You drafted a 24yo , with bad knees, to sit for 3-4 years….. that’s not justifiable. You could’ve waited until the 3rd or 4th and took Jordan Travis

ESPN told Dan he had to be the one to understand it so they could argue about it on tv

“Dan, we need someone to say this was a smart pick. Can you spin it without running out of the back of the end zone?” He did as good as he could. Still hate the puck.

Good theory, not sold on execution - given Penix's age and the 180m/100m guaranteed over 4 years ahead of him.

This dude is notorious for defending horrible takes so ESPN can get views

That pick was like adding a 2-iron iron to your new set of irons when you already have two expensive custom fitted hybrids in your bag.

Once again we’re going to watch the Falcons defense get ZERO pass rush and get beat in games they should’ve won… BUT they got a great QB at the 8th spot for the future!

it's probably not as bad as Falcon's fans think it is, but Penix sitting until he's 26 years old isn't great.

Sir Lewis Hamilton reflecting on the break after Singapore, and speaking on his experience with horses throughout his life: "Good afternoon, everyone. I was at the factory, and then headed out here. Had some work in LA, and then I came here. But yesterday, I rode a horse for the first time. So it was an unbelievable experience." "But when I was younger, there used to be a horse that was in a field nearby, just a shy horse. And it was this beautiful horse. It was just on its own every day. So I'd go and stop, and it would come over to me, and I'd spend time [with it]. And then when I'd start walking home, I'd start to notice my allergies started kicking off. And then my breathing, I'd struggle to breathe. And I'd really, really struggle. And I didn't know that I had asthma." "Then I was, I happened to be around another horse another time, and I had an asthma attack. And it was a really scary experience, because I didn't have an inhaler or anything. So anyways, I stayed away from horses since that day. That was when I was probably like 14 or something. And I went through this desensitization program, because my allergies were crazy, particularly for hay fever in the UK. And I didn't think anything of it. I hadn't thought about it. And I did a shoot at the beginning of this year with a horse for the Time 100 magazine. And I took medication, antihistamine. But I was able to be around this horse, no problems. So yesterday, I did a shoot with a horse for Plus 44. And I was like, can I ride it? And I got on. And it was just, wow. It was an amazing experience." "The horse started moving. And it started to gallop. And I didn't know what to do in that moment. So I panicked a little bit. But it was beautiful. So I'm really, really excited about this next phase of my life, where I'm going to be around horses more and really get into riding." - F1 2025 USGP -
