Fair enough--not a starter, but could ride the bench for the Jazz or the Pelicans. The examples I gave show this. Supreme athlete who could play--there's a lot of guys down the bench in the NBA who never play simply because they aren't good enough. They are there to mop up in garbage time and run in practice. No teams are asking any of them to break guys down off the dribble, splash 3's or run the point. You know this.

I can go on about this subject... I do think the recent rules are an improvement: Clock, ghost runner (regular season only), bigger bases, Minimum batters for reliever, limiting pickoff moves, etc. I do like pitchers hitting, but I understand why that has been legislated out. I also wish we could go back to locked-in starting rotations with pitchers who regularly finish games, but I get the evolution. I HATE steroid ball. I stopped paying attention throughout the steroid era. I would much rather watch a crisp 2:40 game that ends in a 3-2 score. I think there is plenty of star-power in MLB without the roids (or at least detected): Ohtani, Tatis, Guerrero, Judge, Betts, Soto, Acuna, De La Cruz, etc. To me, baseball has cut off its legs a bit. All MiLB have capitulated into a purely developmental/scrimmage leagues. Furthermore, MLB has culled dozens of professional baseball teams out of communities across the United States. I think that is a big, long-term mistake. People across the country become baseball fans watching their local team compete. I remember "big" Bisons games and some intense moments, including huge brawls. Now, it looks like the players are practicing and don't want to be there. I used to be able to travel short distances with my dad and attend professional baseball games in Welland, Niagara Falls, St Catharines, Jamestown, Elmira, Batavia, and Geneva. Each ballp[ark had their regulars and actually decent crowds consuming baseball. All wiped out. I believe the economics of baseball are also getting to a breaking point. There has always been a history of the Cardinals and Yankees of the world spending, and the A's, Senators, Phillies (long ago), White Sox) developing and selling/losing players to the big spenders. But with a society who struggles with attention spans, you have like 75% of the markets who cannot retain their biggest stars into their prime. This is not good, and will be poison to future nostalgia for fans in many regions. IMO, the greatest thing that can happen, (I realize many things would need to be reset in the way of finances, contracts, CBA, etc), would be a full-on, 4 to 6 tier Promotion/Relegation system. Restore competitive baseball that means something to all corners of North America. Force teams to compete or be relegated. Allow a wealthy mogul in a market like Charlotte, Nashville, Indianapolis, or even Buffalo to make a splash and try to build to be promoted to the highest level.

That's how I felt about Jay Riemersma. He didn't have as long of a career as Metzelaars did, but he came on right as I was getting old enough to understand more of the game, and he seemed like he caught EVERYTHING. Years later, I looked up his stats & was shocked how "normal" they looked. In my young mind, he must've been a monster that averaged 800+ receiving yards each year, yet he only topped 500 yards once 😅

How about the Jets' exhibition game against the Crimson Tide? That's non-negotiable! (Take Alabama +3)

That’s would be a call center worth working in. I’d be laughing my ass off all day.

RIP, Luigi.

so modest lol you know I tell the truth as I see it 😄 I think Mikie would be a great fit in the shout box. He's smart and mouthy LOL

That was the peanut farmer's term.

He's always feasted on bad defenses statistically speaking (he's not alone here, almost every player does). Last season alone in 4 games against - CINx2, Tampa, and NYG: 89/122 for 1209 yards 18 TDs and no interceptions. Another stat - they were 3-5 in the regular season when he throws the ball more than 30x - 3 wins against cleveland, cincy, and cincy - 5 losses to KC, Cleveland, Philly, Vegas, and Pittsburgh. You won't see many of those types of teams in the playoffs. I thought he mostly played pretty well last year to kinda kill the narrative that he can't perform in the playoffs.

Taking a page from the Jests, turn in each training camp admission pass to One Bills Drive, in exchange for a 2025-26 Sabres season ticket.

Lets get a hotline just for TDS sufferers!

My derisive brand of both sides bad is glaringly short on answers.

He went 101 when he was supposed to go 60? Heck wasn't that long ago he went 144 when he was supposed to go 5 at MOST

Again......I didn't assume anything....I said "I'm not sure if"......do you know the meaning of the word assume?? It seems like you are just looking to argue for the sake of arguing.... if you don't agree with me, you are entitled to your own opinion. If you want to think a guy who scored a 13 out of 50 on his Wonderlic test score (Josh Allen scored a 37 out of 50) is a smart guy...than that's your right.....my end of this argument has come to a conclusion. Have a wonderful aftetnoon!!

Not a single list had Reuben Brown, 9 time Pro-Bowler and 4 time 2nd team All-Pro...He was a dominating guard during the transition period from Kelly to everyone else.

Do you know what makes “transgender” kids consider offing themselves by a factor of 12-13x? Surgeries that permanently change their bodies. Surgeries that sick bastards like you advocate for. Hopefully a regular suicide hotline is adequate for these young people suffering from mental illness. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11063965/ Individuals who underwent gender-affirming surgery had a 12.12-fold higher suicide attempt risk than those who did not Any issues you have with this published data should be directed to the NIH.

100% agree. In someone's list even Tua could be a top 10 QB

Who?

I DON’T KNOW, I CAN IMAGINE QUITE A BIT: Democratic Party Disarray Far Worse Than You Can Imagine. The Democratic Party is struggling. In every way a political party can be dysfunctional, the Democrats are careening toward an implosion. Riven by poisonous factionalism, running out of cash, and devoid of purpose and plan, the oldest political party in the Western World is falling apart right before our eyes. How bad is it? When the New York Times gives space to a 1,800-word, five-alarm article giving excruciating detail about your party's travails, you know it's not time to pop the champagne cork and celebrate. To make matters worse for the Democrats, on the same day the Times aired the party's soiled panties for all to see, the other Democratic Party house organ, Politico, laid 1,600 words of criticism on party chairman Ken Martin. The media couldn't be quiet about it. With 17 months to go before the 2026 midterm elections, the Democrats find themselves in an existential crisis. Half the party wants to abandon the radical left, while the radical left wants to give the heave-ho to anyone to the right of Karl Marx. Let's start with Ken Martin as a point of contention. Barely four months into the job, he's already made plenty of enemies. Worse, those enemies aren't going quietly into that good night. They are sniping at him from the sidelines, drawing blood with criticisms no party chair has ever heard before.

I think it’s beneficial to have specialized support, such as what we do for the US Veterans Crisis Line. I see zero benefit to ending the LGTBQ+ suicide line except to cause harm, which is the main mantra of the MAGA ideology.

Hahahahahahaha suddenly California cares about costs

The suicide hotlines should now be broken down by demographics? We have 988 which is for everyone, and I hope that anyone who is suicidal should get help. I also would recommend discussing with Trans people that they are what they were born as and that they can be a masculine women or a feminine women without diminishing that they are fully human.

You lose. Thanks for wasting our tax dollars on this.

Okay, so they ARE getting rid of the LGBTQ+ Suicide Hotline. Got it. This doesn’t make transgender kids go away, by the way. It just makes them more likely to off themselves.
