  1. I don't know about this. It may not be shocking, but if we beat the Chiefs down the road it would be an upset.
  2. "Well. we are under the mistletoe"
  3. I could tell he was a "me first" type of guy just by his actions of baseball vs football. When he was drafted by the A's in the first round (7th I believe, maybe?) he guaranteed them that he wasn't going to be playing football professionally. The A's then let him play for a season after they had already signed him after the baseball draft and he does fantastic and then changes his tune. Went from I guarantee I'm playing baseball to, oh, now I'm having a good football season I will completely shift gears and screw over the A's (who just lost that pick with no compensation since he actually signed a contract) because he saw greener pastures in the NFL. B.S. move in my opinion (yes, I am an A's fan, full disclosure). Show's me that he is 100% for himself and not a "team" mentality. Plus, he just comes off as awkward to me in general. Not sure what it is. In all the interviews I see of him I just get a bad vibe from him every time.
  4. The phrase originally was "The customer is always right in matters of taste." Meaning if they want a neon pink toyota camry, well, that's their taste so sure. Somewhere down the line the last part got dropped and some people felt they had the right to now act like complete a** holes to businesses.
  5. Advice - Be prepared to lose a lot of money. If you go in planning to make money you are going to be disappointed. So, buy things you think are cool and are going to want to keep, not things you think are going to be worth whatever down the line so you can sell them for a profit. That is a game for distributors and folks that have been doing this far longer than you!
  6. It is when you consider the team last year was so talent deprived that many thought they would go 0-16. And this years team is surprising most as well. I'm sure not many would have put them over 5 wins for the entire season. This guy is going to be a problem for us for a long time to come I'm afraid. 'Bout to be like the late 80s/early 90s rivalry again.
  7. Mine says Tenn v Baltimore. Sucks for you I guess.
  8. Duane Allman - not mentioned yet? Really? Eric Clapton Jimmy Page BB King Extra Credit - Mick Taylor
  9. Can you just download your xbox one digital games to the Series X and play them with all your saved files?
  10. Very few places have bars open this late.
  11. Or, perhaps it is just possible that the rest of us are seeing the big picture and how he has played at an MVP level for every game this season that he wasn't wearing a shoulder brace because he was playing through a dislocated shoulder for us (and we still went 2-2 in those games).
  12. Yeah, I figured that contractual obligations limit the amount of highlight time they can show and your thought is right along that line of though as well and probably more accurate. There has to be a way to lower the cost per minute when you buy more minutes and when you buy less popular sports.
  13. I would go back to a similar style of programming they did when they were at their peak. 1. Less Talk Shows - there used to be basically only one talk show, Up Close. That was it. The weekends also had the Sports Reporters. Now, they are running talk shows all day on multiple networks. They all need their own sets, own on air and off air staff, and all the other expenses that come from doing a show....and they are mostly terrible. Just put the 2am SportsCenter on Repeat on the morning. Save a ton and be better programming. 2. On the note of SportsCenter - More freakin highlights. They used to play highlights of basically every game in every major sport. At a minimum they would show the score. Now, they talk about the same 1 or 2 teams per sport every f'n day all f'n year long. I want to see action, not the same crap day after day after day. Highlights, Stats, next game, highlights stats, next game, etc. Maybe a few player / coach interviews thrown in there. Get rid of the freaking pundits talking for 75% of the show. 3. More weird sports - Why cant they show some of the more obscure sports in the mid-afternoon? How much would it really cost to show it? Strongman, lumberjack games, scotland games, ping pong, badmitton, so much out there and there are amazing athletes doing stuff we never see. 4. Get out of politics. Enough already. I am there for sports and sports alone. 5. Stop force feeding me the WNBA and NCAAW. They are terrible, no one cares, it is so freaking boring. You give me these highlights but I can't get an NHL game, or F1 coverage, or decent soccer coverage???
  14. He would be interesting...but I think they go much more conservative route than Austin.
  15. I don't know about that. I don't think Jeopardy James would do well as a host. He's kind of weird and annoying. I believe they have been grooming Jennings as well. His personality is a much better fit and he has been showcased on the show over the years the most (including this seasons GOAT themed stuff). RIP Alex, you will be dearly missed by millions.
  16. 1. Sun Chips Original 2. Ruffles (I waiver between Sour Cream and Chedder, and All Dressed as my favorite) 3. Fritos Honey BBQ Flavor Twists
  17. The courts are going to be looking at the constitutionality of adjusting voting rules for the pandemic. That's the issue. It has nothing to do with fraud (which has NEVER proven to be a significant issue. EVER. And is not now either). Love clueless posters who just spew miss-information so convincingly. Oh...but there is a video of it on twitter....Yeah, seems like a legit source of truth. And even if, it would take 10s of thousands of fraudulent votes to swing anything. A grand scheme of it, that is. Not a few twitter videos that may or may not be real.
  18. Now at -400 for Biden. They won't miss that big, this late.
  19. Wait, wait, wait. We paid WHAT for this guy??? That money could have went towards Shaq or Phillips. Definitely missed the mark on this one for sure.
  20. I don't see any DQs or failed drug tests on Khabibs resume. He may not be as flashy, but he took on everyone they had including McGregor in his prime and won pretty easily most times. I'm taking Khabib.
  21. I mean, the guy did win Defensive Player of the Year last season. Come on now.
  22. You guys are crazy. The all blues are by far the meanest looking uni's we wear. I love them. If only we could pair them with the red helmet. Then, they would be perfect.
  23. The chances of converting the 2-pt conversion is much less than the chances of converting PAT to tie it. Since the 2pt conversion rate league wide is slightly below 50%, it makes more sense for us to kick the PAT and go up 8 since it would be less than a 50% chance we would convert (on average league wide) and also a less than 50% change they would convert to tie if they were down 8. Earlier in the game it could be argued to always go for 2pts since the expected points per attempt on average are slightly higher than that of PATs league wide.
  24. Tip #1 - Do not invest in EJ Manual cards. Trust me.
  25. Except the first round is only at the higher seeds home field, so the Blue Jays will be on the road for the all the first round games.
