  1. I really dislike that teams are able to push the QB forward now.
  2. Hope you betters took this gem. Got it at +900.
  3. Minor nitpick but they lost in the West semis last year. Warriors beat the Mavs in the West Finals. Doesn’t change your overall point of course.

  5. I’ll believe it when he sits out the entire 2023 season.
  6. I'm going to need someone to explain to me exactly how Chelsea is able to spend nearly $350M to bring in new players in January while selling one player for $15M after spending nearly $320M in the summer while only selling 3 players for a combined $60M. I mean we already knew FFP is a total farce but come on. This is absurd.
  7. Congrats to Tyler Huntley on making the Pro Bowl following a 658 yard, 2 TD, 3 INT season!
  8. I bet on Hurts right after that season. He stayed at Bama and sat the bench behind Tua, despite being 27-2 as a starter and leading his team to consecutive national championship games (won 1, which obviously Tua took over). He then went to Oklahoma and put up a Heisman level season. He was just a guy I never counted out as an NFL QB. I thought he might be a 6th round pick and mostly a career backup who becomes a head coach after his playing career, but I knew he would have success on some level in the NFL. From all accounts, just a really good dude, who I wished all the success in this league. All credit to him for putting in the work. It’s a hell of a transformation. In addition to what you mentioned, the following season when Tua took over, Hurts also came on in the SEC title game when Tua got hurt and led a pair of TD drives to help them beat Georgia.
  9. I'm still steaming. What was the bet you had?
  10. If you would have told me in 2018 after I watched Jalen Hurts get benched at halftime of the National Title Game because he went 3-8 for 21 yards that he would be the quarterback of a team in the Super Bowl I would have... -not believed you -asked if you meant running back rather than QB -asked if 2 other QBs on the roster got hurt -stood in stunned silence He didn't even average 150 passing yards per game that season and only completed 60 percent of his passes.
  11. The top 5 teams in the West right now are the Nuggets, Grizzlies, Kings, Clippers and Timberwolves. Those teams have a combined 1 NBA finals appearance in their collective histories and it was the Kings in 1951. Before today, the Pelicans were the 6 seed and they've never made the finals either.
  12. I only saw the end of the game, but the questionable calls looked mostly right to me. The grounding call was right, imo. The shove out of bounds at the end had to be called. Was it earlier in the game where you disagree? The Chiefs were getting calls all game and away with things and the 49ers absolutely got horsefeathers in their game too. Maybe the outcomes end up being the same but the Eagles and Chiefs got a lot of help. The Eagles were going to win anyway once Purdy went down and then especially when the backup went down too.
  13. Oh man was that a super dumb penalty.
  14. I assume we're talking about Ovechkin here? Oops. Yeah. I had an opening sentence and then deleted it.
  15. Ovechkin… In 2018-19, he became only the 4th player aged 33 or older to score 50 goals in a season. In 2019-20, he would have become only the 2nd player aged 34 or older to score 50 goals in a season if not for the pandemic (48 goals in 69 team games) In 2021-22, he became the oldest player at 36 to score 50 goals in a season. In 2022-23, he's on pace for 50 goals again. If he gets 50 this year he'll be the only player with 10 seasons of 50+ goals. A few years ago my dad and I were talking about his chances of catching Gretzky for most goals in a career and while it seemed like he had a shot at it, it didn't necessarily seem likely. Now it seems like a matter of when not if. Gretzky at 37 scored 23 goals in 82 games, at 38 he scored 9 in 70 games and then he retired. If it wasn't for the lockout in 04-05 which lost the whole season, the lockout in 12-13 and then Covid shortened years in 19-20 and 20-21, he could have the record already.
  16. The AFC seems like it's set up for another run similar to 2003-2018 where Brady, Manning or Roethlisberger won the conference every year except for the year when Joe Flacco played like a HOFer for 4 games. Those three had 22 of the 32 AFC title game appearances too. Things can obviously change but Mahomes, Burrow and Allen aren't going anywhere anytime soon. Those three have combined for all 6 AFC Champ apps the last three years, 7 in 4 years and 8 in 5 (Tannehill in 19 and Brady in 18).
  17. Love the garbage time FG.
  18. What I need is a manager who is willing to set his team out to attack from the start of the game rather than waiting for the second half. 39 goals scored in the league this year. Only 12 of those in the first half, 6 at home and 6 on the road. 15 goals in the second half at home, 12 goals on the second half on the road. Game after game they do nothing in the first half. He sets them up like they're a bottom 5 squad playing on the road against a top-6 team. Prior to today they'd scored 1 1st half goal in their last 10 games. Could have had ten Hag before the 2021 season. Instead they stupidly went with their 12th choice then fired him after 17 games. Outside of a good 10 game stretch to end last year it's been a disaster since they fired Poch.
  19. I think they give him one kick. Shank it and he’s done. So then you don’t have a kicker the rest of the game? They’re fools if they don’t sign a new kicker before Sunday. True. I guess it would depend on if they think their punter can make kicks.
  20. I think they give him one kick. Shank it and he’s done.
  21. I want Dallas to win by 30. Then they can lose next week.
  22. Yeah, them huddling with 40ish seconds left and not just calling a TO was weird. They had two left.
  23. Reminds me of the Mich-TCU game.
  24. Buffalo shooting themselves in the foot. Two picks and a long punt return.
  25. 1st half Spurs have 4 shots, 2 on target. 2nd half in the first 10 minutes they have 4 shots, 3 on target. It doesn’t make sense why they can’t play like that right from the start and the only thing I can think of is that’s how Conte wants them to play. They do it at home and on the road, against good teams and bad, in the league and the UCL. Also, LOL Lloris. [tweet] [/tweet]
