[quote]of all people a relief pitcher is the first player they vote in with 100%[/quote] I bet there’s a contingent of sportswriters that are happy it was a relief pitcher as a pushback against advanced analytics. Analytics nerds don’t value relief pitchers much. Old school baseball sportswri...

I thought those type of companies were primarily for Olympic-type sports? They can be a useful tool for both prospects and coaches in sports with lesser budgets and visibility. I don’t see the need for such a service for D1 football recruits. They might be a good resource for an opportunity at ...

[quote]He's a republican.[/quote] Party affiliation doesn’t matter as as much on a local level, especially when the issue seems to be back door deals and entrenched bureaucracy. ...

[quote]Were they trying to run an offense better suited for Foles while Wentz was on the field?[/quote] That’s what the article insinuates. That should invalidate the entire article. ...

Lombardi’s name was mentioned as an OC candidate for the Cowboys. I don’t see him moving to college unless he’s given play calling duties. It would be a great opportunity for him to build his resume and repair any damage his OC stint in Detroit caused to his reputation. ...

Ice storm to cause havoc. ...

Romo is only 38. He would probably be playing the best football of his career right now if his body/back would have held up. A lot of people didn’t like him, but he was a damn good QB. He sees the field like a current QB with tons of experience, but he’s in the booth and capable of communicating...

I want him on golf coverage. CBS misses Feherty, and could use a little personality. ...

I think a lot of people have similar feelings, but sports are cyclical, and most of these dynasties are winding down. NBA: The Warriors core players are starting to hit 30. The future GOAT is only 19. NFL: Patriots run has been amazing, but this is probably their last SB. The rest of the lea...

Really good movie. My expectations were raised since this thread appeared immediately before I watched it, but it didn’t disappoint. ...

My ancestors are Indigenous peoples! I am mostly British, Scottish, and Germanic. At one time we were uncivilized Celtic tribes of the British Isles and Germanic tribes of Northern Europe. Thank God for the Roman Empire and their advanced civilization for conquering and civilizing my people. ...

This morning I stumbled across several Blu-ray movies I bought years ago from a discount rack. The Proposition was one. I don’t know why I bought the movie because I swear I’ve never heard of it. I did a quick search of the movie, saw it had good reviews, and planned to watch it later tonight. ...

Another problem with the “civilized tribes”, especially Cherokee, is that there was widespread assimilation, intermarriage, and offspring produced between Natives and Europeans almost as soon as Europeans set foot on this continent and encountered these tribes. John Ross is probably the most not...

Bump. I don’t see any correct predictions. Several coaches mentioned did get HC jobs, but not with the predicted team. ...

Hue Jackson is available and would be a perfect interim HC when Garrett gets fired. Lane Kiffin ...

My favorite part of S2 was the Steve/Dustin partnership. ...

Amazon renewed Bosch for season 6 a few months ago while season 5 was still filming. Amazon also announced that the upcoming Season 5 will drop in the first half of 2019. ...

Damn. Bama fans now are riding LSU’s coattails. ...

[quote]if your alma mater removes and/or attacks the things that you valued from your college experience, why would you continue to donate[/quote] LSU has done a great job of diminishing the gameday atmosphere and tailgating the last few years. Now DKE National has killed the DKE gameday sign tra...

I’m not even a Saints fan, but I appreciate the hell out of Drew Brees for not only what he has done for the city and state, but I enjoy seeing one of the the greatest ever apply his craft at such a high level for over a decade in this state. ...
