  1. We would probably have to clear some payroll to afford him at a few million. I have this hope that they have left some room for a mid season trade....which a good back up catcher is probably going to be high on the list
  2. This one has made a lot of sense to me all off season. They never really rebuild there, they have no outfielders
  3. Pretty sure MLB is still exempt from that. But they’d get some big fines as per CBA I am pretty sure the collusion language is in the CBA because of Drysdale and Koufax both holding out the same year. So the owners wanted it included and the players said yes as long as it went both ways
  4. And is no contest the best closer in MLB history. There are discussions about who the best player was at each MLB position throughout history. Not so for closer. Closer is not a position. Its like lead-off man or clean up hitter. Ricky Henderson was the best Lead off man ever without question. So I am not sure your argument is valid.
  5. I'm beyond sick of seeing them in the Super Bowl, but it was there for the Chiefs. Great comeback, favorable 3rd downs to get Mahomes back on the field. They just blew it in overtime. I think they just lost a coin flip...I feel that they would have scored a TD if they got the ball first
  6. I absolutely can compare those calls. You’re comparing a missed strike two in an AB where a dude grounded out and a missed play at the plate in the bottom of the 9th. not a great comparison...but yes I would. Every play in any game matters to the outcome of the game. A blown call in the 2nd quarter can change the outcome just as much as a blown call in the last 2 minutes. BTW, I also did not blame Parkey for the Bears losing. Teams do not win or lose on 1 play
  7. Years are running together on me, but I think this is it.I would’ve guess one of the Wisconsin Final 4 teams or a Michigan/MSU team did it after (this would’ve been 2011?) but maybe this is right. I am not saying I follow this religiously, but I think Michigan and Wisconsin tend to be stronger come tournament time and dont really have big mid season appeal. After I thought about it, it seems that MSU may have been ranked number 1 in 2018
  8. Making America Great Again!
  9. When was the last time a B1G team was ranked number 1 this late in the season?
  10. You don't think Duke, the Tide's marquee non conference foe next year, can take them down? I hope this yrs championship game results do bring the perception of Alabama down some. Anyone who suggested Alabama shouldnt have made the final 4 if they lost to Georgia was considered nuts. Yet their schedule was garbage....and will be even more so nect season
  11. I could care less about the Championship game
  12. I don't put a lot of stock in lower level bowl games because who knows who is actually trying and who just used the bowl for extra practice for freshmen. But Minnesota was very impressive yesterday...they really finished strong. I think they could contend for the B1G west next season
  13. Exactly...It work for the Wings when they had Lidstrom, Rafalski, young Kronwall and Stuart It work for the Hawks when they had young Keith, young Seabrook and Hjarlmasson
  14. It would be extremely difficult for a 1 loss ND team to even make a 8 team playoff. So it doesnt bother me that they dont play in a conference. I am pretty sure all B1G schools play 10 P5 games a yr. 9 conference and 1 non con. Prett sure its a rule
  15. But it might get you off your bad knee for several weeks, so there is that
  16. This actually makes a lot of sense
  17. Sit out a year or 2 and replace Saban Like him or hate him, he is very successful. I also think he helped elevate the entire B1G conference by calling the rest of the teams out early in his tenure.
  18. the New Years 6 Bowls are a letdown. Conference alignments need to go. OSU/Michigan v Georgia would be interesting. Texas shouldnt be in. West Virginia v Central Florida would be interesting. OSU/Michigan v LSU would be interesing. Non of the existing games are that much fun. How many times has Michigan played Florida recently? The Illinois fans at work are saying that this will be the 4th time they have played Florida since they last played Illinois.
  19. Slow down there, highspeed Besides eye test what is their resume? The SEC has very little to hang their hat on this season besides we are the SEC and you're not. They should be punished for playing 8 conference games. Horsefeathers of a non con schedule. If they are that good, prove it with non con road games.
  20. What was the SEC signature non cinference win this year? Miami? Georgia Tech? What was Clemson’s? Texas A&M? Not really the point. If people really want Georgia in, what do they have to base that on besides the eye test. I would have been against Alabama getting in if Georgia had won.
  21. What was the SEC signature non cinference win this year? Miami? Georgia Tech?
  22. The week the SEC plays a bunch of FCS schools at the end of the year should disqualify them from ever having 2 teams
  23. They are not taking Northwestern
  24. I bet someone today a few dollars that OSU makes it...just a gut feeling I have.
  25. I keep asking why certain teams are ranked so high....than I see who is right behind them and see why. CFB seems more top heavy than normal this year
