  1. Awesome achievement for all those guys. Beasley just shouldn't be there though. He had a great season for himself, but this is just a weird quirk with the way the voting works where receiving 1 outlier vote from someone was enough to tie. There were definitely more deserving WRs this year though.
  2. The 2nd team is essentially just whoever received the most votes that wasn't enough for 1st team. Voters only voted for one TE and Kelce received every single vote, so therefore, they couldn't give 2nd team to anyone.
  3. To me, it's already a success. Allen and the team made a huge leap and the offense as a whole made an even larger leap. It can be a successful season with a disappointing ending (losing to the Colts). I don't think those two things contradict one another.
  4. Are the Jaguars viewed as an impatient franchise? They've generally given all of their coaches a very long time to prove themselves with the exception of Mularkey going 2-14 in his one season as a coach. Coughlin got 8 years (granted he was legitimately good). Del Rio got 9 years despite only 2 playoff appearances. Bradley got 3 years despite winning a total of 14 games. And Marrone got 4 years. I think the Jags are a sneaky good destination; the major drawback is the fairweather fans/London relationship if you view that as a bad thing. But you get to walk into Trevor Lawrence, a boatload of other future picks, and the ability to pretty much build a team from scratch to your liking. Chargers definitely seem like the most likely for Daboll though.
  5. So is the test 3 days prior the only one? So hypothetically a fan can get the test and then go do whatever for 3 days and get Covid and he’ll be fine to be let in?
  6. I had to pay twice that to get tested before I went home for thanksgiving lol
  7. Defensively sure, but I think him in place of Griffin hurts us more offensively than it helps defensively. Still, I expect that'll be what Boeheim does.
  8. There will be times that we need Sidibe but I don’t think we can bench Dolezaj and Guerrier who are probably our top 2 players right now and I don’t think the 3 of them together will work well.
  9. Not taking my victory lap yet on Richmond, but I still think he's going to be one of the best players we've had in quite a while provided the NBA doesn't come calling too early. Curious to see what we do when Sidibe returns. I think the correct answer is bringing him off the bench. We should have 2 of Guerrier, Dolezaj, and Sidibe on the floor at all times but never all 3 of them IMO. To me, the ideal lineup is Kadary, Buddy, Griffin, Guerrier, and Dolezaj with Girard, Woody (who has really shocked me with his play so far), and Sidibe off the bench.
  10. The other obvious exception to this is the one from the finale itself. Moff is obviously still alive and the saber is now Din's (he clearly beat him in battle but didn't kill him or even hurt him) so theoretically Bo could do the same to Din. I agree it does seemingly set Din up as a reluctant leader, and with his quest to reunite Grogu with the Jedi now complete, there isn't really an obvious quest for him at this point so maybe this is where the show is pivoting to.
  11. Sucks for the Jets, but honestly, there's every chance it would have worked out with Lawrence the same way it did with Darnold. Their team is so far away from having a supporting cast around their QB that I don't think it really matters who the QB is. All I know is that they can't really justify Darnold's 5th year option.
  12. I noticed the Gilliam blocks immediately when that play happened too, though I think in watching it back again, it looks more like the first block was just the defender trying to interfere with Gilliam and accidentally tripped over his own feet lol. The second block on that play was an actual block though.
  13. Realistically, barring a collapse, it'll likely be Mahomes or Rodgers, but it's incredible that Allen actually has to be mentioned. Our boy (and our team) has come such a long ways.
  14. I share my account with my partner so this was all messed up but it's kinda funny to see the mix of music. Our top genres were basically pop (both of us), hip hop (me), and show tunes (her). Our top songs were basically all the songs from the newest The Killers album, which we both liked and she in particular listened to a ton so no surprise there. Our most listened artists were basically The Killers, the Hamilton soundtrack, and any singer that was a part of the Hamilton cast lol. I'd be really curious to see what the list would look like if it was just my music. I would guess it would be mostly a mix of hip hop, pop, soul, and latino music. Looking through our top songs list, the ones that I know are there because of me personally are: The Killers - Dying Breed Walk Off the Earth - I'll Be There Sam Cooke - What a Wonderful World Kygo/Whitney Houston - Higher Love Alvaro Soler - La Cintura Avicii - Without You Erphaan Alves - Overdue Marquess - Calle de Ritmo Morat/Alvaro Soler - Yo Contigo, Tu Conmigo The Weeknd - Blinding Lights Michael Kiwanuka - One More Night Jackson 5 - I Want You Back Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell - Ain't No Mountain High Enough The Spinners - Working My Way Back to You Cordae/Anderson .Paak - RNP Michael Kiwanuka - Hero Eric B/Rakim - Paid In Full I'd guess the artists I listen to the most when my partner isn't around are Alvaro Soler, Cordae, Eric B/Rakim, Michael Kiwanuka, Run The Jewels and Sam Cooke.
  15. To an extent, maybe, but there's a couple of issues with politics that I think contribute as well: The polarization of the country is pushing people further and further away from one another. The days of decent people having a healthy exchange of ideas and compromising on what we think is a good solution are mostly gone. We'll see if Biden is somehow able to change that, but it seems at this point that to be successful in a primary, you have to pretty much publicly say the other side is evil, which is just inherently a bad thing IMO. Disagreeing with other viewpoints is obviously fine, but the bodies of government only function properly if people are willing to work together and more and more, it seems like you'll be vilified in your primaries if you try to work with the other side. There's a huge barrier to entry money-wise. Obviously not every race is the same, but it's insanely difficult to make any headway in the political world without significant financial backing. It's simply difficult for a normal person to run for office unless they get lucky and are plucked out of the air by some large donor or fellow politician. Not impossible, but very difficult, especially in the cities. Local politics obviously don't get the same attention that the presidential election gets for example, but in all likelihood, the local politicians will have a much larger impact on your life than the president will.
  16. It could be 0 votes or it could be a little under 9k. Either way, the general belief is that those votes won't help Trump. They'll likely break even or possibly help expand Biden's lead.
  17. It's really not. All he needed was Pennsylvania and the lead will only continue to grow at this point.
  18. Not allowed to count votes received after election day maybe. Biden doesn't need any of those.
  19. It's not going to be close enough for Trump to win via the courts IMO. He'll have to flip 10's of thousands of votes in several states.
  20. I knew roughly how most of the states would be counting their votes (i.e. which ones would favor Trump early and which ones would favor Biden early). I'm not going to lie, I was definitely getting a bit nervous but when the Vegas odds swung like crazy over a bunch of states that Biden didn't actually need, it seemed like a good betting opportunity.
  21. It would appear that I did Bet a ton on Biden winning the popular vote, then when the odds flipped to Trump, I bet on Biden to win the EC and to win Georgia. Might take a little while to make the numbers official, but this election has been very kind to me lol
  22. At this point, it seems like Trump will likely win NC and Alaska and that might be it. Might still pull out Arizona but we'll see. PA, Georgia, and Nevada are basically locks for Biden at this point.
