  1. One given in the NFL is that players get hurt, especially older, skilled players. So, unless it's a quarterback, investing draft capital AND a huge percentage of your payroll to one player, seems like a poor strategy.
  2. So state your case with other than vacuous ********, and then double down with more ********, that would be fine.
  3. You know, It's difficult to argue with a guy who's too stubborn to admit he's full of ****. Baez actually led the AL in range factor in '22, and led the NL in '21, and he was 5th in all of baseball last year.
  4. They are out of date and they are a poor measure of defensive ability. If you are going to state a case, at least use factors with some validity.
  5. Tater said, "they're always going to take the talent that grades out higher. " You said, nope, wrong, he was confused. He was exactly correct.
  6. It is exactly correct. You are confused. The Lions will take the highest graded player, their grades having factored in all values, including positional value (to them), character, work ethic, etc.
  7. Probably want a faster, more explosive, athletic bender, then.
  8. Sort of similar, in attributes and role, to Cominsky and Paschal
  9. I wouldn't want to give up the draft pick for a one year rental at this stage for the Tigers. Sure, draft picks are lottery tickets, but that makes more sense at this point.
  10. Reread that and underline the parts "Bauer said", as I stated previously, her basic problem was degree of consent and no corroborating witnesses. The basic facts of Bauer's behavior are beyond dispute, whether or not the woman was motivated by financial gain, or provided misleading testimony.
  11. You are falling for a very carefully biased and incomplete narrative promulgated by the Bauer camp.
  12. The fact of her injuries is not in dispute. Who caused the injuries is not in dispute. The fact that Bauer gets off on violent acts towards women is not in dispute. The fact that she had some degree of consent made it difficult for her to win in a situation where there were no other witnesses. She did win a fairly large settlement.
  13. To be fair, those were claims made by Bauer’s side. You don’t know the provenance, timing or context of the texts or video.
  14. Sort of a right handed Badoo, hits lefties, can handle center.
  15. He’s got a lot of swing and miss, probably too much.
  16. If they sign a group the caliber of last year, but with better health, I’d be happy; Montgomery, Glasgow, Duce, Sutton, Moseley.
  17. No one said Detroit had the better roster. Does the team with the better roster always win? What is said is it took a series of improbable events and uncharacteristic play by Detroit for San Fran to win and that is the essence of luck. If you replay the Aiyuk scenario 100 times, Vildor makes the interception about 50 times and it falls incomplete about 49. That, sir, is luck.
  18. Pure, unmitigated, flukey luck. 90% of the league's receivers could make that catch after it bounced right back to him. Vildor deflects it even slightly, or it misses or deflects obliquely off the helmet, and there's no chance.
  19. Sure you can, sports are a measure of skill, a measure of luck and a measure of randomness. Not everything that happens can be attributed to skill. If you call an errant pass that goes though a defenders hands, hits him in the helmet and ricochets perfectly into the receivers arms while in midair, skill, you're nuts. If you call being gifted a fumble in the red zone, Detroit receivers dropping passes they catch in their sleep, desperation scrambles on 3rd and long by Purdy, who's slower than Goff, if you call that skill, you're nuts. Are they a talented team? Sure, but they got lucky.
  20. NO, he was asked if he was going to need any surgery for any of his injuries, he said he was going to take some time and have them thoroughly evaluated. He said NOTHING about contemplating retirement.
  21. The second half, San Fran got lucky, very, very lucky.
  22. No, he said he had to take time to figure out how to deal with his various injuries, nothing about retirement.
  23. Jung's arm is average, at best. Keith had a plus arm, but has needed to wind up and has had trouble with different arm angles, however, a lot of these defensive reports on him are post injury and after bulking up. Some training, conditioning and healing may offset a lot of concerns.
