    And just as I say that... [tweet] [/tweet]

    We have been talking seriously about switching to YouTube TV, but the loss of the RSN's is killing that idea. Marquee isn't a problem for me, as I'm out of the blackout range, but losing local sports is a sticking point (even with MLB.TV, it would mean losing nearly 40 games of the season between Reds and Pirates blackouts).

    Freakish measurable are something to get excited about when the freak is also freakishly skilled at the position. penn state guys prefer to see the measurables in younger prospects.
  4. Derwood
    Of course he's talented. That's not my point. The combine is a place where everyone goes crazy about hand size and vertical jumps and 40 times, as if those are the only things that matter (as opposed to, say, actual game play)
  5. Derwood
    in an offensive tackle they are Why? When is full sprint speed ever useful for that position?
  6. Derwood
    Freakish measurables at the Combine aren’t anything to get excited about.

    Unpaid internships are a fairly common thing. They shouldn’t be

    Much better than the old commercial break graphic, that's for sure! I'll take the "commerical break" graphic all day over them showing the exact same commercial every half inning

    Also, Carr isn't very good

    17 game seasons, 14 team playoffs and a million games in London are all things that no fan has ever wanted

    Nice win. I continue to be impressed with what Penn State has managed to do this year, but I fear they'll get that cursed 5-12 matchup and get ousted in the first round
  13. Derwood
    Site is stlll intermittent

    The NFL is gaslighting the hell out of the players. "This is the best it will get, each CBA is going to get worse for you going forward". horsefeathers right off

    Missed your opportunity to start a new site and curate your membership. Now you're stuck with me
  16. Derwood
    Sorry if this was already answered, but what’s the deal with MLB.TV? Only blackouts I ever have on there are pirates games. What’s Marquee’s agreement with mlb.tv?
  17. Derwood
    Delightful
  18. Derwood
    And in order to pay for these pay raises, they will just shutter 20 or so minor league teams
  19. Derwood
    Classy moves today by the Astros. Force Bregman to read a prepared statement, take no questions from the media (for the players), then shove Dusty out there to answer all the questions when he wasn't even involved
  20. Derwood
    That's funny, because I don't see any of those. Yeah, I don't know how many times the guy who insists on sharing Trump tweets seemingly can't figured out that these ads are tailored to each person. Somehow, SOMEHOW, I also never get these ads. Weird. I also get 1-800-Flowers and OfficeMax ads, but I don't post tweets from them
  21. Derwood
    I hope Tim has been able to buy a second boat with all the "Trump is on a roll" ads that he's selling on here
  22. Derwood
    Yup. The NFL will start paying attention to them if they start poaching guys before they ever go to college (though the end result may be the XFL turning into an NFL Developmental League) Not sure getting 18 year olds will end up making sense, but maybe they could get involved with the "transfer" game. Rather than sit out a year, potentially put up tape immediately that spring and then declare the next year. I think there are a decent number of high school players who would gladly skip college and start making money at age 18
  23. Derwood
    I think they'd have to do something extreme like allow 18 year old players to join. That would generate some round the calendar buzz, much in the same way that college recruiting does now. Yup. The NFL will start paying attention to them if they start poaching guys before they ever go to college (though the end result may be the XFL turning into an NFL Developmental League)
  24. Derwood
    I thought you were exaggerating but holy horsefeathers, the 18-33 Wizards are only 3 games out of the playoffs. Jesus, the NBA is awful
  25. Derwood
    So I assume that the people here looking for ways to move Quintana are somehow comfortable with 40% of our rotation being Mills and Alzolay? Or is a big comeback from Chatwood somehow a thing?
