Ah yes, ‘leadership means the Constitution’ unless we're talking about denying people mail-in ballots, sabotaging public health, or cheering when red states ignored science and racked up the highest COVID mortality rates. Blue states had tighter rules and better survival. That’s called results, not authoritarianism. And about those BLM protests: people marched for racial justice, often masked, outside. Meanwhile, MAGA was throwing tantrums indoors at Costco over wearing a mask. You want to talk about Easter 2020? Trump floated ‘opening by Easter’ while bodies were still piling up in NYC. That wasn’t leadership that was magical thinking. And as for your ‘Chinese ballots’ fever dream? Maybe sit this one out until you’ve got receipts and not talking points.

He asked him to commit full time to basketball. Coleman picked football. That was the point. Izzo saw the talent and had Coleman make the choice to concentrate on football or basketball. Mo Allie Cox played basketball at VCU not football. UDFA without football experience.

There is no reason, thats not financial, that would incentivize the team to do this. Are they re-selling the tickets for more themselves LOL? Or partnering with stubhub to pass it off to them, where they'll mark it up and kick the Jets a percentage of the overage LOL Slimy feline behavior lol

Canadians, unlike the MAGA crowd, still believe in facts, decency, and basic humanity - wild, I know. And the irony? As if there aren’t LGBTQ people or family members within MAGA households who are struggling or even suicidal. But hey, keep pretending cruelty is strength.

Agreed Mr WEO, but I only live an hour from Dublin, so I very familiar with the place. I do treasure my 1pm Sunday kickoffs (6pm for me) and we don't have too many this year. But hopefully I'll get to watch it with a pint of Guinness somewhere after the Steelers game. Albeit i might miss the first quarter.

I’d prefer if you could buy just a ONE team package. I couldn’t care less who the Seahawks are playing.

Moe Alie-Cox is one. Specialization is player choice nowadays. It's pretty simple--if Izzo thought he could use Coleman, he would have developed him and encouraged him.

Yeah you still don’t get it. Those guys who are riding the bench aren’t good enough relative to their NBA peers, but they’re much more skilled basketball players than Moss ever was. Could Moss have focused on basketball and reinvented his game to be a perimeter player? There’s nothing that suggests he couldn’t have - other than his admission to being discouraged playing amongst legit high school basketball players - but Moss at his skill level coming out of high school wasn’t a future NBA prospect. You know this.

I find it interesting that neither Reggie McKenzie or Joe D are on the all time O Line roster.

Then we can have another congressional hearing where Sosa can't speak english and they ask for signatures

Purely marketing. First two sport athlete in the NFL and NASCAR. Pops Sanders is a genius!

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
