  1. A Utah State safety was just ejected for a shoulder on shoulder hit on a receiver.
  2. He's been far greater than his numbers indicate. He's had some seriously bad luck (.331 BABIP, 2nd highest in the majors), but he's got a 3.53 FIP and 3.55 xFIP and a 3.4 WAR (according to FranGraphs) and if you care to put stock into their "Dollars" metric, he's been worth $15.5 million this year, but it sounds like the Marlins are souring on him because of his traditional numbers being so pedestrian. Seems like this has been his issue for the last 3 years: 2009: 5.06 ERA // .317 BABIP // 3.35 FIP // 3.23 xFIP // 4.3 WAR // $19.2m Dollars 2010: 4.51 ERA // .316 BABIP // 3.86 FIP // 3.37 xFIP // 2.5 WAR // $9.9m Dollars 2011: 4.67 ERA // .331 BABIP // 3.53 FIP // 3.55 xFIP // 3.4 WAR // $15.5m Dollars Sounds like he's the victim of some terrible defense, might be a good person to try and swindle if they're seriously tired of his performance. Maybe attempt some sort of package surrounding Zambrano? He's currently signed through 2013 and stands to make $9M next season and $11.5M in 2013 At what point do you look at the BABIP numbers and say and wonder if it's not really bad luck, but merely getting hit hard because his stuff is in decline? He's had injuries, and the strikout rate really plummeted this year. Touché, but the BABIP is more or less just a justifiable stat that compliments what his FIP, xFIP, and WAR says: That he's been far better than advertised. Isn't BABIP basically baked into those other stats so assuming a higher natural BABIP in them would crash his scores in them?
  3. Really, that clip solely validates that movie's existence.
  4. Would it be more or less weird if it was the Raiders instead of the Bills? The Raiders have been better over the past 15 years or so but have a more recent history of being really, really bad, so... neither
  5. Can we get a hybrid Mel Gibson/Mormon religion that believes the Vikings killed Jesus in America?
  6. Weird play. Got to challenge it either way
  7. It was also the poster child for "screwing your future teams in the hard salary cap era with deferred payments"
  8. The only reason I can think of is to allow coaches to use challenges on other plays. Probably under the guise of getting as many important calls right as possible. And yet we have a system where they don't overturn completely obvious non-TD plays.
  9. Yeah, whoever heard of a team getting a field goal after recovering an onside kick with only a minute to get 25 yards? No, the Bears probably wouldn't have won, but your post is ridiculous.
  10. Disgraceful performance after the fumble by the Pittsburgh linemen. And there, a receiver dodging a dback lying on the ground after an interception, allowing a big runback.
  11. Didn't you also guarantee a name change? wow, can't believe that just happened. i can't change my name dip [expletive]. It's not hard to do. Urlacher!
  12. But Davis, never hold the ball like that again.
  13. Didn't you also guarantee a name change? wow, can't believe that just happened.
  14. Well, that ends that.
  15. I like how Cutler didn't move an inch on that
  16. That head ref gets more exaggerated and deliberate with his movements every year, I think
  17. 6 plays, -11 yards so far this half.
  18. That puts Forte negative on the day.
  19. The Bears have had what is it, one or two of their runs go for positive yards?
  20. Oh good, now the grass has sharp objects embedded in it. I didn't realize it could get worse
