As someone who loves both my Roku Ultra and YTTV, I find this news most unwelcome.

The new Chromecast has been a much better experience than Firestick or Roku.

So can we rule out A&M for any and all WR recruits now? What a hot mess.

Lol they lost Banks already.

I’m not sure if Herman ever did? Even his victory formation was in the gun.
I guess the tribute to DKR? I think Garret Gilbert took some plays under center after Mack freaked out about the run game in 2010.

He mentions "under center". When was the last time we ran a play under center?

Rumor on Twitter that Atlanta is in talks with Dallas and New England for a trade up to 4.
Seems dumb
Can we get like a name or a tweet or something?

What Dallas needs to realize is you don't need to go all out and draft OL very high. They went all in last decade and used tons of draft capital and then salary cap capital to try and replicate their OL from the glory days. But that OL was nowhere near built how they did it here. We don't need all these 1st round picks across the board. At one point, we were far and away the #1 team who spent the most percentage of the cap on the OL. And it blew up in their face. Tyron is breaking down and misses games every year. Frederick is retired. Zach Martin now gets hurt.
2016 was really the only year we got the most out of that until from start to finish.
I feel like you're creating a false dichotomy.
Saying we should draft Sewell or Slater is not saying we should spend all our cap on the offensive line.
However, if you look at all pro teams, the one position that is dominated by first round picks is the offensive line. You will never see an all pro team with 3 or 4 guys drafted day 2. The best linemen come from the first round. I believe 9 of the past 10 all pros were first round picks.
If Tyron or Lael can't play past next year, we will not find an all pro replacement off the scrap heap.
-
Tyron has missed 26 games in five years. People were wondering if his career was over five months ago. Lael Collins just had hip surgery.
Drafting a tackle at 10 makes sense. Surtain at 10 makes sense. Trading down makes sense. Every other route has me worried.

Sam was very inaccurate downfield last year. That was a big part of the problem.
It was 50% his inaccuracy and 50% the receivers' inability to beat press man coverage.
Sarkisians entire philosophy of offense last year seemed to be to force a defense to play man coverage to stop RPOs and then attack that man coverage.
We desperately need some receivers to figure out how to beat a press and how to separate.
-
Neal had more tackles for loss as a box safety this year than Jaylon or LVE combined. Pretty telling of how bad those two are at making plays.
I think Neal could be one of the best players on this defense.

Where is the information coming from that Allen wants to play corner? To my knowledge he has never played corner. Played QB in middle school, some WR in 7 on 7, and safety in high school.

Why am I hearing Jean Jacque Taylor's ESPN radio show on the Ticket right now?
Edit: guess they got hired at the ticket and stuck with weekend duty.
-
BJ's dad is a bit of a Longhorn fan and was excited when we offered the first time. But apparently Sark is going very hard after Allen. As in treating him like a day one starter.
Word I heard is Allen's decommitment had more to do with the interest he was getting from Sark than LSU's collapse.
He likes OU too though.

Haven't had power in 41 hours. I'm pretty sure the attempt at a rolling blackout went bad and they fucked up the whole grid.
A rolling blackout would be a welcome development. I just wish I had any kind of idea when I'd get power or what was being done. It's crazy how hard it is to get real information in 2021. The city doesn't even know what the issue is or when it will be fixed.

Pumped to see the Charlie v. Herman debate flare up here again.
If there's one thing I have always said about Pete Kwiatkowski, it's that Herman was better than Strong.

Ash looked good year one. Orlando looked good year one. Bedford looked good year one. Diaz looked good year one.
Then the Big 12 adjusts and we end up hating all of them.
At this point I'm okay hiring a new one whenever possible.

I don't really have an opinion other than that list is incredibly depressing.

Don't have ESPNNEWS. Can't watch the game.

Listened to some conservative talk radio for the first time in over a decade. It's glorious. The combination of pure absurdly mixed with the depression is a comedy gold mine.
Hearing Mark Levin ask himself "where's the evidence?" And answer "I don't have any evidence" like it was a good argument? Hearing that Rush apparently peddles Qanon level conspiracy theories? Chefs kiss.

So if Biden wins Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Georgia and gets to 306 electoral votes, was 538 still wrong? Just checking.
By the way I have no specific love for Nate Silver. But the Cloak Room mid election looks just like the football board when Texas is down by 7.

Consistently getting the probabilities wrong can happen even if you mail the ultimate winner or loser. Vegas doesn’t get credit for setting a -21 line on a game of the favorite ends up winning by 3.
I'm again going to disagree here. I don't think 538 was claiming Biden would win with 330 electoral votes. They were saying there were far more scenarios where Biden wins than he loses.
That is because Biden needed a few swing states and Trump needed almost all of them.

I eventually bought into this after 2016, but it’s much worse now. If you act like American politics is a random grab bag, then sure, they’re doing fine. But we only have two political parties and very narrow potential deviations that we’re dealing with in every election. For the models to be off by so much in that environment really strains credulity.
What I'm saying is that we have no evidence that the model is far off at the moment.
If you want to be pissed about polls in Iowa and Texas, be pissed off. But 538 had dozens of scenarios where Biden lost those states and still won the election.
It's important to read what one criticizes.

If a guy says someone has an 89% chance of winning and you interpret that to mean it's going to be a blowout, it says more about your understanding of probability than it does the guy himself.
Go look at the 538 forecast and you will see numerous scenarios as close as the one we're seeing unfold.
Also, there's a very decent chance Biden wins several of these states as mail in votes get counted.

Youtube TV sent me a free Google Chromecast for being with them for 2 or 3 years straight. It's been amazing.
The chromecast homescreen is super easy to use and doesn't require you to click on the different apps. You can just resume stuff you've been watching from the main screen. Also seems to work every time. YTTV crashed a lot when I had Firestick.
