    When I hear things like that I always think back to the old days at the Aud when the announcer would say literally everything in the most monotone voice you could imagine.

     

    His name was Milt Ellis and he was freaking awesome.

  2. ...go to the next home game and have fun.

     

    I'm with Sal on this.  The only people criticizing the fans who left early are fans who didn't even go in the first place.

     

    It's tough ask to stay up late in OP on a Sunday night.  I couldn't even handle it in my bedroom in North Buffalo.  I shut it down at 40-25 and turned over.  Woke up to a very nice surprise this morning.

    Beat me to it! My first reaction when I saw Lamar. Then I thought of this one from the 90s too:

     

    The key difference being that cantona was 100% wrong here because no one touched him.

    In redraft leagues I liked being toward the end in snake draft. As the ability to get two top 15 talents to me gives you a better chance to be a good/great team. Toss in gives you ability to look at big picture and not necessarily follow trends and sometimes even lead trends to better serve you later when comes to getting depth players. 

    Agree.  I traded down to 6 pending commish approval.

    I for one am sad to see it end.

     

    I think most of what they put out on ESPN is unwatchable, but I have always been a loyal fan of ATH and PTI. The show definitely leaned more towards "Sports-Entertainment than Sports news, but I always enjoyed hearing the opinions of sports journalists around the country on the Sports stories of the day. I might not have agreed with all of their opinions, or liked every one of the panelists they had over the years, but it was always a fun watch, and Tony Reali really seemed to be the perfect host for this show.

     

    They actually said that Reali hosted more episodes of his show than Oprah or David Letterman hosted theirs!

     

    I wish the best of luck to Tony Reali and all the people involved with Around the Horn in their future endeavors, and thanks for 22 years of entertaining TV.

    ATH was the birth of ESPN's current model, and so it was bad for the world.  But it was a fantastic show, so it was good.

    WGR guys were talking with a UK radio guy about him yesterday; they had me convinced that he'd be a good day 3 pick.

    GOT HIM!

    DRJr has already changed the design. Clearly so as not to upset Lamar’s mom 😆. Has the sports world not had other very famous #8’s 🤷🏻‍♂️

     

    Not just the sports world, but specifically the Baltimore sports world.

    A sneak onside kick is no longer possible and those were recovered at a much higher rate than regular, expected onside kicks. I think the recovery percentage last year was somewhere around 7%. 
     

    I’m cool with a 4th down snap from the 30 replacing the onside kick, but keep it at 15 yards. I do worry about officiating influencing the play, especially a ticky tack call. 

    Could give teams the option between the kick and the fake fourth down.  There's no reason to eliminate the kick, and no reason for the NFL to limit it the way it currently is.
