Hoisting the Lombardi Trophy...

I'm sure Beane's disappointed that this guy passed away...he would have been a hell of a third down option in this RB room...

More likely, he looks like this...

I'd love it but I'm doubtful. Hock didn't make a visit to OBD and I'm 98% sure our first pick will be one of the guys who did...

Having a quality roster gets you in the playoff mix. A quality coach gets you playoff wins (and sometimes a Cup). AV would have not elevated this roster. Only Botts can do that...

Are you a golf fan or just someone who follows Tiger casually because of the media coverage? I'm a big PGA fan and have followed the sport closely since long before Tiger. The Woods I saw yesterday was different from the one during his hay day or even a few years ago. To my eye, he was calmer and more mature than the Tiger of old. He took fewer chances but played great strategic golf. He knows he's not the most powerful ball striker out there any more and is fine with that. He let his experience guide him around that back nine and played a lot like Nicklaus did--minimizing mistakes as those around him got tighter grips and looser swings. And his post-win reaction--of pure joy rather than "I'm the Man!" dick-swinging--was real in my view as well. The media is and will continue to go overboard to capture eyeballs and rake in the dough. F-em, because that's what they do. But that doesn't mean the story of Tiger's transformation is a media concocted one. He really does seem different to me. The proof of the pudding will be if he stays this way--or falls off the wagon with the renewed adulation and goes back to being Old Tiger. Personally, I don't think he will, but he'll certainly be tempted by the money changers in the weeks and months ahead...

No loss IMO. AV is the classic "looks good initially but wears out his welcome in 2-3 years" kind of coach that doesn't get you a cup. Sort of fools gold, rather than the real thing. IMO, there are no good options among the "retreads" left on the market, so I suspect they'll have to go with another young, "up-and-comer" when the coaching carousel music stops...

This just in: people change, mature and grow in new and sometimes unexpected ways as they go through life. Was Tiger a world class dick when he was "Master of the Universe" good in his 20's and early 30s? You bet. But his failures since 2009 appear to have given him new perspective. At age 43, he appears to be more at peace with himself. And open to being "one of the guys" (as evidenced by how many players waited at 18 to congratulate him), rather than aloof and above the crowd. That's why so many people are digging his win, IMO. It's a different, better "Tiger the man, not just the player" we witnessed yesterday. He could have given up and lived in infamy on all his millions. But he kept grinding and trying to find his game, even at the risk of becoming a sad side show or laughing stock. That's the quintessential story of reinvention and perseverance that's so American we all embrace it.

Bo was easily the smartest member of this group...

I feel stupider after opening that link...

Your eyes will thank your in December (and January) as well. Best reason to sit on the Bills side of the field--no need to squint for three hours...

Some players, believe it or not, are motivated by more than money. They want to go to large markets (i.e., Panarin to Florida) or winning teams. Same with Babcock choosing Toronto over Buffalo, even though Pegs would have paid him whatever he wanted...

Fine by me. The fewer accolades a player gets, the less dollar demands they're likely to have down the road. As a small market team, I've always wondered why Bills or Sabres fans want players to win awards that ultimately make them harder to sign when they become free agents--and large market teams start bidding for their services...

"Border officials at the crossing said it was the first time they'd experienced an incident like this." Awk! That line is just so funny...

Stick to "Do you know where your children are..."

I can see Green Bay trading up for Hock. He's be the perfect weapon for Rogers...

Yeah, but the folks who keep going down that road ("if only") are hockey fans. You can expect them to have any idea how probability / random combinations work...

Lol. That's probably a post from Mrs. McCarthy...

Why single out Frelund? IMO, they're all full of $hitt...

Sorry, I thought this thread was about TSW posters...

They'll be a lot more talented when they sign Artemi Panarin this summer. I'm sure that's what has Q (and Panarin) excited about the Florida opportunity...

Lol. Some Kings fans playing with Wiki (last line under Coaching Career): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_McLellan
