The TEN: 1/17/2025

(“The TEN” is not a top ten but ten items worth being included in “The TEN”

    Jayden Daniels and the Comanders just beat the Lions, advancing to the NFC championship game against either the Rams or the Eagles. Not bad for a rookie, but then I knew when watching him play in that 2017 Downey-Cajon title game that this kid was special.

    Prediction: NIL cash will soon have college football competing with the NFL for players. Schools will allow players to play as many years as they want as long as they take a class or two. Already some guys making more cash by staying in school and entering the portal after every season some in their 7th season. NFL will sue for unfair competition calling NCAA football a monopoly.
