  1. Unfortunately, all this distracted everyone from what the actual problem is with this team, which is going out there next.
  2. Trestman says fullback y'all, Bush is getting in eventually.
  3. I don't think Bush is going to make it.
  4. Better wait for the flag, just in case.
  5. Hell, just sneak it four times.
  6. Just to clarify, trestman is a great oc and horrible hc decision maker . And the pathetic people who think the cubs had to take a dive are the only ones who disagree. Speaking of sticking fingers in ears and ignoring logic and reason...
  7. And just for posterity, the only time going for it on 4th and 1 from the 1 is the wrong call is if a FG wins the game.
  8. Should've probably discussed that hold on the punt return too there, refs.
  9. Hyperbole makes it all better, then, I guess. Pretending trestman hadn't [expletive] the bed means they win right? Pretending he has makes you feel better then, right? Get your head out of your ass, if possible.
  10. Hyperbole makes it all better, then, I guess.
  11. That actually average the fewest penalties in the NFL?
  12. http://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/penalties-per-game Stuck your fingers deeper into those ears By ignoring the actual stats, you do exactly that, yes.
  13. Just start scooping the meatballs out of your head now, and it might be clear by the end of the season.
  14. I don't know what to be about the first B1G win in 2 years being a 4 point squeaker at a historically bad Purdue team that still included 4 turnovers and the defense allowing PU's longest play from scrimmage this season.
  15. 3 play TD drive for Purdue to start the game. Sounds about right.
  16. Atlanta just went from a slightly above average team with insane schedule and close-game luck to a slightly below average team with bad schedule and close-game luck.
  17. If the Nets or Knicks don't rebound, I would say this regular season is pretty meaningful. Getting that #1 seed is important so you only have to face one of the Big 3 in the playoffs rather than two. Sure, but they just won 5 in a row. They lost last night largely because Deng was wretched; it happens. Plus they are short a starting 2 guard, so it's laughable to take a close loss in a tough location without the full team and project it to playoff susceptibility. But then again he didn't post at all during the Bulls recent win streak, so maybe there is a good reason to root for the Bulls to win during the regular season.
  18. As is, all I want for the USMNT: - No CONMEBOL team in the group stage - No Netherlands/Italy in the group stage - No Spain/Germany in the group stage if possible Which leave a group with Belgium/Switzerland, a CAF team, and a decent Euro team.
  19. The USMNT is basically automatically in the group of death unless the rest of their group is terrible, because the rest of their selection pool is the entire bottom of the ratings.
  20. Tune in Saturday. Whoever wins, we lose.
  21. Just wait until Illinois football regains their championship form... ...although I'd be content with simply winning one league game right now.
  22. Northwestern won at UIC by 40 last night. Illinois gets a revenge match against UIC at the UC in a couple weeks...odds on it being a game at the end...still high.
  23. Pot 1: Brazil, Spain, Germany, Argentina, Columbia, Belgium, Uruguay, Switzerland Pot 2: USA, Costa Rica, Honduras, Mexico, Iran, South Korea, Japan, Australia Pot 3: Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Cameroon, Algeria, Chile, Ecuador, France Pot 4: Italy, Netherlands, Russia, Bosnia, England, Greece, Croatia, Portugal Opens the door for a potential Spain-USA-Chile-Netherlands/Italy nightmare group, thanks to the insistence on potting strictly by association. If they did things more like the CL draw, or even the NCAA tourney S-curve, even giving the host nation top seed, it'd look more like... Rank Host. Brazil 1. Spain 2. Germany 3. Argentina 4. Colombia 5. Belgium 6. Uruguay 7. Switzerland 8. Netherlands 9. Italy 10. England 12. Chile 13. USA 14. Portugal 15. Greece 16. Bosnia-Herzegovina 17. Ivory Coast 18. Croatia 19. Russia 21. France 23. Ghana 24. Mexico 31. Costa Rica 32. Algeria 33. Nigeria 34. Honduras 44. Japan 49. Iran 56. South Korea 57. Australia 59. Cameroon Straight S-curve groups, sliding teams up/down a spot only for association rules: Group A: Brazil, Bosnia, Croatia, Cameroon Group B: Spain, Greece, Ivory Coast, Australia Group C: Germany, Portugal, Ghana, South Korea Group D: Argentina, USA, Russia, Iran Group E: Colombia, England, France, Japan Group F: Belgium, Chile, Ghana, Honduras Group G: Uruguay, Italy, Mexico, Nigeria Group H: Switzerland, Netherlands, Costa Rica, Algeria
  24. Jennings took a knee to the chest on that play from the receiver.
  25. That seems...high...for a 34 year old catcher coming off a sub-par offensive year where he missed half the season.
