  1. Hackett fired in Denver. Elway should be fired too, but he has plot armor.

    NFL Week 16

    Broncos fire Hackett. Terrible hire to begin with.

    NFL Week 16

    If the season ended today, Jacksonville would be the #4 seed in the AFC

    NFL Week 16

    Lions are completely [expletive] the bed
  5. I’m in Florida, so no Bears game in TV. This state sucks in every way.
  6. That’s a lot for Conforto coming off a terrible season
  7. Reds are eating $20M+ to DFA Moustakas
  8. Barnhart is the definition of “meh”
  9. So, is this deal still valid?
  10. Sexy, and with no talent around him. Imagine what his numbers would look like if he were on a team like Philly, or basically any other team with NFL talent. Our imagination is all we have, as this dumb team will never get him Philly-level talent
  11. Nah, the 100 Million he's giving them in luxury tax payments will buy him plenty of goodwill 1/29th of $100 million isn't enough to offset Cohen exposing their grift
  12. He just became the least popular owner at the next owner's meetings
  13. Cohen is paying everyone in Crypto, so the actual value of the payroll will be $27 million by 2025
  14. [tweet] [/tweet] [tweet] [/tweet] [tweet] [/tweet]
  15. That's true. That's also true in Alabama, Clemson, etc.
  16. Yea I was admittedly surprised as I looked up thr overtime rules and found out wasn't a golden goal situation. Sounds like they did it for a while before abandoning again. Is there some purist arguement against it? Golden goal makes for terrible soccer in most cases because teams play so conservatively for the fear of that one slip up. In theory that should be better with the current extra time rules, but often it's similar and teams are just waiting for PKs, which aren't great but save us from endless bad and static play. Player health/conditioning becomes a concern at a certain point too. My favorite variant on this is playing golden goal, but every few minutes(let's say 5) both teams take a player off the field. So by the end of the normal 30 minutes of extra time you're playing 6 v 6 which makes basically every possession a transition moment because of how much space is everywhere at all times. It also encourages teams to go for goal when they're closer to full strength before the chaos of being short handed sets in. Yeah, I was curious if this would work. The 3v3 OT in hockey is a fun way to open up the ice and allow more scoring opportunities. Is the soccer field just SO big that reducing the players becomes ridiculous?
  17. giving up 150 in regulation is a fancy trick
  18. Denver won, thank you very much
  19. Make that 2 TD
  20. It's sad that if/when the US ever wins the World Cup that the collective reaction will be 5% of the excitement of literally any other country.
  21. That was Madden easy mode running. Holy horsefeathers
  22. Suh slaps Fields in the head, no call
  23. lol
  24. Crazy that the goalie could even make an effort on the second save, what with taking the first shot squarely between the eyes
