I’ve hit that state where they’ve pissed me off enough that I am no longer living or dying with their performance and it’s pretty nice. And, given the current state of things and their upcoming schedule, it should make the rest of the season pretty fun regardless. Basically, I hope they come together and get to any sort of playoff spot but if not I won’t be mad anymore.

I know it’s “just” twitter and we all mess up time to time blah blah blah But a freaking national reporter using “here” instead of “hear” makes me cringe.

Somebody send GRCubs the link to this thread. There may be enough Ross bashing for him to dip his toes back in NSBB waters.

What eliminator game would anyone suggest taking? I used Seattle last week and honestly want to keep the Patriots for a tougher opponent than the dolphins. I picked Baltimore.

Binny's Beverage Depot probably hasn't had to donate horsefeathers to that poor food bank this year

i think the el trains are kind of cool (only rode on one once when i was 7 and went to wrigley). also wth is wrong with hot dogs?

Tough crowd

same. i'm just hoping i can somehow hopefully fall asleep sooner

i'm just saying i hope the best for him

I've always wanted the best for Soler. Glad he's had success there I'd be legitimately happy if Soler is one day known as "Mr. Royal"

Our small collection of Cardinals fan here all signing on to argue with each other is the most NSBB thing ever

horsefeathers OFF, ADDISON

SCORE SOME [expletive] RUNS

Yep, the best poster on this board. CR and TT are kinda tied in my heart tbh. Don’t make me choose, please

They like him enough for him to be on the 53 when he comes back from suspension. Keeping 3 QB's on an active roster is rare. He's going to play this year. On the other hand, I'm not sure if Hoyer is actually coming in to play; he's coming in to hold a clipboard and mentor Brissett and Kelly. Being Brady's backup for 4 or 5 years has surely taught him some things he can pass onto the younger guys. So, 9 million to be a second QB coach? Is that more likely than the fact they don’t like Kelly as much as you seem to?

Navin, as always:

Yu now throws 10 different pitches I think. The Cubs will surely win and he will strike out 11 and walk one. One homer cause dude gets bored I guess and giving up a solo homer to braun when the cubs are already up 6 is fine. Braun takes one in the rib next AB for being a douche. the theme is 90's TV gifs. I'll start.

Thought i was the only one

That Castellanos bat slam gave me goosebumps

Yeah, he did what he thought he had to do. The timing is the main thing for me, but it's his life and his body and his decision. The Colts really screwed him with that OL for years.

I think the one big thing you are missing is that the injury was supposed to be minor. Luck gets hurt. He thinks it's going to get better in a couple weeks, and the doctors back that up. It just needs some rest. There's no reason to think about retirement at that point. Now fast forward four months. It still hasn't healed. 3 different MRI's have been taken, and nobody seems to quite know what's wrong. So now it's turned into a long period of exploration/rehab/playing through pain. It's probably been very frustrating for him, and that's why suddenly the retirement thing started looking better and better. The Colts are likely in the same place if he had retired in June as now. Obviously if he had retired before the draft that isn't the case, but that's right around when he got hurt. Yeah and I mean I get that. Again, I’m trying to look at this objectively as possible. I never played even a snap of pop warner football (and maybe that’s my disconnect). But, it would seem to me if this were solely a personal decision that the timing of it just seems inconsiderate of the other 70+ players out there trying to win in 2019. I’m probably showing my stupidity because I know nothing of being a professional football player. But so far as I can tell it seems a little bit inconsiderate to do this now when so many of his teammates are counting on him. Yes, it’s his decision and if I was a Colts fan I certainly would be disappointed but say no more than I’m saying here. It’s his decision and his right but that doesn’t mean it’s not kind of fucked up for his teammates. I get it’s disappointing and frustrating for a perceived minor injury to be misdisniagosed (Yu signal shines into sky). But, that doesn’t change the fact he was signed to play this year and has a ton of people relying on him to fulfill that commitment. He’s a QB and not all positions/talent is created equal. He has a bigger impact than their backup left guard.

Basically, if it was mental well-being then I get it. One hundred percent. But he’s referenced the physical aspect along with “the life he wants to live”. Again, I get that but it’s the end of August, he should have made up his mind before summer if that was the case. Though, I guess counterargument is a passionateless Luck is no better than a healthy Jacoby Brissett. Again, I don’t know, I’m conflicted.

I don’t know I guess this is a meatball take on the Luck situation. Feel free to blast me and it’s likely I’ll agree with a good argument. I’m not fullly in on this take but just my initial: The guy hurt his foot/ankle/leg sometime this spring. In that case it hurt and I get it, but why is that not the time to soul search and figure out if you want to play football anymore? Instead it’s some kind of miscommunication between him and the team and such and it’s carried over until a week or so before the season starts. I fully supported Josh Gordon stepping away from football (and hope he’s fully rehabilitated now) last year. If Luck was feeling as Gordon did and he’s not in a good mental place then that’s another issue altogether. But what I’ve read is he didn’t want to rehabilitate and was tired of getting his body busted up. Again, that’s a fine decision if not for all the other guys counting on you for 2019 and busting their ass with the assumption you would be leading the offense. The whole thing is just bizarre to me.

I'm at work now so I'm afraid to do that here but I'll have it for tomorrow and sunday. how do the players weekend jerseys look?
