A couple more plot twists and we are reaching 30 for 30 levels. The story ends with Bowen doing a weekly podcast beside First Down Moses calling it Peyton’s Place. Racks up a mil a year in ad revenue. Who needs Nike money anyways.

Here’s the problem with all that. All these people are trying to get into the mind of a teenager. On top of being a dumb ass teenager (my kid is super cool/ smart/talented but yes he was still a dumb ass in some ways) the ones as talented as Bowen are having huge sums of money thrown at them.

Anyone familiar with human development is going to tell you that a teenager in that position is 100% primed to make a short term decision i.e. take the bag and run.

Okay but that is not reporting the truth. Some here are complaining that they want the truth. You’re making a well educated guess and prediction. Doesn’t make it wrong, but that isn’t what a reporter does or what you called the “truth”.

Dickey and Limar have now both officially signed for Oregon. Not sure who the others besides Bowen were that were missing.

The idiocy is that if the Oregon coaches really didn’t know he was going to commit, how exactly does he think NIL works? He commits and the NIL fairy drops off $2M under his pillow tonight?

Literally, you have to arrange and sign a contract before they give you a cent. I really wonder how that phone call with Oregon went after he got off the stage and was like “where my money at?”

“Uhhh well, Peyton, you need to sit down with the collective and uhhh….”

Loy posted what sounds like the last he’s got for tonight and all but said Bowen is still lying to staffs.

Said similar things are being told to multiple staffs which he found interesting.

They kicked me out once for just being really drunk but not hurting anyone or doing anything disturbing. They didn't cut me off, they literally forced me out of the bar outside in January South Bend. NO FUN ZONE

If someones a serial liar. The party that gets lied to least and last will be the one most willing to ignore it and in this case reward $$$ it. Be shocked if its not scrooge mcduck in the end

Why are staffs, multiple, still even talking to him?

This is weird. I get before NSD doing this, but to what end would you continue stiring the pot like this if you were the Bowens?

Sure.

Maybe that’s why these “reporters” shouldn’t lean into this stuff so hard with all their crystal balls and the rest of that bullshit.

It’s fuckin ridiculous.

It must be because they didn't have all their t's crossed with Oregon's collective and they're trying to cover their bases? Or because Mom has read Peyton the riot act for that embarrassing display today.
But if I'm Freeman at this point I tell the kid to get lost. I don't care how good a safety he is. Unless he is massively apologetic to the staff and his teammates he can go break rocks. I'd imagine Oklahoma feels same, though they may be willing to take him regardless given their ties.

That’s funny. If it makes you feel better I’ve been kicked out of all kinds of bars. Lol.

The Backer's bouncers are pretty legendary, for reasons anyone who's been there at 2 AM on a weekend can understand. But who among us has not stood in that parking lot on a cold January night and considered our fate?

at what point does a program say “screw this. Let’s bail.” How do you welcome this kid onto your team when he has acted this way? This is completely ridiculous at this point

They spent like two years recruiting him and he’s a five star recruit. You never give up
