Yep, the IOC's corruption knows no bounds but just asinine to have the Olympics somewhere that doesn't have snow that also has the human rights issues that China has. Politics should not make its way into the sports themselves but it absolutely should matter as to where the Olympics are held. But at least Eileen Gu could be like all the American corporations that sell their soul to China for money so she can be used for propaganda there. Also still utterly ridiculous that the IOC is so corrupt and cowardly that Russia never received a real penalty for mass doping in 2014. I was glad to see Lindsey Jacobellis finally get redemption for her showboating mistake in 2006 and get her Olympic gold.

No he didn’t. His recruiting was horrible other than his 2017 class.

That’s different than being surpassed though and I think the US federation hiring a shitty manager based solely on nepotism is contributing to the mediocre results despite there being the most talent the US has ever had.

Eh, the USA has way more talent than Canada and is producing a ton of guys getting signed by teams in Europe’s top leagues right now.

This taunting rule needs to go away. Laughable call against Suh leads to a TD for the Rams. So dumb

Ugh, no thanks. Really have no use for another “offensive” mind who isn’t good at actually putting a good offense on the field.

They were in shotgun formation. They were going to run a play to try to get the first down.

It is also pointless to discuss personnel until Nagy and Pace are gone and you have someone new coming in. Not much to discuss about this team, the personnel isn’t good and the coaching is bad. Fields has mostly looked awful but can’t draw any conclusions since we have 4 years of data that shows Nagy is a shit offensive coach. Basically take out the first 8 or 9 games of year 1 and from the moment teams scouted what he was doing and made adjustments the Bears have been trash on offense unless they are facing a defense without a pulse.

Horrible win. Was really hoping the Lions were going to win and finish this charade. Dan Campbell is predictably a fucking joke.

It can work but I don’t think Fitzgerald is special and he isn’t an offensive guy.

The Rams have won because they have true impact players. If Quinn and Mack and Hicks are gone the Bears have one on defense and they have young olinemen but none have shown they are particularly good yet. Kmet is extremely mediocre and while Montgomery and Herbert are good, major meh there since they aren't impact players and RBs are incredibly fungible. Fields would need to be a legit star for them to be a contender. He has played one good game so let's see if he can even move up into the good or solid category before we talk about the Bears being a contender with the rest of this roster being mediocre at best going forward.

What a total piece of shit.

It was working out great until Robert’s used him on 2 days rest to close out the NLDS.

You mean using a guy you plan on starting in 3 days in game 2 of a series with a 2 run lead when you have a great bullpen isn’t a good move?

The Dodgers are actually incredibly well run. They spend but the vast majority of their players are home grown (Buehler, Urias, Seager, Will Smith, etc) or guys that they got off the scrap heap and did an awesome job developing (Justin Turner and Max Muncy). The other big names they got through trades by building a strong farm system and yes, that is where money was helpful to bring on Betts and Price salary but the only relatively big free agent in their lineup is Pollock.

The better answer is to get rid of divisions. The Dodgers were the best team in baseball and won 106 games. They are more deserving of a playoff spot and championship than a team that wins 88 games but won their division. The 2006 Cardinals got in because of winning a garbage division, ever weren’t a wild card.

Not really. There weren’t any close pitches he didn’t get. The one he wanted was way inside.

Gurriel thankfully continues to have dreadful at bats this series.

Hopefully Rodon’s arm doesn’t fall off. He looks great

Yeah, that one wasn’t even close

Thanks for the insurance runs Dusty. Raley blows

Lol. He shouldn’t have even been in the game. He has labored through 3 consecutive innings and was lucky to not have more damage done against him by that point. Good managers have short hooks in the playoffs.

The real problem is shifting him to RF for no fucking reason.

And the horrible decision to pinch hit Hernandez ends the game

Correa bailed Crochet out there swinging 1-0 and 1-1 at pitches out of zone. Huge
