  1. when miggy clinched the triple crown the royals fans gave him a standing o. i thought that was pretty cool and gave me some respect for them. so if he's gonna get to 3k on the road, it'll be ok if its in kc.
  2. lange has pitched in 4 games and been pretty good in 3 of them.
  3. whenever i hear them go on about retiring jackie's number 42 i think about poor larry doby. nobody remembers who comes in second.
  4. please stop.
  5. robo umps please. the sooner the better.
  6. there were few outcomes less plausible coming into tonight than wings 3 canes 0.
  7. manning is a better prospect than mize...
  8. dont feed the trolls.
  9. oh god...buccigross. where's the mute button?
  10. well, if that guy had any family they are about to be very very rich. after ben crump takes his 50% cut, of course.
  11. hey ben crump is involved in that claim? lol. a total snake. like feiger.
  12. an officer can be completely disabled by a taser. if you get tased you can easily fall and strike your head. the standard is the reasonable threat of death or serious bodily harm, not just death. you can suffer serious bodily harm from a taser.
  13. i think you have to go edge (or qb) at 2. the edge players at 32 are all flawed projects. im sure one of them will work out, but id rather take the top guys at that position of need. in fact, i'd rather take a qb at 32 than an edge... i'd have lb, safety, or wr at 32 and 34. unless someone wants to give me a #1 next year for 32...
  14. 1) hutchinson 2) thibs 3) willis (wtf not?)
  15. i'm not worried about it. ive been around a lot of people who have had it and ive either gotten it or been exposed to it. ive been boosted once. if they say i should get boosted again i suppose i will get boosted again.
  16. you may have had it already and not even known it.
  17. it really goes to show how random those comparisons are.

  19. nobody gives a shit about san antonio. they didnt care when they won championships and were boring as hell and they sure as heck dont care now.
  20. cade is luka doncic. grant hill was a much better athlete than cade. which doesnt mean cade will be worse than grant hill, but hill is a much different player than cade.
  21. football outsiders has hock ranked 11th at tight end last year. in 2020 he was ranked 30th in 2019 he was ranked 43rd so he's improving at least....but top 5? not quite.
  22. they just traded for davante adams. giving up and tanking was not an option.
  23. pro football reference tried to come up with a stat for football players that approximated bill james' win shares for baseball. obviously much harder to do for football. anyway, they call it approximate value. hockenson's approximate value (AV) for his career is 13. that's not very high. part of that is he plays for a bad team that doesnt win much, part of it is that he's been injured a lot. part of it is he's an average tight end. the player from his draft class with the most AV is kyler murray (unsurprisingly). second is devin white. the lions didnt have a chance to draft either of them. next on the list: aj brown (51st pick) dk metcalf (64th pick) deebo samuel (36th pick) maxx crosby (106th pick) if the argument is that no one would have taken them at 8, that's understandable. looking at the guys taken around hock or in the first round: ed oliver: 23 marquis brown: 24 josh jacobs: 22 chrstian wilkins: 21 kaleb mcgary: 21 brian burns: 19 dexter lawrence: 19 devin bush: 17 tytus howard: 17 noah fant: 14 jerey tillery: 14 and those are just the first round picks taken after hock. he ranks 51 out of all the picks in that draft so far. an imperfect way to judge a player and not entirely fair to hock because he's stuck on the lions. but it gives you an idea of how valuable he's been and how much more valuable so many others taken in the draft have been than him.
  24. i guess that was the only option.
