Greatest quote of all-time.

If you look at their careers, midseason 1954 is probably the exact last time that's a defensible argument.

How bad are the Packers if they don't have Rodgers?

Bad enough that a drunken Cheesehead would figure out time travel and use it to fire McCarthy three years ago.

He thinks people write checks to pay for groceries. And look, the media has already forgotten his embarrassing shitshow in France. The problem is, how do you adequately cover this shitshow of a Presidency? If you continue talking about yesterday's scandal, you miss today's. You can't ignore his bla...

Dan Gilbert just sold his casino in downtown Detroit for $1B, presumably (according to speculation) to raise money to buy the Tigers. Was their any mention about him possibly buying Fox Sports Detroit, possibly as part of buying both the Tigers and the Red Wings? That region is tailor-made for a te...

Red Wings are hot. They've won seven of eight to rise to... 12th in the East.

At the same time, I don't think it's a stretch in any way that his thoughts on how to win games in the NFL are hopelessly out of date, no matter who is on his roster.

I am debating the merits of emailing my friend who worked at Stan Lee Media around 2000 whose management fucked him out of his pay during his time there.

I don't know what's worse: Losing to Syb or losing to him because of one of my worst drops at the beginning of the year. Thanks for letting me keep first place. And look at Sabo, charging hard to knock the Stick out of the postseason. To quote John Cougar Mellencamp "Ertz So Good!" Guess I have to ...

Wouldn't they just be better served to have Butler play the three and Simmons the four with Redick moving to the starting lineup to provide a strong shooter? Or do you mean starting Muscala with Fultz coming off the bench and Simmons as the virtual point guard? Their crunch-time lineup will probabl...

I’m almost as happy Covington is gone as I am that Butler is coming. Saric is a guy, Covington is even less. Covington deservedly made first-team All-Defense last year but man is he inconsistent offensively. Butler is a very strong perimeter defender who is also elite offensively. I forgot about Mi...

I didn't realize that.

I checked sometime within the last couple weeks and saw I had Gurley on bye then. I was about to just post that part, then checked your roster.

I picked up the Raiders' defense and sat George Kittle when it was announced Mullens would start, so it appears I have one-upped some of you. You're welcome, Sybian. You chose...poorly. Yeah, it happens. The league site still has me as a slight favorite even after the Raiders' D posted a -4, though...

I don't follow the NCAA too closely, but I sure do like seeing Bobby Petrino fail spectacularly.

Unsurprising that it comes from Orange County.

I enjoyed it. I would do it again at the drop of a hat. I really would like to serve on a federal grand jury. I did it about ten years ago. We were able to have a couple excused absences, but otherwise, it was a commitment every Tuesday(?) morning for six months. Seriously. I was excused twice for ...

Josh Gordon suspended for the first quarter tonight because of tardiness. But he has a locker next to Brady! Why didn't Brady teach him to be more P L I A B L E. Now I see why they are shopping for a 'premium' receiver. And yet, Gordon was on the field for the Pats' first offensive play, from some ...

Dammit. The Feds are coming after me!

Trial or grand jury?

Syracuse is bowl eligible before Halloween. This feels weird.

I was considering a "since..." but I don't want to look it up. First bowl in five seasons and the last time, the sixth win was secured on the last play of the regular season.

I got retweeted back yesterday from Mike Tanier from Football Outsiders and fellow South Jersey denizen, and I'm fucking giddy about it.

I've had a couple back-and-forths in the past. Mike Freeman actually followed me earlier this year after some interactions.

The answer is DSafetyGuy!

Norm McDonald also played in this game regularly for a couple years and we had a few occasional guest stars every now and then.

I don't understand how we operate in an NFL where Josh Gordon is a 5th and Amari Cooper is a 1st. I simply don't understand draft pick economy.
I think part of it is simply that Cleveland is bad at this sort of thing.

It is also possible that Jerry Jones overpaid.

after leading them to a championship Um, I think you might be misremembering the way things happened. Burlington Sportsfrogs with sancarlos = championship. Without sancarlos = not championship. The evidence is compelling! I was going to comment on your Mendoza-level hitting and below-average glove,...

Read an article in The Athletic that said maybe two players on Purdue could start for tOSU. And they won by 29. With that talent differential, that looks like a coaching issue. 1. Jeff Brohm could be a hot commodity for a bigger job. 2. Urban Meyer probably wishes he was suspended yesterday. Purdue...

Nate Peterman is so bad that people are ignoring that Derek Anderson is atrocious himself. Should be fun.

It was nice of the Chicago coach to give the field goal team a little time to settle themselves. I really enjoyed how the play calling once they got close to field goal range made it seem like kicking a 50-ish yard field goal was a chip shot. Over seven yards a play in the game and yet the Bears op...

I don't think taking public transportation will ever be part of widespread culture there. Yeah but appreciate the tax burden that it will cause as the system ages, employee slacking/corruption causing outages, and cost increases so that it is more expensive then parking I can envision LA eventually...

Interesting choice to not go to the pen with a 10-run lead for the last couple innings, having intended on going with a short rotation previously.

I know better than to have expectations, but learned the hard way again today.

Fuck fantasy football, fuck Syb, fuck Kirk Cousins and fuck Amari Cooper.

FUCK.
This bears repeating.
Oooh me next! Me next!

I guess my 42-point win came too early in the season, back when sabo had hope.

I hate the circular graphic NBC uses to show the skill position players on the field based on just the jersey number and the position of the player (during pre-snap when using the cable camera positioned behind the offense). It actually becomes even worse when a player goes in motion and his numbers...
