Yo is the Mic still on. We are dangerously close here to being six months removed from the last post on this site. Believe it or not we don’t have the brand power quite yet where we can tease releases for as long as we have. Am I going to sit here and promise consistent content in the coming days. Nope. But what I will tell you is that I am going to post more ramblings while no one is looking and in light of the Buccos outperforming expectations early, here is the top of my ramblings lineup.
Batting first in the Irreverant Rambles lineup we have my take on NIL. There has not been a post about NIL since the Addison Accident and I feel it should come from me as opposed to anyone else. When Jordan Addison made the decision to enter the transfer portal, I crumbled. My immediate reaction was that I lost the one sport that I love so dearly to a changing landscape that would never provide enough opportunity for the Pitt Panthers to compete nationally. While that still could be the case I have since cooled off and now found solace in the fact that each school, and increasingly the blue bloods, are having trouble keeping up with the financial commitment that recruiting in the NIL world requires. I think its likely college sports begin to see definition take place in regards to NIL to limit outrigh stealing players like that no good, dirty rotten, joke of a meat smoker, transfer reliant, fraudulent, toothpick look-a-like, underwhelming, outright arrogant, lastname, firstname instead of a firstname, lastname having, a$$ coach out at USC. Besides my faith in Pitt has not waivered much.
Very related and batting second is the NSFW and may not ever see the light of day opinion on the Pitt Panthers. I am going to keep this short in fear of exposing what might be my most vile opinion on Pitt that I have ever had. So ghastly and repulsive I am keeping it to myself for the safety of my loved ones. If this take was released it would eventually be to my own and their detriment as well. All I have to say is I have the utmost confidence in the 2 quarterbacks that could lead this offense this year. Adding the fact that there will be 0 new faces on the offensive line bolsters my confidence in whichever offense appears on the field. On the other side only losing 1 member of yet another dominant defensive line is crucial for this defense potentially being one of Narduzzi’s best. Last but not least, as was apparent in the conference championship game having the 2 H’s at safety will ease any discomfort you might have about losing Damarri Mathis and some inexperienced talent emerge at the cornerback spot. This take more than likely will be revised but if you look closely its not hard to see which team this has me reminiscent of.
Rounding out the top of the lineup is my opinion on the world around me. In no means is this an educated rant but it certainly is visceral. I feel like it is responsible to not neglect what the current state of things are and to offer my thoughts on the world around me. With what happened in Uvalde and Buffalo just ten days prior and the outrage that has followed but has since tempered, bringing up the issue of safety that exists because of gun violence should be brought up maybe not incessantly but consistently enough that it remains relevant. Thoughts and prayers are not enough. Increasing security and arming schools is the most illogical and out of touch argument that I have possibly ever seen and would likely only exacerbate the situation. I don’t know the point of this rant but my main goal is to ensure that Uvalde and Buffalo and countless other senseless acts remain in the thoughts of our country. Things really need to change and I wish it wasn’t so hard for the right people to make the right decisions but here we are.
