That ump should be immediately be fired. That’s not just incompetence. Thats just pure spite at what doesn’t even seem to be that bad of an overreaction.

This is why Conte sucks. Sure, you can’t just invent a win. But you sure as shit can actually try to win a game that you have to win. You don’t have to set up in a 3-5-2 (or 3-4-3) with two of those midfielders being wingbacks. Throw an extra attacker on there and go with a 4-2-3-1. I’d much rather have my team go for the win and get bounced losing something like 3-2 or drawing 2-2 because they gave up a couple goals on the counter instead of the limp dick display Spurs put out yesterday. And the subbing on a defender for an attacker at the end was hilariously pathetic. It’s like he thought there was a third leg in the tie and was trying to keep it close.

Now that the season is effectively over hopefully Spurs send Conte back to Italy on the AC Milan team plane. In a game where they needed at least one goal, Spurs had 0.09 xG in the first half. They ended up with 0.98 xG total over the two legs.

Is he worth 5/$250 million and two 1st Round picks? Seems to be injury prone the last few years. And with the running he does, I only seem him getting injured more often. Derek Carr got $100M guaranteed and Daniel Jones just got $82M guaranteed. As Tom said, Lamar is a former MVP. He threw 36 TD passes in a season that year while Daniel Jones threw 36 TD passes the last 3 years combined. Even the last two years he threw 16 and 17 TDs, each of which would be the second best Jones has ever done. Could Lamar be injury prone and never live up to the contract? Sure. But sometimes you need to take the risk. He's 26 and his ceiling is a top-5 QB. These guys don't become available every year so you need to do what you can do to get one. I'd much rather my team take a big chance on Lamar than spinning the QB roulette wheel in the draft every couple years and drafting Zach Wilson, Sam Darnold and Christian Hackenberg (2nd rounder).

So with the new pickoff rules, say a pitcher throws over twice. Then he throws over a third time and the runner takes off for second. He gets into a run down but makes it back to first. Does he still get 2nd base because the pitcher disengaged with the rubber a third time without recording an out?

Still a chance according to this Link "At 14-19 and without a conference title to their credit, the Titans are ineligible for the NIT and NCAA Tournament. However, Davis could still break Maravich's record if Detroit is invited to a postseason event such as the CBI or The Basketball Classic, which allows teams with records below .500 to compete." Maravich set his record in 83 games over 3 seasons. Davis has played 143 games over 5 seasons. The idea of the record being broken because a bad team got invited to some 3rd rate tournament just for the sake of allowing the record to be broken would seem very unsatisfying to all involved. But regardless, great career by Davis the son of legendary IU coach Mike Davis. :hello: Agreed. If they were a top 3 seed in their conference it would be different. But they were 8th in the Horizon League. Sucks he came so close to the record without getting it but that's life.

That just means our medical staff hasn’t done anything yet. Once they get involved it will be moderate to severe in no time!

Really? I always thought that was Meph. Again, that's the joke. Lol. Oops. Missed that part while skimming though. Who was involved in the GoT spoilers then. Related to spoilers but I seem to remember someone spoiling when Rita died in Dexter in a Game Thread because someone used to have the name Dexter Morgan (17 Seconds maybe?).

Wait really? I'm shook. Must be confused cuz of the cheese sauce and posts about drinking a gallon of apple juice to cut down his sugar intake. yeah the gravy is 100% for sure not da bum. it was some rando Didn’t Bum have something to do with chili and wasn’t that related to Windermere?

Well it only took 60 years but Wilt no longer has at least half of the 70+ point games in NBA history.
-
I’m guessing he got the yellow because he got the shoulder first so the intent wasn’t to slap him in the face. But it’s definitely surprising they overturned it. I don’t think that was a clear and obvious error to give him a red.
-
How does Ziyech not see red for this? The referee has the yellow card out right after the foul for Ziyech. Then after the red is downgraded, he still gets a yellow for the slap. So at the very least it should have been two yellows and a sending off. I think a straight red might have been a bit harsh but it falls in the “I’ve seen it given” category. I just don’t get how you forget to card the guy you were going to card at the beginning. EDIT: Commentators post game saying the initial yellow was probably for Havertz (which he did receive) and not Ziyech so if that’s true I rescind my question.

It’s really a shame that the catcher was allowed to hold the batter back to prevent him from getting into the box and therefore getting the strike called. Oh wait he just took too long. The clock is there. You know it’s there. Get in the box. it’s really a shame none of this matters even thought MLB thinks it does. They’re not expanding the game or making more money, it’s just a dumb thing. Can’t wait for a serious game to be affected by this rule nobody cares about or doesn’t bring in new fans. This just isn't true in any way.

Kings beat the Clippers 176-175 in 2 OT tonight. It's the second highest scoring NBA game ever behind Pistons-Nuggets in 1983 which finished 186-184.

The new pitch clock rule is great. Don’t need batters stepping out and adjusting their gloves over and over again and I don’t need pitchers taking 25 seconds between ever pitch. Get the ball, get your sign and pitch. Or grab your bat, step in the box and get ready to hit.

https://www.espn.com/soccer/mls/story/4883685/mls-adds-best-of-3-series-to-expanded-playoffs-2023-season Not an MLS guy here but a best of 3 series in the first round? What’s the point of that (besides money of course)? Sounds like an incredibly dumb idea.

Both GKers made awful mistakes to give away a goal. Liverpool falling apart in the second half. Assuming they don’t turn it around, this will be the fourth time in the last 6 seasons Real bounced them from the UCL. Final in 2018 and 2022 plus the QF in 2021. They won it in 2019 and lost to Atl Madrid in 2020.

[tweet] [/tweet] Penalty or no? I didn’t think much of it at the time because it didn’t seem intentional and he was only a couple feet from the ball so ball played the hand. But the halftime guys both said they thought it should have been a penalty. If we just made handballs like these indirect free kicks we could avoid some complaining from whichever side felt wronged.

That was a pretty entertaining Dunk Contest.

For those who don't want to click the link, he asked for $10.75M and they wanted to pay him $10.01M. The Brewers won the case. -
Regardless of what anyone thinks of the call I think we can agree on this. Would have been fun to see it play out with Philly getting the ball back with just under 2 minutes left.
-
Given the situation, it was awful. If you make that call in the 2nd quarter of a Bears/Lions regular season game, it wouldn't be a huge deal, but deciding an extremely well played Super Bowl on a ticky-tack touch foul is inexcusable. Nah. If you're going to call it in the second quarter you call it in the 4th quarter too. I hate the "let them play at the end" BS. A penalty is a penalty regardless of when it happens. If they didn't call it, I don't think I would care either. But I also don't really care that they did call it. If you're going to grab a receiver twice, you run the risk of it being called.
-
Not an awful call. Iffy call, sure. Not awful.
