that the NFL on CBS with 1.4M Followers considered worthy enough to broadcast his work on Twitter

The Giants reportedly dabbled with replacing their rehabbing investment, whose ball-security issues returned behind a porous line in 2023. Perhaps Malik Nabers can restore his fortunes.

Quote from: AZGiantFan on Today at 12:48:48 PMTotally agree.  Not surprised that Florio is one of the ones trying to mountainize this molehill.

Mike has a long history of doing that.  Sometimes, he succeeds, but more often than not, he fails in his efforts.

I listened to Pat Leonard's recent podcast.  He is trying very hard to make this a story.  He cited the comments by the Seahawks GM; he claims to have heard from his own inside sources, and he declared that Daniel Jeremiah is no longer just a draft guru but an NFL insider as well.

He never mentioned that Schoen and Lock himself denied the claims. As a sports journalist, Leonard was required to report all the relevant facts, not cherry-pick them to pursue his self-serving agenda.

I had sort of been warming up to Pat of late, but I am troubled by what I consider his less-than-honest reporting.  I am not even saying Pat had to believe Schoen's or Lock's claims, but it was dishonest not to include them in is reporting.

The pearl-clutching over a Rookie of the Year bet between Jayden Daniels and Malik Nabers is much ado about nothing

If they both claim the bet was made before the draft, I am pretty sure the NFL gambling policy doesn't apply.   In that case, I would think the NFL would just tell them to rescind the bet.  Plus, when did the NFL inform these players of their gambling policy?   Also, when do drafted players officially become NFL players?

Quote from: kartanoman on May 08, 2024, 09:27:26 PMOK, I'll ask the question.

When the time (eventually) comes, which half of Giants' ownership is going to sell out to a Private Equity Fund(s) FIRST?

Talk amongst yourselves.

Peace!

I could see the Maras selling up to 30% if only to reduce the inheritance tax, which I don't think their family is wealthy enough to afford.   I don't think I would call it "selling out".  As I understand what is being proposed, 30% of the value of a franchise can be offloaded to private equity groups in 10% increments.  This allows the PA to participate in the profits while not gaining control of the franchise, and it reduces the value of the franchises by 30%, which will make them easier to sell, buy, and inherit.
