Honestly I liked the going for it, just not the going for it relying on Mike Vick. Looks like Ravens may be saved by finding running game again. Shocked they misplaced it

Rongey is one of those "Very Serious People" who knows that no fault can ever lie with those in power and no criticism has ever been accurate.

Another School Shooting
Greater bureaucracy over owning a gun -> bad Greater bureaucracy over being able to vote -> worthwhile We certainly do not have a problem with letting too many felons on the street. That is an insane thing to believe. Have any of the recent mass shooters been a bunch of "thugs" out from jail?

I'm glad benitendi is working out because I liked him a lot, and usually that means they will be awful (Smoak).

He was a former Missouri Point Guard and I don't know that he's been in the NBA very much. So yes, camp body.

2015-2016 NFL Thread
QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Oct 1, 2015 -> 09:25 AM) Aaron Rodgers had a delivery hitch in his motion that is prominent with Tedford guys. Green Bay completely reworked his throwing mechanics on top of Rodgers' insane work ethic and need to be the best ever. Had Rodgers gone somewhere else, he may not be what he is today. I agree with this. I also think the whole sitting behind a QB for two years is some sort of cure-all. I think there were some QBs who were put behind offensive lines that created bad habits right away (David Carr). But I think for the most part I doubt that Geno Smith, Blaine Gabbert, RGIII etc would have been great if they just didn't play for 2 years.

Farmer and DJ back in 2016
DJ does an excellent job breaking down at bats when an important one is up. I have no doubt that if DJ were broadcasting for another team people would be praising him as an announcer.

Not stopping at a stop sign? Really police?
I don't mind this. I'd be mad if it happened to me, but people roll through neighborhood stop signs often, and get used to not having to stop. When there actually are people coming up to the stop they just roll through trying to beat them (and saving an extra 4 seconds on their life) rather than stopping and letting people go through. I also think about these threads when I hear about how considerate and amazing at following the law cars are and how terrible bicyclists are for the world.

Love listening to them. Glad they're back.

Thompson catch last night
The only freaking player I can think that we thought was going to be a perfect fit to add power at the cell and did was Jim Thome.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 02:13 PM) Interesting, especially given how much DJ and Farmer seem to hate Eaton's defense this year. I know I've said it a few times, but it wouldn't shock me at all if Eaton is dealt this offseason. That would shock me a lot.

Race To The Finish
QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 01:05 PM) Eaton's power has to be one of the most surprising aspects of the Sox season. Yes. Honestly to look at a positive that is great and makes him much more attractive as a long term fit. He's not Juan Pierre out there.

Thompson catch last night
Wellp, I remembered this as 121 mph from some tweet but guess it was 10mph less: There was a week where trayce thompson was mentioned in top five of exit velocity but it must have been a small sample.

Thompson catch last night
TT also hits the ball very hard. His BABIP may not be this high forever, but he has to have the highest exit velocity off his bat of anyone beside maybe Abreu.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 10:57 AM) He hasn't shown the smarts / ability to improve. That is a huge red flag for me. I want a QB who has the tools and consistently gets better. Far more likely they can project forward since they've shown an ability to develop and improve already (vs. get worse / stagnate...that reaks of someone who purely gets by on ability and nothing more). I do realize their are other factors, such as talent, that could force you to not be as good, but I want a guy who is a heady football player. Cook and Goff appear to be that guy with Cook being the guy whose done it in a more pro-style attack and who has shown terrific accuracy at times. He gets a little wild outside of the pocket, but that is something that we can work out. I think this is premature, for 3 games last year he's been amazing. Through 4 games where people game planned for him less so. The rest of the year is when you'd see an adjustment. It's still very early.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 11:08 AM) I've never been Trayce's biggest fan but we're to the point where he has to be in consideration for a starting outfield spot next year, right? For me, I think if we get an actual above average player in a corner OF spot you do it, you don't hold anything warm for a less than sure thing. But, if next year is just a year to let everything develop, I think we give it to Trayce who has earned it.
