    Everything would have just been better if they had built the McDome in the mid 90s. It probably would have been a ****** stadium, but the site would be good and they could have put the eventual rebuild on the same site. But McCaskeys wanted bear weather or whatever.

    The sight lines and intimate experience are definitely a plus for once you're inside the stadium. If they weren't having to accommodate the collanades they probably could have done a better job with concourse, exits, and such. But you can't add 20k seats and keep what's good about it currently. It's still a really terrible site until they come up with a solution to make the Metra tracks as the main public transit source into the stadium area including connecting the other nearby transit options in a low hassle way. Roosevelt stop just isn't very close or convenient at the end of the day (if it was a straight shot maybe, but it can't be). Obviously by car the site will never be good, which would be fine if the public transit wasn't pretty meh too. And yea, most stadiums suffer from congestion, but SF has always seemed particularly weak in that department, even for less dense events.

    He 100% has no idea what he's doing, right?

    Yep. Both of my sisters cheered competetively so I sat through my share of cheer competetions. I'm surprised it's not higher, honestly. It's basically gymnastic floor routine on steroids. Plus there's like 20 of them out there flying around.

    Yea, headers are banned in most leagues at the youngest ages.

    I'm not even sure there's scientific consensus from doctors on this, but there's at least some thought that the bigger danger of football is all the small collisions and not the major ones. So the "soccer/basketball is just as dangerous" thing may not even be accurate, even though those sports will have their large share of collisions and head injuries.

    While it's still going relatively strong and will continue to be around, it certainly has not gone unscathed. Lots of programs have folded or gone to 8 man. Lots of freshman or JV programs have been eliminated. Most varsity programs are running at lower numbers than 20-30 years ago.

    Misunderstanding chest bump/hug!
  9. WrigleyField 22
    Okay apparently every Wikipedia entry looks like this. Extremely Y2K energy, wiki.
  10. WrigleyField 22
    Whatever it is it's hilarious. I'm assuming the teams official sponsor is PS1
  11. WrigleyField 22
    Yea I got that part, but why is the official entry on Wikipedia designed on a 240p pixel resolution.

    ROFL what the hell is this uniform graphic on Wikipedia for Utah https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_Hockey_Club

    The D is good enough that the floor confidence level should be pretty high the rest of the way. The O confidence level on the other hand... Well rookie QB, even a Caleb Williams. Once he breaks through though, there will be no turning back.

    You didn't get the memo? Run game is back baby
  15. WrigleyField 22
    Ah, I thought you were saying traditional cable. Then yea, YouTube TV (or a few others) basically stand in as a mid tier cable package replacement (for slightly lower cost and better dvr, from my research).
  16. WrigleyField 22
    You can definitely cut the cord without doing those things, though the cost savings have narrowed considerably (for equivalent packages). A lot of it comes down to just how much you want to compromise on. Cable doesn't really require you to often make restrictive TV decisions. But cost is more (especially if you truly want everything) and it's not necessarily the easiest to get up and going (boxes, cables, contracts, whatever). Steaming TV can be up in minutes on any smart TV.
  17. WrigleyField 22
    Eh, I kind of agree solid wasn't good enough for them and what they are trying for (and there's kind of weird market dynamic at play vis a vie cost to retain), but they talked themselves into ignoring all the risks and red flags of Watson, which was really bad.
  18. WrigleyField 22
    Yea. No one should give up on Caleb. Even if he does have the stink of the Bears QB history behind him. But it's also okay to admit he isn't even a average QB right now. The generational stuff set expectations unreasonably high to begin with and he hasn't even been non-generational #1 pick good. But he has a string of games with a real opportunity to settle in. Would love a solid 250 yard zero To game in next several weeks (or a couple).
  19. WrigleyField 22
    This is the exact RB absolutism that should be avoided. None of it isn't based in some solid empirical evidence, but to say never is just wrong. Again, things like OL play being highly correlated to running game doesn't preclude the RB talent from mattering a whole heck of a lot.
  20. WrigleyField 22
    Damnit Fields!
  21. WrigleyField 22
    Andy Dalton might as well be a HOF compared to Bryce

    Bad news for CAR pick trackers ! https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1835736746367005042?t=otGewvhq_YDZU3Ttm5xhXw&s=19
  23. WrigleyField 22
    Woof
  24. WrigleyField 22
    Of all the pedantic moments on nsbb I didn't expect that to be the one to get the reaction
  25. WrigleyField 22
    Agreed
