Mr. WEO

other goofball quotes by Ocho: "Last night, I felt like I wished I wasn't Chad Johnson. Last night, I felt like I wished I wasn't good. I had to keep from crying on the sideline because I wishedI wasn't that good because I wouldn't be getting the attention I'm getting. I just want to catch the ball, that's it." "Man, they've got a better chance at finding Osama than stopping me tonight. I don't mean to be rude... " and of course: "I am the best receiver in the NFL." it's safe to dismiss his WR opinions...

owners gonna own....

if 3 years is now "a minute" then you're right again doc!

He need to pullout of the Sabres. Been screwing their fans since day 1

Stay on script!! As a team, NE regularly shut out Revis. The Bills, as a team, he shut down more than any other in the league he played against.

gotta be tough sitting on $270 million and when in your backyard, you can only throw left handed. You can just chop off my arm for 100 million. But yes, shoulder replacement should fix him up nicely.

Over a West Ham v. Wolverton match?

let's put you down for 1 jersey! Have you watched a Super Bowl in the last 32 years?

all the Bills "J's" are now part of my suppressed memory...

is it because professional soccer is so popular in the US?

Johnson had 3 solid years in the middle of an otherwise unremarkable career. Fell off a very steep cliff after 2012. Even in those 3 years his catch % was only 56. Definitely TBD myth making here...

on the Chiefs he did have 172 and 150 yards two playoff games.

So Josh Allen is the best QB? phew, lol. I appreciate the work done here. Josh had a better O-line play this year, but as far as "sack discipline"--he was far and away the best at avoiding sacks--mainly because of his legs and savvy. His sack% is a half of Mahomes's and about 1/3 of Burrows. Mahomes is an elite scrambler though. Burrow, not as much. Jaden Daniels will be a superstar. Caleb Williams isn't long for this league. He will be in the Justin Fields pipeline to journeyman soon. The Bears draft Fields, after his rookie season the Bears ownership dumps the GM. Hire Poles. Picks Williams. Commanders ownership dumps GM and hire Peters. He takes Daniels. Which team had 100 year old owner? lol. imagine being a Bears fan. No better than Cleveland. "Slaughterhouse of Dreams"...

he could be in HOF: 2nd team. lol. Basketball HOF is open admission at this point.

My son and I were at that nut punch game. So stupid. I would have tried to trade his selfish azz after that. Would have won the Finals they won without him. Kerr was as integral to the Bulls dynasty. One of the best 3 point shooters of his day. 6th MOTY twice. Championship winning shot '97. Played all 82 games 4 of 5 seasons with the Bulls. 3 rings. He's not getting in.

I respect your opinion. But given the low success rate of the 3 pointer (38% of shots taken this season by all teams were 3's and only 36% of those were successful) these guys don't defend the arc like you think--why would they? With the way guys kick out and get cheap 3 free throws or 4 point plays...why would they. Sure the might guard the best 3 point shooters, but in the history of the 3 point shot, only 5 players have shot over .500. There's a bunch of guys with over 400 attempts who have made less 1/3 of them. Why step up on them? Fair better value play is get in the lane for the defensive rebound. And this is what you see--as I showed above, offensive rebounds are up and defensive rebs up. This is all easily seen watching the game. The 3 point shot has relaxed, not increased defensive requirements. Indy could have simply watched the Thunder chuck up another 30 3's and still won, given how badly they were missing. Alos, Free Throw attempts have dropped by almost 27% since the mid 80's----it's not the refs are "just letting them play", it's that there's much less tough D in the paint. Guy drive to the hoop unmolested. I understand everyone wants to draw a straight line from "kids play more, training is better", etc. to "the league has more talent top to bottom today". But the data (and observation) don't support this conclusion.

