  1. That play where Justin Fields was shaking the whole bed was pretty intense. Oh wait, I'm watching The Exorcist.
  2. Give the Bears time. They haven't figured out how to lose this one yet. Their coach is lucky he wasn't fired after the Denver game.
  3. It was lots of NFL Films productions for me...........I hear the song "Autumn Thunder" in my head right now.
  4. So his first name gets "starred" out, even though it's just a first name? End censorship now !
  5. **** Butkus has died.
  6. Here's a great breakthrough............Native Americans playing Native Americans. Nice touch.
  7. But there is the issue of how can you expand when you have 2 teams that aren't even interesting in their own market. One of them is in the playoff chase every single year, but in order to do that has to trade any star players before they start getting star money (making it harder for even the few fans who care to form connections with players). The other team did the big spending thing and won the world series twice only to very quickly sell the team off - another way to alienate a fan base. Nashville is practically begging for a team, and I have to be honest, though it's not the biggest market, I am guessing a playoff game gets more than 19K to show up. After Nashville..........then where? Vegas is taken. Montreal? Do they have the stadium? Can they even renovate Olympic? Kind of doubtful that taxpayers are goin to foot the bill for a new stadium and the infrastructure it takes. I sympathize with Expos fans. Closest they came to a World Series, a team full of stars and the strike ends the season and then Jeffrey Loria pulls his crap and does what Oakland's owner is doing to the A's now, you know, Rachel Phelpsing a team. Not sure Vegas is any better than Miami when it comes to baseball fans. Portland? Sorry, the city is a political nightmare. Charlotte? Maybe. The money is there, but is the interest? It fills a little void there. Gives the Braves a regional rival. I think there are two places that would be great, but owners of other teams nearby would block it - and that's Indianapolis and New Jersey. If you move Tampa to Nashville, I don't see any really good options for expansion and if you expand with Nashville and one other you're still going to have the Rays and Marlins failing. We're really into sports in this region, partly because in the cold months watching sports is something to do. Much of the U.S. doesn't have that problem and just doesn't get into sports (outside of football) like we do.
  8. I can't believe that they're going to build another stadium right next to the Trop. What a joke. They just don't care about baseball in that area (unless they're NE or MIdwest transplants). Shame that such a well-run organization has to play for such a lousy fanbase.
  9. Republicans are goin to eat themselves alive. Go ahead and put the extremists in charge. Good luck with that. By the way, how can you blame this on drag queens and Trans people? Think of an angle. I'm sure the cult will believe it.
  10. Bring back Rod & Mario. So they don't like each other. Big deal. They made it work before.
  11. Bring in Tito Francona to do color. He would be absolutely fantastic (I am guessing he'll have a national TV studio gig).
  12. Knew the knives would be out for McCarthy within a year. Surprised it took this long. They're gonna try to vote Trump in as Speaker.
  13. Don't need to wait. Retire #24 next year. Announce it on April 18th (his 41st birthday) Too bad they play Miami during the week, because that would be the team to do it against. Do it later in the season, Start designing the statue now. We need 3 more. Jack Morris. Miguel Cabrera and a statue of Lou & Alan together. Who cares if the Hall Of Fame doesn't get it on Lou (I don't understand). Some will complain "everyone gets a statue". This team is 123 years old now. Yeah, that means a lot of statues.
  14. If he had retired after 2018, he's probably #2 on that list.
  15. Seriously, Has anyone seen the Justin Herbert play? Sick fake.
  16. That was 45 minutes ago and I'm still emotional. Allergies are way better, though...........Must have been a wave of pollen blowing through the house there.
  17. Did anyone see the movie Justin Herbert made on Max Crosby? Absolutely sick I hate the Cowboys and I hate the Patriots but this was the one time I need the Patriots to win (you know, playoff seeding)...........Belichick hates me. 28-3 Dallas at half time
  18. I hope tomorrow's Imaculate Grid is all Miggy !
  19. Thanks to the NFL for not having the Lions game today.
  20. Welp, that's a wrap. Considering the 2-9 start and the 9-game losing streak, there was a lot to like about this season and the young guys developed better than we'd hoped. Hopefully they continue that next year and that next wave of guys do what they did. Gonna need to sign 2 starting pitchers.
  21. Wow.........I kind of want Nevin to make an out because we could have had one more AB from Miggy.
  22. Tork didn't make it to 100 RBI today. He sucks.
