    City have gone more than 135 minutes without a shot on goal despite 70+ percent possession. I know that's always a Pep thing (and some was playing backups in Carabao) but it's been bizarre. Not getting any kind of decent looks, and of course allowing the occasional meaty counter-attack the other way.

    NFL Playoffs

    Bartles replied to Vic Mackey's topic in Football

    Division winners are home for sure. There could be re-seeding among 5-7 if there are any upsets, but this weekend's winners are all going on the road at least for Jan. 21-22.

    And their fans! Looking at the bright side, we were about to coast into the 1 seed as a team with no major flaws. Now everyone in the building knows we: can suffer key injuries; can turn the ball over multiple times; can be put in horrible positions by the coaches. If Daniel Jones plays, he's crafty enough to put up enough points to beat the Eagles, even with Hurts back (and probably a little rusty).

    Minshew got spoiled going against Dallas D last week. Saints don't give up many passing yards. And their nickel and dime offense can be effective with a double digit lead. Really need Jalen Hurts to play next week at NYG

    I don't know the letter of the rule but yeah it went well behind the LOS and was contacted by a UW player then UT fell on it

    This movie BTW is pretty entertaining. Towards the end it gets overly predictable. I was half expecting Smith to have a "welcome to earth motherfucker" moment with Foster and it's not far off from that. Some of the plantation and war scenes are really well shot and disturbing.

    Fillmore Philly balcony is clutch. I don't mind crowded floors, but I can't be showing up 30 minutes before the opening act and trying to keep my spot for 2-3 hours. Plus my wife is short so if she's gonna see we have to upgrade to a seat upstairs. Wish I lucked into tix to War on Drugs at tiny Johnny Brenda's, that will be incredible

    Feels like the Fiesta a few years ago when Clemson put the 31-0 on em

    NFL Week 11

    Bartles replied to Vic Mackey's topic in Football

    Just the ideal backup who can step in and beat pretty much anyone. Can't believe teams keep letting him go

    Fluky game all around. Not worried about the Eagles yet. In the NFL, it's really hard to win when you know in the back of your mind, a loss doesn't hurt you much. Especially a division game against a team you already beat. Nothing really notable about this, other than I agree with some above that Heineke wins where Wentz would not have.

    Can't be mad at the Phillies. I wasn't expecting to devote so much time and energy to watching baseball the last 3-4 weeks. After 12 years not doing that, it's pretty exhausting.
  12. Bartles
    Yeah, did he think UF would somehow score while taking a knee at the +27 yard line? Had to pin them back to do it

    Those crowd misery shots, including the App State shirt, are some of the best work ESPN has ever done

    Cancelo blatant foul/red card in the box allows Fulham to tie City 1-1 in 29th minute. City will be shorthanded for 60 minutes

    This is great, and you only scratch the surface about how stupid they are. Bohm, Castellanos, even Realmuto who is so smart on the field. They have no idea what is happening in the world outside their clubhouse. I mean their current rally song was blatantly lifted from the fucking 2021 loser Red Sox (via Schwarber). And they don't know nor care that it's a remix of a remake. But those guys are prone to slumping (other than Harper). Not so much about last night as just normally having lots of 0-3 and 0-4's with mostly K's.

    If I didn't have rooting interest, I'd be mildly entertained by this series. But game 1 was the only time you had the late inning tension that people like to see in every WS game.

    It's good to know this whole stupid era, basically my entire adult lifetime, is coming to an end. Let the scumbags be scummy and see if they can actually coach finally
  19. Bartles
    Yeah, I think the books like to circulate stuff like that to encourage crazy parlay betting. That said, I was at the game and when Bohm was introduced pre-game, a guy in front of me at concessions said "Bohm home run, $100 to win $950 baby!". My thought was, you wasted your money dude. Turns out he was a happy bro about an hour later.

    Maybe the communities should be allowed to decide? Since teams are trying to draw 2 million+ local fans, maybe they should build a facility that those people want to visit regularly? As opposed to October weddings 1,500 miles away. Philly, NYC, Boston, Chicago, Baltimore, DC...I don't think a dome has ever been seriously considered for any MLB or NFL team in those cities. Without CR'ing this (read: definitely CR), spending a ton of money on an unpopular facility that will run up massive energy bills is not going to fly right now in most large cities. It is absolutely true Game 3 could have been played just by starting four hours earlier, a decision which could have been made on Sunday. It's also true that one of these days, a northern host is gonna have multiple cancellations and games played under 40 degrees. Those are two completely different problems, but neither will ever change. Good news - the rest of this week will be beautiful here in Philly.

    It's pretty simple, they cheated but failed in game 1, then cheated successfully in game 2! I'm not picking up a lot of whining here in Philly about the new cheating. I think tonight is the Stros first trip here since the 2017 scandal though, so I'm sure there will be trash can references and signs. Otherwise our fans will take their seats and clap politely when warranted.

    We have already seen how this ends

    Knebel bombed out like 3-4 months ago, he won't be anywhere near this series. Pimphand is correct, rotation is Wheeler-Nola-Suarez and probably Syndergaard but game 4 is a bullpen game either way. Astros pitching has way more postseason experience, but it's not all good numbers for those guys especially in the World Series.

    A trying-to-be-objective preview from a native Philadelphian who once again lives in Philly: What has worked for the Phillies the last couple weeks is sending two of the best starters in MLB into half-dead road ballparks, just needing to grab one of two weekday games, which is exactly what happened (won both in StL actually). Then come home for the weekend and just overwhelm with sporadic home runs, all hands on deck bullpen efforts and a bonkers crowd for three hours. The World Series should be different in that there are no half-dead crowds paying $39 per ticket like Atlanta. The day of week doesn't matter, everyone knows this is it. But there is still the possibility of Wheeler and/or Nola getting a road win. Then if Stros to come to Philly and DON'T win two of three? That creates a toss up at the end.
