    where are you reading that?

    "Republican Rep. Patrick McHenry of North Carolina will now temporarily lead the House of Representatives after the speaker's position was vacated on Tuesday.

    McHenry, who is a top ally of Kevin McCarthy, was appointed speaker pro tempore.

    His name was on a list McCarthy was required to give to the clerk in case of a vacancy. 

    The speaker pro tempore, which is the official title, can only recess the House, adjourn the chamber and recognize speaker nominations."

    Hmmmmm..... isn't the smart play by GOP to not have another vote and just move on with business as usual with McHenry up there?  I am trying to understand incentive to bother with another vote.

    McHenry can only do 3 things as speaker pro tempore:

    1. recess the House
    2. adjourn the chamber
    3. recognize speaker nominations

    They can't do shit without a speaker...which I guess is business as usual for this group.

    I don't understand how you can reverse based on that. 

    All evens out in the end.  The missed calls on Henry TD were way more egregious than this reversal.

  4. Some lineman from Florida threw a punch there and is going to have a nice suspension to show for it.  Tennessee guy knew what he was doing, just kept backing up and jawing, trying to get him to do something stupid.

    Milroe is going to be a good QB for someone next season. This is stupid by bama. 

    Doubt it.  He'll probably stay at Bama if they give him the starting job back for the rest of the season.  Then he has a chance at being good next season, but really he looks like he needs more then just 1 year to really figure everything out.

    If he doesn't get the starting job back next week/very soon, then yeah, he probably transfers, but there's no way he magically figures everything out by next year without playing and becomes a good qb for someone else.

  6. Fuck it, Bama should just punt now.  South Florida will continue to be a complete shitshow on offense, they'll run the ball again on 4th and X regardless of where they are, fail again, and Bama will flip the field.

    Saban is doing this on purpose. He is showing the Bama sky screamers exactly what the Alabama QBs are., and what he has to choose from. Milroe is the best option that they have, and not a bad QB, just needs some time in the saddle.

    Jalen on deck?

    If so, bold strategy by Saban to remove all doubt that he's absolutely been trash at qb recruitment and development for years, and Bryce Young just provided him a few extra years of cover.

    Don’t think he does if Monty stays healthy. 
     

    Gibbs is the new Pollard. 

    Slight disagreement.  I think it'll be closer to a true timeshare like Williams and Swift last year unless Gibbs does something to piss off the coaching staff.

    Anybody else hopes this dude fails?

    They didn’t even give Minshew a shot.

    Not unless there's a bunch of Tyreek Hill/Antonio Brown off-the-field issues that surface.  If he succeeds, it will be because the Colts managed to correct his mechanics and footwork.  I'm all for NFL franchises becoming more competent at developing the QB position so we get more high-ceiling guys at the position instead of trotting out Gardner Minshew to dink and dunk down the field.

  10. Does Boston not recall game 6 for them last series?  

    Philly fucked around for 90% of the game while Tatum was complete ass and got burned.  Boston should be up 10-12+ at least, given how bad Jimmy and Bam have been.

    Have you considered that he is simply a stupid motherfucker? Dude can hoop, but he's dumb as a pile of shit. 

    No one's ever confused the general pool of NBA players, or any pro sports players for that matter, with being rhodes scholars.  But if nothing else, they generally seem to have a grasp of what it takes to stay out of the news off the court to keep the big paychecks coming until they physically break down.
