Lots of shitty people


If you think some one is a “shitty person” because you disagree with his politics maybe it’s you that’s the shitty person?
Did it hit the ground? It was definitely an illegal catch since it wasn’t touched by the Raiders
First year of the Wild Card games in 1978 were played on Christmas Eve, pretty fun

College Football is in their “Dark Ages” right now. It’ll take loss of interest then massive reform to potentially bring it back.


Interest and ratings are at all time highs.

Bowl games have been turned into nothing but tv content for some time. The blame goes to our sports culture that views anything short of the championship as failure.

Van Buren dosen't have the numbers and he played in the 40's nobodys alive to remember that shite.


The question was in NFL history not just what people under 30 know about.

You also can not compare just total numbers from guys that played 10-12 game seasons vs 14-16-17. Van Buren avg 70.6 ypg 41st all time, just behind Jerome Bettis, and ahead of Franco Harris and Marshwn Lynch. Larry Csonka avg 55.3 ypg 127 all time, behind Leonard Fournette :lol:

Jim Taylor avg 64.6 is 71 all time, Riggins 64.9 for 69th

Further proof the league is absolutely rigged


The best proof it’s “rigged” is the Chiefs and the Cowboys both missing the playoffs. In November they play the highest rated regular season game in league history so naturally they don’t want either of those teams in the playoffs :rotflmao:

Imagine the ratings if they played in the Super Bowl. But that would be to obvious so to throw us off the scent they have both missing, really genius if you think about it

re: Just re-watched Heat (1995)

I absolutely love Heat. But I will agree with OP that it is definitely too long. I mean, it's an almost 3 hour movie (2:50) that could have EASILY been just over 2+


I would guess you know, the origin of Heat was as a pilot that wasn’t picked up and turned into a TV movie LA Takedown. I think it’s obvious there are some storylines, (Hanna’s step daughter, Waingro the serial killer) that would have been explored in future episodes. Would definitely be a good candidate for a 10 episode streaming series.
ETA: looks like i mentioned this in the original thread :lol:

But the bank heist scene remains to this day the absolute best thing to watch in surround sound for me.


Stayed in downtown LA for the LSU-UCLA game in 2021, our hotel was right across the street from the bank and the shoot out was filmed in the streets near by.

If you could swap out 2019 Burrow or 2023 Daniels maybe :lol: Jarret Lee had 1 TD and 7 INTs vs Bama in his career he was not winning that game

You can tell the right wingers repeating the current thing and thinking they are clever :lol:

FTR DEI is awful, giving auto bids to conference winners long predates it labeling a one off (2 G5 teams being in the playoff) DEI because you don’t like the result is just dumb.

LSU was the fricking 1 seed


In the final rankings yes but we’re 2 before that. Also have you been around LSU fans before? You think there wouldn’t have been angst? ffs there was a guy at the tailgate I was at before the A&M game screaming about Joel Klatt pumping Chase Young for Heisman as if Burrow wasn’t going to win :lol:

and beat 7 top 10


That includes Oklahoma and Clemson

quote:

They weren’t getting left out.


I agree I’m just saying over the course of the season there would have been meltdowns from the fanbase worried we might get left out, “the media hates us” “they hate the SEC” “our defense sucks “ look what Ole Miss did” there were people worried our defense wasn’t good enough to win as it was. If you don’t think that angst would have happened among the LSU fanbase under a BCS 2 team format in 2019, bless your heart.

I’m pretty sure these would be no different than the actual playoff committee

No, it would have be a complete cluster frick in 2019. I’m glad LSUs greatest season wasn’t over shadowed with angst that we might be left out, media “outrage” for a month if the “most complete team” or worse the reigning champs Clemson were left out. I do miss the 4 team playoff that format was perfect imo. Indiana vs Texas Tech tOSU v UGA.

Just do a “black Monday” thing or whatever the NFL does so everyone knows when coaching changes will happen


“Black Monday” is a media created nick name for the first Monday after the season ends because so many coaches of teams not in the playoffs get fired that day. College coaches used to typically be fired that weekend after the season ended. However since the primary NSD was moved to Dec from early February firings have been moved up. Simply going back to that would end the situations like Lane Kiffin leaving before the playoff.

“Just let them get paid bro, really bro it won’t change anything bro, it’s just fair bro, don’t be so uncool about this bro!”


Who are you, Jeff Spicoli?

Yes I believe in a so called free, capitalist society players should be allowed to get paid their worth as long as others are willing to pay them. Yes it’s fair to pay the players 100,000+ pay $100+ for tickets to see play and TV networks pay billions to broadcast the games. if coaches get $50M to not coach there’s enough to pay players. No one ever said it wouldn’t change anything that’s not my concern,
quote:

The NFL cannot tell any player that they can’t make money with side businesses outside of their NFL contract.


They actually can, they have contracts, they have collective bargaining so certain things like that can be agreed to by both sides before contracts and the CBA are signed.

Contracts are also why head coaches can’t just leave whenever they want for another job without compensation. Thats why Denver had to give the Saints draft picks to hire Sean Payton, he retired with time left on his contract. Assistants are allowed to leave for promotions of course but after their season ends. You could have language like that in college contracts theoretically but since there are 100s of jobs vs 32 it’s a lot harder to do. Just takes 1 school desperate enough to throw it off.
