How shitty is Chicago?

They were never staying in Chicago, and it has nothing to do with the city.

Baseball in a few-game scenario is a fluky sport. A regional tournament is dumb. The MLB playoffs are dumb. A full-season is a much better way to determine a champion.

Downvote away…

I think Chizik was a worse coach overall in totality than Coker, but a toddler could’ve led that 01 Miami team (which Coker didn’t recruit or assemble as the HC, though he was on staff prior) to a championship.

Chizik (and Orgeron, for that matter) at least inherited not-amazing situations.

They already have that option, I thought. The Indiana General Assembly voted to observe DST state-wide in 2006.

The states can choose year-round standard time (what’s observed in winter) or switch between standard (winter) and daylight (summer), but they can’t choose year-round daylight.

Arizona is on year-round Mountain Standard Time, which aligns it with Pacific Daylight Time in summer but the rest of the Mountain Time Zone in winter.

Hey 1 Super Bowl win each. Wilson went to one more. There's an argument.....maybe.

---

There is no argument, stop. And I say that as someone who thinks Wilson’s prime is now pretty underrated due to how quickly he fell off a cliff (and has remained around a while as a starter/1b since that decline), plus his weird vibes. Rodgers is head-and-shoulders ahead.

I also don’t even really think of Rodgers/Wilson as the same generation. I consider Brady/Brees/the Mannings/Rivers/Ben/Rodgers one generation, then a bit of a gap to the current Mahomes/Lamar/Allan/Burrow/Herbert/Hurts/Lawrence generation (neither of those lists are all-encompassing).

There’s sorta this awkward in-between generation of Stafford/Luck/Newton/Wilson and not much else. And Newton was flash-in-the-pan, Stafford can almost be thought of more as the current generation because he wasted away in Detroit and then got his MVP / SB in LA, and Luck obviously retired extremely young.

I think the “normal” rotation (at least once a decade, and often twice) will be NOLA, Nashville, LA, Miami, Vegas.

The “secondary” rotation (1 every 10-15 years) will likely be something like Tampa, Arizona, SF, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta.

And then Chi, KC, Cleveland and DC will likely each get one after their new stadiums are built.

Dying? Ypu guys are funny. Having 24 fanbases buying tickets and filling up stadiums instead of 4 teams is not a dying sport.

How bout this - when your team is hosting a first round playoff game backup your words with an empty stadium. But, of course, your packed stadium will prove you guys are all wrong. Your fanbase will eat it up. I know if my team makes the playoffs I’ll be there.

Great point. And to make it even better, I think it should be a 130-team playoff, not just 24.

Two season-ending losses in TD Garden on back-to-back nights.

What a shame.

1) Even if true, a douchey thing to say, particularly in the heat of the moment (maybe it’s something you could bring up on a podcast 5 years down the line or something).

2) It’s not even true, which makes it even more douchey.

I wonder if Denver thought at all about which one of them they were gonna make Mr. Irrelevant. :lol:
