Can't argue with that
-
Schwarber wasn't really seen that way at this time last year. True, but I think he was considered a lock for the majors. He certainly acted like he didn't think he belonged up there
-
Last year it was just a few guys who were on the verge of coming up (Bryant, Schwarber, CJ, etc. )

That's how it is pretty much everywhere. In the Midwest, yes In the plains states as well, I'm guessing. It's the same thing up and down the northeast corridor. Every community outside the major cities has huge amounts of born and raised and never left. Until they retire to Florida

Butler went 21 for 25 from the FT line The rest of the team went 5 for 6

I don't really have a value judgment about moving away from home or staying put. I moved every 2 or 3 years growing up (I went to 6 different schools from K-6th grade), which has made adapting to new environments really easy for me. I'm coming up on 8 years in this house, which is by far the longest I've every lived anywhere. Conversely, my sister lived in Pennsylvania for basically her whole life (she was 6 when we moved there), and as such, has no desire to ever leave.

Columbus is exactly the same way. I feel like I'm the only one of my neighbors, friends and coworkers who wasn't born in central Ohio. Everyone has lived here their whole life, their entire extended families are here, and they have no thoughts on leaving. Sure, they may venture as far as Dayton or Athens or Miami (OH) for college, but then they come right back.

My 10 year old daughter is at a softball catching clinic right now and they're learning pitch framing #winning
-
Spring training is going to feel like it's 17 years long this year. Wake me up for opening day
-
Well that was entertaining as hell
-
Ok, not super impressed on defense. Clemson with two huge blown coverage plays leading to scores
-
Clemson is impressing the hell out of me.
-
KC is the hottest team in the league
-
We're going to somehow end up with a Pittsburgh vs Seattle Super Bowl so that I can hate everything
-
All Lewis needed to do was take his headset off and go out there and get his guys after the Burfict penalty. Instead, he stood there like Dusty Baker, letting his team go nuts and it cost him the game.
-
That was a Ronnie Lott hit
-
I've seen 2 really bad ones unfold with vested interests (Jake Delhomme 08 and Ryan Lindley last year) but that one was pretty bad. 134 yds on 44% passing with 4 INT and a fumble. Ouch
-
This has to be a top 3 worst postseason performance of all time for Hoyer. Maybe #1
-
Watt and Maclin hurt on the same play. Brutal
-
Sorry, Houston, you can't win in the playoffs with no QB
-
When was the last time they did AFC one day, NFC the next? Isn't it usually mixed up?
-
The packs and stubs are almost entirely for a mode called Diamond Dynasty, which involves collecting baseball cards and building a team from those players to compete with other players online. If your focus is primarily going to be on regular season or franchise modes, the extras aren't a big deal

I only think 8 teams will happen if the first round is played at home stadiums Why? You think fan bases won't travel? Enough will. You have six access bowls currently. 4 of them will be quarters and the other two will be semi's. Rotate them every year. The national title game will be its own thing. The amount of revenue from boner pill commercials and other ads that would come about from 4 New Years Day playoff games would be staggering. Money is king. Any issues that pop up regarding fan bases traveling or compensating players for the extra game can be worked out. I think it's a lot to ask fans to travel three times in three weeks.
