  1. You always have to wonder about a college QB who throws to wide open future first round pick receivers, is he an awesome QB or just in a very favorable position?
  2. I think if the ball lands in the end zone or hits short of the landing zone (including hitting kicking team players), the ball comes all the way out to the 35.
  3. Why can’t they make it where the kicker can drop it anywhere past the 35 (or the area between where the two teams line up) and it’s a recoverable, live ball? Keeps the onside and surprise onside still in play.
  4. Manfred and MLB won’t do shit against the Dodgers or Yankees. What they say happened is the least logical and about every other explanation would terrible for them. Their changing stories a couple times makes it even less credible. That was a well crafted denial written by the Dodger lawyers though.
  5. Both LOL. Kindergarten age kids went from whiffing to at least making contact. But the foam covered pvc did not last long after real baseballs were mixed in. It worked with tee drills, but got most value from soft toss using soft balls.
  6. I too am frugal so during our fall 6U season, I went to Home Depot and bought some rope, pvc pipe, pipe insulation foam, and black duck tape. I made a poor man’s version for every boy on the team. They were as sturdy as the real ones, but worked fine when the kids were hitting squish balls or tennis balls to work on their swing. Inevitably most of the boys started hitting baseballs with them and they exploded.
  7. WTF they are allowing video review taken from iPads and cell phones? Can you start protesting balls and strikes soon based on Grandma’s tik tok reel?
  8. Not sure if spoiler, probably addressed in first 5 minutes of first episode: Some of the things you mentioned about Jedi or rebels getting their hands dirty, yeah but it was always a greater good thing. I think there are people out there who want to rewrite it like the Jedi were actually the villains, or at least non-good misguided force zealots. They were clearly ignorant, but I don’t believe they ever had bad motives. Painting the sith, night sisters, or other dark side users as the heroes is some Lucifer worship type shit.
  9. Read some nerd reviews yesterday who say this creator loved The Last Jedi and pitched to Kathleen Kennedy that they could redeem that movie by exploring more on the themes that the Jedi are wrong, or bad, or morally ambiguous. I don’t know why Disney keeps coming back to this. Andor showed you can make great SW content that is not related to Skywalkers. You don’t have to tear down motifs and characters that people have loved for 40+ years and upon which your franchise is based.
  10. You jest, but I heard they made Morph into a trans and the creators intended for there to be ambiguity in “his” relationship with Wolverine.
  11. Onside kicks are an awesome part of football, and they already hamstrung it by forcing half the kicking team players to line up on each side of the kicker. This proposal eliminates the possibility of a surprise onside. I would be open to a safer set up like they discussed with b both teams lined up farther down field, but they should get creative and work a way to do onside kicks into it.
  12. My boys can’t wait for their first surly tailgate of the SEC era. They started offering beer to any coed who walked by.
  13. Not so bold prediction: they left Yoda out of the trailer so there can be an ooo and ah moment when he comes on screen. This period is probably peak for him #nocane
  14. All true points. But the question was if ATL was better off reaching for a QB at #8 or blowing a lot of draft capital to get up in the top 3 for Mayes or Daniels, vs. signing Cousins and taking best player available with their draft pick. It isn’t a slam dunk that signing Cousins was the incorrect move.
  15. The recipe isn’t a mystery: good QB, good OL, good DL, and as many playmakers at WR and DB that you can fit in your salary cap. Since non-rookie contract QBs are the most expensive, drafting a star QB gives the most roster flexibility. OTOH first round QBs are busting at like a 75% rate in recent years, so do you want to play those odds? What was ATL supposed to do, draft JJ McCarthy or Bo Nix at #8 and hope for the best? Trade 3 first round picks to the Redskins or Patriots and take their chances with Maye or Daniels? Signing Cousins (who is a known commodity) allows them to keep their picks and get a difference maker at WR or DE with the #8 pick. 4 of the last 9 Super Bowls were won by acquired QBs with a well rounded roster (Manning, Foles, Brady, Stafford).
  16. Denver is in salary cap purgatory and their roster is shit. They should be trading back and picking up extra 2nd and 3rd round picks and hope to get as many to stick as possible. Taking Bo Nix at #12 is opposite of this.
  17. They could’ve blown the top off their following, tickets, merchandise, and general good will and they blew it with their aw shucks way of doing things. It wasn’t an either/or to have a winning team and badass threads.
  18. Chose not to make a light blue jersey ✅ Ignored what Houston fan base (and football fans in general) were crying out for ✅ Used Fubu-esque font for numbers ✅ Way to go, Texans! It was so easy to do a great thing and you stepped on your dick.
  19. Here you go, Texans. A powder blue jersey that doesn’t use red so Adams family can fuck off, and there is no use of Old English or Fubu font.
  20. I would challenge that shit, either in court or among the other 30 NFL owners. This is grade A bullshit and spite from the Adams family towards regular football fans when their hostility should be aimed at former politicians (many of whom are dead now, like Bud and the raccoon that lived on his head). The McNairs hoped by running from Oilers themes, colors, history, former players, etc. that Houston fans would forget and fully embrace the Texans. It’s become clear that didn’t happen and there’s a huge demand for retro color scheme gear. Cal needs to quit being Amy Adams Seaskunk’s bitch boy.
  21. I still don’t get the impossibility or trademarkability of a color scheme. At various points, the Eagles and Jets were green and white. The 49ers and Cardinals are red and white (cardinals added black as an accent in recent years). Bills and Giants are royal blue with red and white as secondary colors. What gives the Adams family the right to block all other teams from having a non-“Columbia” shade of light blue for a jersey? They really overstepped their bounds IMO by sending cease and desists at UH and Rice for using color schemes similar to the Oilers when no reasonable person would confuse an NCAA team with a professional NFL team. They are being bullies and need a legal slap down.
  22. Any navy is too much. Pics like this get me nervous, like the new uniforms will be a Fubu inspired version of the battle red helmet and jersey alternates with light blue accents like shadow on numbers or something. 🤮 Make it H-town blue or don’t do it. Nothing half ass.
  23. Hopefully the plan is watch the draft board unfold and be ready to jump back up into the 30s based on who they want (like jumping in front of KC for a WR).
  24. If Caserio doesn’t see value, he should make the obvious move and trade back. There could be teams in the late first or early second that want to jump up for a particular OT or WR and give up an extra 3rd round pick. #23 is probably too early for Longhorns Mitchell, Worthy, and Sweat but it would be amazing if they somehow walked away with two of those guys.
  25. Not just less money for Mixon, but Mixon in a contract year should give maximum effort. I like it much better than overpaying Barkley or Henry. They are are better on offense and with a couple more signings will be better on defense (on paper) without consuming a ton of cap space.
