  1. I was about to suggest the same. Every game, every sport is available. I run an HDMI from the laptop to the tv and never miss a game I want to see.
  2. The technology has been there for some time now and would be relatively inexpensive to implement. Not to be overly cynical, but maybe the league likes having more influence in determining outcomes for maximum revenue? (entertainment value$$$) (Tim Donaghy stated they were told by the NBA the stars to give preferential treatment to. He also said he is hardly the only problem gambler in debt to the mob who was influencing games.) Otherwise I can't see any reason why they would delay making the game more transparent and fair.
  3. I remember reading that the NFL actually used the 'we are just entertainment' defense in a court of law, so that is their stated position. The fact that people wager billions of dollars a year on a sport that the league asserts a right to script is just mind boggling.
  4. I like tossing cow pies! I won a cow pie tossing contest at a charity square dance in Sonoma, got a nice dinner for 2. I just threw it like a frisbee.
  5. Go Sabres 2-0 Great goaltending today by Tokarski. Keep it going
  6. Yep The 'good energy' in this thread is just overwhelming. I watched the game yesterday and saw them playing like a team. It was really good to see. Maybe some 'fans' should quit kicking them and piling on. It's a new team and a new opportunity to turn it around.
  7. What ***** garbage that game was. Watching the Sabres dominate their opener tonight was awesome, so good to see. ☺
  8. That was a 15 yard penalty and first down at a key game deciding moment what a joke
  9. The refs are an embarrassment. As if TB needs all this help.
  10. I cannot stand to even hear his voice anymore. I had the sound off and music playing before the end of the 1st qtr. I left it off the rest of the game. It worked out really well.☺
  11. I criticized his inconsistency catching the ball. I had doubts he would ever get it together. Now I'm just really psyched he is breaking out. A tight end threat has been missing for so long. Good job Dawson! With Knox' emergence and breakout, Emmanuel Sanders playing like his best years in Denver and the running game fired up, this offense threatens from every position now.
  12. Lots of sacks are about luck, being in the right place, etc. I'm just glad to see more energy, power and presence from him this year. It's a great sign for the d so far.
  13. Oliver is playing well imo. He is winning his battles. Star is playing well. They are the #1 defense so far
  14. He's playing with more power, drive and energy. He has 2 sacks already, equal last year's total. If he continues playing like this they will be hard to beat.
  15. Evidently Dallas was afraid they would be on the hook for a guaranteed 9.5 mil next year if he got injured and felt their needs and his play didn't warrant that risk. People thinking he's washed up at 27 or that he sucks are probably going to be wrong in my estimation. I think a change of location will be good for him.
  16. I have to take partial responsibility. I left the room to get a jump on the commercial break and completely missed the blocked punt td. For some reason I thought they would be okay without my calm focus and intensity for one play, a punt. I am definitely not taking any responsibility for the play calling, Allen's terrible game, or the lack of talent on the offensive line.
  17. Hutchinson looks like the real deal. Michigan looked solid. Not sure how strong the win turns out to be, Washington has no offense and lost last week to Montana.
  18. Thanks, haven't had time to finish it yet but great analysis. The Bills have 3 of the top 5 wrs in the league in efficiency vs zone coverage. Diggs Beasley and Sanders; Thielen and Cooks are the other 2. That's incredible.
  19. Ransom not even trying to get lower, he's launching up as he smashes the side of wr's head and neck with his helmet. Such a dangerous play, then he laughs on the sideline and goes unpunished. The complete opposite message of what the sport is trying to promote. It's disgusting. People saying that's just football are idiots. It's a dangerous sport but that's why these rules exist in the first place. If that kind of violence and injury is why you watch football(read multiple posts online today of people saying this), get help. That's a young man's brain being damaged for your entertainment. (the get help comment is in general and not to anyone in particular)
  20. content://com.android.chrome.FileProvider/images/screenshot/1630710477032662557618.jpg Launches headfirst and hits him in the earhole with his helmet. Exactly the hit the rule was to prevent. How the ***** does that not draw a penalty? He was out before he hit the ground! Then they only reviewed the play to see if he fumbled? Didn't even look at or mention the targeting, nothing to see here. It's not a good look for the Big 10. Didn't they change their league rules near the end of season in Dec last year to benefit Ohio State? Hard to understand how anyone could think the Big 10 is protecting and aiding their best chance at $$$$$$$ and a title. huh?
  21. Who's reffing the Oregon game? The Big 10 conference homer refs or a neutral conference? I cannot believe that play was reviewed and instead of targeting they changed the call to a fumble and recovery. Besides the impact on the game the optics for the sport were just horrific. The guy was hit in the head with the helmet and literally knocked unconcious.
