  1. The way they've been spotting this game, I assumed anything within a yard of the sticks would be given as a first down.
  2. OK, I'm OK with not letting Mitch air it out anymore.
  3. If it's a catch, it's a fumble.
  4. That second and 3 was vintage Bad Mitch. He had receivers open all over the field and he was zeroed in on his first read.
  5. They can't slow down this pass rush enough to pull that off.
  6. Why am I scared of 3rd and 12?
  7. The harder they slurp Foles, the more picks he throws.
  8. It's not a miracle when their guys outplay our guys
  9. Well never mind then. See you next year.
  10. Alshon is the new Steve Smith
  11. Alshon vs. Fuller is not going well
  12. I didn’t sell out all my moral reservations about football just to watch a wild card round flameout. Win, jerks.
  13. He blew his nut last year with Yu, Chatwood and Morrow. PTR put him in the corner for this years FA class. He screwed himself into a corner with FA pitching in Boston a bunch of times too, and he would make some crazy trades
  14. I never thought there'd be a Theo offseason where just nothing happened. This is the worst.
  15. It's gonna be hilarious when it turns out Bryant does hold a grudge over the service time thing and refuses to re-sign.
  16. You’re right but I still don’t want them to
  17. It’s much more than not being guaranteed. It’s an incredibly small chance. That's crazy talk. It involves two football games, one of which is a little better than 50/50 and one of which is a little worse.
  18. The percentage of this fan base that wants to tank the bye just because they can't handle the idea of trying for something not guaranteed is infuriating.
  19. All teams nationalized and forcibly turned into worker collectives.
  20. ;) This is something I have found people with terrible, thoughtless, baseless, and immature opinions like to say. That last bit about spending being against the rules is not even an opinion and is factually incorrect. Same is true of the Harper/Yelich OBP takes Merry Christmas! No clue what you are talking about but that’s ok. If you feel the franchise that blows the most money wins, keep telling yourself that. You’d be wrong and miserable like the yankee fanbase that rarely wins anymore and is never happy although always blows the most money. Listening to wfan this morning and all their blowhards could talk about was adding harper or machado or both as a last piece of the puzzle. It never ends. It guarantees nothing and rarely results in anything but a bigger financial hole The Red Sox, who spent into the luxury tax, won the WS last year. The cubs also were in the luxury tax when they won.

  22. I think it’s simply part of thinking like you are supposed to when you reach adulthood (maturity). Losing draft position and throwing money out the window somehow doesn’t seem write or sit well with me. I guess it’s my opinion at least. Nearly all teams stay under the tax annually so it is a prevailing opinion. If my team can’t get it done within the rules, I guess I don’t feel they deserve to win Yeah, I don’t think you meant it this way, but that covers why people think this way. It’s about some sort of folk morality rather than what works.
