Depends on what your goal is. Is it to have an elite RB and running game, win a game against a rival on MNF or is it to win championships?

It could also have dropped and been a hit,
quote:

The Astros cheated EVERYONE. It's like the entire season was for absolute nothing. They turned that year into a complete waste of everyone's fricking time.


:lol:

The won game 7 in LA, 2019 lost all 4 home games in the WS, the idea that they were a 70 win team incapable of winning but for “cheating” is just cope by other fans.

quote:

Orta never scored.


He was thrown out at 3rd on a bunt, do they bunt there if he was called out as they should have?

quote:

The Royals did not cheat.


Never said they did, they benefited from one of the worst calls ever however.

quote:

There is no asterisk.


There’s no asterisk by 2017 either, that’s just something butt hurt crybabies say.
quote:

Eli the worst 2 time winner?


Nope

quote:

Hurts is widely seen as a bad QB


Where on this board :lol: he’s not great or elite but he’s not “bad”

quote:

while we have superstars like Allen and Lamar, freak talents like Hebert and Gayleb, great operational QBs like Stafford and Burrow. All high draft picks, paid a ton, mostly have what’s considered to be upper lever rosters and they don’t win more than Hurts


Only 1 team can win, and we are leaving out K.C. who won 3 and I would argue had a better roster than Buffalo and Baltimore those years. KC also supports your method since they had a good team and added an elite talent at QB rather than build around the QB first. But there’s also other factors, luck, a bad play maybe a bad coaching decision than affect a game like the Buffalo-KC game when Buffalo took the lead with 13 seconds left
quote:

Correct. It’s like denigrating the Patriots success bc they were caught with an underinflated ball even though they won super bowls after the scandal


I have a friend that HATES the Patriots he still calls them “cheaters” during last years run even though Belichick and Brady are long gone :lol:

He also defends the Astros to the hilt
quote:

Neither of our rings have an asterisk next to it.


Just 1 compliments of one the most egregious blown calls in history :lol:

quote:

If you don't give a frick, why so defensive?


I’m not defensive, I just made an observation. Fans rally around their team almost no matter what. If you think any other team had won a WS and it was later revealed they had “cheated” they would renounce it you are naive and lying to yourself. By the same token if any other team had beaten the Astros and was later revealed to have stolen signs, most Astro fans would be outraged and call them cheaters, it’s human nature.

quote:

Definitely wouldn't trade my braves for the asterisks


The Braves at least won one, but your kidding yourself if you think you wouldn’t defend them in the same situation.
quote:

If the Astros lose tomorrow


The traffic and parking for Rush at the Toyota Center will not be as bad
quote:

I think most baseball fans would not prefer the biggest story of their team's most successful run being a cheating scandal


Actually they would not give a frick about a “scandal” just like Astro fans don’t. But there was no cheating in 2022 or 21 for that matter when they made but lost the WS.
quote:

Of course they are but the investment in the position and all these great QBs who have good rosters don’t win more than the so called “bad QB”. Can’t escape that.


Not exactly sure who you mean, but I would argue Philadelphia had the best roster in football (or at least top 2-3) 2022-2024 when they went to 2 SB and won 1 of them. I also don’t think is “bad” or wasn’t bad those years, he was avg to slightly above avg. Only 1 team can win an and there’s lots of factors that go into who wins the SB in a given year. The teams at the end are generally pretty even
quote:

More of a statement on how bad the rest of the league is at the position that he can go to multiple Super Bowls.


It’s a team game, it’s a testament to the Eagles organization and GM that built an elite roster especially defense and OLine. Hurts is a coaches kid, he’s smart, knows football and works hard that can overcome many physical shortcomings
quote:

Because there are 16 games per day, so 4 games per window. Baseball has 4 games today total. Not exactly an apples/apples comparison...


So both have 4 windows? College Basketball games tend to be shorter would be the better argument
Hurts isn’t even the worst Eagles QB to win the SB :lol:
quote:

Join the SEC and see of they would be 11-1.


Who’s schedule would they play? They could have gone 11-1 play A&M’s schedule last year
quote:

They were gifted two NCs in '66 and '77 at the expense of Alabama.


In 1977 they boat raced the #1 team in the Cotton Bowl they deserved it.

Don’t forget 1973 when they split the title with Bama despite beating Bama in the Sugar Bowl
It’s an all time great movie, but the kid is guilty as frick :lol:

And yet I enjoyed so many others on that list.


When someone on a message board says The Wire is boring, I assume they are either trying to be the cool message board contrarian or they have the attention span of a gnat
quote:

tried twice. Unbelievably boring.


Man tik tok and social media just destroyed attention spans, sad :casty:
