If you’re a late 30’s south LA sports fan it’s also by far the worst your sports teams have ever been.

If you were born in 1987 you turned 13 in 2000. Beginning of the Saban era and saints first ever playoff win. Saban leaves but Les generally keeps it going for the next 8 years. Payton and Brees join the saints and were incredibly relevant for the next 15 years. Pelicans/hornets get CP3 and have their best ever 5 year run. LSU basketball has peak John Brady years. Slight downturn in 2014-16 but then we get late era Brees, Burrow LSU, Will Wade, and the best teams of the AD era for Pelicans.

Since 2020 we’ve had the worst five year stretch of LSU football/basketball/saints/pelicans since the mid 90’s, which is before someone now 40 would’ve really been aware. Conversely LSU baseball and Astros are going through the best runs you would’ve been aware of.

Don’t disagree with your other reasons, but Occam’s razor says it’s just hard to be that into a sport when your favorite team is an abject disaster
Chambliss isn’t coming after ole Miss wins the title

The Lane Era will be over before it begins when Ole Miss wins the title

They aren’t coming if Ole Miss wins the title
Man city tied 0-0 at the half. Outplayed .5 to .2 in expected goals. Fully expect them to pull out a 2-0 win despite getting outplayed again in the second half.
It’s not the bye it’s the time off. The playoffs obsession with using the bowl games has made the schedule absurd.

The first round of playoff games should be the weekend after the conference championship games. Second round is the next weekend. Semifinals weekend after Christmas. Finals right after NY.

You can’t get a bye if you don’t play in a conference title game. Longest anyone will have off is two weeks, just like a normal bye during the season.

Boom problem solved

re: Olave is OUT vs Atlanta

Yeah this is not good. Hopefully they can diagnose the cause and whatever caused it was a fluke thing, but this sounds similar to Chris Bosh who had underlying conditions that just made him susceptible to blood clotting and he basically never came back.

Maybe it’s not as bad for Olave since NFL players don’t have to fly nearly as much as NBA players.
Jesus I didn’t realize how sad it was to be an Iowa fan. Living off of nothing but random second tier bowl victories for the past 25 years.

Congrats on getting to hang your Capital One/Reliaquest/Outback banners.
Imagine treating a bowl game like a real game in the year of our lord 2025.
Phenomenal movie. Extremely uncut gems. Chalamet was fantastic, the true successor to “a-hole Leo” from Wolf of Wall Street and Blood Diamond.
Glad Raya committed his once in every five games mega frickup while we were up 4-0 in stoppage time.
Feels like it really all comes down to having Gabi and Saliba fit. When they’re the two CBs we look like by far the best team in Europe. If we lose one we just look like one of the best teams.
Expected goals finally reverted to the norm for both teams.

Man City has been riding it too, albeit not as much as Villa. It’ll come for them too.
If the dolphins don’t run back the two point try we would be in contention.

Shades of 2016 when we had a go ahead PAT blocked and returned for two in the last minute (against either broncos or panthers I believe) that cost us the game and we ended the season one spot out of contention going into the final week.

Hopefully history repeats itself and 2026 is like 2017.
Solak is one of the Ringer NFL nerd alums obsessed with QBs “potential” and athleticism and arm strength over the ability to play the position. Same group of guys that have said Herbert and Lamar are way better than Burrow over the last 5 years.

If they were around in 2011 they would’ve said Cam Newton and Matt Stafford were better than Brees.


Going Cam Ward over Shough is an incredibly on brand take for that crew

It really goes to show how many “easy throws” are as much a result of good qb play/good play calling as they are bad defense. Shough’s arm talent, but more importantly his decision making and processing, is head and shoulders above Rattler and that’s leading to a lot of easy looking throws.

Then there’s the added component of Moore having more and more faith (no pun intended) in his QB which is allowing for more confident and consistent playcalling, especially in the red zone.
Baker kind of sucks. Every offensive coordinator with a pulse knows how to beat his defenses. Just spam TE and running QB
Ehh I think we have a real reason to be concerned about Baker
Every offense with a pulse has their way with us

re: Ramos ends his career on a dud

Ramos cost us like 6 games in his career. Bum never made a kick that mattered
We almost lost to LA Tech and western Kentucky
