Woodley bout the signal was caught on tape which made everyone look bad. -
To give more clarity to any age issue you may have read from others...or how it impacts draft picks.: You certainly are aware that players taken in the mid rounds are thought to need some time to develop into starters. And players taken in the first round less time. And top 15 picks probably start after 8 games. How many games did it take BR to play like a top 10 LT? If GMs let him slide to 77 (and possibly beyond if it wasn't for Ballard), do you think they were projecting BR to take 2 or 3 seasons to develop into a Starter? How about a top 10? So yes, if they are going to project BR taking to age 28 to be a top 10 BR that impacts his draft value. The issue is, its hasn't taken BR 3 offseason and 40 starts to be a top 10 player. Its taken him one rookie offseason and about 10 games to play like a top 10 player. So, do the analytics yourself. If you go into the draft thinking player A will take 3 seasons and 40 games to reach top 10 status, you value him at a certain slot. If you projected him to only take one offseason and 10 starts, you place a higher value on him...no? Projecting him to be a top 10 player at age 25 increases his draft value over projecting him to be a top 10 player only when he reached age 28. That's where the age issue comes into play. The fact that nobody thought he could play this well THIS SOON. Its not about a contract issue 5 years from now, and possibly getting him for another 4 years after his rookie contract expires. The fact that every GM passed him over shows that none of them had him projected to play the way he has THIS SOON. The GM who picked him in the third round would be the lucky one. It was Ballard. -

It has been announced that is a legit Pro fight as well. Both fighters will wear 14 Oz gloves, no head gear, and it is 8 Rounds. 2 minute rounds though, not 3. -

As many here know I work in the mma/kb and Boxing industry( matchmaking events, judging and announcing). The whole Paul thing is a joke to get casual fans buying and talking. Several bouts have been staged. Tyson is totally shot and is a shell of his former self ( he was shot 20 years ago when he lost to Danny Williams and Kevin McBride back to back) but the last thing to go on a former fighter is his punch, Tyson doesnt have heavy hands like a Foreman or Earnie Shavers but he has compact power that is helped but speed (His speed also isnt what it was but is there). IF the bout is legit and most in the business do not believe that it is, Mike will ko Paul early. -
I don't know if they were working an extension or not? Maybe, maybe not? Just a possibility. Point is, it didn't take them till the last 15 minutes before the deadline, to make this decision. It had been made, no reason to rush the announcement. I'm sure if extension talks weren't on going, then the Colts let him know that they would pick up his option, well before 3:45 today, when the rest of us found out.
