You can bitcoin now. I get paid the next day. Also, the legalized sports betting is about 45 minutes away in Mississippi so I ride up there some.

They will likely have 2 WR go in round 1 this year. FWIW, Draft Diamonds (I know, I know) has 3 Ole Miss pass catchers going in round 1: https://www.nfldraftdiamonds.com/2018/10/2019-mock-draft/

Ole Miss

I’m not denying that but there are so many more that will hide behind the screen. They are all idiots.

I just read those comments and OMG. Racists love to hide behind the keyboard.

We aren’t going to agree here. Severino is the most dominant starter that the Yanks have. He has days where he is bad and you know it immediately. He’s the one guy (starter that is) on the Yanks that can shut down an elite offense. Tanaka can be dominant also but can be bad. He’s way better at home. Happ is just a really solid starter that you can feel comfortable with in any situation. Severino though is your best chance at winning a 1-0 type of game vs. someone like Verlander.

Wish that I would have jumped in early as this is a great middle opportunity. You don’t often see NFL spreads move 3-3.5 points in a week.

Thanks I may be bullish on this because this was the first game that I thought they’d win. I just don’t think that this Titans team is nearly as good as their record. I think that the Bills come out and play a good game.

I like the Bills money line this weekend. I got them at +210. The game is up to 5.5 on Bovada.

Is this my dad? This is a conversation that we always have. The Yanks certainly don’t view him that way. That’s why they handed him the ball in a win or go home scenario. FWIW, I thought that they should have started Happ and my dad and brother wanted Tanaka. Good Severino though is a better than both.

He’s never going back to the bullpen. He hits 100 still 100 pitches in. He may never be the number 1 but he may never be lower than a 2. His ERA this year was 3.39 and he struck out 220 guys. His ability TO pitch so many innings is why he’s forever a starter. He has 63 starts over the last 2 years which is right near the top of the league. He was 21st in innings pitched this year and 17th in innings pitched last year. He’s a horse.

That’s the point. The league was at an all-time low. Magic and Bird started to turn it and then Jordan and Stern raised it. Then we went through Shaq/Kobe to LeBron vs. the Warriors. The ascent of the NBA from the Braves years to now is unparalleled. The product has never been better or more desired than it is right now. I’m not sure that today’s game is a fit in the rust belt. The Cavs (because of LeBron) became an anomaly (and he is from there). The lunch pail crowd isn’t a good fit with the most famous athletes in the world. Buffalo would support them because we are great sports fans. At the same time the game works much better in the Bay Area, NY, Miami, and LA.

I don’t really think that the Braves year’s are that relevant to this conversation. NBA Finals games were on tape delay at that time!! Now they average 20M viewers a night in the US alone!! It’s a totally different league.

He’s exactly that guy!! While I agree it was time to make the move, Severino is a horse. He keeps his velocity late in the game and gets better as games go along. His issue is that he starts off slowly when he’s bad: That game was over before the Yanks came to bat because good Severino was there. 66% of his starts went until AT LEAST 2 outs in the 6th. That’s a ton in today’s game.

Kelvin Benjamin couldn’t separate from Larry King!!

Is this the time to chime in to say that Josh Gordon isn’t a process guy??

FWIW, I’m not talking about converting him to a WR. I’m saying, 10 or so snaps a game split him out if it helps. Motion him out of the backfield and maybe you can isolate him on an LB? These other teams are doing it.

Potentially getting different match-up. They are struggling right now to get him touches. Maybe this will help? It certainly won’t make it worse. He’s the best pass catcher on the team (as sad as that sounds).

You need to add New England to that list.

I just don’t understand why anyone is against creative ways to get him touches? I don’t think dive plays behind this OL is the ideal way to do it. You can do some of that but you have to take a page from how the other top backs are used. Move him around and create mismatches.

Not necessarily if that’s what it takes. Teams ALWAYS split out RBs. Running backs got 574 targets lined up in the slot or wide last season. If Bell, Kamara, and Gurley are doing it why shouldn’t Shady? Get the ball in his hands 25 times a game and get him in space. This could absolutely be a way to get him out in the open.

This is where I’m at (specifically Bosa and Oliver at this point). We will also pick early in the 2nd and 3rd and have multiple 4ths & 5ths. They can EASILY pick 4 guys before the end of day 2 even without trading down. They could start with something like: - Bosa - Deebo Samuel - Michael Dieter - Isaiah Prince That is maybe a touch optimistic on the guys but you get the point. You add a starting WR, 2 starting OL and potentially a star pass rusher. I much prefer that. You need some difference makers.
