    XFL: The sequel

    The kickoff change is fantastic and I think it will make its way to the NFL in a year or two. It makes the play relevant and exciting. Same with the PAT, the 1-2-3 point option is very engaging in a way a chip shot field goal just isn't.
  2. This is, perhaps, a perfect parody of this season.
  3. I thought that was a pretty good ep. The chase-victoria-peter stuff was great. It was hilarious watching Peter's reaction to her reveal. The way they sold Cleveland was funny as well. What happened to the budget? Don't they usually take them some place pimp? Aleyah's dress at the end was fire.
  4. Kickoff at 7p local time. Unironically featuring strong Polynesian ties but also a lot of national talent. Bijan and Prince Dorbah are playing in the game.
  5. Targeting is a terrible rule that never should have been implemented. It is there to appease people that don't even watch the sport. The fact that a player can be tossed because he broke down for a tackle ahead of a ball carrier lowering themselves or making any kind of football move that changes where the defender makes contact with them is absurd and incongruous with how the sport is actually played. It is a very bad rule and blemishes the sport. Also it blows my mind that anyone from the South could think CTE, or anything, is an existential threat to football. Football is the most popular sport in the US and its only getting more popular. NFL ratings are up. CFB ratings are up. In the South, in the Fall, its what we do on Friday Saturday and Sunday. This isn't changing. Science and technology will eventually solve for CTE, in the meantime we're still going to be playing and watching football.
  6. Watching some highlights today and man #8 in the Clemson secondary got absolutely lit up all night. Difference in the game seemed to be LSU adjusted to the 3-1-7 after a quarter by just having Burrow bail out up the middle as needed and Clemson never warmed to the fact that it was an off night for TL. He was missing badly.
  7. My FIL is an aggy back from the days when they didn't have women. 50% of the time he sees me he mentions that Texas is a girls school. I guess because they didn't have girls. Not sure. Anyway. He called me after their bowl game this year to let me know that Jimbo wasn't trying to beat the point spread. I found that to be some next level aggy shit.
  8. I think the game will be close. Clemson is tested and better than any of the three teams that played a 1 score game with LSU. And Clemson's defense is better than Auburn's which was the only team to have really slowed LSU down all year. I'll be rooting for Clemson. I used to think it was cute to listen to LSU talk shit every year only to get beaten into oblivion by Saban. Now that they actually won, its not as cute especially on top of their antics in our game and the lies about the AC in the locker room. Fuck these guys.
  9. Yeah his performance in Bloodline is about as good as it gets.
  10. There was a game about a month ago and a lineman got beat and he said, I shit you not, "Brooks has no idea who came inside of him." I tried to find it on YouTube but I couldn't.
  11. That was a great game as well. The best semi final CFP game yet probably? Most of the others have been blowouts. I thought the Rose Bowl just had a bit of everything that makes college football the best sport. Some interesting story lines, the setting/history and the game itself had a lot of fun shit you don't see all that often like a kickoff return TD and the muffed snap from the punter that got returned for a TD.
  12. This was a great game. It had a bit of everything and it was close throughout. My favorite bowl game of the season this year, aside from our win.
  13. I thought Witcher picked up a lot in episode 3 and was pretty good from there. I have played all the games and read the Last Wish, but none of the other books. The Triss casting is fucking absurd. Other than that I don't have many complaints.
  14. This line is interesting. I have no idea why it is so high. I could see aggy -3 since its effectively a home game for them but 6.5-7 seems crazy. Aggy lost to every team they played with a winning record. That trend should continue here.
  15. I watched some of this hoping to see bed shitting. I was not disappointed. Ravens were down 6-0 at the two minute warning and the half ended Ravens 14-6. Browns fans were booing the shit of their team. It was pretty great.
  16. Post PS Vue, I am pretty sure AT&T Now and Sling are the only ways to get LHN legally without having a cable package.
  17. The committee is incompetent. Georgia at 5 is fucking absurd. They have gotten worse as the season played out. They looked bad against aggy and they just got pantsed in a situation where a win gets them in the playoff. Alabama at 13 and the 5th ranked SEC team is equally absurd. Alabama would be a betting favorite at a neutral site against teams 4-12.
  18. Guy was a pretty badass second string punter. Good luck to him.
  19. He's going to have a long NFL career. He is tough as shit, fast, quick and pretty much catches everything that hits his hands.

    Sam Ehlinger

    The quote is a bad look but Sam is the best, most difference making UT player since Colt and its not particularly close.
  21. Man that sucks. I hope they can figure out what the issue is and correct it.
