  1. Butler went 21 for 25 from the FT line The rest of the team went 5 for 6
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. My 10 year old daughter is at a softball catching clinic right now and they're learning pitch framing #winning
  5. Spring training is going to feel like it's 17 years long this year. Wake me up for opening day
  6. Well that was entertaining as hell
  7. Ok, not super impressed on defense. Clemson with two huge blown coverage plays leading to scores
  8. Clemson is impressing the hell out of me.
  9. KC is the hottest team in the league
  10. We're going to somehow end up with a Pittsburgh vs Seattle Super Bowl so that I can hate everything
  11. 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.
  12. That was a Ronnie Lott hit
  13. 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
  14. This has to be a top 3 worst postseason performance of all time for Hoyer. Maybe #1
  15. Watt and Maclin hurt on the same play. Brutal
  16. Sorry, Houston, you can't win in the playoffs with no QB
  17. When was the last time they did AFC one day, NFC the next? Isn't it usually mixed up?
  18. 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
  19. 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.
  20. I only think 8 teams will happen if the first round is played at home stadiums
  21. Throw a couple bucks Tim's way and see how quickly he turns on us
  22. Based on my experience last year, you can just wander in off the street and attend everything (outside of autograph sessions) without paying for a convention pass
  23. Rumor is that TB was so afraid of losing their OC to another team that they sacrificed Lovie
  24. 1 or 2 players per year is fine. 7 or 8 is silly. Less than 1% of the players who have played in MLB are in the HoF.
  25. Johansen is lazy. He played below his potential for a few years, had a great season last year, got paid, and then showed up out of shape again. He's been terrible. No one will miss him. He's not the franchise player
