As a student, night games were the best.

As an adult that needs to be able to function the following day, 2:30pm start times are the best.

Is it illegal? I thought 18 was the age of consent?


This is both an age of consent situation and a superior/subordinate situation. If one person has some sort of authority over the other (coach, boss, LEO, etc) then there is an expectation that they don’t coerce the other person to do something regardless of their age.

At this point it’s hard to argue this exact point.

This one was far crazier than the Raiders one its stupid but the argument in the Raiders game one could have been full body weight This one was just a regular sack


That’s my point. If the play yesterday is roughing then I don’t quite know how a DL can sack the QB w/o it being a penalty. Like I said above, the hit was NOT too high (head area) or too low (knee area) AND he didn’t fall on top of him. He literally just hit him hard but totally within the rules (well ar least what I thought the rules were). The announcer’s response was something that the ref has the ability to deem the hit “excessive” and then they just moved on.
For the Raider sack, the ref could at least use the totally unrealistic body weight excuse. The one yesterday by all metrics was a totally clean hit in that it wasn’t too high, not too low, and didn’t fall on top of him.
Saint DT had a sack yesterday where he beat the G, put his face mask in the QB’s chest, and fell along side of him when he took him down (non of the body weight bs) and still flag. I’m not sure what else he could’ve done.
I know this is beating a dead horse but the roughing the passer calls are just getting more and more outrageous. What the NFL expects the defender to do in many cases defies the laws of physics. Common sacks are now being called roughing with no real explanation as to the reason other than a vague “hard hit” bs. Obviously the commentators has been also given instructions by NFL to lay off.

The crazy thing is that it really isn’t preventing hits but simply giving yards bc the defense still has to rush heavy bc of the tight rules in pass coverage.

Public schools absolutely recruit and they have a huge advantage if their school is actually a quality school (like Karr) bc they can offer free tuition.

Besides, who would expect a fake on a 4th and 20 punt...


Well after watching teams struggle punting in a strong wind last week and watching Karr punt the ball like 10yds earlier that quarter, I think Rummel should have at least have thought about them doing it.

Credit where credit is due to the Karr coaching staff with that fake punt call on 4th and 20 and converting to not give the ball back to Rummel with a chance to tie


Exactly. They realized with the wind being strong in their face, a punt wasn’t going far any way. They obviously watched the BM/Rummel game the week before and saw they what a strong headwind would do to punting game.

Every private school recruits. I mean they literally have to in order to have a school bc it costs $ to attend. Also there aren’t the free rides like people think. The school that can probably give away the most scholarship $ is a school like Jesuit who has a huge endowment.

Homer PBP is the best PBP. The Graff calling Tulane football PBP was the unbelievable! Not to mention the GOAT over at UGA!




Big news in fantasy football world. Time served on Commissioner Exempt list counts toward any suspension.

It’s just seems weird not to use Liam Neeson. He seemed like the perfect fit and theoretically available unless he turned it down for some reason.

All true Bonds was not likeable, but he had more talent in his little toe than those two combined Think about being the MVP of your league and those two come along with obvious drug aided production, and the league not only ignores it, but glamorizes it I didn’t care for him, but impossible to ignore his God given abilities, and I don’t fault him for taking advantage of what was being done against him by MANY others


100% Bonds was well on his way to being an all time great. He clearly didn’t want those guys to be his “equal”!

Pre-roids Barry would still have been a HOF. PEDs simply turned him into the best hitter that ever lived by quite a bit. Personally I think part of why Bonds did it was to prove a point. Guys like Palmeiro or Bagwell turned themselves from good players to superstars by using PEDs. Bonds showed what would happen if an all time great decided to level up.

Nuss had a really good game imo. His arm strength definitely helped with the wind and he really made some nice throws today. He had some nice runs and finished every run by lowering his shoulder which was nice to see. Also impressed when they pulled him in the 4th, he stayed by the OC calling the plays and went right over to the backup after a tough first series and looked to give him some encouragement. He seems like a good teammate.

Wind definitely was a factor. Rummel weathered that (pun intended) much better than BM.

BM went right down the field on their 1st drive after a very short (wind induced) Raider punt but got bogged down inside the 10. They actually missed a 20FG caused by a poor snap but Rummel got a 5yd running into kicker penalty.

After that it was several self inflicted wounds by BM when they had the wind at their back. 2 really costly TOs by the running QB (1 bad option pitch after getting like 8yds and then a fumble on the 1st play on next drive). Rummel scored on both with a TD and FG.

When Rummel got the wind at their back in the 2nd, they made the most of it and just imposed their will on a clearly gassed BM defense. BM punter then struggled big time with the wind in his face fumbling 2 snaps with 1 resulting in a safety.

BM hit Royal on a cross in the 2nd quarter but Rummel DB made an outstanding shoestring tackle to save at a min long gain but very possibly a score with Royal breaking free in secondary.

Rummel 33
BM 3

Nuss just ran for a 30yd TD on 4th and 1.
