re: Why the hell would anyone want to go to the NFL draft?
Posted by Atari on 4/27/24 at 10:45 pm
My aunt and uncle are retired season ticket holders to the Texans and have been for like 15 years or so. They're semi-friendly with Cal McNair, have sat in his personal box a few times for games. They got an offer (not directly from ownership) for free tickets to the draft, and would be given free t...
re: Worst pick you remember you're team making?
Posted by Atari on 4/27/24 at 7:41 pm
Edit: Talking about the Texans.
Not sure if you mean worst at the time of the pick or worst looking back at it.
I hated taking Mario Williams over Reggie Bush or Vince Young. Looking back at it, it's not a bad pick.
At the time I was excited for Amobi Okoye (1st round, 10th pick), but lo...

I'm very much of the opinion that if he hadn't died on the Autobahn he was going to be a major star. The last year he played it looked like he had figured out the NBA game and was taking the next step. To me it'll always be one of the NBA's biggest "what if" questio...

I'd LOVE to see Marino with the current offense rules and modern WRs. He was so far ahead of the game, coaches didn't try to emulate they knew their QB could never. ...
re: Is Guardians the worst nickname in American pro sports?

Fan of the team but nobody will ever convince me that the Houston Texans isn't the dumbest name in sports. I hate it, it's an awful name it makes me reluctant to wear merch....
re: What can the NBA do to make the game better
Posted by Atari on 2/11/24 at 1:19 am
To me they HAVE to change the last 5 minutes of gametime. Maybe all fouls are freethrows AND posession. I have no desire to watch a full game and then 30 minutes of freethrows. ...
re: NFL Various Games - Wildcard Weekend
Posted by Atari on 1/14/24 at 4:54 pm
In for the annual Dallas playoff melt. It's close to the joy of watching the Texans win yesterday but with the added benefit of making my jackass coworker miserable. I really am looking forward to work tomorrow now. ...
re: New York Post - NFL paywalled playoff game is best left to the suckers

Can tell ya I'll be sailing the seas to watch it. I already pay for Netflix, Prime, Max, Disney+, and cruncyroll. I'm looking to cut 2 or 3 of those (don't think family will allow it), not add to my monthly bills. ...
re: Is Harbaugh staying put in Michigan?
Posted by Atari on 1/11/24 at 10:27 pm
Kind of feel like he's doing Michigan a solid by delaying and making sure current students are enrolled in classes. Which makes transferring more of a headache. Will it stop the bluechips who aren't going to school for an education? Nah. But it might keep a few fringe players there that would otherw...

Vegas isn't gonna give you odds on coaching changes because they can't properly handicap it. ...
re: Kalen DeBoer, best CFB coach right now?
Posted by Atari on 1/11/24 at 9:23 pm
I think he's a very good coach, but I'll need to see him do it at the p5 level after dealing with a QB change. He did it this year with a lefty 6th year QB. Maybe in the new form of college football you can always count on a transfer QB coming in to save your team. But I'll need to see him navigate ...
re: It’s time to come home Jim
Posted by Atari on 1/9/24 at 8:16 pm
If i thought I had what it took to turn around a franchise, I'd rather win in Chicago than in San Diego.
If I'm looking to coast and just 1/2 arse a job and still maybe win regardless I'm going to San Diego.
Granted I've never lived on the west coast, but I've lived in New York, Chicago, Dall...
re: What % chance do the Steelers have against Buffalo?
Posted by Atari on 1/7/24 at 11:08 pm
I'd say probably 25% chance. There's always a crap shoot element to NFL games where things can just break right/wrong. If TJ were to play I might bump it up to 30-35% just on the chance he took over the game. ...
re: Does anyone seriously believe that there are 12 legitimate contenders in any given season?
Posted by Atari on 12/30/23 at 6:57 pm
I really thought they should have gone to 8. Is 8 to many? Yeah I think it is, but you'd get 4 auto-bids from the 4 conference champions and then the 4 highest ranked after that
Also losing a 3rd game should disqualify you, should NEVER be a 3 loss team in the playoff. I don't care what your argu...

You can watch the board meeting if you want. I don't know the levels of your degeneracy when it comes to football news, I didn't watch it, just let reporters watch and tell me later what was said.

Not SEC but I legit think I might would rather have UNC over poor lil' Clemson, for multiple reasons but mostly I want a more compelling basketball conference. The SEC already has a South Carolina team, take the opportunity to expand into an area without a presence. Also they aren't a fourth Tigers ...
re: Yankees announcer says he ate an egg for first time in his life, will never have it again
Posted by Atari on 12/12/23 at 8:58 pm
Growing up my parents told me I was allergic to eggs, to my knowledge I never ate one so I'm not sure why they said that. Maybe a test they give babies? Anyway I'm not, either grew out of it or never was not sure. But never really acquired a taste for eggs. I'll can eat them in fried rice, or other ...
