That's something that will be figured out when they're closer to a deal, but I'd read the opposite and that it's unlikely to continue, at least in the 10th inning. I think the last thing I saw was that it might happen later than the 10th inning. I think both that and the 7-inning doubleheaders (also said to not be continuing) are abominations, but if forced to only eliminate one I think I'd eliminate the doubleheaders.

Teams that win the coinflip in playoff OT are 10-1. Again, regular-season results, with a much bigger sample size, are that the coin-flip winner wins exactly half the time.
-
Early reports are the players dropped their push to get players to free agency before 6 years. Seems like they'll focus more on trying to get players to arbitration sooner instead.
-
If that first number includes the playoffs, interestingly enough, that means in the regular season it's 76-66-10, or the coin-toss winner wins the game exactly half the time.
-
I think the OT rules are fine as is and this is all a tempest in a teapot, but the best suggestion I've seen so far was to not change anything except the first team can only walk it off with 8 points instead of 6. Then they have to weigh the 2-point conversion against the possibility of losing if the other team scores a TD too, and that gives the defense another chance to not fail and extend the game.

I don't think the FCC can do anything in this case. They don't regulate profanities on cable. People can file complaints, but the FCC will just toss them. I thought you can only say so much before 9 or 10 PM, then it’s more free reign That's correct, but only over the air. The FCC has no jurisdiction on cable. To whatever extent cable networks limit profanities and any other obscene material, it's only because they want to.

Wow, Fields had to be practically decapitated to get a roughing call. It's not just Fields. No QB in the league is treated like Brady except maybe Rodgers.
-
Dunno the specifics of this proposal, but MLB owners could very easily continue manipulating service time and just dispense bonus draft picks when those guys place highly in the Rookie of the Year voting, which many of those prospects would obviously do
-
To your point, Mike Tomlin is literally the only black HC in the whole league right now. Brian Flores will probably get another HC job, but that's such a bad look. The 2020 Texans went 4-12 with Deshaun Watson, the fact that Culley went 4-13 without him is a legitimate accomplishment.
-
-
The Dolphins fired Flores? What the hell? Unless he's the reason they picked Tua over Herbert that seems completely unjustifiable to me.
-
That was probably the most disappointing result in the history of NFL overtime.
-
I am a huge Athletic fan, have subscribed for over 4 years and because of a promo deal this summer am locked in another 18 months. I guess there's a reason it seemed too good to be true, I just hope things don't change too much for the worse.
-
By many accounts the players are pretty zeroed in on making sure they don't get railroaded, although your look at things makes sense. The push for a 14-team playoffs is the big thing; I hold basically no illusions that that won't happen, even though it shouldn't, but I am optimistic the players will make the owners pay up a bit for it.
-
I think it's rather fitting that a guy who claimed he'd "do anything" to accommodate COVID protocols besides the easiest horsefeathering thing he could possibly have done ended his team's playoff hopes by very predictably getting COVID and being subjected to unvaccinated people's protocol

Complain about your fantasy team that no one cares about here
Andy replied to UMFan83's topic in Fantasy Sports
Unless Nick Chubb drops 46 points tomorrow (and after the day Ja'Marr Chase had today I know it's in play however unlikely), I'll finally win my keeper league after 11 seasons and seemingly being in the semifinals or better like 5 times. Thank you to the guy who traded me Kyler Murray 2 years ago in a win now move when I sucked, the guy who traded me Austin Ekeler for Justin Herbert in a build for the future move before the season even started, and Rashaad Penny for going bananas 2 weeks in a row. -
It would be nice if every star who did play didn't immediately suffer a catastrophic injury.
-
Marcus Freeman opens his ND tenure by blowing the biggest lead in 3 decades and losing. I was really hoping to win one of those horsefeathering things before the playoff expands and the major-bowl designation is basically eliminated.
-
You’re not honestly this naive are you? None of those things are why 5 stars go to Bama and Georgia. Well, ok, yes, other stuff too but if you believe the bagmen stories that stuff happens everywhere down there and yet they do it way better than the others (except Texas A&M this year apparently)
-
It’s just a talent disparity. Same thing when people get skull drugged by Bama. In the last 5 recruiting cycles, Michigan’s average class ranking is 14th, whereas Georgia’s is 2nd. Georgia probably has 3rd string players that would start for Michigan. The difference between 2nd and 14th is probably the same difference between 14th and 40th. It sucks, this is why I always say I don’t like college football as much as other sports. Sour grapes sure but there are seemingly always 2-3 teams that are ridiculously better than the next best teams I don't know how long you mean by always but the disparity is clearly bigger now than it's ever been. Every year Bama or Georgia sets a new record for highest average star rating in a class or whatever. And you can expand the playoff, fine, but playoff stuff is incidental to the talent accumulation. Kids go to Bama and Georgia because they have better facilities, crazy fan support and it's closer to home for most of them than going to a Midwest or West Coast school. Their playoff domination is just an outgrowth of that.

If they lose to Pitt's #3 QB, that will be quite something
-
I don't know if you have NBATV, but they've picked up several Bulls games already. And there is some limited flexing of games as the season goes on (the Bulls got flexed out of one last year, I recall), so that will probably be coming.
-
No Mustache Man confirmation yet, but UCLA has dropped out of tonight's Holiday Bowl, so that makes 5 canceled bowls.
-
Not my favorite thing I've ever read. Most of those were Kizer on a Browns team that was openly tanking, but still
