  1. That was the 4th time this year that Carolina was destroying an opponent and had to hold on for dear life. Next week maybe just go up by 14 points.
  2. This game ended when Maclin got hurt last week.
  3. I really wish I could watch him more often.
  4. That seems to be the scuttlebutt, that he likes Kaepernick.
  5. I'd never heard of this guy before he was hired, but getting to that height in an on-air career with CP is [expletive] impressive, so good for him
  6. The cool kids all hate Schilling, but on air Kruk sucked far more. Glad to see him go. Should be a much more entertaining product now.
  7. NFL owners approved the Rams' move to L.A. by a 30-2 vote. Rams moving. The Chargers have a year to negotiate a deal to join them, after which the Raiders can move there instead, though indications right now are they will remain in Oakland.
  8. Pretty much every good player for Clemson not named Watson is either out or well below 100%. Herculean effort by Watson tonight.
  9. There's a different Saban rumor every year. He's a [expletive] god in Alabama. He gets to pick which 25 (or more if he feels like it) of the best HS players in the nation he wants to have on his team every year. His employer basically gives him infinite money as pay, as well as infinite money to hire whomever he wants and however many people he wants. No one cares if his players are functionally illiterate or commit a crime (although, to be fair, he seems to have less of the latter than many in his position might) because he loses 1 game a year. He'd be a moron to leave.
  10. Cespedes got it written into his A's contract that he wouldn't receive a QO
  11. Wut? Carolina. Their path has to be one of the hardest for a #1 seed I've ever seen. Just venting mostly, I think they're better than Seattle, but that game will be a dogfight.
  12. 15-1, #1 seed, and the reward is having to beat the 2 time NFC champs, the hottest team in the league and the greatest QB/coach ever to win the Super Bowl. NE, meanwhile, gets KC without their best offensive player, then either an injury-decimated Steelers team, at home, or a decrepit Peyton Manning. That's fair.
  13. Lewis, Burfict and Jones might as well be fired/cut tonight.
  14. I've seen 2 really bad ones unfold with vested interests (Jake Delhomme 08 and Ryan Lindley last year) but that one was pretty bad.
  15. I just love losing games in large part because the other team spent the first 30 minutes making every [expletive] shot they tossed up including 10/14 3s
  16. It is, this is very unusual.
  17. 8 is only happening if first round is campus sites. And it should also include the removal of conference title games. 16 games is a bridge too far for college athletes. Revenue from the games would be made up with the extra round.
  18. FWIW, I don't think it's doing that on Tapatalk.
  19. I don't particularly care, but in all the 'the ratings are way down' chatter I didn't see anyone note that NYE and NYD might not be super comparable, what with NYE being maybe the largest party/group get together/not watch the TV individually day of the year. Maybe the ratings are still down after taking that into account, but it seemed like an obvious (if only partial) explanation that I didn't really see. Maybe I wasn't looking close enough. Huh? Are you making a joke? Everybody noted that ratings were down because they aired on NYE which is a terrible day/night for television since people go out partying. On a side note, they've also successfully reduced any interest in the national title game by apparently holding it the day after MLK day. MLK day is a week after the title game. But you touch on a point that annoys me about all the bellyaching - it seems to me that it's at least as inconvenient to fans - and certainly to younger fans - to have the national title game ending past midnight Eastern on a weeknight as it is to have semifinal games on New Year's Eve (which is a day that I imagine anyone who actually cares enough to watch the games can take off work). But no one seems to care about that.
  20. I have never in my life seen so much pissing and moaning from any group of people about something so wildly unimportant as from the college football media sphere about the playoff games being on New Year's Eve. It's gotten to the point where people are actually angry on behalf of ESPN and Disney, which are only worth about 5 floppity-jillion dollars.
  21. The idea that the SEC has 5-7 top level teams is ludicrous. Florida was flat out bad by the end of the year. Tennessee lost 4 times. Ole Miss list to Memphis. Everyone else was worse than those teams are. The SEC was Alabama and very little else.
  22. No idea on earth why McCaffrey didn't win the Heisman.
  23. Jaylon Smith was about the only good ND player left without a season ending injury, so of course he gets one. This season is [expletive] stupid
  24. Saturday blackouts ended in 2014. The only games blacked out on Saturdays are the Fox games airing in market. Other Fox games aren't.
