So if one removes all conjecture:

Arians originally said,"Thomas will play for at least the first half".

But he then changed his decision saying "We drafted him for two years from now, not November," Arians said, via the team's official website. "It just so happened his number got called (earlier.) I was not going to let him fail (in San Francisco) because once you fail those scars never go away.

"It's very hard to get the guys back in the locker room if you cost them the playoffs. I just wasn't going to put him in that situation. Right or wrong, it just was my decision."

Did anyone else think Colin Ferrell's character was actually a good dad for the first part of the episode? Probably should've seen that coming

Rich guy funding baseball or rich guy growing the endowment. Basically wahoo Olympic Sports are at a greater advantage because they have more financial backing in the form of available scholarship money. Read the article it makes a lot of sense. In the case of UVA Baseball they not only have the endowment for help but they also had huge private donations. So they are at an even greater benefit. This isn't just something that I made up or thought of. Came from the article and is supported by fact. Anybody that played a D1 non-revenue sport in college would have a lot of insight on how scholarships are awarded. If VT can only provide you a 50% scholarship but, UVA can provide you 75%, most people are going to go play for UVA. VT is at a disadvantage. The article interviews the VT pitching coach and he explains the disadvantage VT has compared to competing schools (i.e. UNC, UVA, etc).

If this season lives up to half of the greatness that was last season, it'll be awesome.

That bike scene had me like

Yeah, opponents had an average net punting of ~36 ypp while VT averaged ~38 ypp and we were 43rd in punting efficiency. So we gained on exchanges of punts, just not as much as other ACC teams, which had several excellent punters last year.

Yeah, but Johnson had nothing close to the same issues. It seemed like he just had an overall general lack of talent, IIRC. I mean, on top of being something of an @ssdouche. But yes, your point still stands. None of this matters until we actually play the game.

If I were there, I would have whispered to that kid, "Spiderman died because you touch yourself." Is that wrong?

And while I may have been flip with my post, I admit that I have not heard JG tagged with pedophile. And well, I've been around long enough to know what the word means. Seemed like a throw out and I didn't know what it was about. Am I the only one in the dark on this?

I think I've read where there will be some flashforwards (which is more accurate I think) this year too.

I think that the first episode of season 1 was far more nebulous than season 2's opener. However, SO FAR, I'm a little less intrigued this season than after the opening episode last season.

But it's still just game 1 of a long season...

Probably, and the potential bonus #s drop him lower... But for last year, he was the highest paid.
