  1. He got suspended 1 game for the Charlotte one. Neither of the Pacer ones even got a flagrant 2. The Collison hip check was called a flagrant 1 during play and not upgraded after the game. The elbow to Stephenson was not called on the floor at all, and was upgraded to a flagrant 1 after the game. I think if the Collison hip check happens during the regular season that's def a flagrant 2 and he probably is suspended for a game or 3, but since it was the playoffs no way they do that.
  2. To stop being ladyboys who can't stay healthy over a regular season+playoffs

  4. Protest that [expletive]
  5. I don't think there's any equivalent to the Cardinals "Best Fans" twitter account. It's not possible. I know I am going to regret this but what is the Cardinals "best fans" twitter account? please to enjoy https://twitter.com/BestFansStLouis/ That's delicious

  7. I'll guess it opens GB -10.5, could see it getting up to 12-13 by game time
  8. Mike Pouncey was served a subpoena relating to Hernandez after the game in New England today. http://deadspin.com/mike-pouncey-served-with-aaron-hernandez-related-subpoe-1453124063
  9. WTF, Dez Bryant
  10. Stafford is [expletive] awful
  11. I've watched quite a few Patriots games, while his receiving corps is one of the worst in the league and the drops are factors, but he's been pretty awful on deep passes. I've seen him badly miss guys on 20+ yd passes fairly frequently.
  12. Yup, he's been pretty bad this year. I'm sure his receiving group is partially the reason, but still.
  13. Which one of these QB's has the worst completion percentage, 5th worst QB rating and 2nd worst yards per attempt amongst this group? Terrelle Pryor Sam Bradford Tom Brady Carson Palmer Ryan Tannehill Joe Flacco Geno Smith Mike Glennon Colin Kaepernick Christian Ponder Chad Henne
  14. Kris Bryant isn't wrecking the game, he is the mother [expletive] game
  15. Just about right on queue http://deadspin.com/cardinals-minor-leaguer-thinks-jon-lester-is-a-cheater-1451341587
  16. Manning's "likability" literally played no role whatsoever when it came to getting their new stadium built.
  17. I kind of expect him to make it to the majors before Javy and have a more immediate impact. Not that I think the gap is that large.

  19. Follow up to the follow up, if Trout hits FA at age 26 and he still is as good or even better than the player he is now with no signs of slowing down what is a fair contract then if 15/450 is just too much for an introverted, speed dependent player?
  20. Hopefully Mike Trout stumbles upon this thread and learns he needs to tune his game to be less dependent on speed and has to hire a group of life coaches, psychologists, sociologists, and just generally charismatic and outgoing people to teach him how to better improve his introverted personality. Or else he's never getting that big contract if he keeps doing what he does.
  21. This isn't serious is it? Doesn't seem too far off to me if Trout continues his pace (which would make him one of the greatest players of all-time at the age of 26). As good of a pure baseball player as Trout is, I don't see him being the iconic marketing superstar and revenue magnet that someone is going to pay half a billion dollars for. Nice kid, but not exactly dripping with charisma and personality. If you sign him through his age 41/42 season and he continues on his relative path you presumably have him while he's chasing 500-600+ career HR's, 3,000+ hits, and becoming one of the all time WAR leaders (which should be a bigger/more known and widely accepted metric by then). There's plenty of marketing potential in there. Not to mention you have one of the best players of all time during most or all of his prime, I'd hope/think there are a few winning seasons/deep playoff runs in there that obviously increases revenue. If you have one of the best players in your sport you are going to get endorsements even if they aren't overly charismatic, look at Rose.
  22. As is Steve Kerr. He's great when he comes on Simmons podcast.
