  1. Come on now you aren’t gonna get more opportunities in a football game. Cash in.
  2. It’s pretty terrible.
  3. Vegas knows, or has a very strong tell, what the Bears are gonna do on offense. I know Crosby’s great but it’s more than that.
  4. The exposure of our line is horrific.
  5. Yeah we aren’t going to win with Crosby blowing up every play obviously.
  6. Are they tipping their plays or something?
  7. BJ must’ve taken one look at Roschon and thought yeah…no.
  8. Diamondbacks are officially eliminated. Plus they aren’t very good. We are going to need one more win.
  9. Day games for sure. If you are vacationing in Greece, sitting out by a pool or restaurant on a beach, watching Cubs playoff baseball? Yes please.
  10. I’ve followed MLB from overseas before, it’s kind of fun. Not sure if they block it now but years back MLB.TV let you get the games internationally with your subscription.
  11. Still no starter listed for the game this afternoon.
  12. I love ChatGPT for what it can do in terms of crunching a ton of info and putting it all together. RE: Caleb Williams being hated on sports talk radio. Here's what people were saying about Josh Allen after he was drafted: Absolutely—here’s a solid cross-section of what “sports talk” voices were saying about Josh Allen during his 2018 rookie year (and right around his selection), with direct quotes and dates. Colin Cowherd (FOX Sports Radio, Aug 31, 2018): “He’s got the tools, but he can’t put it together against an elite defense when the game speeds up.” FOX Sports Radio Rodger Sherman (The Ringer, Apr 27, 2018 — day after Round 1): “I would consider any team that used a first-round pick on Josh Allen to be the biggest loser of the first round.” He added, “There are just so many videos of him missing easy passes so badly.” The Ringer Riley McAtee (The Ringer, Apr 26, 2018 — draft night): “The Bills Paid a Premium to Take a Massive Risk on Josh Allen… the draft’s most volatile passing prospect.” The Ringer Kevin Clark (The Ringer, May 1, 2018): “Buffalo’s decision to trade up for the unproven Josh Allen sent the league in the other direction.” (contrasting Allen with Mayfield as an “analytics” pick) The Ringer Danny Heifetz (The Ringer, Dec 10, 2018): On Buffalo’s offense with rookie Allen: “The offense flirted with finishing as the worst unit adjusted for era in NFL history… [with] 8 passing touchdowns and 20 interceptions” to that point. The Ringer Local Buffalo sports-radio snapshot (WGR 550 context), Jun 6, 2018: A WGR producer, Ryan Gates, followed through on a public vow to quit if the Bills drafted Allen, underscoring how polarized local talk was at the time: “A Buffalo radio producer said he’d quit if the Bills picked Josh Allen. So he did.” SB Nation Dude actually quit his job because the Bills picked Allen. That's got to be the king of all fails.
  13. These “sports talk” clowns are almost universally worthless. Nobody should care what they say because there are a ton of topics where their take was completely wrong. They just move on to the next controversial take and everyone forgets the previous discussions. It’s like market “experts.” They make 10 doom and gloom predictions. 9 are wrong. 1 is correct and they trumpet how awesome they are at predicting markets. Nobody’s keeping score so they don’t remember the 9 wrong ones.
  14. Yeah, just felt like they shut him down way too early in the game for it to be a precaution. Always hoping for the best outcome, but I can't say it's surprising.
  15. Just the disappearing offense syndrome. At least put up a fight and post some crooked numbers.
  16. Small sample size but this dude doesn't give up many runs 🙁
  17. Fair. Prior to that he was a mess, but those numbers suggest he had come out of it.
  18. I don't know how you can make a blanket, all-or-nothing statement like that when there are guys like Barkley out there, and typically those kind of special players are known before the draft. First 3 games of Jeanty's career should be indicative of nothing. Sure, he could bust but the same is true of all high first rounders. What I would say is: overall I'm leery of drafting an RB high in the first round, unless it's a guy who most people think is an exceptional, game-changing type of RB.
  19. In fairness they did spend a good portion of the 4th Q in prevent. But I agree they weren’t as good as the scoreboard showed. Timely turnovers.
  20. Unknown on Tucker, but I like the idea of bringing him back after a good rest. He was all kinds of jumbled.
  21. There’s been an inordinate amount of cray cray for sure.
  22. Because there are other teams clearly better on a lot less money.
  23. Maybe it’s not unfortunate. Maybe it’s what should be done.
