  1. I think that bet had to have been made before the season started to get a payout like that, right?
  2. Brady is the dude who gets to see how the world reacts to his “death” without actually dying yet.
  3. Did he have the best career of any professional athlete? Has most titles of any athlete in his sport and also holds the records in most major statistical categories for his position. I suppose the only real comps would be Jordan and Gretzky.
  4. It's like the Justice League of washed up coaches. They couldn't find a team for Houston Nutt?
  5. Incredible video. Must have been a hell of a curve when Babe was 20 years younger and throwing full speed off a mound. https://twitter.com/nut_history/status/1486500455798693896?s=21
  6. Surely A-Rod's numbers will go way up next year, right? I've got to believe that many of the people who had no problem voting for Clemens and Bonds didn't vote for him because they wanted to ensure he wasn't a first ballot guy. I do understand that A-Rod failed two drug tests, but the "first ballot" thing surely took some voters away from A-Rod this year.
  7. Hahaha
  8. So the 1988-2016 Vets Committee meets next year. Will be interesting to see how they treat Bonds and Clemens. I imagine Lofton has a real shot next year with the committee.
  9. Yes, remarkably inconsistent with regards to juicers/potential juicers being left out but Ortiz being first ballot.
  10. Not really understanding the disconnect between Bonds\Clemens voters and A-Rod only getting 34%. Ridiculous
  11. Ok I guess I’m just confused about this, so help me out. Team A picks the 1 yard line. If Team B defers does Team A get the ball at that spot wherein they’d only have to go 1 yard to score? That’s how I read that proposal, thus my confusion about why a team would ever defer. Team A wins the toss Team B chooses the 1 yard line Team A can choose whether to take the ball at their own 1 yard line OR have Team B start at their own 1. Rest of the game proceeds as normal. OK, thanks. I was definitely confused about that.
  12. why would a team ever NOT take the ball, regardless of where it is spotted. I can't think of any scenarios. I could see it if the other team picks the 1 yard line. Even for an elite offense like the Chiefs it can be hard to get out of your own end zone and if they can't get a 1st, suddenly the other team gets great field position. Also its not sudden death so it helps the team that gets the ball 2nd unless the other team goes on a 99 yard drive that eats up the entire 7:30 Ok I guess I’m just confused about this, so help me out.

  14. This is a QB wizard duel
  15. Greatest weekend of football maybe ever
  16. I too would take the Raiders job if offered.
  17. So, check out Ripken at the bottom of this AL MVP race…just chilling out with a 10 WAR in 27th place. https://www.baseball-reference.com/awards/awards_1984.shtml#all_AL_MVP_voting
  18. Seems like a guy who gets in with the Vets Committee.