feelings…

My point that in Kerr's era, Green doesn't get in. The bar is lower. Green played on a dynasty, that's the most powerful item on his CV. Solid defender. But the Warriors win all those rings with a lesser defender in his spot. As for a facilitator, if he had his 5.6 assists, 2.3 TOs, and 8.9 points on the Knicks, Pelicans, Jazz, etc, he's not a HOFer. If almost 40% of the shots your opponent is taking are 3's, there's really not much defense to be played. OKC was trounced in game 6 not because of a suffocating Indy Defense. It's because they made 27% of their 30 3 pointers. That 91 points despite 30 3 point shots. Unwatchable--how can you conclude you are watching a much higher skill level?? Teams take twice as many 3 pointer than they did even 17-18 years ago--but they are no better at it. Transition game is cross half court, pull up and launch a 3. So Offensive rebounds are down. There's not the post up inside game anymore, and if guys drive to the basket, then offense do so with impunity as there is little physical enforcement in the lane--fouls called are down 35% from the Celts/Lakers heyday (yet the flops and whining for calls are at an all time high). All this science and training and youth game playing...and you still have a 5 team division without a winning record. An higher overall skill level of player distributed around the league with mostly similar budgets, this should not happen. 5 teams with less than 25 wins. In 1985, there was 1. 1995 there were 4. Given an overall significant increase in size, speed and skill, shouldn't the wins be more evenly distributed, i.e. fewer awful teams? All boats lifted?

now it's time to invest in carwashes, a branded BBQ sauce and a restaurant named after himself!

Putting Green in the HOF would be like putting Steve Kerr in as a player. Name the 6 HOFers playing Sunday night. The game has changed to where it's almost unrecognizable. No defense. Incessant flopping and begging. Fundamentals are gone---traveling and carries are allowed parts of the game now. Worst of all, the 3 point play is the basis of every offense. 20 years ago, 17% of teams shots were 3's. Now every team is over 30%--the average 34%! And they aren't better at it. This was perfectly displayed in Game 1 of the Knicks/Celtics game. Celts took 60 3's.....and hit 15 of them. It's unwatchable. I do like the special treat you left: using "AI" to make your point. That info is culled from dudes posting stuff on Reddit. lol.

Most of today's legit future HOFers, other than Curry, are transients. They hop from "superteam" to another, as the league moved (at the bests players demand) to migrating All-Star teams. Durant hasn't won a championship since he left GS--6 years ago . Klay Thompson a HOFer? He's missed a lot of basketball for half of his career. Draymond Green a HOFer? He can't score. He's dirty. Decent defender. 13 years ago, the Thunder couldn't win a championship with Durant, Harden and Westbrook. Not once. Now the Thunder can win it with pretty much 1 guy against a team that has pretty much 1 guy. this is true. lots of players take a bunch of gamers off. most starters played 80+ games back in the day....without the league reprimanding them or their coaches.

Top players probably as good. top to bottom on the roster, I disagree. The 2 big stars in the Finals are Halleburton and SG-A. The league is never again going to see 2 teams facing off for the championship with a combined 6 HOFers (Celtics/Lakers) on the court or 4 on the same team at once (mid 90's Bulls).

I would love to see Notre Dame play the Browns in Dublin!

huh? no. I'm calling him a good guy for telling Coleman D1 basketball isn't for him after all...he did the kid a huge favor in recruiting him and then letting him go. You keep saying I'm not giving "NBA players" for being good. Most of them are. Others simply aren't that good--but since teams don't (and probably can't ) scout every single player in the country, they instead focus on power 5 1 and done kids. So it's impossible to conclude that these teams eliminated every possible option. So they end up with guys like Springer, who would likely get destroyed 1 on 1 against as kid like Cotton in the day. As for Manuel, the obvious reply is the they didn't have to pick ANY QB that year, given the slim pickings (Wilson and Cousins were easily available the year before). Yet they settled on a guy who would predictably flame out soon (partly because country bumpkin GM thought Wilson was "too short"). But you would argue that EJ was better than any other college QB available anywhere.... simply because he was drafted. Makes no sense.

Dodge TRX?? lol wtf.
