what are you wtf'ing?

I'm guessing they are just broadcasting the NFL Network production as has been the case previously. don't nbc and cbs switch off producing thursday night football/NFL Network broadcasts now? (i.e. nbc doing that madden angle a few weeks ago on TNF)

[tweet] [/tweet] So NBC will handle the production on this game? I like that.

it's a lot easier to say before actually witnessing the breakout/comeback season over 6 months. look at the numbers being bandied about for 30 year old no defensive value jd martinez after an absolutely insane second half (not that he wasn't a very good hitter before that). he's looking for over $200M.

Is there a woman's sport worth watching, though (coming someone who has actually placed wagers in Vegas on WNBA games)? Tennis can be entertaining, I suppose. Then again, I don't even watch men's college sports (and only 3 pro ones) so I'm a bit of an elitist here. That's your horsefeathering takeaway? I've been thoroughly entertained by the US women's soccer team for a long time now. I enjoy women's hockey, curling, skiing, speed skating, swimming at the olympics, some gymnastics if forced to watch, the occasional women's golf major. Beach volleyball is an absolute pleasure. Tennis is significantly more entertaining than the men's game. I don't watch the WNBA, but I don't watch the NBA or NCAAB either. I don't care about men's or women's track, but if you like one there really isn't much reason to not like the other. Same with ice skating. UFC and all other combat sports are dumb things for stupid people to watch no matter the gender. Anyway, Andy Benoit wrote that Russell Wilson isn't that good even though he's tough to face because offensive coaches need to focus on making offenses predictable. You missed the edit (I think?) because I lazily made that post when I was 3 sentences in. But yeah, I forgot about the Olympics. Those are sort of fun. I'd never watch men or women compete in any of that stuff normally but I can consume it in those 2-3 weeks or whatever it is. The truth is, I don't really get much enjoyment out of any sport I don't have a rooting interest in (Cubs/Bears/Bulls or a game that I convince myself means something to one of those 3 teams - or a bet). I also don't think Wilson is so much better than Stafford for that take to be that insane (I think Stafford is underrated - and their passing numbers are pretty similar this year...Russell has more team accomplishments but has also had a fantastic defense behind him - Russell's mobility puts him over the top), but the rest of what Benoit wrote is hilaridumb. That whole nonsense about the guy he'd want to play with being the same guy he'd want to play against or whatever is one of the most devoid-of-logic things I've ever read.

Let's say Chili Davis pixie dust magically turns Heyward into a .290/.390/.500 guy next year (lmao) with still beyond elite defense in RF resulting in like a 7 win season (that's a pulled out of my ass guess at what that would be) Do you hope for opt out or no opt out? (I hope for opt out still)

Is there a woman's sport worth watching, though (coming someone who has actually placed wagers in Vegas on WNBA games)? Tennis can be entertaining, I suppose. Then again, I don't even watch men's college sports (and only 3 pro ones) so I'm a bit of an elitist here. That said, this take on Wilson is just criminally dumb.

i wonder if this is the system the bears have been implementing with their qbs [tweet] [/tweet]

4th or 5th? Morrow, Strop and Carl are all easily better. Monty may even rank ahead of him for me/some and if Wilson decides not to be a bum he could be better. I'm not at all sure Strop is *easily* better. Even Carl is debatable...too walky.

Soooooo about this

reminds me of

I'm not sure how to take that comment TBH i see it as he feels with the uptick in stuff from pitching in short bursts, he can deal with walking a guy (maybe in pursuit of a chase) at least in part because he can get more strikeouts (or weak contact).

He’s such a dolt was he the one with the report on anibal sanchez signing with us? pretty insane that that was basically 5 years ago (to the date)

lol Nightengale is like clockwork

out of curiosity, who is making personnel decisions for the marlins right now?

go get him theo!

oh jeez did this guy replace mooney? i figured he was just some damn cardinals fan. nah he'd been csn's secondary cubs guy for a while

go get him, theo

bring back mooney

i don't like the idea of the cardinals getting very good players who make little money, but maybe i'm nuts.

it would be hilarious if niko suddenly turned into a stud just as the bulls were trying to tank

is Reed supposed to be close to signing with someone or something? Well, he was linked to a team, then they overpaid on Tommy Hunter. yeah, that was the last i had seen.

I horsefeathering hope not 100% agree. but it's starting to feel that way. is Reed supposed to be close to signing with someone or something?
