Brown has made some great plays in the secondary to be sure.

But he's also whiffed on a shite load of run tackles too.
I don't get all the hate either.

The guy is literally living the American dream and lifting up everyone he can along the way. He made himself into a household name and is a self made multimillionaire.

There isn't a bigger boxing fan on this site than me and I don't even hate on the guy. He's doing what none of the supposed top boxers in the sport can (or won't) do. Even walking around casuals knows who he is. The US hasn't had that since Oscar was in his prime. None of the current fighters on the scene has an ounce of charisma. Maybe Ryan Garcia and he certainly has his baggage.

He's worked his arse off to get better and has gotten better. Was he ever going to beat Anthony Joshua? Hell no but neither was 99.99% of the other humans on the planet.

Listen to to what the other fighters that are signed to his promotional company say about him and how he treats them. They love the guy. Especially ones that were once signed to Top Rank, Matchroom, or one of the other promoters.

Everyone wanted the young man to step up his competition. He did just that.
Keely and Carter played out of their minds last night. Especially Keely.

Not sure how I feel about this. Our QBs under Sheridan have not been coached out of their tendancies.
Simply put, Cuevas makes our offense click. He ALWAYS seems to be open. IDGAF is they need to mold him an iron foot protector we are a better offense when he's on the field.

If Jam can't play then they need to play Dear more because Jam is a liability at this point. Just like RW.

What this team needed more than anything else was confidence and they hopefully got that back last night.

RB play has been frustratingly abysmal. All of the RBs have their issues.

Jam won't hit the hole but is our best blocker and has good hands.

Hill struggles with blocks and goes down too easy for a 240# RB. But, he hits the hole hard and will bounce when needed.

For the life of me I don't know why they don't try Dear more. He's got good vision and elite speed. Yes, he struggles with picking up the blitz but has getting to the 2nd level ability.

Riley stays hurt but checks most of the boxes.

ALL of the RBs would benefit from an OL that could consistently run block.

WTF is a "lap?"

Ryan needs a coach that can break him out of his tendancies. Shep obviously wasn't it and Nix may not be. We don't know that yet.

He needs to spend hours and hours working to catch the ball with his hands and stop letting it hit his body. Very few receivers have the natural ability to trap the ball against thier body with their hands. Cole Adams has it which is why he's returning punts.

Great receivers catch the ball with their hands.

And, the OP is right. Despite a hard fought win it's still OK to want season long issues to be addressed. RW can't block and struggles with drops yet is one of (if not the) highest paid players on team. In the world where big boys live you do the job you're getting paid to do or they find someone that will. No one gets a hall pass.

re: Athletic: MJ Reforms NASCAR

"reforms" is a bit bold at this point but MJ, Denny, Polk, and Jenkins certainly have to be given major props to put it all on the line to at least try.

Hendrick and Penske are both billionaires and neither of them had enough nuts to stand up to NASCAR.
This outcome is hopefully going to be transformative. I think the turning point in the trial was the testimony of France himself. How the frick does a man of his stature get on the stand and tell a judge and jury he doesn' t know how much money he makes? NASCAR was going to lose and lose big and they saw the writing on the wall.

NASCAR was double dipping on the tracks they own and having to sell those would have been unrecoverable for the France family.

From the testimony during the trial, NASCAR's answer to the teams profitability concerns was always to cut cost and not exploring ways to increase revenue. This will change that formula.

Major kudos to MJ and Polk for having the nuts to challenge the status quo. Hendrick and Penske are both billionaires but didn't have the nads to tell NASCAR to FO.

Another thing is although certainly not Denny's biggest fan I hope you guys will give him the respect his role in all this. Major props to all the plantiffs for taking a stand.

Maybe this will turn the tables on putting a better product on the track.
Trial started today with Jury selection beginning this morning. Will be interesting to see if NASCAR actually lets this go to witness testimony part.

Im hunting a WMA that has about 8000 acres of planted hardwoods.

Every 5th tree is dropping acorns the size of quarters. It's impossible to patter them. You're strictly getting lucky at this point.
Well guess what?

It ain't working. Spread the damn field and give your receivers with speed room to use it.
Why in the chinese hell are we always lining up ALL of our receivers together and more than not within 5 yds of the box?

It seems to take away the short routes because the receivers are all bunched together, along with the defenders covering them.

It also seems to allow defenses to crowd the box.
That's a damn good hire.

If he keeps Durkin they're going to be a solid program.

He showed out for sure.
Offensively, we N E V E R spread the field anymore. Every damn offensive possession all of the receivers are tucked tight to the tackle box. SPREAD THE DAMN FIELD FFS.

Spreading the defense would:

Loosen up the tackle box for the RBs to have room to work and less potential tacklers

Give the receivers MUCH more room and green field to work

Make the defense defend the ENTIRE width of the field instead of just between the hashes


It blows my fricking mind why a supposed passing team doesn't spread the defense out
How can ANYONE, and I mean ANYONE dislike Denny Hamlin after reading that email? He saying to the leader of NASCAR what all of us bitch about every week. Not only is he saying it to France's face, he's putting up his OWN money to try to make the product better.

And, he's right. Hendrick, Childress, and Penske are all late in the 4th quarter of their careers. Now, they are all very good businessmen but more importantly they are racers at heart. Dale Jr, Denny, and Kez are owners now but also racers at heart. How good a businessman are they is yet to be seen with the exception of Kez. He's a better businessman than he is a racer at this point in his career. I had no idea about the shite he does for the space program and Navy.

It's a pivotal time for that sport and the next 30 days and that trial will define it's future our outline it's continued demise.

Bamarep has been studying on one of these for the 3 or 4 times a year I get invited to shoot clays for work.

My local WM has them for about $450
