I am very excited for her. Her years of playing overseas will bring a lot of different experiences to the Sky.

It's going to be a fun season watching the Sky again and the Lynx to hopefully see Kiki on the court.

He is expected to battle Stidham for the starting job and Stidham is also not very good. Nooch may be in a very good spot. He will light it up if given the chance the way he did in Seattle.

You need to remember, Wilson played on the Jets who ruin everyone. All signs were pointing to him improving as a qb backing up rodgers until he got hurt week 1 and was thrown into the fire. Wouldnt be surprised if Denver makes a move for a QB round 1

I was thinking the same thing about Denver going for a QB in Round 1. They took Zach Wilson because they got him for fifty bucks and a used blocking sled. What is there to lose? They really like Bo Nix, but they also have other urgent needs. like corner, edge, and they also really like TE Brock Bowers. So, if Nix lasts until Pick 12 of the first round, it will be interesting to see if Payton ignores his other needs to take Nix (if he is still available) because he won't get another chance. Denver's next pick is #76 in the third round.

My best guess is that Payton and company saw something they really like in Zack Wilson and believe he can be their starter. Thus, I believe they will pass on Nix and develop the quarterback talent they already have.

So, where might that put Nooch? No worse than last year on the scout team and building his NFL retirement points. BUT, word is that Payton plans a three-way competition for the starting job and the best QB will be the starter. I believe Nooch is better than both Stidham and Wilson. He is certainly more dynamic and fun to watch.

In the meantime, Ben confesses that he really misses the XFL and has a great idea - let the new UFL serve as a feeder/developmental league for the NFL, allowing players to play in both leagues. Interesting.... https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/b...r-AA1njbo8

Nooch's idea is exactly what should be done. The NFL should subsidize the league and use it as a feeder league, there is talent there but they just need live reps and the NFL preseason schedule just isn't enough.

Send that guy to Richmond! The Richmond Kickers (third tier?) have been on a scoring drought for like the last year.

And there you have it, Broncos take Bo Nix, guess Ben will be back in the XFL/UFL sooner than expected.
