The offensive line has to protect Leavitt and consistently open holes for the RBs. Everything falls into place offensively if the OL is doing its job. And, as has already been said, contain Reed.

It went behind the LOS


The LOS has no bearing on this situation. It's whether the pass travels forwards or backwards from the QBs release point. This one obviously went backwards. The NFL just made up a rule.

That was as blatant as the non PI call against the Rams


Minus the stakes, I agree with this. The PI call was at least a judgement call that someone could potentially miss, even if there was a 0.00001% chance of missing it. The call today is a straightforward football rule that has existed since the game was invented, and it was reviewed by replay. That should have a literal 0% chance of happening.

But at that point you can't play for an SEC program.


Not stopping Kentucky from playing Alex Afari Jr. Or Texas from rostering Cole Hutson.
Florida wanted Kiffin first. But he would've rathered stay at Ole Miss than end up in Gainesville.

Yep, I watched the Michigan debacle live on my phone in the south endzone.

LSU demands that any player technically violates an SEC rule without an injunction doesn't get to play and they won't play their two guys? SEC agrees.


How would it be possible to get around the TROs? The courts said they're eligible, so the teams and coaches would have to individually all agree not to play these players while also continuing to let them be on the roster and paying them. There's no way Ole Miss, for example, is going to pay Chambliss $6M to sit on the bench. This isn't a realistic possibility.

a handsome lump sum


Why would the players who already have injunctions to play agree to this?

I think he definitely touched the sand. I don't think this should be a penalty though. Couldn't tell in real time, and I really don't think that affected his shot. I don't like using slo-mo zoomed in replay to determine if something almost microscopic happened like that.

I'm in 405 row 30, and can see everyting just fine. Row 30 is the last row that isn't directly under the overhang. Should probably have an unobstructed view until row 32 or so, maybe higher.

the guys that started for UVA yesterday are not former professional athletes.


You're correct. They are current professional athletes, just like every D1 starting player will be this year.

quote:

In before the BS argument that they had no choice because of the timing of the rules.


Why is the argument BS? The timing meant they were told they had no remaining eligibility, so they had to decide to enter the NFL draft if they wanted to continue to play. Then the NCAA changed the rule after the deadline to enter the draft. The answer to their argument might end up being "tough cookie, life isn't fair," but that doesn't make their argument BS.

She jumped out of the window and made herself a paraplegic. No idea if she was actually psychotic during all of this, just reiterating facts.

It will. Even if found not criminally responsible, she'll go to a mental institution. She's not going to be free.

No, it was a backstory during season 1.
Probably won't materialize, but the GFS says we're getting a cold front next week...

He could almost quit hitting, and his CF defense alone would make that contract worthwhile.

These are both downtown, over 5 miles away from Wrigley. Unless there are other properties with this name that I'm not seeing.

They couldn’t deplete their farm system for 2 months if Skubal. They’d be in a hole for years.


Pushing their chips in and going for it is the only way they'll win a world series. Ask their fans if they'd rather 1 championship then a few down years afterwards or a top 3 regular season team that gets bounced in the playoffs every year. Neither is guaranteed obviously, but Skubal on this Brewers team gives them a great shot.

Also, the Brewers farm system might be better than the Dodgers, so the idea that trading 2-3 of their prospects "depletes" them and puts them back years probably isn't true.

Tampa or Milwaukee need their farm systems and couldn’t make this deal.


They could have made this equivalent deal, but the Dodgers would have just increased the offer to make sure they got him. And they know they'll resign him, so it's all worth it. I am pissed the Brewers and/or Rays didn't make the Dodgers pay a steeper price though.
Brewers should go all in for Skubal. Having Skubal and Miz for 4 games in the NLCS is the only way they're beating the Dodgers. But the Dodgers know this, and can just beat out the Brewers knowing they're going to have to change the make up of their team after the lockout anyway; so they might as well go all in for the 3 peat. Brewers won't give up more prospects than the Dodgers would be willing to.
