Yeah, his knee was down but I guess his upper body had broken the plane with the ball. They didn't give us a very good replay.

so of course we see him limp off...

for that good they are doing in the air they could put three RBs out there with no QB and just run the wishbone.....🤷‍♂️

LOL - guys in the booth talking about it being a pointless expecting St. Brown to make a block.

Goff couldn't throw it far enough

what's coach and/or QB supposed to do when you send in the swing pass on 2nd down and have two receivers out there on one DB, one to catch one to block and the blocking receiver decides to just play spectator? That's an easy 1st down if St. Brown was interested in playing a little football.

do you think they are that close? I go back and forth but in general I think they are still 3 or four better players away even after Edvinsson . I'd feel better if Velano at least would play well enough to force himself into the lineup.

was this posted on Facebook?

I guess you don't follow medical technology......

you mean "Georgia is blown out by Alabama.." ?

I'll give you that if he and UM were to part ways at the end of this season ( which at this point with 10 wins probable is highly unlikely) I'd put his chances of landing in the NFL is definitely better than another college gig. One thing he doesn't seem cut out for is a transition to broadcasting......

that's in interesting concept. You are bad - you spend a little money to get better and that leverages you into better draft picks? On first hearing I like that -- but you'd have to game out all the possible ways to abuse it. Maybe you don't want to get too much better in one year because if you spread your improvement over a couple years you might get 2 #3s as opposed to 1 #1? That wouldn't be so bad but what if it ends up encouraging a team to *really* tank to have a low winning % in year zero to bootstrap themselves into top pick the next year? Do you want to penalize a team with solid management that suffers a bunch of injuries one year? I like the base concept but as always the devil would be in the details.

HaHa! that would be fun. But probably more chaos if the conf champ game winner and all the the other B10 teams have two losses. OSU with a win in the conf championship and only losses to top 10 teams probably still gets some consideration. But if Wisc wins the conf game at 3 losses and everyone else has at least two - I think that makes it an easier decision to leave the B10 at home.

needless to say it's been in mine (UMich) for awhile now. Some embrace it, some ignore it. We do see students who have re-assigned.

Did anyone see Scott Boras' comments at the GM meetings? Apparently he went off on deadline deals ruining the game for the fans as tanking teams allow other teams to completely rebuild after mid-season - I guess the implication being that teams trying to build the right way and their fans end up screwed.

pretty much nails it....

Do they though? The Dodgers yes, the Yankees, Mets and Padres not so much recently. Braves, White Sox, Brewers, Tampa were all under ~$153M with the league average of 128M. Definitely true that If you are near the bottom you are very likely bad, but being at the very top doesn't seem to buy you much of anything. The luxury tax does function as a defacto salary cap and teams that get too much money tied up in too few players for too long do tend to suffer for it. There is a sweet spot and it probably lines up pretty well with Avila's 'drunken sailor' concept. https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/payroll/2021/

the Fisher deal is insanity. A&M has met the Al Avila definition of sotted sea dog. I can imagine people in the finance offices at A&M silently praying everyday someone does make him an offer that he accepts and gets them out from under an almost 9 figure liability....

I've heard Harbaugh does not retain professional representation - maybe you should offer your services...

They still have some picks stockpiled don't they? My nagging fear is that they are going to play themselves out of any more high picks before there is enough in the pipeline behind Edvinssion and Berggren

I'd like to see him play without the trapezoid. Which is about the dumbest rule in hockey IMO. Why the he** should a team be penalized because their goalie can play hockey?

in the absence of a better option, the emoj looks suitable as a wry face or irony. I don't much care what the forum SW wants to call it. They are visual cues so they are what they look like, not what the forum SW decides to tag them. Call it the Humpty Dumpty approach to emojis.

Terrible 15 min to start the 3rd period. Nedeljkovic should have been 1st star.

true - the old saying holds - you are either adding players to get better or you are getting worse. Most good teams are already too old not to get worse if they stand still.

Not clear yet Faedo will be pitching anywhere before June, but we can hope.
