2025 NFL Preseason Thread of Desperation
I used to love NFL preseason and gobble up all I could with every team I could watch. But it kept getting more and more lame as teams don't value any significant reps to players that will actually be on the team. I just like watching the young developing players and the unheralded underdog guys making good. But it has become mostly a waste of time Practice Squad audition to sell a few tickets to fans who can't afford the real games, and start media hype for the season from the paid yakkers. You don't learn much at all from preseason. The first few weeks of the season are the real preseason now, which is why is typically sloppy AF. But I still watch some until I get lulled to sleep.

Milton is his scouting report before game 17 last year. Saw Jerry coming.

They only seem to step up and give new bigger contracts earlier to the players that never perform to that level, or they get hurt. Damned if you do... They need to draft quality, especially D-line and O-line, before they really have a desperate need. That's the big difference between them and Philly.

I had to miss it, but an awesome win. 1.38 ERA in August is freakin' insane. Dang, boyyyy!

I've been thinking the same about Higgy and possibility of playing first. They need better options there that at least add some kind of batting threat.

Too bad they couldn't get a lead while Garcia was unavailable. That's the way baseball suck.

If this hasn't ended Garcia's reign of non-closing, I fucking give up.

This is good fun until Garcia comes in to close it out.

Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
This was a somewhat prophetic quote from an article posted on USA Today Cowboyswire the other day, via The Athletic History says Cowboys will get Micah Parsons deal done — but when? :: The Athletic Link “He’s getting paid,” Jerry Jones said of his star edge rusher. “He gets about $20-some million right now. And that’s a pretty easy $20 million standing there watching practice." But the longer this goes on, the tougher it will be for Parsons to stay on the sideline and not talk to reporters. In some ways, he’s like the Jerry Jones of players; he enjoys the media side of the job. What gets said- by both parties- in the meantime may prove to be the most interesting part of this standoff.

Always a Cowboys fan, never a bandwagon jumper. That shit is for the weak. I'll root for some teams secondarily when I like something about them, but never as a replacement. Otherwise, I don't see the purpose in watching sports if you don't have emotional ties. It doesn't mean I have had any expectations over the past 30 years, other than expecting Jerry to be Jerry and having to deal with it.

Last night's loss sucked, but for me it wasn't as bad as the previous one, when they just played like shit the whole game. I already knew when Maton came out for the 8th that it was going to come down to Garcia in the 9th and it likely wouldn't go well. I was totally prepared for that eventuality. The number one thing the Rangers needed to fix, didn't get fixed. Bochy needs to get over that crush and move on to finding who has the stomach for it.

Regular Garcia is back, unfortunately. He's not a closer.

Rangers should really get double-runs for getting those fatasses around all them bases.

All Jerry had to do was keep his fucking mouth shut.
