  1. All of those were slow burning, though. It took awhile for it to transpire and those front offices needed to do their part. This trade is different. There's nothing slow burning about it. They traded a primetime superstar who just took his team to a Finals months before, also with a pretty subpar supporting cast. It was Luka, Kyrie and a bunch of meh. Similar to 2006 when it was Dirk, Terry and a bunch of meh. But Luka and Dirk were so good that they elevated those supporting players and they looked better than they were. That Mavs team outside of Luka/Kyrie was not even in the same realm as the Celtics roster. The player they traded for was an aging, broken down player with a long injury history. Nothing about it was hindsight. It was said the second it happened, this was going to be terrible for the Mavs and would ruin any championship window they had with Luka. AD is not that guy, you can't build around him. Yes, Luka was injured as well but he's younger and injuries affect big men more. And now? The Mavs are looking to trade AD. That makes this trade infinitely worse. You essentially traded Luka for whatever they can scrounge up for AD in the end. Those trades listed above is even not close to how bad this was. This trade immediately tanked the Mavs into 90s level of sucking. Lakers now have a much longer future. And got rid of the baggage that is AD.
  2. Vandy was inches away from recovering the onside kick. With how that game was unfolding and how terrible our defense was, Vandy gets the ball back they probably go score to win in an all-time collapse. That was close to a SC/aggy collapse done in the final quarter. A lot of what Vandy was doing looked to be just garbage time and making the score look more respectable until it became very real we had a chance to lose the game. Thankfully, the ball or player went out of bounds before they could secure the onside.
  3. True but they at least participate in the SEC, where ND has no conference. One less potential game re: conference champ game. And being in no conference, they have no conference schedule to worry about. They can schedule whomever they want. They lost to aggy and Miami this year, win the rest of their shitty schedule, and are in because they are ND. Yes, they got to the national championship game last year but that doesn't discount their path is unlike any other team out there, they aren't apart of a conference. Also, aggy at least won all their games so far, one being against ND. ND lost both their toughest games so far.
  4. Do you trust us to hit on those picks? I don't. Eagles went the route of just drafting all of the Georgia defense and it worked out well for them.
  5. When I was growing up, there was so much talent in Garland and Mesquite. Great times at Memorial Stadium in Mesquite watching North Mesquite, the zone I grew up in before my family moved us to Forney. Demographics changed so much in that area of Mesquite. They moved down a classification and that area and Mesquite as a whole is majority Hispanic. They are pretty much what Bryan Adams High School is. Good at soccer, not so much football anymore.
  6. I'd go further and say sports history. I've tried to think of another one this lopsided and can't.
  7. Adolis will forever be a Rangers legend. Good luck on your next endeavors, sir.
  8. Tapa is superior to the mobile version and it's not even close. I despise mobile versions of websites. App every day of the week. I'm not going to visit social media on a mobile website, and this is a version of social media. Until Surly isnt available on Tapa, I will continue to use it.
  9. Offense can be Potent against terrible defensive teams like Giants, Raiders, Jets. Did tie against GB so I'll give them that. Against the good teams? Bears, Eagles, Denver - offense was underwhelming to downright bad. Eagles, they started off fast, 2 TDs in first 2 drives then went into a shell. Also a common theme of these games is being on the road. This offense doesn't travel well, especially when that venue is outside a comfortable dome environment, which all of those teams had. This has been a theme for a very long time. The Arizona Cardinals game was a game that will most likely do them in. Arizona was on a 5 game losing streak going into that game and have been blown out both games since their win against us. Not only did they beat us, they dominated us. Score looked a little closer but Arizona's offense exerted their will, with Jacoby Brissett in our stadium. Offense was junk, defense couldn't get any stops. If they had won that game, they'd still have a fighting chance coming into the teeth of their schedule. They are now going to need to win some games against better teams and do it consistently. Trust them to do that? I don't.
