I apologize in advance if this advice is a bit unsolicited... we haven't posted internships yet, but I feel obligated to say

  • Tell him to start networking and making connections asap.
  • As an intern, he can't be picky. Going into writing in the AI era is not the wisest choice... instead of focusing on a specific function, he find an industry that interests him and focus on that

My understanding that under the NFL rules, the $7.5M doesn't impact either team caps because the team responsible for contract takes the cap hit. It's essentially the Bears giving the receiving team the $7.5M, and the receiving team paying Edmunds $15M. So, the receiving team has $15M cap-hit and the Bears get a $15M cap saving.

It's ultimately a weird scenario that does not really happen because receiving teams don't want to take on the cap hit and trade away a pick/player. Maybe it happens here because Edmunds is uber talented. That's also why the Bears are giving Edmunds the opportunity to seek a trade as opposed to leading the effort themselves, make his agent put in the effort to see if there is an appetite for his cap hit.

If you look at available cap space for 2026, and considering roster building through free agency and the draft, maybe 7 teams can easily take a $15M cap hit without dropping salaries: Sportrac NFL Cap Space.

growing up a long-suffering Viking's fan

This is me! I was a soon to be ten year old on January 11, 1970 when the Kansas City Chiefs played the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl IV. That's when I became a Vikings fan. I had posters in my room of the Purple People Eaters; Carl Eller, Alan Page, Jim Marshall, Gary Larson. I remember watching games on TV at the old Metropolitan Stadium where both teams were on the same sideline (split at the 50). Coach Bud Grant would not allow heaters on the Vikings sidelines.
Oh how I wish the Vikings could win a Super Bowl!!! (or at least get back to one) lol

If it wasnt for the goalie on team usa player probably the game if his life they lose. Its why most major sports have series to find the better team so the outliers are removed.

"I'm here representing the Vikings"

I'm sorry man. One of the reasons I lost interest in and stopped watching almost all sports was growing up a long-suffering Viking's fan. I spoke to God one day and he told me something like: Chris, I will never allow your teams to win. Why do you keep putting yourself through this? Just give up.

For reference, my teams (when I paid attention to any professional team sports were):
Minnesota Vikings - 0 Super Bowl wins ever - and 100% chance they will remain at 0 as long as I am alive
New York Mets - 1 WS championship when I was something like 4 days old followed by >50 years with 1 championship
New York Rangers - 1 Stanley Cup in ~75 years, although I was not alive for the first ~20 years of that stretch
Never had an interest in basketball, so no favorite team.

You can add in Virginia Tech with no team championships in >150 years. Oh man, I hope people don't try to sacrifice me as the reason VT cannot ever win a team championship.

Well, Yale did win in hockey a few years ago, so I guess VT has a theorical chance to win one while I am still alive.

A few years when I was hiring I posted on L.I. and did not get a single applicant. I assumed it was I was because I was only using the free service part of it. Ended up hiring one of my friends' kids who I knew was a hard worker, and it worked out fine, though could have gotten a bit ugly if I had had to fire him.
After that we expanded an executive admin position to include HR. We have had to go to skills testing the applicants because so many people are using AI to write resumes to get jobs that more than half are claiming skills they do not have. 90% of our successful hires have been through personal relationships and character references from people we know, and 80% of those hired "blind" have not worked out.

I will always miss Doc calling the games. Man is an absolute legend and nobody can match him in my eyes.

was questioning if it would land without the ability to add the accent in text.

nope. it was shit decision making. you don't need to be inside to learn how to prepare for cold weather. that's what outside is for. ridiculous.

The reason you build indoor practice facilities is so you can practice year round in a controlled environment. it's the same the world over. Now some places may not need it because the temp doesn't get too high or low. Blacksburg is not one of those places. Poor decisions were made.

When it comes to wanting to beat Penn State ...
