I kinda think that's roughing based on that replay, and it really sucks for Oregon to lose 15 as a result of it
-
It's a 1 possession game against an offense that's known for scoring insanely quickly.

Matt Cassel had 33 pass attempts at USC and got drafted Right, but he exhausted his eligibility. Cardale isn't turning pro early to be a 7th rounder. I brought this up last week. The local radio show asked Adam Schefter what the chances of him going pro were, and Schefter didn't even know Cardale's name, and said that he had heard no NFL people talking about him at all (and this was after the Sugar Bowl). Maybe tonight changes things, we'll see Well that reflects really poorly on Schefter

Just give Nick Saban a call on how to prep for him. Ought to be out of the league almost instantly with his 6 months of prep.

Have you been watching the game? I know, total blowout city Oregon's been moving the ball just fine as usual. 2 big 3rd down drops have killed them. Hopefully they give them the bonus points they deserve for that.

I don't really understand the Phillies's motivation to get older, more expensive, and less team years of control in seasons they clearly don't care about. -

Homophones confuse them.

2014-2015 Chicago Bulls Regular Season
SouthSideRyan replied to SpongeWorthy's topic in Other Sports
Yep, it's gotten to the point that I can't have a well-reasoned discussion about the Bulls anymore. -
2015 Bears Offseason (Foxy new Head Coach page 104)
SouthSideRyan replied to Magnetic Curses's topic in Other Sports
Yep, one beer ought to put a professional athlete well over .08. He didn't do a breathalyzer, fwiw. Which probably tells you something. -

Who was our old water efficiency partner?
-
Isn't Price a FA after 2015? Does he even have any surplus value?
-
I slept through most of that, how'd we manage that?
-
I don't think we'd offer less than league minimum.

So if someone gets hurt late in their career, they are probably on steroids. Oh, and also if they don't get hurt, too. Got it. Only if you didn't like the guy. You just passed Sports Journalism 101

I imagine this carries through 2019.

I'm not turning a blind eye and don't give a [expletive] about who used what. I am greatly annoyed that the narrative is Sammy Sosa, proven steroid user, most other guys, clean all-american boy. Honestly, I don't get that impression at all. For one, I think people would talk about McGwire the same way even if we didn't have the proof we ended up with. I see Bagwell even come into question, and he never seemed to blow up out of nowhere, from what I remember. There's like a handful of the big HR hitters of that era that I feel get the pass that you're talking about. Thomas, Thome, and Griffey come to mind. Yes, and the 3 of them combined failed as many tests as Sosa did, had as many indictments as Sosa did, have the same smoking guns that Sosa did. I think the only difference (and the main thing that gets those guys the pass) is the (perceived?) lack of a dramatic body change. It's stupid, but those few guys are clearly the outliers. Thomas was an SEC football player and Griffey was constantly injured late in his career(Which is clear sign of steroid use. That or staying healthy for too late into your career) Oh and in addition to those guys everyone who didn't [expletive] tons of home runs or was a pitcher not named Clemens.(This will probably include admitted user Andy Pettitte.)

I'm an optimist, I want to believe there's a guy with all 4 of them on the ballot together.

Unless you're talking about corking his bat, you don't know that. Oh, come on. We know he did (well, assuming you consider using steroids to be cheating given the landscape of the game at the time). And that's fine. They all did (mostly). They all still should. Why even bother clinging to like the 2% chance that it was all Jeff Pentland? Because a 2% chance means we don't know he did? Because everything we "know" we have 100% irrefutable proof of. Most things we "know" we have some proof of. I don't think I'm setting the standard too high here.
