  1. Tatum got hosed by the refs with just over a minute to go in Celtics v Raptors. They still are going to win, but that was a BS foul call and a BS technical.
  2. I’d rather be annoyed by either Soler or Eloy as our positionless spaz.
  3. Surely Theo can Tony Campana him to some team.
  4. I was going to mention something about them. The color guy was the only thing that made the pbp guy seem decent. They just quietly rambled about uninteresting nonsense the entire broadcast.
  5. Saw a quote from Javy that he was having trouble focusing with no fans. He’s definitely not all there.
  6. Use your words if you have a point to make They don't give a horsefeathers about their players. Even if you think that’s true, you’re missing the point. Coaches, ADs and administrators all have significant interest in keeping their best players on the field, if for no other reasons than financial ones. They’re going to keep the players as safe as they can to keep their guys playing.
  7. Of course, but if students are going to be allowed on campus, then players are much better off in a structured setting with constant testing and reporting to coaches daily. If campuses are closed, that’s another story. How naive are you to think players are better off in structured setting of college freaking football? These programs are run by neanderthals that think catching covid will only make you tougher. The only structure is coach worship idiocy. What in the holy horsefeathers are you talking about? I disagree with some of what OMC is saying but he is dead on with this point. The day to day routine of a college football player in season is structured pretty much all day every day between classes, study halls, practices, weights and conditioning, team meetings and of course, games. This, along with the fact that coaches have an incentive to closely monitor their players to keep them healthy and eligible AND the constant testing, how can you possibly argue that players are better off without all this?
  8. Bases loaded. Cards have us right where they want us.
  9. More annoying is that Schwarbs, Willson and Heyward all scalded the ball and have 3 outs to show for it.
  10. Len keeps pronouncing our pitcher’s last name as AL-zo-LIE. Weren’t announcers saying AL-zo-LAY last season? Either way he looks pretty good tonight.
  11. Not really. You think football players are less safe from Covid because they're playing football as opposed to doing what college kids do like go out to bars or house parties or have sex with people off Tinder or whatever the hell they do these days? Considering that football players during a season spend almost all of their time in the athletic facility, I'd say they are much, much safer than a regular student. Not sure about the other schools but at Ole Miss they do 4 Covid tests every week. Does the general student population have access to those measures? Hell no. All they had to do was push back the "season" like the other conferences did and wait and see what happens with the NFL because if the NFL can't pull it off then college football programs certainly can't. I'm saying the possible harm is further spreading a disease that has killed 175,000 americans and is still spreading and closing down schools left and right with outbreaks. Of course, but if students are going to be allowed on campus, then players are much better off in a structured setting with constant testing and reporting to coaches daily. If campuses are closed, that’s another story.
  12. Except for Harold Reynolds, the Baseball Tonight format is pretty enjoyable.
  13. Ed Howard is 18? That’s an impressive guy.
  14. So, Alec Mills looks like a poor man’s Kyle Hendricks.
  15. Every time I see a game thread with a FOX telecast noted I get excited that I'm actually going to get to watch a game...then I tune in and I get the Rangers or Astros. Sad Panda. reddit streams my friend Never tried, nor even been to reddit. If someone wants to help a brother out and post a link, it would be most appreciated.

  17. Wow, 65 responses. There’s a lot of people who lurk here but don’t post.
  18. Yeah, there’s been a lot of chatter from Pat Forde and several SEC beat writers that there’s no way college football’s starting in September.
  19. Chip and Joe Carter in the booth are painful.
