  1. Agreed he should drawn up a make the shot play. Or not call a timeout with only 2.2 seconds left.
  2. What the hell Alabama? Terrible coaching at the end.
  3. Quick google search of jwmann2 shows that he has posted on every forum known to man. Quite impressive.
  4. They haven't been getting enough 15 yard penalties since they let Incognito go.
  5. So, Miami's gotta be out of the Manning sweepstakes, right?
  6. Schefter saying Wayne is re-signing with the Colts for 3 years.
  7. Dude, it's like $3 for the whole tournament. I know, but it's only today and tomorrow's games I would need to stream and I'm not interested enough in the games to pay.
  8. What the hell? You have to pay stream games this year? Boo.
  9. Just so reliable. What the [expletive]? What the what? Just trying to figure out what in the hell they're thinking/doing. I think Shanahan has dementia.
  10. Just so reliable. What the [expletive]?
  11. I'd say most people would have Kansas, because they're perfect in everything except 3pt shooting in the infographics.
  12. Manning makes so much sense for the Chiefs that I'm gonna be a bit pissed when he doesn't sign with them. Most cap room in the NFL, good offensive pieces in Charles, Bowe, Baldwin, McCluster and Moeaki, a pretty good defense and a weak division.
  13. Mizzou scheduled Illinois, ODU and Villanova, all on the road. Really pisses me off. and 2/3 of those teams sucked. The other is a good midmajor. Missouri clearly should've known that those traditional tournament teams were going to be bad this year when they were scheduled a year ago.
  14. rWAR is from baseball reference, fWAR is from fangraphs
  15. Mizzou scheduled Illinois, ODU and Villanova, all on the road. Really pisses me off.
  16. Committee guy saying Missouri was the #8 and Kansas was the #5. Wow.
  17. Beltran was 4.4 rWAR and 4.7 fWAR last year.
  18. http://c0014219.r32.cf1.rackcdn.com/x2_b68e3ec
  19. The Pirates were 1 game better than the Cubs last year.
  20. Very unrealistic. Not enough cars flipped over and on fire.
  21. More dimensions does not mean more variability in abilities. The guys who can't do them very well don't make it to the big league unless they rake. I know that people want to add in crap like being a field general or really good at pitch calling is a real thing, but it's BS. The bench sets the D. Either directly or by relaying it to the catcher who sets it. The only time they're the field general is when they're shouting out cutoffs telling an infielder they can cut down a lead runner. The pitch calling stuff is covered in extensive meetings with the pitching coach and pitchers where they get scouting reports on opposing players. Catchers that aren't good at remembering reports don't make it far. Pitch framing is probably real, but would take a massive amount of data because of all the crap data - blowouts, 3-0, 0-2, etc - and seems like it would be highly volatile anyways. Catcher isn't a position where you can fool coaches like a fast outfielder or steady handed infielder can. If you can't do it you're not long for the league. It's why guys like Henry Blanco play into their 40's.
  22. Bad defensive catchers or guys who aren't good at all that stuff you cited don't make it and stick at the MLB level unless they absolutely rake. The overwhelming majority of MLB catchers are no hit all defense guys. That makes the gap between great and average very small.
  23. Here's how the STL Post Dispatch is trying to spin it... lol
