Ooooooooof

Seems to be appropriate to post my gif from last year

Very good player. Very surly player as well. Hated the media.

Holy hell! https://twitter.com/AsteriskTour/status/1232170084258459648?s=20

Adam is dealing

Isn’t Marquee going to be having guys mic’d up during regular season games as well? I think I read that on The Athletic.

I like what MLB.tv is doing during commercials this year with the MLB flashbacks.

Gonna guess it’s for spring. They removed the batter and pitcher name blocks they had in the first inning. I liked those.

I like Marquee’s scoreboard graphic or whatever you call the thing that shows the count, etc

Are the giant Nike logos going to be a thing on our uniforms for the season?

This guy’s vids are always great

Now Altuve has to actually get a crappy tattoo to try and sell the bit.

I think they'd have to do something extreme like allow 18 year old players to join. That would generate some round the calendar buzz, much in the same way that college recruiting does now.

I’m not mad. I’m just bemused by you asking me why I brought up a random baseball stat during a discussion about a baseball player on a baseball message board.

Because it’s a unique Pete Rose stat, Weis. Brought up during a discussion about Pete Rose. Hell, I even wrote “sidebar:” before I posted it. If I had left out the obvious hyperbole about him being an ultimate utility player would it have met with your approval? I suppose it would have been free from SSR’s snark, but would it have been ok to bring up a random player stat during a discussion about said player? He’s the only player with 500+ games at 4 positions, much less 5 positions. That’s a neat and notable.

shut it, cvnt

someone tell abuck to come join the fun!!

Inject that wonk eyed maniac into my veins.

I’d hope my utility player wasn’t confined to playing half his games at the easiest defensive positions Well hopefully our utility player isn’t 40+ years old either, which is when Rose played those positions.

Oh ok then. Yet he's STILL in the NFL for some reason...could it be that he has enormous talent? Last year the Colts would activate him for games for the sole reason of keeping other teams from poaching him from their practice squad. He was basically on behavior probation last year.

Have I mentioned other football players from Ole Miss who aren't in the NFL? Also, when have I just randomly inserted him into a conversation where he didn't belong? Last time I brought him up was during a discussion about the Colts backup QB's when Luck suddenly retired. Considering he was one of those backups, I think it was fair to bring him up. Hell, the starting QB of the St Louis team that is playing right now is an Ole Miss guy who I've never even mentioned on this board. It's not that extreme. Kelly has the fourth most single season yards of any player in SEC history, behind Manziel's two seasons and Burrow's 2019. Manziel put up 907 yards in his two games against Saban's D and Kelly put up 826 yards. That's the second most yards any QB has ever put up against a Saban defense. In fact, only 1 other player has ever gone above 700 yards in two games against a Saban D: Drew Brees with 811 yards when Saban was at Michigan State. Not that it matters for anything, but he had the highest score of any QB ever tested by Sports Science. https://www.milehighreport.com/2017/4/30/15492264/chad-kelly-had-highest-score-sport-science In his only full season of college he had the 4th highest QBR in the nation ahead of the likes of Mahomes, Watson, Goff, and Mayfield. Kelly ended up being drafted dead last because his criminal record prevented him from participating in the combine, his senior year was cut short due to an ACL tear, and he couldn't participate in Pro Day because he has surgery on his throwing wrist. If he was some squeaky clean dude with no character or injury concerns, there's no reason he wouldn't have been a first round pick with the numbers he was putting up in college (Paxton Lynch was a first round pick for God's sake). Bill Polian said he was the most talented QB in his draft class, but that his character concerns would likely have him go undrafted. So no, it's really not that extreme to compare two QB's who beat the hell out of SEC competition, sit next to each other in the SEC record books, and are complete head cases.

It’s cool
