  1. UCF’s quarterback just suffered a bad injury. Looked like a broken leg. They didn’t show a replay.
  2. I love the ESPN Playoff Machine. Also managed to get one with 21 teams to 9-7 and one with 23 teams at 8-8.
  3. Giants-Saints was 52-49 in 2015. Only 5 games have ever gone over 100. Record is Giants-Redskins in 1966, final of 72-31. Nope. And nope. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest_scoring_NFL_games I'm not sure what you're looking at: It also shows 4 100+ point games (the fifth by football reference was in 1948): 113 points (New York Giants vs. Washington Redskins, 1966) 106 points (Cincinnati Bengals vs. Cleveland Browns, 2004) 101 points (Oakland Raiders vs. Houston Oilers, 1969) 101 points (New York Giants vs. New Orleans Saints, 2015) So how exactly am I wrong? EDIT: Other than the mistype of 31 instead of 41.
  4. Giants-Saints was 52-49 in 2015. Only 5 games have ever gone over 100. Record is Giants-Redskins in 1966, final of 72-41. EDIT: Fixed score.
  5. Nobody cares about my FCS team but... UC Davis won more than 6 games for the first time since moving up to FCS, went 9-2 and is the #6 seed in the FCS playoffs. I’m horsefeathering stoked. Dan Hawkins is the coach and they’re a fun team to watch only scored less than 40 twice this year, against Stanford and against Eastern Washington, who is the 3 seed. Hoping they can at least win their first game and we’ll see what happens from there. Go Ags!
  6. Nice win for Washington State today, 55-14 over Arizona. What’s that? *checks score again* Sorry, that’s the score at halftime.
  7. Was looking up deGrom’s numbers and saw he had a 1.98 FIP. So I looked up who had the lowest ever and it was Christy Mathewson in 1908 at 1.26. Out of the top 17, only one was after 1910. It was 1999 Pedro at 1.39. Next best post 1910 was Doc Gooden in 1984 at 1.69. As if we needed more proof that Pedro was insanely good.
  8. If you’ve got 13-0 Clemson, 12-0 ND, 12-1 Mich/OSU, 12-1 WVU/Oklahoma and 12-1 Georgia, Bama isn’t getting in. They’d be ranked over a 1 loss Notre Dame and probably a 1-loss Washington State but that’s it. Bama only got in last year because Ohio State lost twice and then beat Wisconsin in the Big 10 title game. Clemson, Georgia and Oklahoma all had 1 loss and got in before them and Wisconsin was the 5th. If Wisconsin beat OSU, Bama would have been out since Wisconsin was ranked 4th by the committee before the conference title game.
  9. Yeah but it would definitely take away Michigan’s potential spot. Alabama has played so damn dominantly that it would be hard to see them dropping completely out with a neutral loss to a 1 loss team. I think Bama gets left out in that scenario. The reason they got in over OSU last year was because OSU had two losses and the second loss was by 31 to Iowa. If OSU had won that game and went 12-1 with the Big 10 title, they’re in and there’s no controversy. They might have gotten in if they lost that Iowa game by less than 7 also.
  10. Watching live, it looked legit at first. Guy sticks his arm out right as the Bama player dives then puts his arms up like he didn’t do anything (which seems to happen on like 98% of blocks in the back). The difference is in this case he didn’t do anything. And the ref hi threw the flag was in the right position but that happened to be the worst view to make that call correctly. But yeah, the ref blew that thing horribly.
  11. http://isgrudengoneyet.com Well this site popped up a couple weeks ago so can’t be that popular.
  12. Ah, I was only thinking future draft picks not former 1st rounders. I get what you’re saying now. I don’t think they know where they’re playing next year. It won’t be Oakland and the Vegas stadium won’t be ready yet. I read one report that the UNLV stadium is an option.
  13. It’s cool. We’ve got 3 1st round picks in the draft next year and that’s basically the same as winning a Super Bowl. They traded away 2 1st rounders. Net gain of 1 extra first round pick. Likelihood that any of the 3 first rounders are Khalil Mack good? Not likely. Picks in the top 10? Their own. Bears and Dallas picks will likely be no better than late teens. In 7 seasons with Tampa, Gruden drafted 61 players and only 3 ever made a pro bowl. 2 guards and Aqib Talib. Talib didn't become a pro-bowler until he got to NE. Which 1st round picks did the Raiders trade away? Mack was two firsts, a third and a sixth for Mack, a second and a fifth and they got a first for Cooper. And don’t get me wrong, the Raiders are a disaster and a joke.
  14. It’s cool. We’ve got 3 1st round picks in the draft next year and that’s basically the same as winning a Super Bowl.
  15. To be fair the Cubs and Red Sox are only time this decade. A lil pissed Red Sox one because before this year Cubs were arguably the best World Series Champion since the 114 win Yankees in the late 90s. Red Sox had the best record in 2013. And I know you said this decade but there's also the 2009 Yankees and the 2007 Red Sox. So that's 5 times out of the last 12 World Series that the best record in the majors won the title. Before 2007 you'd have to go back to the 1998 Yankees for the next one. So like usual, Smoltz has no idea what he's talking about.
  16. Klay hit 14 3's tonight in only 27 minutes. He had made only 5 3's in 7 games this year but hit 6 in the first quarter.
  17. Phillies are favored for Machado, Harper, co favorites for Pollack (+150), tied for second on Donaldson (+250), tied for third on Kimbrel (+500) and tied for fourth on Keuchel (+650). Just tells me the bookies are pretty confident Philly will overpay for someone.
  18. Hue Jackson got fired. Don’t know how the Browns will survive this.
  19. This game is not helping Kershaw’s reputation at all.
  20. That was dumb to throw the ball to first. You’re straight on with the runner. Odds are nothing good is going to come from that.
  21. Wish Heyward had leaned into a pitch like Freese just did in the Wild Card game.
  22. Rodriguez should have been able to go 75% and gotten to second safely. Could have killed a potential big inning.
  23. Longest World Series game by 4 innings. Longest World Series game by time by an hour and 39 minutes. Tied for the longest playoff game ever at 18 innings with 2014 NLDS Game 2 and 2005 NLDS Game 4. Longest playoff game by time by 57 minutes.
  24. Yeah, once you slip you either just eat it or take the extra second to set your feet. Definitely had more time to make the play. At the very least you have to keep the runner at third.
