iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Which is to say — no, I won't actually be going back over there anytime soon

000

About 2 weeks ago I seriously considered going back to Twitter, but over the past few days that site has not only fully doxxed Jane Doe from Cornell but its now made her into a full disgusting meme, daily tearing a part her life And those same posters would insist rape culture does't exist..

Sooooooo, what if the Atlanta Falcons are good? (I fall into a never-ending pit of despair, knowing full well that bullshit I just uttered was a total waste of perfectly fine air)

….the cheering is what gets me Doom posting, but sometimes it’s very hard to see what’s left to fight for

000

Really happy to be doing this weekly column, as I just read a mock from CBS that had Julian Sayin and Jayden Maiava as first round picks, with Arch Manning fully out of the first round Uhhhhh….ok.

000

A few guys with strong starts to their seasons and are now within spitting distance of the Top 10 of the 2027 NFL Draft Quarterback class: - Aidan Chiles - CJ Bailey - Kenny Minchey - Caden Veltkamp

000

Still a lot of season left, and we still need to see more consistency from him before he gets that contract But tonight is a good night to say I never fully sold my Bryce Young stock

I love how understated, emotional and story-driven the finale was. Not everything should be a CGI slop fest This was an adult superhero show made for adults An Kyle Chandler legit got me with his final lines. Altogether, a massive success

030

As LANTERNS ends, I strongly think it was a home run and a total hit for DC Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre both became Hal Jordan and John Stewart, and the show revived the tarnished Green Lantern mythos James Gunn has now nailed Superman, Green Lantern, and casted a good Supergirl. Great start!

2027 NFL Draft Quarterback Ladder — Week Five

After a brief 2-week hiatus due to a lot of work traveling, my 2026 NFL Draft Quarterback Ladder is back! Week Five's big takes: - Austin Simmons 📈, LaNorris Sellers 📉 - Bye weeks for Manning, Moore, Mestemaker, and Trinidad - Nice Derek Carr impression, CJ Carr!

This weekly series will track the top draft eligible college quarterbacks leading up to the 2027 NFL Draft.

000

Oh good lord, Tyquan Thornton’s ankle just broke skin….

000

Opposite from my Texans thoughts, the season ended today for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 0-4, no Baker for a few more weeks, and the rest of their schedule is tough Gonna have an early draft pick for a QB, but they idiotically gave Baker that contract. Weird situation, but decent for the next coach

000

Twitter can’t handle this take

000

The Harbaughs should 10000% call a family meeting and make the trade happen Dart and two first rounders for Herbert. Makes total sense for both teams, Chargers can tank this year with Dart out for good

Sooooooo I think the Chargers should trade Justin Herbert for a haul Someone will do it, and it’s what’s best for both sides at this point. Just a total failure of a season for him and the team

000

Yes, their margin for error is now gone. But I see 8 games where they will be favored If they split with the Jaguars, they just need to win 1 of the other 4 harder games, and that’s 10-7. Could be in the playoffs with that alone

000

Getting ahead of this now as a big Jaguars fan — The Houston Texans aren’t dead yet. Throw whatever stat you have about 0-4 teams out the window This is the rest of their schedule. 10-7 is very reachable. If they beat the Jaguars in 2 weeks in the international game, they can win the division

100

Like…..what???? Bring out the FG team, got the penalty and five years closer then….punted to Joe Burrow on their side of the field!?!?!? Absolutely the worst possible decision

000

Liam Coen……why on earth??

000

That’s what has been weird for me I fully understand why anyone wouldn’t see this as a masterpiece. It’s…a lot! But the vitriol and the bombing at the box office really, really feels like a miss across the board by our culture This is a good, creative movie that makes an important argument

100

Like, I actually want to pay to see this movie again just so I can watch this full one-shot monologue from Cruise Some of the best written stuff I’ve seen in modern filmmaking. Then the acting meets the moment That’s the good stuff, folks

021

Going back to DIGGER It’s a total disgrace this movie is bombing so hard when it contains THIS SCENE Legitimately one of the very best movie scenes of the century thus far, and arguably somehow Tom Cruise’s finest moment. Legend shit

121

Yeahhhhh, Lincoln Riley might get the ax before Beamer

000

First class comments from Will Stein immediately sticking up for Shane Beamer. Love that

030

Rough look for Stein and Minchey there You just can’t let that happen

Oh that’s a brutal moment from LaNorris Sellers….yikes

011

Alright, I’ve seen enough Austin Simmons is officially in the conversation of QBs in this draft class

Starting to think Austin Simmons might be an NFL dude

031

Part of the reason why I was so on Minnesota in the preseason is because I reallyyyyy like their chances at winning this game That’s a team that can beat Iowa and UCLA. Possibilities get fun for them if that happens

000

Michigan simply can’t walk that quarterback back out there under center in their next game Inexcusably bad

000

Not saying Notre Dame won’t beat them, but if Chris Ash is this committed to his scheme that can be beat by really good athletes, Miami will score 30-plus points in that matchup

000

Bryce Underwood, buddy. It’s bench time

000

Welcome to the Heisman Trophy race officially, CJ Carr

000

Classic crash back down to Earth day for Kamario Taylor and Mississippi State Bama is legit this year, and I’m very impressed by Keelon Russell

Bad coaching from Notre Dame Could’ve went up 24-7 with a FG, but Freeman stupidly goes for it on 4th down. They miss, North Carolina has life, and they drive down the field for the score Game completely changes. Made no sense. If UNC had a better QB, Petrino would be getting the better of Ash

021

An obvious designed throw, but Lindsey loses his composure when pressure comes and he forces the throw instead of airing it out more Would’ve been 6 for Minnesota. but it’s 6 the other way. Not good!

000

But it’s an ok/good player at the single most important position in all of sports You’re dead in the water in the NFL without a reliable starting QB, and next season there will be several teams who’ll need one Good debate!

000

In the recent line of TD celebrations that have become increasingly annoying and weird, the “sniff my crotch and smell it” move is easily the worst Just stupid

000

And this is where I’ll disagree With the way the cap is setup with rookie QBs, it’s totally fine to have an adequate/good not great starter in place if they do hit quickly as a rookie Roster management becomes infinitely easier

100

It’s a smidge overrated, yes But it’s deeper than it is top heavy. Strongly believe there’s at least 4-5 guys who can be NFL starting quarterbacks, which is high for any class But there’s no clear franchise-changers at this moment

110

Starting to think CJ Carr might be one of the safest 1st rounds picks at QB in the 2027 NFL Draft Not saying he’ll be the best overall of the group. But his accuracy, poise, football IQ, and pocket awareness really raises his floor I see a lot of Derek Carr with him

110

Think Notre Dame got screwed there on the personal foul call Lineman blocked a guy clear out of bounds on an incompletion. Very weird that both players weren’t given a personal foul

020

Anyways — this has been an incredible year for movies thus far, with some other possible awesome films coming soon But here’s how I’d rank this year’s top flicks so far. And yes, I’ve seen most of the big films wide released in 2026

000

But also — just cause it’s too on the nose for you, doesn’t mean it is for someone else For example, there’s a viral post going around saying Digger doesn’t address the role of technology in climate change and Cruise literally yells into the camera about how AI is killing us and we don’t care!!
