  1. Where was the cheating, I genuinely must have missed that? Were the Celtics thugs too because the Pistons learned "how to win" through the battles with them, Pistons took it one step farther. The 80's basketball was totally different from today and there were "thugs" on pretty much every team.
  2. Dallas final score looks good but I'm still not happy. Been saying it all off season that Pollard is not a lead back. He isn't doing very well and is getting out played by Dowdle and an Oompa Loompa. I hope I'm wrong and he figures it out. Of course I have to keep telling myself they were playing the Jets and they have a legit top 5 defense. The def, looks good but I am not sold on Gilmore. He seems to be playing off too far and has been beaten more often than I expected given his reputation. The pass rush, IMO, is making the secondary look better than they are.
  3. Arizona just realized they are supposed to be tanking
  4. Those scumbags are heroes here and always will be.
  5. Michigan got the win Saturday night but looked horrible doing it. McCarthy looked lost and that's against a MAC team. Not good.
  6. Considering his race, our countries history, and that he feels he is being rail roaded, this is probably not the best comment to type.
  7. Probably for the same reason they allowed the KC RG to do the same thing every snap against Detroit. After media/social media "outrage" from that game you'd think it would have been addressed.
  8. The main thing I have an issue with in this situation is that sexual harassment has victims. By the process MSU has in place it allows a potential harasser to stay in a position of power and potentially harass more victims and / or continue harassing victims that may not have come forward yet. There needs to be an investigation of course but the nature of the complaint should supersede policy. The President of MSU should be told what the accusation is and can then decide how to proceed, to blindly wait for a 10 month investigation seems ridiculous from the outside.
  9. And the 9/11 stuff (alluding to it being an inside job and we are all too dumb to know it), which was ironic since he was in NY on 9/11 and he went down. If I am Dallas there is no way I'm trading Rush with Daks' recent injury history. Will Grier is gone to Cinnci so all we would have is Trey Lance who just got here, no thanks. They would have to offer 1st rounder to get me to even think about it, not because Rush is worth it but because Dallas is a legit contender in NFC and we have no depth past Rush.
  10. I remember seeing trailers for this and the first time I saw it I was like hell yeah, Inglorious Basterds meets John Wick. Then I saw another preview and it seemed worse. Thankfully I never paid to watch it and haven't come across it streaming yet. I am a glutton for punishment so I am sure I'll watch it some day.
  11. But... they knew about this in Dec and only acted now because the story came out. They already knew the details in the story including him lying about some of it. They only acted now because the public found out.
  12. Could you imagine a miracle happened and Ton and the Jets faced LV Raiders in the AFC championship game, talk about conflict of interest! Immediate gratification for another ring w another team vs raising the value of his, still to be voted on, share in the Raiders if they won!!
  13. I really feel bad for Jets fans. They finally got what they thought was the missing piece to a SB run and he never even gets to complete a pass. I've never liked the guy but you gotta feel for him. This could be Wilson' big break. Got some tutelage under Rodgers and maybe he can be the one to carry them forward.
  14. You know you're a battered fan when your team goes on the road, beats a team that won a playoff game last year, a division rival, wins 40-0 and you still aren't happy. I thought Dak looked horrible, still over throwing passes. I thought our corners were giving way too much of a cushion, Waller was having his way with them (including Gillmore) until the genius Giants stopped going to him. Even Barkley was doing really well the first drive or two. Tonight I get to get anxious watching the Jets game knowing we have to play that defense next week.
  15. Define swiftly. The investigation started in December and he wasn't suspended/fired until after it leaked that he was under investigation nine months later. Report from findings wasn't even due until October and he was still coaching. They use the excuse of following the investigative process but when it leaks and people find out suddenly they are able to act swiftly.
  16. So Cinnci has the ball on the 38, 4th and 3 and instead of going for it or a long field goal, they punt?? Of course it goes into the end zone for a net of 18 yards. WTF man, go for it. The knee cap biter to the North would have gone for that shit!
  17. Lol... poor guy I work with had his FF draft last week and loved his team. Mahommes, Kelce and Kupp were his top three picks. Still should be a good trio but week 1 is a bust and Kupp on IR now.
  18. Sucks when your draft picks actually work out and you have to pay them! Dallas is in the middle of a bunch of them and have Parsons and Lamb due next plus Dak looming again, running out of cheap players.
  19. I was planning to do it but kept forgetting to send email, fitting end to this
  20. This is an idea that has floated around for a while, the power 5 football teams just break away from the NCAA entirely. Get divisions set up similar to the NFL and have cross over games every year. This allows for local rivals to stay relevant and forces teams to play actual competition and not a team that they are favored to beat by 40+ points. Also reduces the travel issues. Dumping the NCAA and starting with fresh set of rules that make sense for current times makes the most sense. One idea even had relegation built in. The next level of football teams, top 2-4 move up each year and lowest 2-4 from the new entity drop out. This way if a school legitimately builds a program they can get to the big boys league by earning it. Schools that have dumpster fire teams drop down and have to earn their way back.
  21. Went to see The Equalizer 3, expected to shut my brain off eat some popcorn and relax while Denzel entertains. This movie sucked, maybe because it didn't feel right to the character? I know going into it that it's supposed to be a certain type of movie having watched the original Equalizer tv show and the two other movies, but the lead doesn't feel like himself in this one. Feels like this was a cash grab and even Denzel seemed like he was just going through the paces. The villains sucked, there was no real build up, they poorly tied in the CIA, terrorists, drug dealing, cyber hacking and the mafia. The best thing about the movie was the location, beautiful place. Watched Hypnotic on Peacock. Ben Affleck movie about the power of hypnosis and projecting it. This sucked ass way more than The Equalizer 3. It felt like someone binged Momento and Inception and thought hmm.. what if I blended these two together. Maybe if there was a different lead and a few changes to the way they "project" the hypnosis and it could have been an ok movie. Another negative was Eternals. I didn't make it through 15 min of this and I was bored silly and turned it off. Which led me to Hypnotic so thanks a lot.
  22. You referenced a rock band being in the Rock HOF, I said, that same HOF has a country singer, not to mention the Rap, R&B, pop artists, so using it's standards of entry as a comparison makes no sense. As to your 2nd question Miguel Cabrera, Albert Pulhols, Mike Trout, Clayton Kershaw to name a few. Maybe Verlander, Scherzer.
  23. The ROCK hall of fame also had Dolly Parton so I give zero fucking weight to the comparison.
  24. So the hall of a couple great years? I do agree that the RB's are getting screwed right now. They are used, abused and tossed aside. I have no idea how to fix it from the RB prospective either. Not sure where this comes from? What I looked up shows Bijan is 16th at 5.48mill. McCaffery at 16mill is number one.
