Ok, but McDavid’s points have a positive impact because you know.... they are points that go on the score sheet. That’s measurable.

Is O’Reilly going to score more points this year because he’s winning more face offs?

- sbroads24


I get what you’re saying about faceoffs

But that’s not the point i was even making
You’re changing it

MY point...
wasn’t whether or not faceoffs matter...
It was that the LOGIC he used to say so was DUMB

He's made $16 and will get $11 more regardless if he plays or not as it was a signing bonus.

Where is the $26 coming from?

16+11=27
42-27=15

OK thanks ......I'm "half in the bag" at this point.

I didn’t hear it so I can’t say.

But the comparison you made isn’t the same thing.

We can measure how points or goals or assists effect chances of winning.

I don’t think faceoffs effect your chances. Situationally, they can matter

Flew up the draft board from a poss late 1st/mid 2nd to be picked 7th by the Eagles.

Eagles traded 12 and two 2nd that year which became Warren Sapp and Derrick Brooks.

He walks away he still gets $11 mil as it was a signing bonus spread over 6 yrs.

He's already made 16 of the 42 mil in the 1st 2 yrs.

Just saying.

- dadeadhead


I think his point is that the remaining 26mil is a lot to walk away from

Of course,
his health should be the #1 factor

But as I said the commentators mention him a bunch every combine.

For someone that watches/pays attention to the combine as much as he does, he should know the name Mike Mamula.

Like you said if for no other reason, he's from Lackawanna.

Combine workout warrior is what he's commonly referred to.

Also had a good pro day.


A history lesson works too.

According to Radar Online, Herman has a “troubled past.” The site refers to Herman as a “hard partier” and a “gold digger.”

“Erica is a big partier,” a source told the outlet. That unnamed source allegedly worked with Herman for five years at a bar in Florida and added that Herman met Woods at a popular nightspot that he visited on a regular basis. “Erica was all over him,” the source added.

The source went on to say that Herman had her eyes on Woods for years and even suggested that Woods and Herman may have been acquainted whilst Woods was still married to Nordegren.

“Erica’s been chasing Tiger around like a puppy for close to 10 years. I’m not sure if his wife knew, but I’m not sure how she couldn’t know. I can’t believe Tiger’s out in public with her now,” the source explained.

Radar Online goes on to report that Herman’s family has been in trouble as well and that she has had family members arrested on drug-related charges. However, Radar had to dig for information. They cited a 2000 arrest of Herman’s brother, Scott, who was busted for marijuana possession. Radar says that Scott was arrested on suspicion of “peddling cocaine” years later.

Lastly, the site reports that Herman has had “financial woes” and a source told the outlet that many people believe that Woods helped her out of the hole at one point.

That'd be up to the team.

Off hand is there any recapture penalty associated with his deal?
