  1. [tweet] [/tweet] I think you meant “very bottom of our consideration list”, Rob.
  2. What a wild day. The top 6 teams in the AP Poll all lost plus #9 Texas Tech. Going to go out on a limb and guess the top 6 teams have never all lost on the same day before. I wouldn’t be surprised if the top 6 teams haven’t all lost in the same week before.
  3. At this point, gotta hope that last window doesn't matter and you can leave him off then put him on the WC roster There’s only one window left.
  4. Unless someone on the Wisconsin side said something racist to provoke Howard, yeah, he’s probably gone.
  5. Just get rid of the dunk contest at this point. There's always the potential for it to be amazing but it so rarely comes anywhere close to being good.
  6. Have to say I didn’t see Spurs doing the double on Man City coming into the year.
  7. The only way we’re getting 162 games at this point is if Bob Nightengale tweets out that there’s no way they play 162 games this year.
  8. [tweet] [/tweet] Solid rant here.
  9. From the end of that Chamblee thread. Someone who pays more attention can correct him but he certainly tears into Mickleson. https://www.golfchannel.com/news/mickelsons-statements-inaccurate-and-ironic-obnoxious-greed-et-tu-phil
  10. Yeah, wasn’t it 1 sack in the first half and 6 after? And that’s not counting the final play when Burrow was about to get sacked. It was some point in the 2nd half they said the Rams had 3 or 4 recently and only 1 before it. Bengals has issues with the OLine all year so kind of fitting they lost at them end because they couldn’t hold up on two plays with a yard to gain.
  11. Clearly someone missed the Bengals being gifted a touchdown on what should either have been a face mask or an offensive PI.
  12. Someone needs to remove all of the running plays from McVay’s play sheet. It’s not working and he needs to stop trying to run it.
  13. Can’t remember where I heard it but I always liked the idea of tying the DH to the starting pitcher. When the SP leaves, the DH is gone too. Pretty much eliminates pitcher hitting but still includes the late game strategy. Plus if you really wanted to be strict with it and tie it to the SP regardless of how quickly the SP gets pulled, it would put a big damper on the opener unless a team just wanted to sacrifice a position player immediately.
  14. I’d be fine with Castellanos also.
  15. Men’s short track 1000 meters. In both semi finals, a South Korean skater got DQ’d on questionable calls allowing a Chinese skater to advance instead. So the final ended up with three Chinese skaters and two Hungarian skaters. Oh and the two Hungarian guys are actually Chinese. Then in the final a Hungarian guy wins the race but gets not one but two penalties allowing a Chinese guy to win. Nothing fishy about that at all.

  17. On another note, apparently Harden was picked last among the reserves in the ASG draft. Durant even took Gobert with his last pick instead of Harden. That’s some good stuff.
  18. I'm not a sports psychologist, but I'd have to imagine that's almost by definition a mental health issue. Nah, that’s being incapable of handling criticism.
  19. i don't follow the simmons situation too closely, but it could very well be that his mental health issues are real and also exacerbated by the situation in philly, for whatever reason. like it's pretty clear that guy has some stuff going on. Is it possible he wasn’t making it up? Sure. But based on all of his actions since the summer and the timing of when he claimed to have mental health issues (he returned to the team so he would stop getting fined, then got suspended for conduct detrimental to the team and then claimed to have mental health issues) I think it way way more likely he did it to keep getting paid. It worked because the Sixers stopped fining him for a bit before resuming the fines, though not fining him nearly as much. Is refusing to shoot because you can’t shoot a mental health issue? I suppose to some extent it is, like a baseball player having the yips. But quitting on your team and refusing to even try to get better all because they criticized you after the playoffs isn’t a mental health issue.
  20. Cue Ben Simmons’s mental health issues magically going away.
  21. Can we get Jokic to take out this Morris twin also? The Clippers don't play Memphis again otherwise I'd suggest Steven Adams do it. [tweet] [/tweet]
  22. ManU just had a goal ruled off for offside but it was a weird one. Harry McGuire essentially set a screen on the defender who was watching Varane, who ended up scoring the goal. McGuire was offside when the ball was kicked and was judged to have been involved with the play even though he didn’t go after the ball at all. Therefore no goal due to offside. Never seen that one called before.
  23. Blazers trading McCollum to the Pelicans. Pacers trading Sabonis, Jeremy Lamb and Justin Holiday to the Kings for Haliburton, shield and Tristan Thompson.
  24. [tweet] [/tweet] Good work, US Soccer.
  25. I wish outside of Mexico and maybe Costa Rica, we’d just play these games in the best conditions possible. Warner weather, better field, field size you prefer. As TT said, the worse conditions favor the underdog and even things up. That’s why the other teams play us on awful fields all the time. Mucking it up gives them a better chance at a result. well, the panama game is in Miami . . . supposedly this was all about shorter flights . . . which is asinine. Yeah, that's a BS reason. Every window we've had more travel than this. In September going from El Salvador (Sept 2) to Austin (Sept 5) to Honduras (Sept 8). In October, we had no issue going from Panama City on Oct 10 to Columbus on Oct 13 for Costa Rica. They're trying to be too cute with how they schedule the home venues.
