  1. Penn State was missing 4 players. They just sucked out loud
  2. Do a lot deals normally get announced in the days before/after Christmas? I’m not surprised it’s quiet.
  3. Now we're into the holidays, so I don't expect much to happen until January
  4. This team was 5-14 and now they're in playoff position (after losing their "best" player). Wild
  5. The Bears have played themselves out of a Williams/MHJ draft (no mocks have Harrison dropping past #3)
  6. I guess the Yankees lost the "evil empire" tag years ago, so someone had to take up the slack
  7. I forgot to add the "if I bet, which I don't." My bad
  8. 2 seconds shorter on pitch clock and wider running lane from home to first. Also: With men on base, pitchers will have 18 seconds instead of 20 to begin their motion to home. However, there won't be any changes to the clock when the bases are empty. Hurlers will still have 15 seconds to begin their delivery in those situations. According to the league, pitchers began their deliveries with an average of 7.3 seconds remaining on the 20-second timer in 2023. Barring an injury, a pitcher who begins to warm up at the start of an inning will now be required to face at least one batter. Previously, they could be replaced during or after warmups. The league said there were 24 instances last season where the pitcher that warmed up between innings was replaced before throwing a pitch -- adding approximately three minutes of dead time. Mound visits will be reduced from five to four per game as the league said they rank among fans' least favorite events in baseball. Teams averaged only 2.3 mound visits per game in 2023 while, according to league data, 98% of games last season would not have exceeded a limit of four visits. Umpires will permit defensive players to signal for a mound visit without actually visiting the mound to help improve pace of game there, as well. Teams will still be awarded an extra mound visit for the ninth inning if they've used four after eight innings. The pitch timer will now reset after a dead ball as soon as the pitcher is given a new one and play is set to resume. He no longer has to be on the mound for the clock to reset, preventing the pitcher's ability to delay a restart by walking around the edges of it. During pitching changes, if the clock is under two minutes as the reliever exits the bullpen and onto the warning track, it will reset back to 2:00 rather than 2:15 as it did last year. The league withdrew a proposal to reset the pitch clock as soon as a batter calls a timeout. Umpires will continue to use their judgment as to when the clock starts again.
  9. I would bet large sums that he ends up a Yankee
  10. Thank you for fixing the text color in the GIF search menu
  11. The #1QB in the class flipped from Georgia to....Nebraska? 4-star WR Jeremiah McLelland flipped from OSU to Oregon. Buckeyes taking some hits today
  12. Happy NSD! Penn State and Michigan with disappointing classes (currently 14 and 16). Ohio State in danger of both of their top DL recruits flipping
  13. Yet another huge win for a backup QB
  14. Eagles went from unbeatable to losing 3 straight
  15. Does anyone trust these coaches with a rookie QB?
  16. Who thinks that?
  17. Why would they broadcast "their plan" for you to approve of?
  18. Alright, cut Mooney immediately
  19. That's about 90 yards worth of dropped passes
  20. This is completely on the coaching staff.
  21. That was a great throw. See what happens when you step into your throw?
  22. how will they walk away with only 3 points here?
  23. Of course they drop it when Fields actually makes a good throw
  24. There have been various reports hinting that the Cubs aren't sold on PCA as the opening day CF
  25. Both deep throws by Fields today were off his back foot. Shockingly, neither were close to the receiver
