In NOLA you have to take that beat or some form of Nissan is going run the red and t-bone you.

I just want traffic lights enforced.
Just watched the game. A lot of positives. Palestra looked lively.
That's playing basketball while also trying to make sure your weave doesn't fall out.
Read an article on this a while ago. If I recall, he wasn’t suspended. He received notice that he was under investigation. Either way, he engaged in unprofessional conduct and was subject to professional discipline.


Looks like Righteous Gemstones to me.
They must be counting on Colwill being back to full strength at CB.

Where does that leave Neto? He was the most consistent wing last year.
I was hoping he’d do something positive in the final that would make him more attractive to buy. So much for that…
Sure. But, I accept all unsupported, vague statements from twitter bots at face value.
I was hoping that a Garnacho sale would be the first news in this thread.

Anyway....in.
The family is more than complicit. They blame the friends for allowing the young man to make his own decision.

Here's the quote from dad to CBS. There are more succinct ways to express that they believe society is responsible for them, not vice-versa, but not many:

quote:

"No, he wouldn't. Nolan always stays with the group," Elmore Wonsley, Nolan's father, told "CBS Mornings." "If you be with me, you come back with me. So that I don't understand, and with me being a parent, if I was in that situation, I would have told them, 'You're going to get back on this boat with me because I don't want to answer to your parents if something happens to you.'"


That is the only way to rationalize it being the friends' fault rather than just a sad situation. He was responsible for himself. He made a decision that wasn't bad in the moment, but led to a bad consequence.

CBS artice quoting parents
This is objectively true, but it is hard to be positive on that team. It would be one thing if they lost in a competitive match that just didn't go their way. Then we'd be saying, this is about as good as this team could be. However, they were dominated. The most talented group with the highest profile coach were just outclassed.
Here. A season long thread will start when there is something positive to discuss. Then the complaining will start again.
I hate replay, especially slow motion that distorts the play on the field, but I think it works well for offside. Linesman are instructed to keep their flags down on marginal calls (perhaps allowing goals that would have been erased before). Replay is only used for offside when there is a goal scored. So, while it is a marginal call, replay is only used on outcome effecting plays.
I agree. The German player is facing the goalie and runs to the him as the ball is going away from the goalie and way overhead. Why was the German player running in that direction if not to impede the goalie from coming back across the goal with the ball?

I get that people don't like the goalie selling the foul and that he could have made the stop if he didn't go to ground, but I think it is the right call.
You’re right. The better analogy is false start (offense) and off sides (defense).

Should the WR (or DT) have to be all the way across the line of scrimmage before the ball is snapped for it to be a false start?
Sure. But when you add another clause to the rule you get more subjectivity and longer reviews.

Americans, who claim to love freedom and less regulation, crave it for some reason in their sports.

What I like about soccer is that the rules can be fit on a single sheet of paper.

Then play good defense and don’t rely on your opponents toe being slightly behind you


Having a tight line and setting offside traps is part of the game. Often the call is made because a player is crossing the defensive line at a full sprint. So, although only a small part of the offensive player’s body is offside at the split second, the call can be the difference between an easy break and an over cooked pass. As a Chelsea supporter I know this all too well.

As long as the rule is objective, leave it alone.

The hockey analogy is inept because it is a much more crowded playing surface.
