Maybe he shouldn't have broken the CARDINAL RULE of sports being the POS human being he was.

When it comes to making the Baseball Hall of Fame, which numbers should mean the most?

Is Chris Sale making a case for himself for the HOF? He's making his 10th All-Star game.

I'm not sure he has much in the tank, but sure hope he can make the bigs and end up winning a ring.

I noticed late in Clark's final round, before he would putt, he would tamp down the grass in the line from his ball to the hole. Isn't that improving his putt line/i.e. cheating?

re: NHL expansion to Texas??

Posted by saturdaysarebetter on 6/25/26 at 8:20 am to RoyalAir

Houston's a no-brainer with their minor league hockey and WHA history and being the fifth-largest metro population in the country. Austin surprised me but then it has a larger metro population than Columbus and Pittsburgh which have NHL franchises.

re: Where do you rank Andy Reid all time?

Definitely top 10. He could end up the winningest coach all-time. 49 wins away from tying Shula.

Wins, winning percentage, SB rings top five in each right?

Win or lose, maybe the most memorable Iron Bowl ever. Maybe the most memorable Iron Bowl play ever.

What five regular season games (no conference championships, no bowl games, no playoffs) would you would have liked to have attended in person in college football history:

My five:
Nebraska - Oklahoma 1971
Catholics vs Convicts Miami at Notre Dame 1988
App St at Michigan 2007
BC at Miami 1984 Doug Flutie's Hail Mary
The Kick Six - Alabama-Auburn 2013

The five post-season cfb games you would have liked to have attended?

Was that the only time that occurred for Saban? I can't recall any other instances where he lost to a team then faced them again later and won.

But how would the one-loss 2009 Gators team do against 2005 USC or 2011 LSU? That team had that bad 19-point loss in the SECCG.

Shame it only goes back to 1996. Wish it went back into the '60s.

You are completely wrong and it's not meant as a troll tread whatsoever.

When I think of college coaches that were affected the most by missed field goals, two coaches come to mind: Bobby Bowden and Nick Saban.

They knew at Ohio State and it went on for DECADES!!! Same with Dr. Anderson at Michigan. Bo Schembechler kept him on staff enabling him. Even Bo's son was molested and Bo didn't do a thing about it.

re: Bengals are turning burrow into Dan Marino

Posted by saturdaysarebetter on 5/8/26 at 9:01 pm to Globetrotter747

OMG, THIS! THIS! THIS!

It's like Teflon Dan can get no blame. He choked in big games AT EVERY LEVEL, even in high school.

He had a great team around him at Pitt and he choked against Florida State throwing THREE interceptions and then in 1981, he threw FOUR interceptions against Penn State. Hard to win when your QB is a turnover machine.

Check out Marino's stats in his post-season losses. Stats don't lie:

'83 playoff team vs Seattle 2 Ints 77.6 QBR
'84 SB vs SF 2 ints 66.9 QBR
'85 vs NE at home 2 ints 54.9 QBR
'90 vs Buffalo 2 ints 72.1 QBR
'92 vs Buffalo at home 2 ints 56.5 QBR

The only playoff loss he played well
'94 vs SD 0 ints 109.8 QBR

1995 vs Buffalo 3 ints 63.4 QBR
1997 vs NE 2 ints 29.3 QBR!
1998 vs Denv 2 ints 65.5 QBR
1999 vs Jax 2 ints 34.6 QBR!

In the regular season, he was good enough to beat the '85 Bears. However, in the post-season, he couldn't beat the '85 Patriots - at home - in Miami - and was badly outplayed by the "great" Tony Eason. Zero rings at every level. Choking was in his DNA.

No defense?

Five times in his career Marino had a top 10 defense in points allowed. Three times he had a top five defense. Twice he had a defense that led the league in fewest points allowed. How'd that work out for two-turnover Danny?

No defense? He was drafted by a team that was just in the Super Bowl. Do you think David Woodley's passing got them there or was it the Killer B's defense?
