Nah, it comes down to that 12th man in the huddle. If not for that, it was an automatic run call for the next play and Longwell probably would have come through. Bingo Favre could have tucked it and run, picked up a few yards and gotten them back to where they likely would have been had they not had the penalty. He didn't have to try to force a throw like he did. He could have thrown the ball away if he didn't have it in him to run, to boot.

Bingo Actually, it comes down to the timeout called with 19 seconds left. They should have let the clock run down, called timeout, and kicked the FG.

I want the following things to happen: 1) Brett Favre retires 2) Vikings draft Tebow as a QB 3) Brett Favre unretires

Is there really more to do in Jersey than Indianapolis?

I like this, but please keep it to a one year deal. -
Cubs Top 10 Going into Next Season
Outshined_One replied to THISisTHEyear09's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
I think Cashner's the most likely candidate out of the Top 10 to end up with the Cubs at some point this season. It's easy to envision Lou Piniella being unhappy with the bullpen and wanting Cashner up as soon as possible to add reinforcements and have a guy who can easily be shuttled back and forth to help with roster issues. -
New or old? Metrodome, sure. I forgot about the new one, I don't think I've seen a game played there. It's actually a really nice stadium. Pictures

Cubs hire Greg Maddux as special assistant to the GM
Outshined_One replied to Tim M's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I was going to say that but you beat me to it. Maddux is definitely the type of great player who you could see becoming a great GM or manager but great players don't seem to do well in those roles. I just don't think they can relate to a majority of players because it was always so easy for them. Jordan would be a great example. Greatest player ever IMO but can't evaluate talent worth a lick. Jerry West is the only great player that could really evaluate talent that I can think of. Ozzie Newsome is in the NFL HOF and has done a great job as the GM of the Baltimore Ravens. It's rare, but it's not unheard of. -
Link After the Cubs sale dragged on forever, I'm curious to see how this one will go down.

Strong argument for him getting in on the first ballot.

Aroldis Chapman to Reds
Outshined_One replied to Bruno7481's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
That all depends on what my scouts tell me. There are a number of people who think he is one of the best pitchers in the world and has the potential to be a legitimate ace. $30m is not a bad price to pay if your scouts, coaches, developmental personnel, and the like are all convinced of this. As things stand right now, yes, I would rather spend that money through other international signings and the draft. -
Aroldis Chapman to Reds
Outshined_One replied to Bruno7481's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
In fairness, how many of those $1m players are likely to become as good as Chapman currently is? How many of them would have a ceiling comparable to Chapman? -
I'm convinced both teams would score triple digits if the NFL had college OT rules.

I've seen a lot of innuendo that Carroll to the Seahawks might go down in part because USC's program is about to go down in flames. Link

The shovel pass call was the horrible part of all that. Texas gets the ball back and, rather than kneel, they decide to run up the middle, which resulted in a sizable gain. Texas then called timeout, rather than let the clock run out to go to half. At this point, I figure they're going to try for a deep pass down the field. If it gets picked off, the odds of Alabama returning it for a TD are pretty minimal. Even if Alabama picked it off, there only would have been a few seconds remaining and it would have been well down the field, meaning Saban would have likely taken the knee to end the half. However, if the deep pass succeeds, Texas either ends up with a TD or they run like hell down the field for a spike and a FG attempt. All of that is fine in my mind. But then...the shovel pass was called. I simply don't get that call. As he was going in for the half, Mack Brown claimed it was a high percentage play; that it was a safe call. That makes no sense. He had a really young QB with limited experience behind center. Alabama's DL had been getting penetration all night. Moreover, the probability of a shovel pass getting Texas within FG range, even if it worked, was fairly small. Had the RB caught it clean, I don't think he would have made it very far. The DL seemed to have him covered. I really don't see how that play was supposed to result in a favorable outcome for Texas.

Link Just in case any of you out there were still concerned he might join the Cubs.

Notre Dame, imo.

Kimo von Oelhoffen won't be around to save the AFC this time.
