  1. Weird call. They just played their way back into a tie for first instead of giving themselves OT to stay a game up
  2. Lions over Cardinals, just like we all predicted What a weird year
  3. Showalter is 65 years old Showalter is 12 years younger than Tony LaRussa
  4. Where does Rizzo end up if the Yankees sign Freddy Freeman?
  5. Yes, we get that coaches are giant hypocrites who chase money then get all “college athlete” when it comes to students doing the same. Can we stop shaming young adults for wanting to make money?
  6. its like a balloon and a buffalo, but not a balloon shaped like a buffalo So a balloon-shaped buffalo?
  7. That had a 0.1% chance of turning out well
  8. THAT was a good play call
  9. Neither side has any incentive to concede right now.
  10. Patriots win with Mac Jones throwing just 3 passes all night
  11. .500 teams and teams on pace for ~10 wins holding playoffs spots is not a new thing. True, but it's still gross
  12. Goodell's wet dream of every team being mediocre (oh, sorry, "something something parity") is coming true, meaning that teams like Washington, San Francisco (both 6-6) and the Chargers and Bengals (both 7-5) are currently holding playoff spots.
  13. It's an odd week, so the Bengals suck. They'll beat whoever they play next week 35-3
  14. Better than I thought. Saw a lot of rumors around Penn St vs UCLA or Arizona St
  15. Harbaugh remains a total weirdo, but good job UM
  16. Georgia's reputation for crapping the bed in big games continues
  17. Really? Because their vaunted defense is getting carved up in the 2nd quarter
  18. If you are rooting for chaos, this is a good start
  19. Tennessee Titans say "what?"
  20. Taysom Hill is kinda bad
  21. By the box score, it looks like Ball shot the Knicks back into the game
  22. And Grizzlies are missing their best player. Box score: https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401360154
  23. The owners are dug in. This will take forever They’re dug in until they aren’t. They’ll come to some sort of agreement (good or not) before losing a season or part of a season. The thing that's [expletive] (not just now, but for the past forever years) is that ownership/Manfred always decry the chasm between the large and small market teams.....that they created themselves. It's an artificial complaint that they use for leverage and everyone knows its crap. One of the richest owners in the league is the owner of the Guardians, but he acts like he has no money. They're all billionaires; the large/small market thing is negligible.
  24. This is so optimistic but how can you feel this way? They've had months to negotiate and walked away after 7 minutes yesterday. What will create the incentive between now and February that wasn't already there? I don’t think they’re really that far off from a deal/middle ground in reality. There’s no huge asks by either side it seems they can’t sort through. Everyone can have a few weeks here to get their sound bytes and tweets and what not out to sound mad or whatever, but I think end of the day they’ll get something done sooner than later (in terms of losing games/affecting the season). The Covid season negotiations may have helped a bit too since they had to sort some similar things out for that. The owners are dug in. This will take forever
